Payment cycle : Monthly service charges and any other monthly charges incurred in connection with the use of the service (e.g. taxes, transaction fees, etc.) will be charged monthly to the payment method registered on the date corresponding to the start date of the paid service. Yearly prepaid contract memberships will charge one year's worth of services charges and other aforementioned charges in advance. Your billing date may change in some cases, such as when your registered payment method doesn't process properly or when your paid membership begins on a date that doesn't exist in a particular month. You can check your payment date on your My plan page.

Payment method : To use Typecast’s paid service, please go to My plan page and pay for your paid membership of choice. The member's payment method can be updated by using the information provided by the corresponding payment service provider. By updating the payment information, you are allowing the service to proceed invoicing with your updated information. If the payment is declined, the service will continue to bill through the registered payment method. The user is responsible for the unpaid amount. The service may be temporarily limited in cases of expired validation date, inefficient balance or any other reason that may cause error in payment. In some cases, depending on the payment method and company, there could be excessive fees such as foreign exchange fee or payment process fee depending on the user’s location and environment. Local tax will vary depending on the payment method. Please see the payment providers terms and policy for detailed information.

Usage fee and change in service : Pricing and contents may change, but all notifications will be sent to all users via email 30 days prior to the actual change date.

Users can unsubscribe Typecast service at any time. In such cancelation, the user can continue to use the service until the expiration date. To cancel the subscription, please go to My plan page and follow the instructions unsubscribing. When unsubscribed, the service from the paid membership will stop after the last day of the terminated membership.

All amounts can be refunded upon help center request messages to refund or cancel payment within 7 days of payment, but only if the user has not used the service after the payment. Refund is not acceptable after 7 days, in which case the service will continue its cycle until the end month period. It is also impossible to refund the amount if the user actually used the service after the payment.

Prematurely cancelling the yearly prepaid contract membership will result in a penalty charge with the amount that equals how much was discounted at the time of contract.

The user is allowed to change monthly subscription plans at any time. The subscription plan and cycle will be updated by its latest changed date. In cases when the user upgrades the plan, the use of downloadable time will be extended further to its next cycle. However, in cases of degrading the subscription plan, the cycle will be in effect starting from the next billing date. - Example) On September 10th, a user subscribed to an 1-hour download plan. On September 20th, the user used 30 minutes of download time (30 minutes left for download). On September 25th, the user upgraded the subscription plan to 4-hour download plan, which left the user with 4 hours and 30 minutes of download time until October 25th.

The user cannot downgrade the yearly prepaid contract membership while the membership is in effect. When upgrading the yearly prepaid contract membership, the remaining duration of the previous membership will be refunded, and the new higher yearly prepaid contract membership will be charged.

When a user uses up the download time for the user’s current paid membership, the user can purchase additional download time in intervals of 15 minutes. The additional purchased download time will be automatically removed if not completely used up by the upcoming membership renewal for the user (specifically, by the moment when the user’s current membership expires and when another cycle of the membership starts upon a new automatic payment).
