Subscription term: monthly and annual.
-
Employee count restrictions.

Subscription TermsÂ
During and after the trial period, the Customers may choose between the available Software versions and purchase a subscription plan either with a monthly or annual period.
​
All subscriptions are set to renew automatically and will be extended by an additional period of one month for monthly subscriptions or one year for annual subscriptions unless the Customer cancels (turns off) their subscription renewal from their raiseR account before the beginning of the extension period.
Monthly Subscriptions
The period for monthly subscriptions starts on the day of successfully completing the subscription purchase and ends with the expiry of one month.
​
The monthly subscription fee for fixed price per month subscription plans will be equal to the monthly fixed subscription fee defined for that plan for up to the maximum employee count set for that plan.
​
The monthly subscription fee for per employee/month price subscription plans, will be equal to:
-
For the first month, the amount is fixed, and will be the same for all Customers selecting the same plan. This is true for the first month only.
Monthly Subscription Fee = employee count representing the maximum number of: the Customer’s employee count at the time of subscription purchase and the minimum employee count set for the selected plan * per employee/month price.
​
-
For further months, the subscription fee will depend on the employee count of the Customer.
Monthly Subscription Fee = the Customer’s employee count as at the last day of the previous billing period (if it is less than the minimum employee count set on the plan, than the plan’s min employee count will be taken) * per employee/month price.
​
Last day of the previous billing period - For example, on June 1, upon subscription auto renewal, the Customer will be charged the new subscription fee based on May 31 employee count.
The payments for monthly subscription fees are due monthly in advance and will be charged on the due date at the beginning of the billing period to the payment method provided. For example, if the current subscription is for 16 April - 15 May period, the new subscription fee will be charged on 16 May for the period of 16 May -15 June, based on the Customer’s employee count of 15 May.
​
The subscription plans and calculations are available at https://raiser.global/pricing .
Annual Subscriptions
The period for annual subscriptions starts on the day of successfully completing the subscription purchase and ends with the expiry of one year.
​
If the Customer chooses a Software version with monthly fixed price per month, the annual subscription fee = monthly fixed subscription fee * 12 - the discount noted on the Website for annual subscription plans.
​
The subscription plans and calculations are available at https://raiser.global/pricing .
​
If the Customer chooses a Software version with per employee/annual price, the Customers will be charged an annual fee equal to:
​
-
After trial and trial end, when the Customer purchases their annual subscription for the first year, for employee count the system prefills the maximum number of: the Customer’s employee count at that time and the minimum employee count set for the selected plan (which may be further uncreased by the Customer) * per employee/month price * 12 - the discount noted on the Website for annual subscription plans.
Note: Customers may purchase the subscription with the above-mentioned employee count (the system’s prefilled count) or manually enter a higher employee count which they expect to have, but not less than the minimum employee count set for the selected plan.
​
The annual period consists of 12 billing cycles, every month in an active subscription period. For example, if the current subscription is for 14 Mar 20X3 - 13 Mar 20X4 period, next billing cycle date = 14 April, 14 May, 14 June and so on.
​
At each billing cycle date, the system will check the Customer’s employee count and in case of:
​
-
Increase compared to the employee count as at the previous billing period (month) - the differential price for the change in seats for the reminder of the current billing period will be calculated and charged to the Customer for the difference at each billing cycle date.
-
Decrease or the same compared to the employee count, as at the previous billing period (month) - the Customer will not be charged.
For example, if the Customer initially purchased annual subscription for 14 Mar 20X3 - 13 Mar 20X4 period with 25 employees, on next billing cycle date (14 April, 14 may, 14 June, etc.) if their employee count has become 30, the difference will be charged for the remaining subscription period.
Employee count is taken for annual subscriptions:
Billing cycle date - as of the billing cycle day.
Subscription auto-renewal date – the previous day employee count.
​
Change Subscription
Customers at any time may change their subscription plan to a new plan. When changing plans, Paddle will by default prorate the subscription costs according to the terms and conditions on the following website: https://developer.paddle.com/guides/9188b1d70bdec-upgrade-and-downgrade-subscriptions .
​
There are some restrictions concerning between which plans the change is allowed.
(a) Subscribers on non-quantity plans can move to quantity plans but not the inverse, specifically:
(b) Plan upgrade and downgrade:
Customers are not allowed to switch their yearly plan to monthly plan.
​
*Plan Upgrade means:
​
-
When the Customer switches their current plan to a plan that is expensive, without changing their period.
-
When the Customer switches his current active subscription from monthly to yearly, plan change is not relevant (no matter on what plan they are currently at and what they choose as a new plan).
**Plan Downgrade means:
​
-
When the Customer switches their current plan to a plan that is cheaper, without changing their period.
-
When the Customer switches their current active subscription from yearly to monthly, plan change is not relevant (no matter on what plan they are currently at and what they choose as a new plan).
*** Period End Date means – subscription expiration/end date, for monthly subscription month end, for yearly subscription, year-end.
​
****Next Billing Cycle end – for annual subscriptions only, each month in an annual subscription.
All plan upgrades are allowed immediately and will be charged immediately. However, if the upgrade results in a higher cost for the customer (such as moving to a more expensive plan), payment will be required. Paddle will automatically attempt a payment of the amount that is owed.
​
When downgrading the plan, the change will happen as follows:
​
-
Monthly subscription: a subscription change request will be created, and the new plan will be activated from the next month (given that subscription’s auto-renewal is ON).
-
Annual Subscription: a subscription change request will be created, and the new plan will be activated from the next billing cycle start date (given that subscription’s auto-renewal is ON).
Billing Dates changesÂ
​If the two plans a subscription is moved between have the same billing frequency (e.g., both are monthly), the Customer will retain the same billing dates. If the plans do not have the same billing frequency (e.g., a customer is moving from monthly to yearly billing), the plan will be billed at a new interval immediately, starting on the date of the change.
Fee ChargesÂ
When a customer purchases a product via Paddle, the country from which they are making the purchase may charge VAT. All specifications regarding VAT fees are visible on the page: https://www.paddle.com/help/sell/tax/which-countries-does-paddle-charge-sales-tax-or-vat-for.
