FEES

• The Services are available under different pricing plans, available at https://pango.education/pricing. Ripple reserves the right to change and introduce new fees in the future, as well as change the pricing plans. Ripple will notify Customer if it intends to increase prices and will provide Customer with an opportunity to change pricing plan.
• The “Free” plan costs £0. All other pricing plans are collectively referred to as “Paid” plans. All Paid plans are subject to these Terms and Conditions and in addition the following conditions apply:
• Ripple makes available the Paid Services by way of a subscription to Customer upon payment of a fee as specified from at https://pango.education/pricing.
• Customer agrees that a breach of any of the general Terms and Conditions or Acceptable Use Policy will lead to access to the Paid Services being immediately suspended. It is at Ripple’s absolute discretion as to whether Customer’s account will be reinstated.
• When Customer subscribes to a Paid plan, the Paid Services will be available immediately.
• Where the Customer subscribes on a monthly basis, the charge will be the fee stated at the time of purchase plus any applicable taxes, such as VAT, if not already included in the stated fee every month until the Customer or Ripple cancels it. Ripple will provide the Customer with valid VAT receipts for any purchases where applicable.
• Where Customer subscribes on an annual basis (“paid annually”) the charge will be the fee stated at the time of purchases plus any applicable taxes, such as VAT, if not already included in the stated fee. Ripple will provide the Customer with valid VAT receipts for any purchases where applicable. At the end of 12 months from date of purchase Customer’s annual subscription will automatically renew for a further year, unless Customer or Ripple has cancelled it before the end of the first annual subscription. The rate charged on automatic renewal may be the rate paid when originally subscribing or an updated rate, decided at Ripple’s sole discretion. If a subscription paid annually is renewed before the end of the current subscription period, the renewed subscription will be extended to include any remaining months on the previous subscription.
• Ripple may change the fee for the monthly subscriptions and annual subscriptions, and we will communicate this change to you either at renewal, or at the point the new fee is in use.
• For safety and security, credit/debit card details are not stored by Ripple nor shared with third parties. Payment transactions are processed via Stripe or other secure third-party payment providers. Customers are encouraged to read the terms and conditions for any financial transactions with these companies.
• Where Customer choses to pay by invoice, the Customer will pay each invoice in full within 28 days of the date of the invoice to the bank account details provided on the invoice.
• Where the Customer fails to make any payment due to Ripple under any invoice by the due date for payment, then the Customer shall pay interest at 5% per annum, accruing on a daily basis until the full payment (including interest owed) is received.
