Subscriber is responsible for all Internet service provider fees, telecommunication and other charges required for Subscriber’s connection to the Service.

- The Service may be used only by one individual (i.e., by Subscriber, or by one individual on behalf of Subscriber if Subscriber is an entity) and Subscriber may not transfer Subscriber's right to use the Service to any other person or entity.
- Either Subscriber or Pocketstock may terminate this Agreement and Subscriber’s Account at any time, with or without cause.

Pocketstock has the right to charge for any Package (“Subscription”) or content where this clause is not respected and adhered to in full. Any such charges will be made at the current list price, as shown at www.pocketstock.com and can be retrospective in nature.
- If Subscriber does not download the maximum Content (“files”) that Subscriber is entitled to download during the period of a Package (“subscription”), the unused number of permissible downloads will automatically be forfeited and will not carry over.
