Charges and Billing

You agree that VPSimple shall be permitted to charge your credit card with the auto-renewing process. You can choose the time plan when you buy a VPS and after that the system will try to renew your services every time they expire.
You can change the type of your plan at any time by following the instructions in the Management Portal.
You may start/stop services like Firewall, Monitoring, etc. at any time. After first usage, you will pay for the service until the end of your contract duration. Your chosen services will remain associated to the VPS till the next renewal. You can cease services by stopping them and maintaining this status before the next auto-renewing process.
The auto-renewing process runs every time a VPS expires based on its time plan (daily, weekly, monthly or yearly). It will charge your credit card with the cost of your VPS and all the services that are ON before the expiration time. You can block the auto-renewing process at any time by switching it OFF in the Management Portal
All your services will be blocked if the system finds a VPS without the auto-renew ON or if it can't charge your credit card or you had deleted your credit card from the VPSimple system.
The system will notify you prior to blocking your services and you will receive additional time to change your preferences. Additional time you receive depends on your time plan, according to the following policy:

TIME PLAN ADDITIONAL TIME
Day 3 days
Week 7 days
Month 15 days
Year 60 days

If the VPS remains blocked after the additional time, it will be deleted. As a result you will loose all the data stored on it as well as your configurations and associated services.
VPSimple is not responsible for any additional bank fees, interest charges, finance charges, over draft charges, or other fees resulting from charges billed by VPSimple. Currency exchange settlements will be based on agreements between you and the provider of your credit card. In addition, we do not give pro-rated refunds for unused time if cancellation is initiated during the middle of a billing cycle. We reserve the right to change our fees, but will notify you in advance of increases.
