All payments shall be made in advance or otherwise as laid out on the Pricing page. If your payment is not successful, your account will be downgraded to the Free plan with access to paid features removed. Upgrading to paid plan will start a recurring subscription, and you will be billed every month in advance, on the day of month the subscription was first created. You can cancel the subscription at any time in the billing page, and you will then have access to Pro features for the remainder of the month you have paid for. When that month ends, your account will automatically be downgraded to the Free plan. Should you choose to reactivate your subscription before the account is downgraded, you will continue to have Pro features uninterrupted. In the case where payment fails for paying customers, you will be notified by email and inside the service. If repeated attempts to collect the payment fails, we may disable or block access to the account until payment of all invoices are settled. If payment is not received within a reasonable time, as outlined in our support center, the account will be downgraded to Free (for paid plans).
