In such a case, and if the payment method you selected, or that Sam's Club will charge, is a debit or prepaid card, Sam's Club will provide you with notice at least ten (10) days in advance of the next recurring charge at the higher price, and you will have the option to cancel your subscription. The notice will be sent to the email associated with your SamsClub.com account..

The price, plus any applicable taxes, for each interval (e.g., each month) will be billed to the payment method selected by you on the subscriptions page of your SamsClub.com account, subject to Section III (Accepted Payment Methods) above. If we are unable to complete payment for your third-party service subscription with the payment method you selected to purchase your third-party service subscription (for example, because that payment method has expired or is otherwise unavailable), you agree that we may charge any other payment method stored in your SamsClub.com account until you select a new designated payment method. If no payment methods in your account can be used, your service subscription will be canceled by Sam's Club unless or until you update your payment method information in your SamsClub.com account. Please remember to update your payment method information as necessary to avoid delays or cancellations. Your third-party service subscription will otherwise remain in effect until it is canceled by you or Sam's Club..

Any free-trial period for a service subscription will begin on the date that you activate or start the subscription with the third party. You will be automatically charged for the service subscription at the end of the free-trial period, unless you cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before the free-trial ends. See Section V, below, for instructions on how to cancel..

V. Changing and Canceling Third-Party Service Subscriptions

If you choose to purchase a third-party service subscription, you will continue to receive the subscription until you change or cancel the subscription or your Sam's Club membership. You can change or cancel your third-party service subscription on the subscriptions page in your SamsClub.com account. From there, you can also modify or update your payment method. You must cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of your current interval in order to avoid being charged for the next interval of your third-party service subscription. For example, if your subscription is monthly, you must cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current month in order to avoid a charge for the next monthly cycle. There are no refunds for monthly third-party service subscriptions. For annual third-party service subscriptions, you may cancel through the Sam's Club customer service center within fourteen (14) days of your initial purchase of the third-party service subscription for a full refund. Contact the Sam's Club customer service center at https://help.samsclub.com.

The table below sets out the effects of various changes on both monthly and annual service subscriptions:.

II. Accessing and Using the SNG App

• The SNG App is designed to allow Members to use their smartphones to scan items for purchase in participating Sam's Clubs and skip long checkout lines. To use the SNG App, open the app and scan each item's barcode, or if there is no barcode, the app will use computer vision and AI technology to recognize the products scanned. If the app is unable to automatically determine the item, please look up the item in the SNG App. Please note that images of scanned items may be retained by Sam's Club to improve our software. When shopping is complete, check out and pay for purchases in the SNG App with an accepted form of payment, and show the receipt from your phone on the way out.
• For certain large SNG App purchases, you will be asked to confirm your payment method and identity with a Sam's Club associate located at the Club exit by presenting the credit card used for the transaction and a government-issued photo identification. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, you must pay for your purchase using traditional check-out methods. Please consult your Club for further details.
