    The free trial offer entitles new, registered users to a fourteen (14) day free trial of the Services. You represent and warrant to iGMS that any payment information you provide is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument for this Service. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay iGMS the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and this TOS. You hereby authorize iGMS to bill your payment instrument in advance of receipt of any Service or after your use of the Service on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. We reserve the right to change iGMS’s prices. If iGMS does change the pricing plans, iGMS will provide notice of the change on the Application or in email to you, at iGMS’s option, at least 30 days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. Your failure to provide payment in accordance with your payment plan on a timely basis shall afford iGMS the right to terminate your access to the Service. All fees are non-refundable and exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes and government charges, and all reasonable expenses and attorneys fees iGMS incurs collecting late amounts. Additional information on our payment plans is available at /pricing/ or /pricing/, on the Site, or in the order form confirming your purchase. To the extent your use of the Service exceeds the usage limits provided for in your payment plan, you were not invoiced for services rendered, or you missed any payments due on your account, iGMS reserves the right to recover such fees and charge you standard and overage fees for any such regular and excessive use.

    A valid credit card is required for you to continue using the paid version of iGMS Services after the fourteen (14) day free trial period ends. 

    Monthly PRO Plan:  

     

    • The Services are billed on a monthly basis at the beginning of the month following after the billing month and are non-refundable. 
    • There will be no refunds or credits for partial months, or for months unused with an open account. 
    • If you decide to terminate your Monthly PRO Plan, we will issue the final bill that will contain the regular billing amount. There are no credits or refunds for partial months or for months unused with an open account. You are liable to pay the final bill.

    Annual PRO Plan: 

    • The Services are billed on a monthly basis. If you have more than 10 (ten) active properties at the beginning of the month following after the billing month and are non-refundable. 
    • The Services are billed as a one-time prepayment. If you have fewer than 10 (ten) active properties within 3 business days after subscription upgrade. 
    • There will be no refunds or credits for partial months or for months unused with an open account. 
    • Contract termination before the due date switches the subscription to Monthly PRO. The charges are applied for the difference between the annual and monthly rates for the period of your subscription. You are liable to pay the final bill. 

    Example: You signed up for the iGMS Annual PRO Plan with 1 property and used the Service for 6 months at the rate of $27 per property per month. If you decide to cancel in 6 months, your subscription for these past 6 months will be recalculated with the PRO monthly rate of $40 per property per month. Therefore, the difference of $13 per month ($78 in total) will be charged to your final bill. 

    FLEX Plan: 

    • The Services are billed on a monthly basis based on the number of booked nights you have per month but no less than $20 per month per active property. 
    • The billing cycle starts at the beginning of the next month. 
    • There will be no refunds or credits for partial months or for months unused with an open account. 
    • If you decide to terminate your Flexible Plan, we will issue the final bill for your last month of usage. You are liable to pay the final bill.

    LITE Monthly Plan: 

    • LITE plan is only applicable if you have fewer than five (5) active properties at any time during the billing month. 
    • The Services are billed on a monthly basis at the beginning of the next month and are non-refundable. 
    • There will be no refunds or credits for partial months or for months unused with an open account. 
    • If you decide to terminate your LITE Monthly Plan, we will issue the final bill for your last month of usage. You are liable to pay the final bill.

    LITE Prepaid Annual Plan:

    • LITE plan is only applicable if you have fewer than five (5) active properties at any time during the billing month. 
    • The Services are billed in advance on a yearly basis and are non-refundable. 

    We reserve the right to change service fees upon thirty (30) days notice. Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to iGMS or by email.

    Promo codes are not valid during any seasonal promotional periods and with promo rates.

    Subscription upgrades and downgrades

    • LITE plan users are authorized to upgrade their subscription to PRO or FLEX at any time. The new subscription will come into effect on the date of upgrade.
    • PRO and FLEX plan users are not authorized to upgrade or downgrade their subscription to LITE if they have more than 4 active properties.
    • Downgrades from the PRO subscription are possible no more than once (1) per year and only upon request. iGMS is entitled to refute such requests.
    • The LITE plan users are not authorized to have more than four (4) active properties. In case an active account has 5 and more active properties, the subscription will be automatically upgraded to PRO monthly or PRO annual respectively. The charges will be applied in accordance with the PRO plan rates starting from the date of the upgrade.

    Minimum fee

    A minimum fee covering at least one property is applied if you do not have any active reservations or properties during the billing cycle. The fee corresponds to your monthly rate per property per month. Your rate is indicated in your iGMS Profile.

    Billing Disputes

    All billing disputes should be addressed within the billing month the invoice was issued. You have 30 days from the date of invoice to contest charges, emailing directly to billing@igms.com. iGMS will disregard all disputes addressed after 30 days from the date of invoice. All objections to the amount charged per month are processed within 7 business days. iGMS is entitled to refute any objections based on the internal data and evidence.

    iGMS is not responsible for any loss of revenue regarding Properties.
