4. Subscription Fees, Payment and Other Associated Information
4.1 Plans
Jestor offers different plans that enable you to have access to different features and parts of the Services. A Subscription Plan may be free or may have fees associated with it. Those fees may be presented in the following forms:
- Base fee means the monthly recurring fee for a Subscription Plan, or the combined annual fee when purchasing a yearly subscription. Those will be due as long as your subscription is active.
- Exceeded usage means fees accumulated by usage that exceed the limit of Actions of the current Subscription Plan.
- Service fees means individual fees associated with the acquisition of additional services, including but not limited to custom development, consulting services, or acquisition of in-platform credit for the exchange of such services.
- Additional fees means fees associated with additional perks or benefits, including but not limited to premium templates or add-on features.
Jestor may change the fees associated with the Subscription Plans at their sole discretion, and the new fees will be effective in the billing cycle following communication regarding such changes. Those changes can be communicated by email, notifications in the platform, updates on the pricing page of the website, or any means chosen at our sole discretion.
For additional information on usage and rate limits, please refer to our documentation on https://docs.jestor.com/docs/rate-limits.
4.2 Payment
Unless otherwise expressed in an Order Form, payments for the fees incurred shall be charged automatically via the credit card you associate with your account at the moment of your purchase, or other credit card indicated by you in a posterior moment. You hereby agree to provide us with valid, accepted credit card information, and declare that you have permission to incur charges in any credit card you provide to us.
In the case of failed payments, we may: (i) continue to provide the Services while attempting to charge your credit card for the outstanding balance (or contact you for settlement with a different payment method or the payment method indicated in your Order Form, if applicable), in a period of time and frequency chosen at our sole discretion; or (ii) cancel your access and subscription, and terminate this Terms and any applicable Order Forms. A decision to execute the former does not constitute a forfeiture of our right to do the latter (in full or partially), and the cancellation of your subscription does not release you of the responsibility of payment for any amounts you may still have outstanding.
Any payment not remitted or successfully charged when due will be subject to interest to 1.5% per month or the highest applicable legal rate, whichever is lower. You will also be responsible for the reimbursement of any costs incurred by Jestor for the collection of unpaid fees.
4.3 Upgrades and other alterations
You may request, either to Jestor’s team or through the platform, upgrades to higher plans to have access to additional features or a higher usage cap than entitled to in your current Subscription Plan. Depending on the payment method, you may either be (i) immediately charged the prorated amount (between the day of the upgrade and the date of the next billing cycle) for the upgraded features, or (ii) receive this prorated amount in subsequent invoices or charges additionally to the base plan. Subsequent invoices or charges will then reflect the amount of the new plan and usage limits. Plan downgrades will not be possible until renewals.
4.4 Termination and Cancellation
(a) Termination by us.
We may terminate your account, subscription, these Terms and/or any Order Form, either as a consequence of violation of these Terms by you or without cause, at our sole discretion.
The termination of any of the aforementioned items does not implicate in the termination of the others, but we may choose to do so.
It is possible that you may have acquired a Jestor account and premium plan through a special deal, either through us or one of our partners. In such a case, we may terminate the account and refund you for the amount paid. You will not be entitled to refunds in case the termination of your account is motivated by your violation of these Terms.
(b) Cancellation by you.
You may choose to cancel your Subscription Plan without cause. To request cancellation, you can use the in-platform subscription manager or provide written notice of cancellation at least fourteen (14) days before the end of your Subscription Term to [email protected].
Requesting cancellation does not end your subscription until the end of your Subscription Term, nor releases you of the responsibility of payment of any accrued fees until such date.
(c) Post-termination fees, responsibilities and customer data.
Neither termination by us or cancellation by you release you from the responsibility of payment of any accrued fees. You will pay any remaining fees within seven (7) days of the termination or cancellation, either by an automatic charge in the credit card associated with your account or, failing that, through an alternative payment method approved by Jestor.
In case your account is not terminated, you will still be responsible and liable for the content and usage as dictated in these Terms.
In case your account is terminated, you will have sixty (60) days from the date of notification to retrieve your Customer Data. We do not guarantee access or the integrity of your data past such date.
4.5 Renewals
Unless previously cancelled by you or this agreement is terminated by Jestor, your subscription will be renewed automatically for a period equal in length to your current Subscription Term, and in the same Subscription Plan (or equivalent, if not available).
You hereby acknowledge and agree that you will still have a responsibility for fees incurred during renewal should you fail to cancel your subscription in accordance with these Terms by the appropriate date.
