3. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS & PRICING
3.1 Plans and configuration
- We offer subscription plans and configuration options (including any selectable target areas, service pages, usage limits, traffic or page limits and other inclusions) as described on our pricing page (Pricing Page) and/or in an order form, checkout screen or online sign-up flow (Order).
- Your Subscription Fees are calculated based on the plan and configuration you select (including via any sliders or similar tools) at the time you place an Order, for each website (unless stated otherwise in the Order).
3.2 Prices, currency and taxes
- Unless stated otherwise, prices are shown in United States Dollars (USD).
- Prices exclude all applicable taxes, duties and government charges unless stated otherwise. Where Australian law requires prices to be displayed as a single total price (including GST and unavoidable fees), we will display prices to you on that basis in the applicable purchase flow.
3.3 Pricing Page forms of price
- The Pricing Page may be updated from time to time, including to reflect changes in plans, inclusions, configuration options, usage tiers, and pricing. Updates to the Pricing Page do not, of themselves, amend these Terms.

3.4 Changes to pricing for new and existing subscriptions
- Any updated pricing applies to new subscriptions purchased after the update is published (or after any later effective date we specify).

- If you do not agree to a price increase, you may cancel your subscription effective at the end of your then-current Subscription Period (or before the increase takes effect) in accordance with these Terms. If you continue your subscription after the effective date, you are taken to have accepted the new price for the next Subscription Period.
3.5 Usage-based charges and overages (if applicable)
If your plan includes usage limits (including traffic, pages, target areas, service pages or similar), we may (as described on the Pricing Page or in your Order) charge for usage above your plan limits, require you to move to a higher tier, or apply other measures described on the Pricing Page.
3.6 Non-refundable payments
Subscription Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or expressly stated in these Terms.

4.2 Payment details and authorisation
Valid payment details are required at sign-up. You authorise us (or our payment processor) to process a temporary authorisation or verification charge (which may appear as a pending transaction) to validate your payment method. Any such authorisation is not a fee and is typically reversed by your financial institution in accordance with its processes.
4.3 Automatic conversion to paid subscription (monthly or periodic subscriptions)
If you do not cancel before the end of the 14-day Free Trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and billing will commence for the next billing period at the price shown to you at checkout (or otherwise agreed in your Order) for your Selected Plan.
4.4 Annual licences
Free Trials are not available for annual subscriptions or annual licences unless we expressly offer a Free Trial to you in writing (including via an Order, promotion or other written notice) on an ad hoc basis. Any such Free Trial may be subject to additional conditions specified by us.

- Free Trials are limited to one per customer (and we may also limit Free Trials to one per website, account, domain, business or payment method).
- Free Trials must not be used for fraudulent purposes, competitive analysis, service testing (including load or penetration testing) or other misuse.
- We may refuse, revoke or suspend a Free Trial (or limit trial access) if we reasonably suspect misuse, ineligibility or a breach of these Terms.
