Payment, Refunds, Upgrading and Downgrading

A valid credit card is required for paying accounts. Free accounts are not required to provide a credit card number. The Linkpatch site is billed in advance on a monthly basis in accordance with our pricing schedule and all monthly payments are non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open account. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made.

If the account is billed annually, and service is cancelled more than three (3) months prior to the end of the term, the account holder may be eligible for a partial refund. For each full month in excess of three (3) months left on the term, the account holder will receive a refund in full. For example, if the account holder cancels eight (8) months into the service, they would be eligible for a refund equal to one (1) month's payment. This is because all upfront annual payment plans include three (3) months free.

If you initially sign up for a paid account, and you don't cancel that account within 30 days, you will be billed monthly starting on the 30th day after your account was initially created. If you cancel prior to the processing of your first invoice on the 30th day, you will not be charged.

An upgrade from the free 1-site plan to any paying plan will end your free trial. You will be billed for your first month immediately upon upgrading.

All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes. You agree to pay for any such taxes that might be applicable to your use of the Linkpatch site and payments made by you herein.
