If you don't have a Tapfiliate account yet, you'll be able to select either monthly or annual billing right at signing up. The option to choose a plan and/or switch from monthly to annual billing will appear on the signup page. ![](https://mintcdn.com/tapfiliate-help/R0H4vgI8CgAQbiRQ/images/6572477/01-image.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=R0H4vgI8CgAQbiRQ\&q=85\&s=a2151ba937b9cc205fdd2cf3973cc424) If you already have a Tapfiliate account, you can change your billing plan in *Settings β†’ Account β†’ Billing β†’ Change plan.* *** **Still in your trial?** During your trial you can switch between monthly and annual billing, and between plans, yourself in *Settings β†’ Account β†’ Billing β†’ Change plan*. You will get charged when your trial time ends, and thus the billing cycle starts. *** ***Important note:*** downgrading an annual plan or switching back to monthly billing is *only possible via a support request.*\ When you switch from monthly billing to an annual plan of a **higher tier** (for example, from Launch monthly to Scale annual), and also when you upgrade from one annual plan to another, the following will apply: * Your current billing will stop * The new billing period will start on the day of the switch and last for the next 12 months * You will get charged within 24 hours from the switch/upgrade request * We will calculate the billing sum as such: ***Payment sum = The price of the new plan - The rest of the sum from the previously paid period***\ When you switch to the annual version of your **current plan** (for example, from Launch monthly to Launch annual) or to an annual plan of a **lower tier**, your plan changes right away, the month you have already paid for runs to its end, and the full annual price is charged on your next billing date. There is no credit for the month you have already paid for: under our [Terms of Service](https://tapfiliate.com/terms/), a downgrade gives no right to a refund or credit. *** ## Auto-charge for the next year Tapfiliate will issue an auto-charge for the next year once your paid period is over. No worries, we'll send out a reminder via email in advance βœ‰οΈ *** ## Refund terms Annual payments are **non-refundable**, in whole or in part, including when you cancel or downgrade during the year. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the year you have paid for.\ If we charged you in error, report it to [support@tapfiliate.com](mailto:support@tapfiliate.com) within 30 days of the charge and we will refund that amount. See [Why was I charged and what is the refund policy?](https://support.tapfiliate.com/troubleshooting-faq/faq-billing/why-was-i-charged-and-what-is-the-refund-policy.md) for the full policy. *** ## FAQ ### ❓Can I get a refund if I request the downgrade? No. Under our [Terms of Service](https://tapfiliate.com/terms/), a downgrade does not give a right to a refund or credit for the period you have already paid for. ### ❓Will the features of my initial plan be available upon downgrade? No, the features of your initial plan won't be available upon downgrade. You will only be able to use the features according to your current plan. ### ❓Is it possible to cancel my subscription while on annual billing? Yes, you can cancel the subscription anytime. You keep access until the end of the year you have paid for, and the subscription won't renew. Until then you can undo the cancellation with **Resume subscription** on the Billing page; after that, see [How to Reopen a Cancelled Tapfiliate Account](https://support.tapfiliate.com/troubleshooting-faq/faq-account-program-management/how-to-reopen-a-cancelled-tapfiliate-account-trial-or-paid.md).
