5. Service Fees
5.1. Paid Services
The use of certain AbcSubmit Services may be subject to payment of particular fees, as determined by AbcSubmit in its sole discretion (“Paid Services” and “Fee(s)”, respectively). AbcSubmit will provide notice of such Fees then in effect in relation to such Paid Services. If you wish to receive or use such Paid Services, you are required to pay all applicable Fees in advance.
AbcSubmit reserves the right to change its Fees at any time, upon notice to you if such change may affect your existing subscriptions. If you received a discount or other promotional offer, AbcSubmit shall have the right to automatically and without notice renew your subscription to such AbcSubmit Service(s) at the full applicable Fee. All Fees shall be deemed to be in U.S. Dollars, except as specifically stated otherwise in writing by AbcSubmit. To the extent permitted by law (and unless specified otherwise by AbcSubmit in writing), all Fees are exclusive of all taxes (including value added tax, sales tax, goods and services tax, etc.), levies or duties imposed by taxing authorities (“Taxes”), and you shall be responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your use of the AbcSubmit Services, or to any payments or purchases made by you. If AbcSubmit is obligated to collect or pay Taxes for the Fees payable by you, and whether or not such Taxes were added and collected from you for previous transactions, such Taxes may be added to the payment of any outstanding Fees and will be reflected in the Invoice for such transaction. We recommend that you verify the existence of any additional fees you may be charged by third parties in connection with the purchase of Paid Services or in connection with the renewal thereof (such as international transaction fees, currency exchange fees or fees due to banks or credit card companies). AbcSubmit is not responsible for any such additional fees or costs. As part of registering or submitting information to receive Paid Services, you also authorize AbcSubmit (either directly or through its affiliates, subsidiaries or other third parties) to request and collect payment (or otherwise charge, refund or take any other billing actions) from our payment provider or your designated banking account, and to make any inquiries AbcSubmit or its affiliates may consider necessary to validate your designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment, including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from your payment, credit card or banking account provider (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by your credit card company). |
Some of our services cost money. We will let you know how much beforehand
Our prices are stated in U.S. Dollars and before taxes, unless otherwise said. If needed, we or our affiliates may request and collect payments and related information from the relevant payment providers and banks. |
5.2. Invoices
AbcSubmit and/or its affiliated companies will issue an invoice or credit memo for any payment of Fees or refund made to or by AbcSubmit (“Invoice”). Each Invoice will be issued in electronic form and based on the country stated in your billing address, and will be made available to you via your User Account and/or by e-mail. For the purpose of issuing the Invoice, you may be required to furnish certain Personal Information (as such term is defined in the Privacy Policy) in order to comply with local laws. Please note that the Invoice presented in your User Account may be inadequate with your local law requirements, and in such case may be used for pro forma purposes only. | Invoices for our paid services will be available in your user account. |
5.3. Subscription Auto-Renewals
In order to ensure that you do not experience any interruption or loss of services, certain Paid Services include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you turn-off the auto-renewal option, such Paid Services will automatically renew upon the end of the applicable subscription period, for a renewal period equal in time to the original subscription period (excluding extended periods).
For example, if the original subscription period for a Service is one month, each of its renewal periods (where applicable) will be for one month. Accordingly, where applicable, AbcSubmit will attempt to automatically charge you the applicable Fees using the payment method you have on file with AbcSubmit, within two (2) weeks before such renewal period commences. In the event of failure to collect the Fees owed by you, we may in our sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) retry to collect on a later time, and/or suspend or cancel your User Account, without further notice. If your Paid Service is subject to a yearly or multiple-year subscription period, AbcSubmit will endeavor to provide you a notice prior to the renewal of such Paid Service at least thirty (30) days in advance of the renewal date. You may turn-off the auto-renewal option or cancel your Paid Services at any time via your User Account by migrating to a Free paid plan. Certain domains are subject to a different renewal policy as detailed in the Domains Registration Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, you are and shall be solely responsible to verify and ensure the successful renewal of the AbcSubmit Services you use (whether or not such AbcSubmit Services are subject to automatic subscription renewals). Accordingly, you shall be solely responsible with respect to any discontinuation of any AbcSubmit Services previously purchased by you, including due to a cancellation, failure to charge the applicable recurring Fees, or due to any AbcSubmit Services not being subject to automatic subscription renewals. You acknowledge and agree that you shall not have any claims against AbcSubmit in relation to the discontinuation of any AbcSubmit Services or Third Party Services, for whatever reason. |
To make sure you don’t lose your domain or experience interruptions with your website at the end of your subscription period, we’ll automatically renew it.
Some services whether on purpose or mistake may not automatically renew. You should make sure that your subscriptions are renewed in time. |
5.4. Money-Back Guarantee
If you are not satisfied with AbcSubmit Services that are subject to a Fee for a period of service or subscription commitment and which is your initial purchase of such service, you may provide notice of cancellation for any reason within thirty (30) days of having first ordered or activated such AbcSubmit Services (the “Refund” and “Refund Period”). The Refund is applicable only to the initial purchase of AbcSubmit services which is an upgrading of a free website by purchasing a Premium Plan (as offered on the AbcSubmit Website). The Refund is not applicable to any additional purchases, upgrades, modification or renewals of AbcSubmit Services. If you reside in a jurisdiction which requires a longer Refund Period, we will of course be happy to accommodate such requirements in accordance with all applicable laws. If AbcSubmit receives such notice within such Refund Period, AbcSubmit will refund to you the amount AbcSubmit charged you for such AbcSubmit Services, in currency you were originally charged in, and cancel them accordingly. Please note that the Refund amount may be different than the amount you were charged due to currency changes and third party fees. AbcSubmit will not be responsible for any differences caused by change of currency exchange rates or fees you were charged by third parties. After the Refund Period, the Fees paid by you are non-refundable and non-cancellable. In addition, if we find that a notice of cancellation has been given in bad faith or in an illegitimate attempt to avoid payment for services actually received and enjoyed, we reserve our right to still charge the User who provided such notice for any AbcSubmit Services actually received, as permitted by law.
Please note: Certain services purchased on or through the AbcSubmit Services may be non-refundable. These include Third Party Services such as domains, business tools and applications. The terms of each purchased service or application are indicated on the AbcSubmit Website and/or as part of or during the process of purchasing such services or applications. It is your obligation to verify your ability to cancel a service prior to purchasing it. AbcSubmit will not refund any amounts paid for non-refundable Paid Services, applications or Third Party Services. |
We are happy to offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for our monthly or annual paid services when first purchased. This may be extended according to the law.
Please carefully check the terms of each service before buying, since some services are non-refundable. |
5.5. Chargebacks
If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any payable Fees on your AbcSubmit account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the AbcSubmit Services may be automatically disabled or terminated.
In the event a Chargeback is performed, your User Account may be blocked without the option to re-purchase or re-use it, and any data contained in such User Account, including any domains, applications and Third Party Services may be subject to cancellation and Capacity Loss (as defined in Section 6.3 below).

If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to AbcSubmit, we encourage you to first contact our Customer Support team before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the AbcSubmit Services from being cancelled and your User Account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable Fees, in addition to re-payment of all the Fees applicable to the AbcSubmit Services purchased (and charged-back) by you. We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and make use of the services rendered thereafter. |
Chargebacks may bring us to cancel your account, so we urge you to avoid causing them.
Please contact our Customer Support team before filing a chargeback. You will be responsible for any incorrect fees, losses and expenses that follow. |
