7. Payment

Once any initial free trial period has expired (if applicable), you will need to pay us a subscription fee to be able to use Write.Studio in relation to your account. The monthly or annual subscription fee you need to pay depends on the type of account you open with us, as shown on the Website. Prices shown on the Website are in US dollars and include GST (unless expressly stated otherwise). We may from time to time vary the prices shown on the Website without notice, in which case price variations will apply to all subsequent subscription fees that become due and payable by you under these Terms of Use. You should check the Website regularly for current prices. If prior to your next monthly or annual subscription payment being due, you change the type of account that you have (by upgrading or downgrading) and such change results in a change to the amount of your monthly or annual subscription fee, on the date that you make the account change (Change Date) you will be billed in full for the monthly or annual subscription fee applicable to your new plan. Within 30 days of the Change Date you will then receive a pro-rata refund in respect of the pre-paid but unused portion of days of your previous plan (calculated from the Change Date).
Monthly and annual subscription fees are payable in advance prior to using Write.Studio for the first time (unless an initial free trial period applies to your account). If an initial free trial period applies to your account, the subscription fee for the first month or year will be due and payable immediately after the trial period expires. If you have registered for a free trial, your free trial days commence immediately upon your registration.
Following your initial monthly or annual subscription fee payment, the subscription fees for each month or year after the first month or year will be due and payable immediately after the previous month or year expires. Annual subscription fees are payable by you in full in advance for each year, or any part thereof, during which your account remains open.
Sometimes we offer “free days” promotions, which if validly redeemed will grant you a specified number of free days to use your account. To redeem these promotional offers you must enter the valid promotional code when you register for the first time, or if you already have an account, within your account details where indicated. If validly redeemed you will receive the associated free days (e.g., an extra 15 days), which will be applied to the end of the billing cycle in which the promotion is redeemed (so that your next monthly or annual subscription fee will be pushed out by the number of free promotional days redeemed in that billing cycle).
We only accept payments by debit card or credit card. You authorize us to charge your payment method on and from the date any fees and charges become due and payable by you under these Terms of Use.

Within 30 days of the Change Date you will then receive a pro-rata refund in respect of the pre-paid but unused portion of days of your previous account (calculated from the Change Date).
