How payment works

From quote to renewal

  1. Step 1

    Plan and scope confirmed in writing

    You pick a plan or ask for a mixed package. Before anything is charged, we put the deliverables, timeline, and exact price in writing so both sides are working from the same document.

  2. Step 2

    Payment link or invoice issued

    We send a payment link or invoice for the agreed amount. For subscriptions, the recurring schedule is set up at the same time, on the date the first payment clears.

  3. Step 3

    Resources allocated immediately

    Servers, API licences, and third-party accounts are provisioned as soon as payment clears. That upfront allocation is the reason an already-charged period cannot be refunded.

  4. Step 4

    Renewal, or cancellation

    Monthly plans renew on the same date each month and yearly plans renew annually, until you cancel. Cancelling switches off auto-renewal straight away and takes effect from the next cycle.

Questions

Billing, answered in detail

Payments and currency

Which currency will I be billed in?

Every price on this site is in US dollars (USD) and is billed by Bolton Vance LLC, a Delaware-registered company. If your card is denominated in another currency, your bank applies its own conversion rate and may add a foreign transaction fee. Those bank charges are set by your issuer, not by us.

How do I pay?

Card payments are processed by Stripe. You will receive a secure payment link or invoice for the agreed amount. If your business needs a different payment arrangement, write to billing@boltonvance.com before the first invoice is issued so we can confirm what is workable.

Do you store my card details?

No. Card data is entered directly into our payment processor's secure form. Bolton Vance LLC never sees or stores your full card number, CVV, or PIN. We only receive confirmation that a charge succeeded, along with the last four digits and card brand for reconciliation.

The charge on my statement looks unfamiliar. What is it?

Charges appear under the billing descriptor configured on our payment gateway account, which may read differently from the trading name you are used to seeing. If a charge is unclear, email billing@boltonvance.com with the date and amount and we will identify it for you the same working day. Please do this before contacting your bank.

Is anything charged on top of the plan price?

The plan price is a base starting price. A custom domain is billed separately and depends on availability in your market. Any feature, page, or integration requested outside the documented project scope is quoted and billed as a separate milestone, and you approve that quote before we build it.

Billing cycle and renewal

When am I charged?

The first charge is taken when you accept the quote and complete the payment link. After that, monthly plans are charged on the same date each month and yearly plans on the same date each year, until cancelled.

What exactly is 'two months free on yearly'?

You pay for ten months and receive twelve. Every yearly figure shown on the pricing page is simply the monthly rate multiplied by ten, so the discount can be checked against the monthly price at a glance.

Can I move from monthly to yearly, or change plan?

Yes. Write to billing@boltonvance.com with the plan you want to move to. The change is applied from your next billing cycle rather than mid-period, so you are never charged twice for overlapping cover.

Will I get a receipt or an invoice?

A receipt is issued for every successful charge. If you need an invoice addressed to a registered company, with a tax number or purchase order reference on it, email billing@boltonvance.com with those details and we will reissue it in the format your accounts team needs.

Cancellation and refunds

How do I cancel?

Send a cancellation request to billing@boltonvance.com or message us on WhatsApp. Auto-renewal is switched off as soon as we acknowledge it, so no further charge is taken. Your service continues to the end of the period you have already paid for.

Can I get a refund on a monthly plan?

No. Once a new billing month begins and the payment is successfully taken, that month is non-refundable, because resources and servers are allocated instantly. You can cancel at any time to prevent the charge for the following month.

Can I get a refund on a yearly plan?

No. Yearly plans are strictly non-refundable. Cancelling disables auto-renewal immediately, but the amount already taken for the current year stands, because annual cloud server costs, API licences, and infrastructure setups are paid upfront by us to global vendors for the whole year.

What about a one-time custom project?

One-time project payments carry a strict no-refund policy. On completion, and at your request, we hand over the complete source code and all project assets. You have 7 days from delivery to request reasonable revisions inside the original scope. Once signed off, the project is closed, and later modifications or new features are treated as a fresh requirement with separate charges.

Are there maintenance charges?

Not for the first three months. Every active monthly and yearly subscription carries zero service or maintenance charges for the first 3 months, so during that period you pay only your plan's base cost.

Missed payments and disputes

What happens if a payment fails?

You have a 7-day grace period to clear the invoice. After that, service is suspended automatically. If the account is still unsettled 30 days after suspension, client data and configurations are permanently purged, so please get in touch inside that window rather than letting it lapse.

My service was suspended. How do I restore it?

Clear the outstanding invoice within the 30-day window and email billing@boltonvance.com to confirm. Configurations are restored from the existing setup. Once the 30 days have passed and data has been purged, a fresh setup is required and is quoted as new work.

I think a charge is wrong. What should I do?

Email billing@boltonvance.com with the date, amount, and what you believe is incorrect. We investigate billing queries as a priority. Please raise it with us before opening a bank dispute, because a chargeback filed without any attempt at resolution results in immediate suspension of all services, revocation of digital assets including code, domains, and hosting, and possible legal escalation under Delaware jurisdiction.

A third-party platform went down and affected my service. Am I refunded?

No. Bolton Vance LLC is not legally or financially liable for downtime, API changes, or account restrictions caused by third-party platforms, for example a WhatsApp API restriction, an AWS outage, or a Stripe policy update. We will work with you on a fix or a workaround, but those events sit outside our control and outside the subscription price.

Still unsure about a charge?

Billing questions go straight to a person, not a queue. Support is staffed 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, across UTC, GST, and EST. Reach us before contacting your bank and we will sort it out.

For anything that is not billing related, write to support@boltonvance.com.
