This page is a Q&A for the price change for users of the “Old Business Plan”.

 

Price for contract renewal after April 1, 2020

 

For those whose contract renewal date comes after April 1, 2020 will be automatically charged the new business plan price.
The number of contracts(licenses) at the time of the change will be the same as the number of contracts (maximum number of users) of the old business plan.

 

For Example: First of the month auto-renewal, Business 10 with 8 users.

[March 01, 2020 auto-renewal]
Old Business Plan renewal.
Contracted Plan: Business 10(Monthly)
Price: $20

[April 01 2020 auto-renewal]
The new business plan will take affect.
Contracted Plan:Business (Monthly) 10 licenses
Price: $6 x 10 licenses = $60

* The renewal date will be different for each user.
* The contract renewal date can only be seen by the administrator of the organization from "Service plan" page. (The user administrator cannot see it.)

 

Adding users to the Old Business Plan

 

There is no additional charge for adding users within the user limit before the changing to the new business plan.
If you want to add more users than the maximum, you need to change to a new billing plan before April 1, 2020.

 

For Example: First of the month auto-renewal, Business 10 with 9 users.

[March 15, 2020 Adding 1 user]
The total of 10 users is not over the maximum so no additional charges are added.

[March 15, 2020 Adding 2 users]
The total of 11 users is over the maximum so a plan change is necessary.
The extra license will be charged at the new price for the rest of that month,March 15, 2020 - March 31, 2020 (17 days)

Contracted Plan: Business plan 11 licenses
Added charge: ($6 × 17 days ÷ 31 days) × 1license = $3.29
Renewal Price: $6 × 11 licenses = $66
