Terms & Conditions

Terms of Use and Refund Policy

Worden Brothers, Inc., d/b/a FreeStockCharts( “FSC”), a North Carolina corporation, provides the FreeStockCharts.com website and services, and any data or content available through FreeStockCharts.com, or any other product or service offered by FSC, (collectively, the “FSC Products”), to you under the terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) set forth in this FSC User Agreement (the “User Agreement”). Use of any FSC product or service indicates your acceptance of the Terms and Conditions and your agreement to be bound by this User Agreement. FSC reserves the right to modify this User Agreement at any time and for any reason in FreeStockCharts’s sole discretion. If this User Agreement, or any modification of this User Agreement, is or becomes unacceptable to you, you must discontinue your use of FSC Products immediately. Your continued use of FSC Products after the modification of this User Agreement indicates your valid and legally binding acceptance of such modification.

1. Term, Payments and Refund Policy

FSC Products are offered to you for a term of one month (“Monthly Subscription”) or under a pre-payment plan (the “Pre-Payment Plan”). Your Monthly Subscription payment entitles you to one month of access to FSC Products selected by you. Under the terms of the Monthly Subscription, your credit card is charged on the day you activate the FSC Products, and automatically charged every calendar month thereafter (at the monthly rate) until you cancel your service. For example, if you activate service on the 10th of a given month, your credit card will be charged on the 10th of all subsequent months. If you cancel service anytime during a Monthly Subscription billing period, service will terminate at the end of that billing period. Customers on the monthly plan may cancel service at any time and reinstate it at a later date without penalty.

The Pre-Payment Plan entitles you to bonus access time to the FSC Product at the service level selected by you when you prepay for a number of months in advance. This bonus time is added to the end of the paid access period. As an example, if you sign up for an offer to "Buy 10 months, Get 2 Months Free", this entitles you to 12 months of access to FSC Products. You will get the 10 months you paid for plus an additional 2 months added to the end of the paid service period. In this example, should you decide to cancel after 6 months, you will be refunded for the 4 remaining paid months. Cancellation of service under the Pre-Payment Plan also cancels all free bonus months.

Free Trial Policy: You may cancel at any time during a free trial period by calling 1-800-776-4940. You will not be asked to return anything. This offer is reserved for new users or accounts inactive for at least one year. Limit one per household per year.

30-Day Money Back Guarantee: Enjoy all the benefits of membership for one month with absolutely no risk. Cancel at any time within the first 30 days after purchasing a product for any reason and you'll receive a prompt, 100%, no questions asked refund. Just call 1-800-776-4940. This offer is reserved for new users or accounts inactive for at least one year. Limit one per household per year.

Fee Increases: If necessary, FSC may increase fees for FSC Products at any time by giving thirty (30) days written notice to Subscriber. Subscriber may terminate FSC Products affected by the increase by giving written notice to FSC prior to the effective date of such increase. Fees for the FSC Products specified may be increased by FSC at any time during the term of this Agreement on written notice to Subscriber if FSC becomes aware that any information provided by Subscriber is not accurate.

Shipping charges are non-refundable.
