A. Payment Options.  You may pay fees using the methods available for the particular EA Service and you agree to the terms and conditions applicable to each payment method you choose.  Payment methods may vary by EA Service.  When you provide credit card or other payment information to EA, you represent to EA that you are the authorized user of the credit card or other payment method.  By agreeing to this Terms of Service, you have agreed to permit EA to automatically renew your subscription to an EA Service by charging a valid credit card number which you have provided to EA.  Your subscription will be automatically renewed thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term and each anniversary thereafter for a fee no greater than EA's then-current price, excluding any promotional and discount pricing, unless you cancel your subscription.  You must provide current, complete, and accurate information for your billing account.  You must promptly update all information to keep your billing account current, complete, and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and you must promptly notify EA if your credit card is canceled (for example, for loss or theft).  Changes to such information can be made by contacting Customer Service at support.ea.com.  If you fail to provide EA any of the foregoing information, you agree that EA may continue charging you for any subscription automatically renewed unless you cancel your subscription at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the subscription.  EA reserves the right to utilize third party credit card updating services to obtain current expiration dates on credit cards provided by you to EA.  Customers who use a payment method other than credit card may incur an additional payment processing fee, and may not be able to automatically renew subscriptions.  For further information, visit support.ea.com. 

As the Account holder, you are responsible for all charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all purchases made by you or anyone that uses your Account, including your family or friends.

B. Trial Subscriptions.  For some EA Services, EA may offer a free trial subscription.  If you accept a free trial subscription, EA will begin to bill your Account for that EA Service when the free trial subscription expires, unless you cancel your subscription before that time.  You are always responsible for any internet service provider, telephone, wireless and other connection fees that you may incur when using EA Services, even when we offer a free trial subscription.  Trial subscriptions are not transferrable.

C. Fees Charged By Third-Party Sites and Vendors.  We may provide links to other web sites.  Some of these web sites may charge separate fees, which are not included in any subscription or other fees that you may pay to EA.  Any separate charges or obligations that you incur in your dealings with third parties are your responsibility.
