How do I cancel my subscription?

To cancel, please follow the steps below:

I cancelled my subscription but now I want to re-instate it: do I have to create a new Blink account and start over?

As long as you are reactivating the subscription prior to the subscription end date, you'll be able to do this directly in the Billing tab. For example, a subscription with an end date of August 10th is cancelled by the admin on July 6th: if the admin decides to reactivate it, they may do so at any time prior to August 10th.

If you wish to re-activate your subscription and the end date has passed, please contact our support team.

How is my subscription charged?

Subscriptions purchased via the Billing Panel within Blink are billed monthly or annually. Your selected payment method will be charged automatically on a recurring monthly or annual basis. Your subscription will be renewed automatically and you will be charged in advance of each billing cycle unless you cancel.

When will I be charged?

Depending on how you've set up your subscription, you will either be charged on a monthly or yearly basis. Annual subscriptions renew automatically via the payment method on file exactly one year from the initial subscription date. For more information on monthly billing, please see below. ⏬

How does monthly billing work?

On the 1st of every month, you will be invoiced for a full period. If you sign up for Blink on any other day, you will not be charged for the full month. You will be immediately billed for a pro-rated amount of time from the day you subscribe to the 1st of the month. You can find out more about prorated billing below. ⏬

What is pro-rated billing and how does it work at Blink?

Prorated billing enables us to only charge you for the service that you have used. At Blink the bill date is the 1st of the month, if you sign up 1 monthly user for £4.82 on November 20, you'll be charged for the time between November 20 and December 1 (your next bill date). In this case, the prorated charge is £1.78 (£4.82/30 days x 11 days). You're paying for 11 days of the service instead of a full month.

Why is my invoice amount for more/less than what I was expecting?

Your subscription payment may be adjusted to suit the number of users currently in your organization. For example, if you are currently paying for 150 users but have 200 registered active users on your app, your subscription would increase.

How do I view or download my invoices?

You can view your invoices via the billing panel in the admin portal of your Blink instance.

Why do I see authorization charges on my credit card?

An authorization charge, is a temporary hold placed on a customer’s payment card. It’s used to verify that the account is valid and has sufficient funds to cover a pending transaction, without actually debiting the cardholder’s account upfront. Once the transaction is completed, the hold is removed, and the actual charge is processed. If the order is cancelled, the authorization charge will be reversed and nothing will be charged to your account.

What is Blink's refund policy?

At this time, Blink provides refunds in the form of a credit towards the next billing cycle. Please note that Blink is unable to offer a refund for a cancellation prior to the end of the existing subscription period. If a subscription is cancelled prior to the end of the billing period, the organization will remain active and accessible for the duration of the cycle.

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

What payment gateway does Blink use?
