Questions about billing
No, all prices exclude VAT. If you buy for a business, tick "I'm purchasing as a business" at checkout and enter your VAT ID: businesses in other EU countries then pay no VAT (reverse charge), and German businesses pay 19%. If you buy as a private person, VAT is added on top at the rate for your address. Checkout shows the exact total before you pay.
Payments are handled by Stripe, which supports major cards and regional payment methods. An invoice is generated automatically for every purchase.
You can pay in euros (EUR), US dollars (USD) or British pounds (GBP). We pick one based on where you are; change it any time with the currency menu at the top or bottom of the page. You pay exactly the price shown, in that currency.
Yes. EU consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal, with some exceptions once a service has started or a digital license has been delivered. Support sessions are fully refundable if cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. See the full refund and cancellation terms for details, or email info@plainpad.org.
Managed Hosting renews annually. You can cancel at any time by emailing info@plainpad.org before your next renewal date. Cancelling stops future charges; your instance stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for.
