Your billing cycle will start immediately or the day after your free trial expires, if applicable. You agree to allow Clear Ring, or our payment or service providers, to process and/or store your payment information. At the end of your billing cycle, an invoice will be generated and processed automatically for payment based on your Subscription fee and Usage fees.

Upon termination of your account (Section 2), you will be billed the pro-rated amount for your Subscription fee and Usage fees from your last billing date to the termination date.

You must notify us in writing (email is acceptable) if you dispute any part of the fees paid or payable by you pursuant to these Terms. You must provide written notice to us within sixty (60) days of the date we bill you for the charge you wish to dispute, and we will work together to resolve the dispute promptly.

Usage fees, including additional phone numbers, minutes, team members and campaigns not included in your selected subscription, are not refundable under any circumstances. Minutes are calculated by rounding each call up to the nearest minute and then summing up the minutes. We exclude all calls identified as spam. If a call was not identified as spam before the billing date and an invoice needs to be adjusted, please contact our support team. We reserve the right to alter our service and usage fees at any time by posting a new pricing structure to our website or in your account and/or sending you an email notification.

We reserve the right to change our Subscription fee and Usage fees with a notice of 28 days via email. You reserve the right to cancel or dispute these fees. Unless you cancel your subscription or account you will be automatically charged the new subscription fee on your next billing cycle after the notice was issued. Any dispute to the fee changes must be made during the notice period (28 days) or prior to the date of the new fees being effective.

Subject to Section 2. Clear Ring does not refund any payments made or due on termination of your account or provision of services.
