SAVVIgrow Billing Policies & Fees

General

Use of SAVVIgrow products and services (including but not limited to SAVVIgrow) constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to comply with SAVVIgrow's billing policy.

All accounts are set up on a prepaid basis. Payment must be received by SAVVIgrow before any billable product or service is provided/activated. In the event of a trial period, payment information must be on file before your account is created. You are required to keep a valid credit/debit card on file to charge for recurring monthly subscription and overage fees. All recurring subscriptions are automatically invoiced and charged to the credit/debit card on file.

Trial subscriptions are limited to one trial per person, per product. The purchase and subsequent cancellation of multiple trials may result in permanent closure of the account.

If it is determined that any user fails to pay the agreed upon monthly or annual payments by exploitation of any self billing feature, all associated accounts may be terminated immediately, without warning, and the user will be billed for all unpaid usage.

Subscription billing is based on the availability of products and services within the parameters defined by their packages. Certain fees may be usage-based (e.g. in SAVVIgrow for e-mail, texts, phonecalls, hosting/bandwidth, domain names overages, courses, training, events, etc.).

Payment receipts are provided electronically with each purchase, and may also be provided upon customer request.

Billing Cycle

Credit/Debit Card Billing: All credit/debit cards are automatically charged on the customer's specific billing cycle date.

• Payment failure: In the event a credit/debit card fails to charge successfully, access to the product will immediately cease.

• Deactivation: SAVVIgrow reserves the right to remove customer application data from its servers after nonpayment.

• Cancellation of a subscription immediately closes access to the account. If there is time remaining on a subscription year, please contact support to re-instate access.

Fees

• Collections Fee: In the event an account is submitted to a third-party collections service, a $35.00 processing fee may be assessed to the existing account balance. This fee is in addition to any other fees previously assessed on the account.

• Chargebacks: If a customer initiates a chargeback, SAVVIgrow may assess a $50.00 processing fee for each individual chargeback.

• Interest: Any charges not paid when due are subject to interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (i) one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month; or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable law.

Payment Methods

SAVVIgrow accepts payments from most major credit cards, and in some cases, PayPal.

Subscription Billing

Invoices are generated and payments are collected at the beginning of each billing period. Customer billing periods typically begin on the day of the month (or year for yearly plans) in which the customer purchased the SAVVIgrow subscription. Customers must request to cancel their subscriptions at least 10 days prior to their next billing date in order to avoid being charged on the billing date. SAVVIgrow will not prorate any portion of unused subscription services. All subscription fees are nonrefundable except as described below.

Account Limits

Every SAVVIgrow package or plan comes with a set amount of email, text, and telephony credits. You are responsible for the cost/charge of any use above that and will be billed automatically for that usage.

Email/Text/Telephony consumption limits: amount of system resources you may consume, without extra charge, through a standard monthly billing cycle.

Read below under the "Overage Billing" section for details on the overage fees.

Standard account includes $10 monthly credit, which gives any combination of approximately:

• 5000 emails

• 390 inbound calls*

• 240 outbound calls*

• 420 text segments**

*Based on USA rates, additional carrier fees may apply

**Text segments are 160 characters. There are no partial segments. Emojis, pictures and attachments vary in character size/cost.

Overage Billing

SAVVIgrow has established monthly usage allotments and additional usage fees for certain features of the Software, based on factors including usage, demands, and third party charges. At present, email, text, and telephony (calls) are the only features for which monthly allotments have been established and additional usage fees apply. Note that any SAVVIgrow refund policies that exist DO NOT APPLY to usage fees.

These fees are indicated here below. The fees and limitations will be updated from time to time. Your continued use of the Software is your agreement to the current rates. SAVVIgrow strives to keep the fees fair for all who require additional usage:

• Email: As a User of the SAVVIgrow Software, you can send a specific number of emails per month depending on the package purchased without additional fees. For each additional 1 thousand emails, you will incur a charge of US $2.10. Any new or imported contact email addresses are verified for authenticity upon first attempted outbound email, and again every 90 days, at the rate of $0.003 per verification.

•Phone Numbers/A2P Registration: Local US phone numbers are obtained and registered to your business at the rate of $3.45/month. Toll-free numbers are also available at the rate of $6.90/month. Pricing for international numbers varies widely. If sending SMS to US persons, businesses must register their Application To Person (A2P) campaign with the carriers for a one-time fee of approximately $20 (varies based on use case) and a recurring monthly fee of approximately $3-12/month.

• Text/Calls: Phone/SMS services are billed at the rate of $0.042/min outbound calls, $0.0255/min inbound calls, $0.0237 text messages. $10.00 gives approximately 240 outbound call minutes OR 390 inbound call minutes OR 420 text segments. A text segment is 160 characters or less sent in one SMS text. There are no partial segments. Emojis, pictures and attachments vary in character size/cost. Outbound SMS from the US to Canada will be billed at $0.0237 per segment. All rates are based on US calls from a US number. Additional carrier fees may apply. International call rates may be different and vary.

