Subscription Start Date and Payment Schedule
For the Monthly Plan
- Payments are due on a 30-day cycle, starting from the date you complete your registration on the site.
- You are required to pay in advance upon completing your registration on the site.
- If you already have a monthly subscription, the start date will align with that of your existing subscription. In this case, the payment for the first month will be prorated based on the number of days remaining until the next billing date, and starting the following month, you will be required to pay the full monthly amount in advance.
For the Yearly Plan (annual)
- Payments are made on an annual cycle, starting on the 1st day of the month following the month in which your site registration is completed.
- The payment for the first month will be prorated based on the number of days remaining until the next billing date, and you will be required to pay this amount in advance upon completion of your site registration.
- You will pay the full annual fee in advance on the 1st day of the month following your registration, and the subscription will automatically renew at the same intervals for subsequent years.
*The prorated amount is automatically calculated to the millisecond at the time of sign-up.
Payments When Changing Plans
- If, when downgrading or making a similar change, the amount you have already paid for the current month or year exceeds the amount for the new plan, the difference will be offset against payments starting the following month.
- If, upon upgrading or similar changes, the amount you have already paid for the current month or fiscal year is less than the amount for the new plan, you will be billed for the shortfall at the time of the plan change.
Please note that refunds are not available in either case.
