Billing, refund, upgrading and downgrading terms

A valid credit card is required for access to any paid Service or plan after expiration of the initial trial period.
The initial trial period is 30 days. During this time you do not have to enter credit card details and you will have unlimited access to all features of the Service at no charge. After the trial period your Account may be blocked or your access to the Service limited to the extent we determine in our sole discretion. This means that certain content stored under your Account may be unavailable.
After the trial period you will have to enter credit card details and select an appropriate plan to gain access to any features or data used or entered during the trial to which access was blocked upon expiration of the trial.
The Service is billed in advance on a monthly basis and is non-refundable. If any lump-sum or yearly subscription payments are made these will also be non-refundable under all circumstances, including early cancellation of your Account. There will be no refunds or credits for partial terms of service or upgrade/downgrade refunds. No exceptions will be made.
Property Frontier is under no obligation to continue storing any content stored under an Account which has been blocked due to non-payment of the required fees for accessing that Account, Service or plan.
Your monthly billing date will be the first day after the trial period from that day forth until the cancellation of your account. If this day does not occur in any given month you will be billed on the last day of such a month.
If you upgrade or downgrade in plan level your provided credit card will automatically be charged with the rate of the new plan on your next billing date.
Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of Content, features, or capacity of your Account. Property Frontier does not accept any liability for such loss.
