Subscription & Billing Terms

BuildTags is free to start. BuildTags Pro is a paid plan with higher limits and extra features. Pro is billed monthly or yearly, at the price shown on the pricing page and on the upgrade button when you subscribe. Today that is $9 a month or $90 a year.

The price you pay is the price shown at checkout. We do not start a Pro checkout if the price on our site and the price we would charge do not match. Promotion codes are accepted at checkout when you have one.

Where we are required to collect sales tax on a subscription, Stripe calculates it at checkout and it is shown before you pay.

Subscriptions are paid on Stripe's hosted checkout page. BuildTags never receives or stores your full card number. We keep references to your Stripe customer and subscription so we can match payments to your plan. See our Privacy Policy.

Pro renews automatically at the end of each billing period (every month or every year, whichever you chose) and your payment method is charged again until you cancel. The checkout and your profile page say this before and after you subscribe, and your profile shows the date of the next renewal.

You can cancel at any time. Open your profile page, choose Manage billing, and cancel in the Stripe billing portal that opens. You do not need to contact us to cancel.

Cancelling stops future renewals. Pro stays active until the end of the period you already paid for, and then your account returns to the Free plan and its limits.

The billing portal is run by Stripe, and the options it shows are set in our Stripe account. Cancelling and updating your payment method are what we rely on it for. It may offer other options, such as switching between monthly and yearly, but we do not promise any particular option. Charges for a period already started are not refunded unless required by law or described in the Refund & Replacement Policy.

If a renewal payment fails, your profile shows that the payment failed and asks you to update your card. Stripe may retry the payment according to its settings, and Pro stays on while the payment is past due. If the payment cannot be collected and Stripe ends the subscription, your account returns to the Free plan.

Except where applicable law requires otherwise, we do not refund a partial billing period after you cancel, because the plan stays active until the end of it. If you were charged in error (for example twice, or after a cancellation that took effect before the renewal), contact customersupport@buildtags.app and we will look into it and fix it. See the Refund & Replacement Policy.

If we change the price of your plan, we will tell you in advance and the new price applies from your next renewal. You can cancel before then. We may change what a plan includes. If we end a paid feature you are paying for, we will handle it fairly and as the law and these terms require, for example with notice and a refund of prepaid fees for the unused period where appropriate.

If you think a charge is wrong, please contact us first so we can fix it quickly. If a payment is disputed with your bank, we may pause the related plan or account while the dispute is open.

These terms cover subscriptions only. Orders for physical BuildTags are one-time payments covered by the Refund & Replacement Policy and the Shipping policy. These billing terms are part of our Terms of Service. Nothing here limits rights you have under law that cannot be waived.
