Failure to provide such information to Abroadly may result in charges to your current Payment Method for the Paid Services, and you acknowledge that you remain responsible for these charges.
Abroadly reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that may result in incorrect payment for Paid Services and may, in its absolute discretion, return or refund all or some of the amount of the payment even after a request or receipt of payment is made or may require additional payment in the event that an underpayment has been made.
