Billing Cycle
Kid Car NY charges the Customer's Payment Card on a weekly basis for all unpaid trips since the previous billing period.

Pending Charges for Payment Cards
If your Payment Method is a credit or charge card (the Payment Card), you also authorize Kid Car NY to place a pending charge to your Payment Card when you sign up for membership, and prior to each subsequent periodic charge. Pending charges are used to verify your billing address and the validity of your Payment Card, are temporary (typically 3 to 7 days in length), and will not be converted into an actual charge to you. Pending charges, while pending, will, however, reduce the available amount of credit on your Payment Card in the amount of $1 per pending charge.

Fees Relating to your Payment Method
You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your Payment Method by the issuer, bank, or financial institution including, but not limited to, membership, overdraft, in-sufficient funds and over the credit limit fees.

Disclosure to and Electronic Fund Transfer Authorization by Check Card Holders
Check cards are a form of debit card which cause charges against bank accounts and are subject to federal law. If the Payment Card you have provided is a check card, in order to request Kid Car NY to extend your Membership Term from period to period you must authorize Kid Car NY or its agent to charge the check card on periodic anniversary dates and therefore to effect preauthorized transfers from the bank account that is associated with your check card. Your request to pay your recurring periodic Kid Car NY membership fee and/ or Trip Charge (plus applicable taxes), with preauthorized charges to your check card and your electronic execution of an acknowledgment of your acceptance of these terms and conditions constitutes your preauthorized electronic fund transfer authorization for future charges on your check card and your assent to these terms and conditions. You further acknowledge that the amount charged to your check card may be different from time to time, in accordance with Kid Car NY Terms and Conditions, including, without limitation, changes in Trip Charge amounts or other fees, differing amounts due to the frequency of trips taken in Kid Car NY vehicles, promotional offers, changes in the amount of applicable sales tax, and you authorize Kid Car NY to charge your Payment Card for such varying amounts. You may cancel your Kid Car NY membership as described below. No refunds will be made for Kid Car NY membership fees already paid or charged except as listed above under 'Rebates/ Refunds.' You may also cancel your preauthorized charge authorization by contacting your bank within a sufficient time to cancel the authorization (see your agreement with your bank for the terms and conditions of cancellation), but cancellation of your authorization with your bank will not serve as notice to Kid Car NY concerning cancellation of your Kid Car NY membership.

Promotional Offers
From time to time, at Kid Car NY's sole discretion, Kid Car NY may offer a reduced membership fee and/ or Trip Charge for the Kid Car NY service for a specified promotional period, to first-time or other selected customers. If you are taking advantage of an introductory offer for new customers, at the time of registration for the Kid Car NY service, your Payment Method will be charged the promotional price plus applicable taxes for the promotional period. For all promotional offers, you agree that any such reduced price is only valid for the specified promotional period, and that the regular applicable periodic membership fee and/ or Trip Charge plus applicable taxes will be charged to your Payment Method for each automatic renewal following the end of the promotional period. Terms of the promotional offer, including the promotional price and duration of the promotional price, may vary from time to time. Specific details of your offer not covered in these Terms and Conditions will be explained on the web page on which you land prior to beginning the sign-up process or as part of the sign-up process.

Expiration Date and Refusal of Charges to Your Payment Card
If your Payment Card reaches its original expiration date, your failure to cancel your Kid Car NY membership constitutes authorization for Kid Car NY to continue billing that Payment Card. If your Payment Card for any reason will not accept charges for any periodic membership fee and/ or Trip Charge, you have a period of 14 days from the date that your Payment Card was declined to make your Payment Card information valid by either rectifying the issue with the Payment Card issuer or providing new Payment Card information at www.kidcarny.com. If Kid Car NY is able to charge your Payment Card (existing or new, if you have provided new Payment Card information) during the 14-day period and any past due Kid Car NY membership fees and/ or Trip Charges are paid, then Kid Car NY benefits will continue uninterrupted and this Payment Card will be used to charge the applicable periodic membership fee and/ or Trip Charge until your Kid Car NY membership is canceled (your original anniversary date will still apply) and will be your Payment Card for all purposes. If Kid Car NY is unable to charge your Payment Card (existing or new, if you have provided new Payment Card information), within the 14-day period, then your Kid Car NY membership will be indefinitely suspended beginning on the 15th day from the date your Payment Card was initially declined. For the 90 days immediately following the suspension, Kid Car NY may attempt to charge the Payment Card the periodic membership fee. If the charge is accepted, then your Kid Car NY benefits will be reinstated as of the date the charge is accepted. The Payment Card will be used to charge the applicable periodic membership fee and/ or Trip Charge until you cancel your Kid Car NY membership and will be your Payment Card for all purposes.

Member Initiated
After the first year of membership, Membership can be canceled at any time. If Members cancel their membership within 30 days after the renewal date, AND the Member has taken no trips and made no future reservations, their Annual Membership Fee for the renewal year will be refunded, and their account closed. Membership fees are not refundable after 30 days after renewal. If membership is canceled, all future reservations will be deleted from Kid Car NY's reservation system.

Kid Car NY initiated
Kid Car NY may suspend or cancel a Kid Car NY membership account, or otherwise restrict your use of Kid Car NY, in Kid Car NY's sole discretion, with or without cause; provided that if such account is suspended or cancelled without cause, Kid Car NY will refund the portion of the Annual Membership Fee attributable to the period of suspension or the remaining portion of the year following cancellation, as the case may be.

Cancellation or Changes to Program by Kid Car NY
Kid Car NY may make changes to the Kid Car NY service, including, without limitation, any promotional offers and free trials, at any time, and from time to time, without prior notice. Kid Car NY reserves the right to suspend or end the Kid Car NY service (including, without limitation, ceasing to offer one or all of Kid Car NY services) without prior notice, in Kid Car NY's sole discretion. Void where prohibited.
