Scope and relationship to other agreements
These Billing Terms govern subscription and payment-related aspects of EthicPages services. They are part of and incorporated into our Terms of Service. If there is a conflict between these Billing Terms and a signed enterprise order form, the order form controls for the covered commercial terms.
Refund eligibility, where applicable, is governed by our Refund Policy. Data handling connected to billing is described in our Privacy Policy and Data Retention Schedule.
By purchasing, renewing, upgrading, or otherwise paying for EthicPages, you agree to these Billing Terms.
Pricing plans and billing models
EthicPages currently supports the following published price points:
| Plan type | Price | Billing model | Typical use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | $17/month | Recurring monthly | Flexible month-to-month access |
| Annual subscription | $132/year | Recurring annual | Lower effective monthly cost with annual commitment |
| One-time package | $750 one-time | Single non-recurring payment | Defined one-time document or setup deliverable |
| Lifetime package | $1,200 lifetime | Single non-recurring payment | Ongoing access as defined at checkout terms |
Pricing display and currency
- Unless otherwise stated, published prices are denominated in USD.
- Local currency conversion, if shown at checkout, is informational and may vary based on payment provider rates.
- Pricing pages may list regional taxes separately where required by law.
- Promotional or partner pricing may override standard pricing during eligible periods.
Subscription term and auto-renewal
Recurring plans renew automatically unless canceled before the next renewal date.
| Plan | Renewal behavior | Renewal charge timing |
|---|---|---|
| $17/month | Auto-renews monthly | Charged at the start of each monthly term |
| $132/year | Auto-renews annually | Charged at the start of each annual term |
Renewal notices
Where required by local law, EthicPages provides renewal reminders and/or pre-renewal notices. For self-serve accounts, account owners are responsible for monitoring subscription status and payment method validity.
Renewal pricing changes
If recurring plan prices change, updated pricing applies from the next renewal cycle after notice where required. Continued use after renewal constitutes acceptance of updated pricing.
One-time and lifetime purchase terms
The $750 one-time and $1,200 lifetime offerings are non-recurring and charged once at purchase.
One-time package terms
- One-time packages provide the deliverables explicitly listed at checkout.
- Unless stated otherwise, one-time purchases do not include recurring hosting, ongoing updates, or continuous support beyond standard limited support windows.
- Additional services requested beyond package scope may require a new purchase or subscription.
Lifetime package terms
- "Lifetime" refers to access for the lifespan of the purchased product/service offering under reasonable use and legal compliance.
- Lifetime access is tied to the purchasing account or entity as specified at checkout and is non-transferable unless expressly permitted in writing.
- Lifetime access may exclude future premium modules launched as separate products unless explicitly included at purchase.
- If the product is materially discontinued, EthicPages may provide commercially reasonable alternatives such as migration credit, extended access period, or comparable substitute service.
Accepted payment methods and processors
Payments are processed through authorized payment providers (including Stripe). EthicPages does not store full payment card numbers.
| Payment method | Availability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Credit/debit card | Standard self-serve method | Subject to issuer authorization |
| Invoice (where offered) | Approved accounts only | Payment terms may apply |
| Other methods | Case-by-case | Must be approved in writing |
You authorize EthicPages and our payment processors to charge the selected method for all applicable fees, taxes, and charge adjustments.
Invoicing and receipts
EthicPages provides transactional receipts and, where applicable, downloadable invoices.
Invoice principles
- Invoices include plan details, billing period, subtotal, taxes (if applicable), and total amount.
- Invoice issuance date determines due date unless a separate written term applies.
- Customers are responsible for ensuring billing contact details are accurate.
- Disputes should be raised promptly to avoid compounding delinquency status.
Tax invoices and documentation
Where required by law or supported by checkout flows, tax identifiers may be collected and reflected in invoice records.
Taxes and withholding
Fees are generally exclusive of taxes unless explicitly stated otherwise. Customer obligations include:
- Paying VAT, GST, sales tax, use tax, or similar transaction taxes applicable to purchases.
- Providing accurate tax information and exemption certificates where relevant.
- Paying withholding taxes where legally required and providing supporting documentation.
If EthicPages is required to collect and remit taxes, those amounts will be added to billed charges.
Payment failure and dunning process
If a charge fails, EthicPages uses a staged dunning process to recover payment while minimizing disruption.
| Dunning phase | Typical action | Customer impact |
|---|---|---|
| Initial failure | Retry attempts and notification | Service remains active for short grace period |
| Grace period | Additional retries and reminders | Continued access with warning |
| Delinquency threshold | Final notices and payment resolution prompts | Potential feature restriction |
| Suspension | Temporary suspension if unresolved | Access or publishing limitations may apply |
| Termination for non-payment | Account closure per terms after prolonged delinquency | Service termination and data lifecycle actions |
Customer responsibilities during dunning
- Keep payment methods valid and up to date.
- Resolve issuer declines and insufficient funds issues promptly.
