Is a refund available for monthly subscription plans? For monthly subscriptions refunds are not available. Subscriptions can be managed autonomously via the self-service portal. Giving flexibility to switch between plans as needed and manage the subscriptions. Can I receive a refund on my annual subscription? For annual subscriptions, prorated credits are available. This is calculated by deducting the equivalent monthly rate for the period used from the total annual fee, crediting the remainder. For example, if three months have been utilised, the credit will be calculated based on the monthly subscription fee, and the total credit will be the balance for the remaining nine months. Any remaining pro-rata credit will remain in your Starshipit account for you to use at a later date - a credit will be applied and automatically offset against any future invoices. Unfortunately, we're unable to refund you any credit you have that may reside in your Starshipit account. (Please be advised that some Enterprise Plus accounts may be subject to specific contractual terms that may come with restrictions. We encourage you to consult any additional contractual clauses for further details) What happens when I use more labels than my plan allows?
