If you choose to make an in-app purchase, you will be prompted to enter details for your account with the mobile platform you are using (e.g. Apple iTunes, Google Play) ('your IAP Account'), and your IAP Account will be charged for the in-app purchase in accordance with the terms disclosed to you at the time of purchase as well as the general terms applicable to your IAP Account. Some Services are available by subscription for a periodic charge ('Subscription'). IF YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED AT THE START OF EACH NEW SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
