Prorated upgrades and downgrades
When you add or remove an add-on, change your billing period, or move to or from the Icebox, Pinecast prorates the change: you pay for the time you use, and you get credit for time you paid for and no longer use. What happens depends on the change.
-
Add an add-on on monthly billing. The add-on turns on right away. The prorated amount is added to your next invoice; your card is not charged immediately.
-
Add an add-on on annual billing. The add-on turns on right away, and your payment method is charged the prorated amount immediately.
-
Remove an add-on. It turns off right away. The unused time is credited: on monthly billing against your next invoice, on annual billing to your account.
-
Switch from monthly to annual billing. Your payment method is charged the prorated amount immediately. Pinecast shows the amount in a confirmation box first.
-
Switch from annual to monthly billing. The monthly plan starts today. The unused part of your annual plan becomes a credit on your account, used for future invoices. You can see it as Account credit on the Payment tab of Settings on the main account dashboard.
-
Move to the Icebox. Your payment method is charged the prorated amount immediately, and your add-ons end. Pinecast shows the amount in a confirmation box first.
-
Return from the Icebox to Starter. Your payment method is charged the prorated amount immediately. Pinecast shows the amount in a confirmation box first.
