Understanding Your Billing Cycle: A Comprehensive Guide
At BrandLife, understanding your billing cycle is essential for managing your subscription effectively. This guide will provide you with a detailed overview of how billing cycles work, what to expect during each billing period, and how to keep track of your payments.
What is a Billing Cycle?
A billing cycle is the period during which your subscription is active and for which you are billed. Depending on your selected plan, this cycle may be monthly, quarterly, or annually. Understanding your billing cycle helps you anticipate payment dates and manage your account effectively.
Key Components of Your Billing Cycle
14-Day Free Trial: If you are a new user, you are eligible for a 14-day free trial. During this period, you can explore all features without being charged. At the end of the trial, your subscription will automatically convert o a paid plan unless you cancel before the trial ends.
Start Date: The date on which your billing cycle officially begins.
Billing Period: The duration of time for which you are billed (e.g., 30 days for a monthly plan).
Renewal Date: The date on which your subscription automatically renews unless you cancel it beforehand.
Payment Due Date: The date by which payment must be received to avoid interruptions in service.
