Payment conditions

Once your paid subscription to the API has started, our system will withdraw the monthly fee from your AppBrain balance. When the plan is up for renewal, our system will try to charge your account three days before your subscription expires. If the charge fails, we’ll send you a warning email and keep trying to charge the fee again on the following days. If we cannot collect the fee before your subscription expires, then your access to the API will be restricted to the 500 free credits and another warning email will be sent.

We’ll continue to try charging the fee for another 7 days. Your subscription will renew for the next month on the day that one of our charges succeeds.

You may upgrade your subscription to get more API credits at any time. We’ll withdraw the new higher fee on the day that you indicate you want to upgrade. As soon as the fee is withdrawn, your subscription gets upgraded. If your current subscription has not expired by the time you upgrade, then we’ll refund you for the time that is unused.

You can also downgrade your subscription. In that case, your current subscription stays in effect until its expiration date, and three days before that we’ll withdraw the new lower fee from your balance.
