By concluding a contract with us (i.e., placing your membership order), you agree to pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms, the terms and conditions of the respective Fees, and other terms and conditions in force at the moment the contract is concluded. The Fees remain valid for as long as (i) they are indicated on GRAND DUKE or (ii) as communicated by us.
      The Fees are subject to a change with at least 30 calendar days prior notice to you (if you are a registered member) or without notice (if you are not a registered member). Any changes to the Fees will be made available to registered members and, if necessary, we will request you to provide consent to the amendments of the Fees.
    2. Taxes. Unless indicated otherwise, the Fees exclude sales tax and duties imposed by taxing authorities. Such taxes will be calculated and presented to you during checkout.
