If VoterBuzz™ is for any reason unable to effect automatic payment via your credit card, VoterBuzz™ will attempt to notify you via email and your VoterBuzz™ account will be disabled until payment is received. Amounts paid for the Products, including prepayments, are not refundable. VoterBuzz™ is required to collect and remit sales tax from its customers located in state and local jurisdictions where software delivered as a service is taxable and where VoterBuzz™ maintains a physical presence.
