3. Account
Monthly plan
When you sign up for a monthly plan, you agree to monthly recurring billing, starting on the date you sign up after the month trial ends.
Billing occurs on the same day each month, based on the date that you started your membership.
Payments are due for any month on the same or closest date to the day you made your first monthly payment.
If any part of a month is included in the Term, then payment is required for the full month. Billing for Monthly Plans may be paused, and you may choose to close your account permanently at any time.
Recurring billing uses the card details stored in your Account section. These details are safely stored with the Stripe services and may be updated at any time.
As long as you’re a user of the platform, you’ll provide us with valid debit or credit card information or IBAN and authorise us to deduct your charges against that card. You’ll replace the information for any card that expires with information for a valid one.
If your card is automatically replaced with a new card by a payment processor, you acknowledge and agree that we’re authorized to deduct any charges on your account against the new card.
If we’re unable to process your card order, we’ll try to contact you by email and may suspend your account until your payment can be processed.
Multiple retails locations: we require a monthly recurring billing for each physical locations, point of sales or billing address. It is not allowed to operate multiple businesses from a single account and we reserve the right to terminate your account if we detect such breach of contract.
