2. Plan Exchange
We understand that your needs may change over time. If you decide to upgrade or downgrade your plan, we offer a seamless plan exchange process. Here's how it works:
2.1 Upgrading Plans
When you upgrade to a higher-priced plan:
- Immediate Effect: Your old subscription is cancelled and a new subscription is created
- Full Charge: You are charged the full amount for the new plan immediately
- No Proration: We do not prorate charges between plans
- New Billing Cycle: Your billing cycle resets to the new plan's schedule
- No Refund: No refund is provided for the unused portion of your previous plan
Example: If you upgrade from a $10/month plan to a $20/month plan on day 15 of your billing cycle, you will be charged $20 immediately and your new billing cycle starts from that date.
2.2 Downgrading Plans
When you downgrade to a lower-priced plan:
- Scheduled Downgrade: The downgrade is scheduled for the end of your current billing period
- No Immediate Change: You continue using your current plan until the billing period ends
- No Refund: No refund is provided for the current billing period
- New Billing Cycle: The new plan takes effect at the start of the next billing cycle
- Reduced Charges: You will be charged the lower amount for the new plan starting from the next cycle
Example: If you downgrade from a $20/month plan to a $10/month plan on day 15 of your billing cycle, you continue using the $20 plan until day 30, then switch to the $10 plan for the next cycle.
