Fees and Payments
The Services are available under subscription plans on monthly durations. Payments for subscription plans can be made only by Bank Card, PayPal or Wire Transfer. Your subscription will be automatically renewed at the end of each subscription period unless you downgrade your paid subscription plan to a free plan or inform us that you do not wish to renew the subscription. At the time of automatic renewal, the subscription fee will be charged to the Bank Card last used by you. We provide you the option of changing the details if you would like the payment for the renewal to be made through a different Bank Card. If you do not wish to renew the subscription, you must inform us at least seven days prior to the renewal date. If you have not downgraded to a free plan and if you have not informed us that you do not wish to renew the subscription, you will be presumed to have authorized Loccate to charge the subscription fee to the Bank Card last used by you.
The Service fees are charged per tracking device. If you have more than one device in your account, your total monthly fee will increase accordingly. The billing system charges your account daily by 1/N of the monthly fee per device, where N is the number of days in the current month (28, 29, 30 or 31). You have to get keep your balance positive, otherwise the Service will be suspended and all data that is received within that period will be lost. When your subscription starts not from the first day of the month, you will be billed from the actual date of your first using of the Services.
If you have more than one device in your account on different plans, some limitations of the lower plans may affect devices on the higher plans. For example, the number of available maps will be set to the minimum of all plans you use. To avoid this sort of limitations we recommend to use multiple accounts and not mix devices on different plans within the same account.
From time to time, we may change the price of any Service. Any increase in charges will not apply until the expiry of your then current billing cycle.

- Following months. If at anytime during your using our service beyond your first month, we will gladly offer you a refund of the REMAINING AMOUNT on your account balance.
- Auto-Renewals. For your convenience, your monthly subscriptions may auto-renew until you cancel the service.

Similarly, after each renewal we will send you a receipt via e-mail specifying the amount that has been deducted together with the next renewal date and the next renewal amount.
