Billing & Refund Policy
Last updated: 27 Jan 2026
This policy explains how TimenBill subscriptions are billed, how plan changes work, and when refunds are available. It is part of our Terms of Service.
Definitions
- Billing Cycle means the monthly or annual period for which Fees are charged.
- Subscription Term means the period covered by a Billing Cycle.
- Active User means a user who can access the workspace and is counted for billing.
- Invited User means a user who has been invited to join a workspace but has not yet accepted.
- Add-ons means optional purchases such as storage packs.
- Usage Period means the timeframe in which usage is measured for billing.
Plans and pricing
- Pricing, plan features, and limits are shown on our marketing pages and in the Service.
- Plans may include base storage and per-seat allowances as described on the pricing page.
- Plan limits may apply to seats, storage, exports, integrations, or other features.
- We may update pricing as described in the Price changes section below.
Billing cycles and auto-renewal
- Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual cycle.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the end of the current cycle.
- You authorize us to charge the payment method on file for each renewal.
- Billing dates are based on the start date of the Subscription Term.
Seat counts and proration
- Billing is based on active users in your workspace roster (Invitation Status = Active and not inactive).
- Inviting a team member may require purchasing additional seats before the invite is sent.
- Adding seats may change your Fees immediately.
- Removing users does not reduce Fees for the current Billing Cycle; monthly plans lower seat counts on the next cycle, while annual plans keep seats reserved for the term so they can be reassigned.
- Upgrades, downgrades, and seat additions are prorated for the remaining term; seat removals follow the rules above.
- Prorated charges or credits are shown before you confirm changes in the Service.
- You are responsible for keeping your roster accurate.
Add-ons and storage
- Storage packs and other add-ons are billed according to the plan and billing cycle selected.
- Add-ons may renew with your subscription unless removed.
- Usage above plan limits may require an upgrade or additional add-ons.
- We may throttle or restrict usage that exceeds plan limits until billing is resolved.
Taxes and fees
- Prices are exclusive of taxes unless stated otherwise.
- You are responsible for applicable taxes, duties, and government charges.
- We may collect tax information such as VAT, GST, or ABN to apply correct tax treatment.
- Tax rates may change based on billing location or regulatory requirements.
- If you claim a tax exemption, you must provide valid documentation.
Payment processing
- Payments are processed by Stripe or other payment providers.
- We do not store full payment card details on our servers.
- You must maintain valid payment methods and authorization to charge them.

Refunds
