Billing Terms

1. Parties and scope

These Billing Terms govern payments for paid plans offered by [Company legal name], which operates the AI SEO Score Checker service. They are incorporated into our Terms of Use. Where the two conflict on a billing matter, these Billing Terms prevail.

2. Plans and prices

Prices are listed in US dollars. Plan features and monthly allowances are described on the pricing page. The price shown at checkout is the price you pay for that billing period.

3. Payment method

We accept payment by credit or debit card through Stripe, our payment processor. By subscribing, you authorize us and Stripe to charge your card for the subscription fee and any applicable taxes at the start of each billing period. Card details are stored by Stripe, not by us. You must provide a valid card that you are authorized to use.

4. Billing cycles and automatic renewal

• Monthly plans renew every month on the same calendar day as your first payment.
• Annual plans renew every twelve months from the purchase date.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the then current price until you cancel.
• For annual plans, we send a reminder email before renewal where the law requires it.

5. Allowances within a billing period

Tool allowances on every paid plan reset monthly, including on annual plans. Runs that go unused in a given month expire at the reset and are not credited or refunded.

6. Taxes

Unless stated otherwise, prices exclude sales tax, VAT, GST and similar taxes. Where we are required to collect tax, it is calculated from your billing location and shown at checkout and on your receipt. Business customers may provide a tax ID where reverse charge rules apply.

7. Upgrades and downgrades

• Upgrades take effect immediately. Stripe may charge a prorated amount for the rest of the current period.
• Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing period, and you keep your current plan until then.
• Switching from monthly to annual starts a new annual term from the date of the switch.

8. Failed payments

If a charge fails, Stripe will retry it over the following days and we will email you so you can update your card. If payment is still not received after the retry period, your subscription may be cancelled and your account moved to the Free plan. Your saved reports are not deleted because of a failed payment.

9. Price changes

We may change subscription prices in the future. Any increase applies from your next renewal after we give at least 30 days' notice by email. If you do not agree to the new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.

10. Receipts and invoices

A receipt is emailed after each successful payment. Past invoices can be accessed through your dashboard or requested from support. Please keep your billing email current so these reach you.

11. Refunds and cancellation

You can cancel anytime from your dashboard or by emailing support; access continues until the paid period ends. Refund eligibility is set out in the Refund Policy, and the cancellation process in the Subscription Cancellation policy.

12. Billing disputes

Raise any billing concern within 60 days of the charge by writing to support. We investigate every report and correct genuine errors promptly.

13. Contact

Billing questions go to [email protected], and formal notices may be addressed to [Company legal name] at [Business address]. These terms are governed by the laws of [Governing law state/country].