- Review billing notifications and contact support quickly if errors are suspected.
Plan changes: upgrades, downgrades, and transitions
Customers can change plans subject to commercial and technical constraints.
Upgrades
- Upgrades may take effect immediately or at cycle boundaries, depending on plan and checkout flow.
- Proration may apply when moving from a lower-cost to higher-cost recurring plan mid-cycle.
- Upgrades can unlock additional features, usage limits, or hosting capabilities.
Downgrades
- Downgrades generally take effect at the next renewal date to preserve current-cycle entitlements.
- Feature access reductions may occur when downgrade becomes effective.
- Customers should export data or adjust usage before downgrade takes effect if limits will change.
Transitioning from recurring to one-time or lifetime
- Recurring plans and one-time/lifetime packages may have distinct entitlements.
- If transitioning from recurring to non-recurring access, recurring billing must be canceled to avoid automatic renewal.
- Existing recurring charges already incurred are not retroactively converted unless explicitly approved.
Cancellations and termination of billing
You may cancel recurring subscriptions at any time through account billing settings or support channels. Cancellation rules:
| Plan type | Cancellation effect |
|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | Ends auto-renewal; access typically continues through paid period |
| Annual subscription | Ends next annual renewal; access continues through paid term |
| One-time purchase | No recurring renewal to cancel |
| Lifetime purchase | No recurring renewal to cancel |
Canceling prevents future renewal charges but does not automatically generate refunds for already paid periods unless required by law or covered by Refund Policy.
Refund handling
Refund outcomes are determined by our Refund Policy, applicable law, and payment processor constraints.
General principles:
- Accidental duplicate charges may be corrected when verified.
- Fraudulent transaction disputes may require additional verification.
- Refund processing time can vary by payment method and issuing bank.
- Chargeback abuse or repeated misuse may result in account restrictions.
Chargebacks and payment disputes
If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact us before initiating a chargeback where possible. This often enables faster correction.
Dispute process expectations
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Customer notice | Customer notifies EthicPages of disputed charge |
| Internal review | Billing records, plan events, and transaction metadata reviewed |
| Resolution path | Correction, refund, clarification, or formal dispute response |
| Processor adjudication | If chargeback proceeds, payment processor/card network process applies |
EthicPages may suspend or terminate accounts associated with abusive or fraudulent chargeback patterns.
Promotional pricing and trials
From time to time, EthicPages may offer promotions, coupons, trial periods, or credits subject to terms:
- Promotions are time-limited and may apply only to new purchases.
- Promotions cannot be combined unless explicitly stated.
- Expired discounts do not retroactively apply to prior or subsequent charges.
- Trial conversions to paid subscriptions may auto-renew unless canceled before trial end.
Usage limits, overages, and fair use
Where plans include usage limits, those limits are described at checkout or in product UI. If overage billing is introduced, terms and notice requirements will be communicated before charges are applied.
For lifetime and one-time offerings, fair use protections may apply to prevent abusive consumption inconsistent with intended use.
Account ownership, billing contacts, and responsibility
The purchasing entity or account owner is responsible for all charges incurred under the account, including authorized team activity.
Best practices
- Assign a current billing owner.
- Use role-based access for billing administration.
- Update billing contact emails after personnel changes.
- Review billing history monthly for unexpected activity.
Delinquent accounts and data access
Failure to pay may result in restricted access, suspension, or termination as permitted under our Terms of Service.
Data handling for delinquent accounts
- During short delinquency windows, limited remediation access may remain available.
- After extended non-payment termination, data may enter retention/deletion lifecycle per Data Retention Schedule.
- Reinstatement, if available, may require full payment of past-due amounts and applicable reactivation fees.
Enterprise and custom terms
Enterprise customers may have custom billing terms in negotiated agreements, such as:
- Net payment terms (for example, net 30).
- Purchase order requirements.
- Multi-entity billing structures.
- Committed usage minimums.
- Contractual true-up mechanics.
Where these terms conflict with default self-serve billing rules, the signed agreement controls for that customer.
Billing communications and notices
EthicPages sends billing notices to account billing contacts and/or account owners. Notice categories may include:
| Notice type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Transactional | New charge receipt, invoice issued |
| Renewal | Upcoming renewal reminder, successful renewal |
| Dunning | Payment failure, grace period reminder, suspension warning |
| Policy updates | Billing term updates, pricing updates, tax handling changes |
Customers are responsible for maintaining reachable billing contact information and allowlisting transactional messages where necessary.
Limitation and non-waiver
Delayed enforcement of a billing provision does not waive EthicPages rights. If any billing provision is held unenforceable, the remainder of these Billing Terms remains effective.
Changes to billing terms
EthicPages may update these Billing Terms to reflect changes in product offerings, legal requirements, tax handling, or processor rules. Material updates are posted with a revised date and, where required, notified to active customers.
Continued use, renewal, or purchase after effective date constitutes acceptance of updated Billing Terms.
