All payments are processed through third-party payment processors (such as Stripe, PayPal, or similar services). Your payment information is transmitted directly to the payment processor and is subject to their terms and privacy policy.
For recurring subscriptions, your billing cycle begins on the date of your initial purchase and recurs on the same date each billing period (monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on your plan).

The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy that would be available in court, subject to the limitations in these Terms.
Location of Arbitration
Unless you and Why Behind Weights agree otherwise, the arbitration shall take place in British Columbia, Canada, or at another location mutually agreed upon by the parties. For claims of less than $10,000 USD, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephone hearing, or by an in-person hearing.
Opt-Out Right

Time Limitation
ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR DISPUTE AROSE; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
These Terms and any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Platform, or your use of the Platform shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 20, you and Why Behind Weights agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia, Canada, for any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform.
