Monetary funds are payable in advance and are not refundable in whole or part. Use of the Monetary-Related ArmRev Services is limited to Members 18 years of age or older.

The availability and use of our Monetary-Related ArmRev Services may be limited based on demographic, geographic, or other criteria as we may establish from time to time. You understand and agree we may disallow you from subscribing to our Monetary-Related ArmRev Services or may terminate your subscription to our Monetary-Related ArmRev Services at any time based on these criteria. For example, individuals under the age of 18 may not use our Monetary-Related ArmRev Services, or we may limit the subscription to a certain Monetary-Related ArmRev Services only to individuals currently in participating areas or locations.

As a user of one of our Monetary-Related ArmRev Services, you agree as follows:

A. You agree to pay, using a valid credit card (or other form of payment which we may accept from time to time), the fixed and periodic charges and fees (including prepayment plan fees for multiple periods) set forth on this Website, applicable taxes, and other charges and fees incurred in order to access our Monetary-Related ArmRev Services.

ArmRev allows Members to purchase micro-gift pointS ("Kredz"), which a Member may elect to give as a micro-gift to certain projects ("Projects") that they have selected.
