Modification type | Fee details |
Upgrade Now | Payment amount = (Monthly price of new configuration / 30 / 24 × Remaining subscription duration in hours) - (Monthly price of old configuration / 30 / 24 × Remaining subscription duration in hours) Example: The monthly price of the new configuration is USD 14,400, and the monthly price of the old configuration is USD 7,200. The remaining subscription duration is 50 days. The payment amount is (14,400 / 30 / 24 × 50 × 24) - (7,200 / 30 / 24 × 50 × 24) = USD 12,000. |
Downgrade Now | Refund amount = (Monthly price of old configuration / 30 / 24 × Remaining subscription duration in hours) - (Monthly price of new configuration / 30 / 24 × Remaining subscription duration in hours) Example: The fee for the current configuration for 3 months is USD 3,500. After applying a coupon, the actual amount paid is USD 3,000. After two months of use, the value of the remaining duration is USD 1,000. The price of the new configuration for one month is USD 800. The refund amount is 1,000 - 800 = USD 200. |
