- Advertiser further grants ECR and its affiliates the ability to copyright and protect the User Contributions, including the images, copy, and content available via any Advertiser’s listing, from the unauthorized use by unaffiliated third parties who may, from time to time, attempt to pirate such information via electronic or other means.

- Fees, Payment Terms.
- Subscription Fees. Advertiser shall pay ECR the fees and expenses set forth in the applicable order between Advertiser and ECR. Payment will be as set forth in the applicable order form, generally by major credit card or debit card, Stripe, Paypal, e-check or similar, on an annual automatic and recurring basis. A valid credit card must remain on file at all times.
- Automatic Renewal of Subscriptions. For any subscription paid for by credit card, such subscription shall automatically renew at the expiration of the then-current term for an additional term of the same duration (as the previous term) and at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. Automatic renewal applies to all subscriptions purchased by credit card or e-check. The automatic renewal feature allows your service to remain uninterrupted at the expiration of your then-current term. If Advertiser wishes to turn off auto-renewal, Advertiser must log on to its account and manually turn off auto-renewal, prior to expiration of the then-current term. Requests received via email, voicemail, or other correspondence do not constitute a valid opt-out. Upon any such turning off auto-renewal, your subscription will remain active through the expiration of your then-current subscription term, however your subscription will not be automatically renewed upon the expiration of your then current term. If the subscription does not auto-renew or expires at the end of the then current subscription term and Advertiser desires to renew the subscription, Advertiser will be required to pay the then-current non-promotional subscription rate to renew the subscription or to activate a new subscription. If Advertiser does not turn off auto-renewal, Advertiser re-affirms and authorizes ECR to charge the credit card at the end of each subscription term for an additional term of the same duration as the initial term and at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate for the same product or service. ECR intends to send reminder emails, prior to the expiration of the term, with regard to the subscription end date and automatic renewal.
- Non-Subscription Listings. If ECR enables Advertiser to list or promote Equipment on a basis other than by subscription, Advertiser agrees to pay the fees, if any, as described in the sign-up process.
