Payment Terms
- Subscription Billing
- Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, depending on your selected plan. All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated.
- Automatic Renewal
- Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.
- Price Changes
- We may change our pricing at any time. We will provide at least 30 days notice before any price increase takes effect for existing subscribers.
- Failed Payments
- If a payment fails, we will attempt to process it again. After multiple failed attempts, your account may be suspended until payment is resolved.
- Refunds
- We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for new subscriptions. After this period, fees are non-refundable. Contact support for refund requests.
- Self-Host Fee
- The Self-Hosted Edition is available on eligible plans for a one-time fee charged in addition to your recurring Subscription, which continues to be billed for as long as you hold the license. The one-time fee is covered by the 14-day money-back guarantee only if the License Key has not been activated.
- Taxes
- Fees do not include taxes. You are responsible for any applicable taxes based on your location.
- 07
Self-Hosted Edition License
This clause applies if you purchase the Self-Hosted Edition. It governs your use of the FluxBilling software on your own infrastructure.
- License Grant
- Subject to these Terms and payment of the applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and run one production instance of the FluxBilling software per License Key, on infrastructure you own or control, for the duration of your active Subscription.
- Not Perpetual
- The Self-Hosted Edition license is not a perpetual license. It remains valid only while your Subscription is active and in good standing. If your Subscription lapses, is cancelled, or is terminated, the license ends and the software will cease to function after a short grace period.
- License Validation
- The software periodically contacts our license servers to validate your License Key and report limited, aggregate usage telemetry (described in our Privacy Policy). Your instance requires outbound network connectivity for this purpose and tolerates only short offline periods. Blocking, tampering with, or circumventing validation or telemetry is a material breach of these Terms.
- Updates & Distribution
- While your Subscription is active, you receive access to software updates and container images via per-instance, time-limited credentials. These credentials, the installer, and the software images are licensed to you alone and may not be shared with, redistributed to, or made accessible to any third party.
- Restrictions
- You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the software; remove or disable any license enforcement or telemetry component; use one License Key for more than one production instance; or resell, rent, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize the software itself.
- Your Infrastructure
- You are solely responsible for the hosting environment, operating system, network security, backups, and all data stored on your self-hosted instance — including your end customers’ personal data. We have no access to, and no responsibility for, data stored on Self-Hosted Edition instances.
- 09
Intellectual Property
- Our Rights
- FluxBilling and its associated trademarks, logos, and content are owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not use our branding without written permission.
- Software Ownership
- The FluxBilling software, including its source code, object code, container images, documentation, and all updates, is and remains our exclusive property. No ownership rights are transferred to you under any plan or edition. You receive only the limited license rights expressly granted in these Terms; all other rights are reserved. Any reproduction, distribution, public availability, or creation of derivative works without our written permission is an infringement of our intellectual property rights.
- Your Content
- You retain ownership of Content you upload to the Service. By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your Content as necessary to provide the Service.
- Feedback
- If you provide feedback or suggestions about the Service, you grant us the right to use such feedback without compensation or obligation to you.
- 10
Limitation of Liability
- Disclaimer
- THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.
- Liability Cap
- TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
- Exclusions
- WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.
- No Cap on Your Breach
- Nothing in this clause limits YOUR liability to us for infringement of our intellectual property rights, unauthorized use or distribution of the software, breach of the license restrictions in clauses 05, 07, and 08, or your indemnification obligations.
- 11
Termination
- By You
- You may cancel your subscription and close your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.
- By Us
- We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, fail to pay fees, or engage in conduct that harms other users or the Service. Accounts involved in unauthorized use or distribution of the software (clause 08) may be terminated immediately and without refund.
- Effect — Hosted Edition
- Upon termination, your right to access the Service ends immediately. You will have 30 days to export your data before it is permanently deleted. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect.
- Effect — Self-Hosted Edition
- Upon termination or lapse of your Subscription, License Key validation ceases and the software stops functioning after the grace period. All data on your self-hosted instance remains on your infrastructure and under your control — we never hold it and cannot delete it. You may export it at any time, before or after termination.
- 12
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in courts of competent jurisdiction.
