### a. Automattic Fees

**Fees for Paid Services.** Some of our Services are offered for a fee, such as Happy Tools, Jetpack plans, WordPress.com plans, and some Ecommerce Services (collectively, “Paid Services”). By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees (for example, [Jetpack fees](https://jetpack.com/pricing/), [VaultPress fees](https://vaultpress.com/plans/), [WordPress.com fees](https://wordpress.com/pricing/), and fees associated with specific features, such as [Recurring Payments](https://en.support.wordpress.com/recurring-payments-button/), [WooCommerce Payments](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/payments/faq/fees/), and [domain name registration and renewal](https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-pricing-and-available-tlds/)). Depending on the Paid Service, there may be one-time fees, recurring fees, or revenue-based fees. For recurring fees, we’ll bill or charge you for in regular automatically-renewing intervals (such as monthly, annually, or biennially), on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting the relevant support team. For revenue-based fees -- such as [fees for Recurring Payments](https://en.support.wordpress.com/recurring-payments-button/#related-fees) for your website’s subscriptions -- you pay us a percentage of the revenue your website generates. Revenue-based fees are ongoing.

You are responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your use of our Services, your payments, or your purchases. If we are obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the Fees you’ve paid or will pay, you are responsible for such Taxes, and we may collect payment for such Taxes.

If you use WooCommerce, the [WooCommerce Use Terms](https://woocommerce.com/terms-conditions/) also apply.

We may terminate your access to Ecommerce Services or force refunds (where possible) to your subscribers and customers without notice to you if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your use is in violation of these Terms, or if a payment processor or regulatory authority directs us to do so.

**Third Party Services.** You may choose to set up and/or use third party services, such as [Stripe](https://stripe.com/) or [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/) to collect payment, [TaxJar](https://www.taxjar.com/) to calculate Taxes, or [EasyPost](https://www.easypost.com/) to manage shipping.

If you use WooCommerce Payments or any third-party services, some of your — and your customers’ — data may be submitted directly to or passed to the respective third party, and the respective third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, and other policies may apply. For example, if you use [Recurring Payments](https://en.support.wordpress.com/recurring-payments-button/), you must create or use an existing Stripe account to manage payments, and by using Stripe, you agree to [their terms and policies](https://stripe.com/legal).

You authorize us to share data relating to WooCommerce Payments with the applicable payment processing third party for their use in accordance with their privacy policy.

**Fees.** In some cases, you pay us fees relating to the Ecommerce Services you use. For example, for Recurring Payments, you pay us a [percentage](https://en.support.wordpress.com/recurring-payments-button/#related-fees) (which depends on your plan) of the revenue your website generates through Recurring Payments; you authorize Stripe to direct payment of that percentage to us.

**Tax Calculations.** You are responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your ecommerce activities and your use of Ecommerce Services. You must collect, report, and/or pay the correct amounts to the appropriate authorities if applicable, and if needed, inform your customers about any Taxes they may be required to pay and issue appropriate invoices. While some Ecommerce Services (for example, tax calculations may be provided by TaxJar, if you are using Store) allow you to include sales taxes or Value Added Taxes in transactions, you should not rely solely on these features. While our goal is to keep our documents and tools up-to-date, tax laws change rapidly, and we do not guarantee that tax calculations you receive through or in connection with our Services are complete and accurate. Tax laws also differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may be subject to different interpretations by different authorities. We recommend that you consult with a tax professional for your specific tax situation when assessing the correct tax rates you should charge.
