6. Payment Policy
6.1 Monthly/ Annual Payment
ShopOn Online (Pty) Ltd reserves the right to change prices of accounts or services with prior notice and in accordance with the South African Consumer Protection Act (No. 68 of 2008). VAT is not charged on any of ShopOn’s products/services.
Upon purchasing a ShopOn product, the Client agrees to pay any monthly or annual fees for this product/service until the Client formally agrees to terminate the service - see 8. Termination of Account. Payments are to be made to ShopOn's bank account on the due date specified on the Client invoice. Payment can be done via EFT, Debit Order or Credit Card.
6.2 Late or Non Payment
6.2.1 ShopOn Plus Paid Package
An invoice is sent to the Client periodically informing the Client when payment is due. Should payment not be received by the due date, then ShopOn will send out a first reminder to the Client with an attached account invoice (this will usually happen two days after the due date). If payment is still not received, then ShopOn will send a second reminder with an attached invoice (this will usually happen 4 days after the due date). Should payment still not be received by the Client after the 5th day that the account has been overdue, then ShopOn will automatically suspend the Client’s ShopOn account and email services.
Whilst the Client’s account is suspended he/she will not be able to access the backend ecommerce system and the public will not be able to view/access his/her online store. The Client will still remain on the billing list for one month (i.e. 45 day grace period) from date of suspension, giving the Client an opportunity to make payment and have the website/email service re-instated as per usual without any penalty charges. Should the Client still not settle the account within this 45 day grace period, then the Client’s account will be terminated and all his/her data permanently deleted – this includes: website content, product information, order information etc.
Any failure by the Client to pay any fees due under these Terms and Conditions on the date specified shall be deemed to be a "material breach" of these Terms and Conditions. ShopOn reserves the right to suspend other products/services that the Client may have until the outstanding debt is cleared. ShopOn will not be held responsible for suspension/termination of a Client’s account should the Client claim that he/she did not receive any of the aforementioned reminders in due time due to a technical glitch on either party’s side or for any other reasons.
The Client is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time the account was established to the time that the Client sends a cancellation request – see section 8. Termination of Account.
6.2.2 ShopOn Free Trial Package
The Client can choose to sign up for the ShopOn Free Trial Package. This service is offered free of charge and will expire after 15 days from date of signup. During this time, the Client will have complete access to all of ShopOn’s features, except he/she will not be able to accept credit card payments online, register a domain or create custom email address(es). Before the package expires, the Client will receive two reminders informing the Client that he/she will need to upgrade to the ShopOn Plus Paid Package in order to continue using ShopOn’s services.
Should the Client not upgrade to the ShopOn Plus Paid Package within the 15 day period then the ShopOn Free Trial Package will expire and become suspended. The Client will then have a further 15 days (from date of expiry/suspension) to upgrade to the ShopOn Plus Paid Package. To do this, the Client will have to contact ShopOn support (support@shopon.co.za) and specifically request this.
Should the Client still not upgrade after this 15 day extension period, then the account will be terminated and all data will be deleted off the servers.
6.3 Pro-Rata Billing for Package Upgrade
6.3.1 Pro-Rata Billing vs. Fixed Billing Explained
All newly created paid accounts are invoiced at a FIXED rate periodically (i.e. monthly or annually). For the case of package upgrades, however, this is different and the Client will be charged a pro-rata billing rate ONLY for the first invoice created (i.e. the invoice created at the time of upgrade from ShopOn Free Trial Package to ShopOn Plus Paid Package). Once this first invoice has been settled, then all future invoices generated and submitted to the Client will be fixed.
6.3.2 Pro-rata Billing Calculation Method for Upgrades
When you sign up for a ShopOn Trial Package, the next due invoice, should you wish to upgrade, will be due 30 or 31 days after the date of signup, depending on the month that you signed up in. The duration of the ShopOn Free Trial Package is 15 Days.
Subject to the day of the 30 or 31 Day Billing Cycle that the Client decides to upgrade to our paid SaaS package, he/she will be invoiced a pro-rata amount according to the following calculation:
[(Monthly Price Per Package Purchased) / 31 Days OR 30 Days] X (No. of Days Left in Billing Cycle)
EXAMPLE 1:
Client signs up for ShopOn Free Trial Package on 10th May; Next due invoice date is 10th June. Client decides to upgrade to ShopOn Plus Paid Package on 23rd May.
Calculation:
Monthly Price Per Package = R299.00
Price per day = R299.00/31 = R9.65 (May has 31 days in it)
No. of Days Left in Billing Cycle =18
Therefore Pro-Rata Amount = 18 x R9.65 = R173.70
EXAMPLE 2:
Client signs up for ShopOn Free Trial Package on 10th September; Next due invoice date is 10th October. Client decides to upgrade to ShopOn Plus Paid Package on 23rd September.
Calculation:
Monthly Price Per Package = R299.00
Price per day = R299/30 = R9.97 (September has 30 days in it.)
No. of Days Left in Billing Cycle =17
Therefore Pro-Rata Amount = 17 x R9.97 = R169.43
6.4 Domain Registration
Your domain name will only be registered once your first payment has been received by ShopOn. If you have selected to use the ShopOn Free Trial Package, then your selected domain will only be registered once you have upgraded to the ShopOn Plus Paid Package and made first payment. This means that until your domain name has been registered by ShopOn, it will be available for other persons/companies to register the domain themselves and take ownership of it.
NB: ShopOn will not be liable in anyway whatsoever for Clients’ whose desired domain name (which was once available upon signup with ShopOn) has now become unavailable as another entity had registered and paid for the domain name before ShopOn received payment from the Client for first invoice.
6.5 Online Payments
All online credit card payments that are accepted for ShopOn’s SaaS are processed by PayFast's Payment Gateway. Card Holders may go to the link below to view PayFast security policies.
