(c) Tutorark's role is solely to facilitate the availability of the Site and Services to Tutors and Users through the marketplace created by the Site and Services; and

6. USER PLANS PLANS
Unless you pre-purchase a User Plan, you will automatically engage in any Tutor Sessions pursuant to a Pay As You Go Plan and the credit card linked to your Account will be charged in accordance with the then current Pay As You Go hourly rates, provided that the minimum charge for any Tutor Session is fifteen (15) minutes, after which time you will be charged on a per minute basis.

By purchasing a User Plan, you acknowledge that you are pre-purchasing a Plan Credit, which may be used towards Tutor Sessions and that all Tutor Sessions that extend beyond the Plan Credit remaining on your Account will be charged to the credit card linked to your account at the hourly rate applicable to a Pay As You Go Plan unless you pre-purchase another User Plan or you elect to automatically renew your User Plan upon its expiry. If you elect to automatically renew your User Plan, the credit card linked to your Account will be charged for the then current price of the same User Plan immediately upon the expiry of your prior Plan Credit. You acknowledge that such renewal will continue as a recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all such recurring charges until you cancel the automatic renewal feature. To cancel the automatic renewal feature of your User Plan at any time, you must logon to your Account and follow the cancellation procedures or call or email us and we will do it for you.

If you sign up for a free trial, you may cancel at any time during the free trial period and incur no charge. Once purchased, User Plans are not eligible for a refund. All Plan Credits purchased pursuant to a User Plan expire after one (1) year from the date of purchase. Tutorark may submit additional charges to the credit card linked to your Account (including per minute charges at the hourly rate applicable to a Pay As You Go Plan for Tutor Sessions that exceed your User Credit as detailed herein) without further authorization from you.

The credit card information provided by you and linked to your account is kept on file by Tutorark allowing you to engage in a Pay As You Go Plan and/or renew or upgrade your chosen User Plan without having to provide that information on a periodic basis. Tutorark will charge the credit card linked to your Account for the amount applicable to your chosen User Plan and/or on an ongoing basis pursuant to a Pay As You Go Plan or in such other amount as you and we may later agree.

Prices for your chosen User Plan may be changed at any time and each renewal of your User Plan will be at the price that you were originally charged for that User Plan when you initially subscribed unless otherwise stated or there is a change in the price of your User Plan. You will receive reasonable notice of any change in prices prior to the effective date of the new pricing by email or other reasonable means such as a notice in your Account on the Site or other Tutorark communications with you.

If a User Plan renewal transaction is not honoured for any reason, Tutorark: (i) will charge you a fee for the failed transaction; and/or (ii) may suspend or end your chosen Account until confirmation, satisfactory to Tutorark, has been received that the credit card attached to your Account has been restored to good status.
