ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR MEMBERS AND PURCHASERS OF DIGITAL PRODUCTS
The following is an additional set of terms that apply only to those who choose to become Members or who purchase a Digital Product. These terms are in addition to the Conditions of Use of Site above and nothing in these terms overrides or replaces any of the above conditions.
YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY
In order to become a Member or purchase a Digital Product, You must pay a fee and taxes where applicable. For more information visit, prices and membership.
