If a payment fails
- For 21 days, we keep trying to charge the card on file. Your account and live campaigns keep working.
- If payment still isn't collected, your paid plan is cancelled and your account moves to the Free plan.
- If your account uses more than the Free plan allows, it's disabled: your data is kept, but live campaigns stop until the balance is paid.
- A disabled account is permanently deleted 90 days after it's disabled.
To stop this, update your card as soon as you're told a payment failed. The full terms are in our Terms and Conditions.