• Once you have used your monthly credits, you will be billed in increments of $10.00 (or more) to establish a new credit for calls and SMS texts. If you go over your allocated amount for any of the above services (Email, Calls, SMS), the corresponding overage fee will be charged to your account. You can review and monitor for overages in your billing profile. Your account will continue working without any change provided overages are paid when due.

• Note that the minimum dollar amount SAVVIgrow can charge a credit card for is US$ 1.00. Therefore, if your overage charges for any given 30-day period is between US$ 0.01 and US$ 0.99, SAVVIgrow will default the charge to US$ 1.00.

Standard and Premium packages

​SAVVIgrow has established packages that contain exclusive features for that level. A subscriber will only have access to the features available in their package level.

Normal, Reasonable Business Use

SAVVIgrow offers unlimited features within normal and reasonable business use limits. The unlimited features are plan specific. Normal and reasonable use of unlimited plans must be consistent with the type and level of usage per typical customers in the particular plan.

Excessive Use Of Unlimited

Businesses engaging in these practices may cause a degradation in the service SAVVIgrow provides. Unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by business customers may lead to account throttling, suspension, or termination. Unlimited is not to be shared with any other independent or separate account, individual or user by any means. For this reason, SAVVIgrow may consider “excessive” and per its sole discretion including, but not limited to:

•Unreasonable number of requests to our servers

•Volume of page views

•Volume of video views

•Video streaming bandwidth consumed

•Number of Videos uploaded per day, week, month...

•Number of emails sent per day, week, month...

•In addition, plans with unlimited access to features cannot, under any circumstances, be used for providing a video service, email service, or other high volume or multi-person video or email purposes.

SAVVIgrow further reserves the right to withdraw or change any unlimited feature at any time. If SAVVIgrow makes any change(s) to an unlimited feature, you will receive a notification describing the change(s) to the relevant unlimited feature and the date such changes take effect.

Package Upgrade/Downgrade

SAVVIgrow subscriptions are purchased on a fixed-term basis: monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you registered for.

When an account is upgraded to a higher tier, the system will run a one-off pro-rated charge for the remaining days of the current billing period. From there after, the standard fees for your newly upgraded package will become effective. Overages are charged based on the package subscription active at the time of them being incurred.

Account downgrades require communication with SAVVIgrow's support portal (in bottom right corner of the application) to ensure your account assets are reduced below package requirements. They will also go into effect the following billing cycle. Downgrading an account will also result in the loss of package features such as Calendars, Memberships, or other package benefits. It is up to the subscribing member to ensure that they have removed any data that might be lost due to a downgrade.

Refund Policies

SAVVIgrow's has a strict NO REFUND policy. Access to the software constitutes access to proprietary information, training, resources, and materials that can be downloaded and used by the subscriber. Therefore REFUNDS are not granted for any reason. If you have problems with the software, please communicate with our excellent support staff available in our support system, live chat, zoom support, office hours calls, and email at support@savvigrow.com

SAVVIgrow may either refuse a refund request or disallow repurchase of a previously refunded product if we find any evidence suggesting fraud, refund abuse, trial abuse, or other manipulative behavior that allows use of the product without payment.

Cancellation Process

Creating a Cancellation request: A request to cancel a SAVVIgrow application must be initiated at least 10 days prior to the next invoice date. Any request to cancel a SAVVIgrow application must be made via email to billing@savvigrow.com or via our customer support portal (support widget inside application) with a SAVVIgrow representative. Customers are encouraged to keep records of all communications regarding cancellation. Until a cancellation request is made SAVVIgrow will continue to treat it as an open account. Unless cancelled, the billing cycle will continue, possibly resulting in a past due account that may be turned over to a third party collection service. It is imperative that you chat with a SAVVIgrow representative or email billing@savvigrow.com if you wish to initiate cancellation of your SAVVIgrow account.

Cancellation of an account does not dismiss outstanding invoices or nullify previously agreed charges. At the time of cancellation, any outstanding balance must be settled. All cancelled accounts with an outstanding balance may be turned over to a third-party collection service.

Billing Disputes

Each SAVVIgrow customer agrees to provide SAVVIgrow 30 days to attempt settlement of any billing dispute before disputing with any third-party credit/debit card company or bank. Should SAVVIgrow receive a chargeback from a third-party credit/debit card company or bank on the customer's behalf before SAVVIgrow has been given a chance to resolve the issue, SAVVIgrow has the right to charge the customer for its time spent in resolving such disputes and any associated fees incurred by SAVVIgrow, in addition to the $50 chargeback fee mentioned above. Regardless of the outcome of the chargeback, SAVVIgrow retains the right to collect on any Services or fees that are due. SAVVIgrow may submit any disputed amounts to a collection agency. Once a chargeback has been received, SAVVIgrow has the right to suspend the account until the matter is resolved.

Applicable Taxes

The Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). Customer agrees to pay applicable direct or indirect Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder, which, to the extent SAVVIgrow is legally required to collect the same, will be itemized on the product invoice. If Customer has an obligation to withhold any amounts under any law or tax regime (other than U.S. income tax law), Customer will gross up the payments so that SAVVIgrow receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If SAVVIgrow has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount will be invoiced and paid by the Customer, unless, prior to the invoice date, the Customer provides SAVVIgrow with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
