9.1. A subscription is taken out for the selected billing period and, when it ends, automatically renews for the same period — including where that term is no longer offered on this site for new subscriptions — at the price of the selected plan in effect on the renewal date (subject to Section 7.3), until the Client cancels it under Section 12.
9.2. Card payments. By choosing to pay by card and confirming the payment, the Client consents to the card's payment details being stored with Modu's payment partner and authorizes Modu to charge the plan price to that card on the last day of each paid period without separate confirmation of each payment (recurring payments). Card details are stored by the payment partner in line with the PCI DSS security standard; Modu does not receive or store the full card number or CVV/CVC code.
9.3. Payment by invoice. For bank-transfer payments, Modu sends the Client an invoice for the next period at least 7 (seven) calendar days before the renewal date; the invoice is payable by the renewal date.
9.4. Notices. At least 7 (seven) calendar days before each renewal — and, for 6- or 12-month subscriptions, also 30 (thirty) calendar days before — Modu emails the Client a reminder with the amount, date, and payment method. A receipt is sent after each successful payment.
9.5. Failed payments. If a card charge fails, Modu retries within 5 (five) calendar days after the renewal date and notifies the Client of each failed attempt; during this time the Client may pay the renewal manually or update the card. If payment is not received within 7 (seven) calendar days after the renewal date (the grace period), the subscription moves to the free plan. The Client's data is retained, and a paid plan can be restarted at any time.
9.6. The Client may at any time update the card, switch to paying by invoice, or remove the saved card on the Plan & Billing page. If the saved card is removed and no other payment method is selected, the Client pays the renewal manually by the renewal date.
