To access paid resources, it is necessary to acquire a subscription to one of the offered plans, all with monthly usage cycle, and available for subscription by monthly or annual payment recurrences, according to User's choice.

Annual plans operate through upfront or installment payment of the amount corresponding to 12 (twelve) months of use, offering continuous access to resources and functionalities of the selected plan during the entire annual period. The installment limit and form of installment will be indicated within the platform system.

3.2.2. The monthly limit quantity is not cumulative, meaning that if the User does not use the limit of each functionality, for example, piece writings or questions included in their plan, the benefits will not be transferred to the next cycle. At each new cycle, the usage limit is renewed without accumulation of services not used in the previous cycle.

3.2.3. The use of a functionality will be accounted for regardless of User satisfaction with the quality or adequacy of the obtained Result.

3.2.4. If the User exceeds the limits established by the contracted plan, an additional amount will be charged relative to the excess used ("Excess Usage"), as provided in the current plan. Excess Usage will be automatically charged through the payment method chosen by the User, preferably at the beginning of the User's next monthly usage cycle.

3.2.4.1. Forlex, at its sole discretion, may bill Excess Usage at periods shorter than the monthly cycle when the accumulated Excess Usage debt exceeds the limit value established in the contracted or customized plan in negotiation. In this case, a billing notification will be sent to the User, through all registered means, informing the closure of the Excess Usage invoice and automatic billing will be performed through the payment method selected by the User. In case of payment option that requires User action, they will have 72 hours to make payment, under penalty of service suspension.

3.2.5. In situations where there is technical failure resulting in non-generation of requested content on the platform, the corresponding usage will not be accounted for billing or credit consumption purposes. Technical failure is understood as any problem related to infrastructure or platform functioning. The User must immediately notify the platform about such failures, and non-accounting will be performed after verification and confirmation by the technical team. Notification must be made to email support@forlex.ai or through the support chat.

3.3. Payment and Billing.

3.3.1. Payments must be made according to prices and terms specified at the time of contracting. Billing occurs recurrently and automatically, according to the chosen plan (monthly or annual). This means that, at the end of each billing cycle (month or year), the subscription will be automatically renewed, and the amount corresponding to the plan will be charged to the registered payment method, without need for additional action or authorization from the User.

3.3.2. Subscriptions are charged monthly or annually, according to the selected plan, through credit card. The platform may, exceptionally, offer other payment methods and subscription modalities.

If there is cancellation of an annual or monthly plan before the end of the contracted period, the User will remain with access to the Platform until the end of the contracted period and there will be, under no circumstances, financial refund to the user relative to remaining unused credits (whether of non-produced documents or any other type of credit).

3.4.3. Payments made on our platform are non-refundable, up to the limit of applicable legislation, and their billing will occur in full, regardless of whether the user uses or not all available services, in a given month, for their plan.

3.4.4. To confirm the validity of credit card data provided by the person (individual or legal) intended to be a User, the Platform may perform a transaction to test said credit card, making a charge in the amount of the chosen plan, which will be properly reversed subsequently, so that there will be no effective billing of the amount arising from the test transaction.

3.4.5. For all Plan modalities, prepaid credit cards, similar cards, or any other payment modality that does not allow immediate identification of its holder will not be accepted as payment method.

3.4.6. The User ensures and commits to constantly keep updated the information provided in Registration and Payment, being aware of the possibility of harm to themselves or third parties as a result of omissions or presentation of incorrect information.

3.4.7. Forlex may, at its sole discretion, suspend access or cancel the plan unilaterally in case of default equal to or greater than 72h (seventy-two hours) running by the contracting User. The Parties agree that prior notice is not necessary for suspension or cancellation.

3.5. Promotional Discounts.

3.5.1. Forlex reserves the right to offer specific discounts for annual plans, at its sole discretion, being able to grant or withdraw these discounts at the end of the contracted periodicity.

3.6.2. We recommend that the User, before contracting the plan, evaluate which functionalities and usage volumes best meet their needs, considering that each plan offers different levels of access and usage limits. Selection of the adequate plan is entirely the User's responsibility, being important to verify conditions and limitations of each available option.
