Frequently asked questions
Doesn't answer your question? Contact us and we'll do our best to help you out.
- What happens if I hit my download limit?
- Think of these as soft limits, if you're consistently over your limit we'll ask you to upgrade your plan to one more suited for your needs. We understand traffic spikes happen and things do go viral from time to time.
- How do you handle Membership fee collection?
- We leverage Stripe Connect to collect payment information, bill your members, manage subscriptions, and handle payouts. All financial information and processing is handled and stored by Stripe directly.
- Is the Triennial billing for real?
- Yup, 100%. Long term customers are the bread and butter of any stable business and we're happy to pass on some great savings for a longer term commitment. Buy a year and get 2 months free, buy three years and get 12 months free. Sounds like a great deal to us!
- Can I upgrade at any time to a discounted plan?
- Yes. At any time you can upgrade on a prorated basis to any plan or term basis you like.
- How easy is it to cancel my subscription?
- Easy, just log into your account and cancel your current billing plan. We believe that if you can easily sign up for something online you should be able to cancel it just as easily. No phone calls, emails, or live chats to wade through.
