8. Subscriptions and Billing

After your free trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan at the then-current rate. Currently available plans:

  • Pro Monthly: $9.99/month (billed monthly)
  • Pro Yearly: $79.99/year (billed annually, equivalent to $6.67/month)

8.3 Auto-Renewal

8.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Stripe Customer Portal, accessible from your ShelfCents Settings page under "Billing." Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to Pro features until the end of the paid period. No partial refunds are provided for unused portions of a billing period.

8.5 Refund Policy

Due to the digital nature of our service, all subscription payments are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. If you cancel during a free trial, you will not be charged. If you believe you were charged in error, contact Shelfcents@gmail.com within 30 days of the charge.

8.6 Price Changes

ShelfCents reserves the right to modify subscription prices with at least 30 days' prior notice. Price changes will take effect at your next renewal date. Continued use of the service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.
