Membership and Recurring Charges

You may purchase a Poptropica membership ("Membership") for your own User Account or another person's User Account at www.poptropica.com. You must be eighteen (18) years or older to purchase a Membership or any other items or services on the Poptropica Sites. By purchasing a Membership on the Poptropica Sites, you represent that you are eighteen (18) years or older and that you are authorized to use the chosen payment method (including, without limitation, credit cards) for the purpose of purchasing Membership as described herein.

Membership can be purchased for various terms of months and provides certain benefits as stated on the Membership information page. A purchased Membership shall renew automatically at the conclusion of the then current Membership period for the same duration at the then current price for the applicable Membership period. A Membership renewal shall be charged to the credit card or payment method, as applicable, used at the first time of purchase. A purchaser may always cancel or decline to renew a membership as explained in the Membership information page. Please note that if a Membership is cancelled before the expiration of the then current term, no refund will be made to the purchaser for the then current Membership period (or any portion thereof), but the Membership will not renew upon the expiration of the then current Membership period. Memberships are non-transferable and non-refundable, except at SAM's sole discretion or as may be required by law.
