Note: You may also be charged VAT if your billing country is UK or in the EU. You can cancel your Employee management subscription at any time by deleting extra employees in the ‘Employee list’ section. However, please note that the paid amount is non-refundable. Therefore, if you delete any employees before the paid period ends, the paid amount cannot be refunded.

7. Unsubscribing

When your trial or subscription period ends, everything in the Back Office will be locked except for the 'Billing & Subscriptions' section and access to manage stores or the employee list according to the subscription.
For free trial users: If no action is taken, the Back Office will be locked immediately after the free trial period ends.
To continue using the Back Office, you will need to either activate the subscription or unsubscribe.
If the subscription was activated but the first payment failed and the invoice was not paid, the Back office will be locked immediately.
For subscribed users: When the billing period ends, a new invoice will be issued automatically. If this invoice is not paid, the system will allow you to continue using the Back Office for 7 days, then it will be locked on the 8th day.
To continue using the Back Office, you must pay the unpaid invoice or unsubscribe.

If you click ‘Unsubscribe’ from the Employee management, all your employees will be deleted from the Employees list except for the owner, and you can continue using the Back Office.

  • unsubscribing in the middle of the billing cycle
