Our Services are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. There may also be additional charges, including set up and maintenance fees, custom services, storage, and usage-based fees.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or BOILERPLATE Inc. cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting BOILERPLATE Inc. customer support team.
A valid payment method, including credit card or PayPal, is required to process the payment for your subscription. You shall provide BOILERPLATE Inc. with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize BOILERPLATE Inc. to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, BOILERPLATE Inc. will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
If you purchase and register an account under our Enterprise Subscription option, you must use your Account in compliance with your organization’s terms and policies. Boilerplate Enterprise accounts establish a business relationship between Boilerplate and your organization, and thus are subject to your organization’s control. Your administrator may be able to access, disclose, restrict, or remove information in or from your Enterprise account. They may also be able to restrict or terminate your Enterprise access to the Enterprise account. If you plan to convert an existing personal account to an Enterprise Account, please contact support.
BOILERPLATE Inc. may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time or limited amount of system activity (“Free Trial”).
You may be required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for Free Trial.
If you enter your billing information when signing up for Free Trial, you will not be charged by BOILERPLATE Inc. until Free Trial has expired. On the last day of Free Trial period, unless you cancelled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected.
At any time and without notice, BOILERPLATE Inc. reserves the right to (i) modify Terms of Service of Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer. After the trial expires, if you do not select a paid plan, access to files and information stored in our system may be terminated.
BOILERPLATE Inc., in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify Subscription fees and usage allowances for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.
BOILERPLATE Inc. will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.
Your continued use of Service after Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
You may cancel your Subscription at any time. Refunds are only issued if you cancel your subscription within 14 days of signing up for, upgrading to, or renewing a Subscription.
Any contests, sweepstakes or other promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through Service may be governed by rules that are separate from these Terms of Service.
