SECTION 8: FEES
- The Fees are displayed in the https://finom.co/en-nl/pricing/pricing-compare/ or via other durable medium or link depending on the country where User’s business is registered as stated in the "Pricing".
-
The Fees are composed of the following parts:
- charged by the Service Provider on its behalf (for all the Services except for FINOM PAYMENTS Services), and
- collected on behalf of FINOM PAYMENTS for all the FINOM PAYMENTS Services. The Service Provider collects the Fees from the User on behalf of FINOM PAYMENTS and transfers the collected Fees to FINOM PAYMENTS on behalf of the User. These Fees may be displayed under name “Provided by the Finom Payments” and/or other names/sections at the FINOM Platform.
- The User expressly authorises the Service Provider to collect all the Fees owed by the User under the FINOM PAYMENTS Services Agreement by debiting the User’s Payment Account and to transfer them to FINOM PAYMENTS on the User’s behalf.
- Upon its sole discretion, the Service Provider may offer the User free test access to some or all the Services. If the User wishes to continue receiving the Services after the end of the test period, a chargeable Fee is required as indicated in "Pricing" at the Service Provider’s website of the relevant country where from the User subscribes for the Services.
- Upon its sole discretion, the Service Provider may offer the User from time to time a special kind of a promotional Fee "Lifetime/Limited time Free" or “.... months Free”. These names are provided hereto as an example and subject to change upon the Service Provider’s sole discretion any time. Such or similar Lifetime/Limited time Free may be offered at the rate "ZERO" or at the fixed rate guaranteed to not ever increase to those Users who will subscribe to certain Subscriptions participating in the promotions run by the Service Provider at a certain time. The Lifetime/Limited time Free will remain fixed at the rate which is in effect at the moment when a particular User subscribes to an eligible promoted Subscription. The Lifetime/Limited time Free might be offered at the adjusted rate for other Users in separate promotions run by the Service Provider. The User loses an entitlement to the Lifetime/Limited time Free if an eligible for promotion Subscription is terminated by either Party.
- Payment for the Subscription is made monthly or annually, depending on the Subscription chosen by the User, by credit card (Visa, Mastercard), by (SEPA) direct debit or any other payment methods (bank transfer, Klarna, Sofort, IDeal, PayPal, etc) subject to availability in the applicable territory. The billing period runs for one month or one year in advance, from the date on which User successfully registers for the Subscription. The Service Provider reserves the right to offer the User a possibility to enter into Subscriptions for different periods (e.g. quarterly).
- The Service Provider reserves the right to offer the User an option to purchase a "Top-Up" of the Fees which will allow the User a flexibility to purchase additional Services in the Subscription period. The "Top-Up" will not change the Subscription but add temporary additional pre-paid amount of certain Services chosen by the User. Unless otherwise determined by the Service Provider, after the use of the additional "topped-up" Services the Subscription continues with the same limits and amounts unless "topped-up" again by the User. The payment methods of the "Top-Up" are the same as for the Fees. The "Top-Up" rates are subject to change any time by a sole discretion of the Service Provider and no special notification to the User or observance of a notice period will be required.
- All the Fees, "Top-Up" and all the charges in connection with the Services shall become due immediately upon receipt of the invoice by the User and will be deducted or withdrawn from the credit card or bank account (in the countries where this is available) on a monthly or annual basis, until the termination of the Subscription.
- Service Provider reserves the right to change the billing entity to a different subsidiary as may be required in the country where it operates.
- No refund of the Fees will be paid in case of premature termination of the Subscription by the User, unless such termination is caused by the Service Provider’s unilateral change of FEES or Subscriptions to the detriment of the User (worthening of conditions), in such case the Fees will be refunded as stated in this Section.
- In case of termination of the Subscription by initiative of the Service Provider the Fees will be refunded to the User pro-rata to number of days Subscription remained in force in the applicable billing period when termination occurred.
- If the monthly or annual Fees cannot be debited from the credit card or the bank account, the User’s access to the Services will be immediately blocked. Upon receipt of payment, access to the system will be released. The Service Provider is entitled to charge the User with € 25 per each rejected charge. The User must then either transfer the total amount to the bank account provided by the Service Provider within 4 working days or to authorise the Service Provider to withdraw it or deduct from the credit card or the bank account of the User (in the countries where this is available).
-
In case of the User’s failure to pay an annual Fee, the Service Provider at its sole discretion and at the extra cost to the User, may:
- cancel Subscription with an immediate effect for non-payment, or
- offer a switch from annual Subscription Fee to a monthly Subscription Fee, subject to availability of the plan.
- The FEES, including the Fair Use Policy and any or all of its components, the Fees, rates/prices, "Price Conditions", "Lifetime/Limited Time Free", "top-up" rates, names and description of the Subscription types, and all the charges in connection with the Services including the FINOM PAYMENTS Services are subject to change and will be communicated to the User as stated in Section 10 “AMENDMENTS”.

- The Service Provider may amend from time to time the Promos, the Rewards, the Rewards Rules and all the provisions of these Terms regulating the Rewards and/or Promos without any prior notice to the User. These Terms and any alterations shall be considered accepted if the User continues participating in the Rewards or Promos.
- The Rewards automatically stop upon the termination of the contract by either Party. For example, but not limited to, when the Services are terminated or when the User deregisters and closes the User’s Account.

If the User does not wish to accept such new worthening of the FEES and/or components of the Fair Use Policy it must terminate the Subscription within 15 days from a day of notification. Unless a detrimental for the User change is dictated by compliance or regulatory reason the Fees will be refunded to the User pro-rata to number of days Subscription remained in force in the applicable billing period regardless whether the termination occurred by initiative of the Service Provider or of the User.

The amendment is not guaranteed and subject to technical, legal and pricing possibilities determined by the sole discretion of the Service Provider.

If the User switches from an annual Subscription to a monthly Subscription, this is possible until the last day of the Subscription year and with effect from the first day of the next Subscription year, if there is an option for a monthly Subscription. The Subscription will then continue to run automatically on a monthly basis. A similar mechanism will be valid if the Service Provider introduces a different billing period.
