Subscription Fees are specified on the Composity Sites and in the subscription-details section in your Account in the Workspace, except as otherwise provided in an Order Form. Payment obligations are non-cancelable and, except as expressly stated in the Order, fees paid are non-refundable. These means that in the event you decide to downgrade any subscriptions from a paid plan to a free plan, or from more expensive to cheaper plan, you will remain responsible for any unpaid fees under the paid plan, and Services under the paid plan will be deemed fully performed and delivered upon expiration of the initial paid plan subscription terms. In the event you upgrade your Subscription Plan, the Subscription Fees applicable to your new version of the Composity Platform will take effect immediately, with such increased fees calculated on a prorated basis, taking into account the number of days remaining in the then-current Subscription.
Services Fees
You shall pay Composity all of the fees for Services specified in an Order. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Order Form, all fees are quoted in Euro, payment obligations are non-cancellable, and Services Fees are non-refundable and shall not be subject to setoff or other reduction.

Consulting Services
You may purchase Consulting Services by placing an Order with us. The Consulting Services we provide will be described in the Order Form. We will deliver the Consulting Services in English.

If you subscribed to a yearly plan, the cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current annual billing period and no credits or refunds will be issued to you for prepaid fees.
