- Payment Values and Billing
3.1 Billing Process
Construct App has a monthly billing cycle based on the number of customer users and the chosen plan.

In both situations the variation of price occurs based on: (i) the size of the customer, (ii) the number of customer users and (iii) the specific functionalities available based on the chosen business plan.
No penalties are charged based on fidelity besides the monthly period in which the application was used. Therefore, a customer could use the app for 1 month and discontinue any time. The customer is only responsible for payment of the month in which the user was discontinued.
The definition of the exact billing method and business plan will be sent to customers via email weather it was chosen directly on the website or negotiated by a Construct sales representative.
3.2 Payment Date, Number of Users, Monthly Invoices, Adding Users and Discontinuation of Users.

The number of users will be defined by the customer at the moment a customer selects the business plan and can be changed at any time. Each indicated user included in a month pays for a whole month, independent of the effective use of the user.
The discontinuation of any specific user can be requested at any time by the customer via the customer’s administrator panel. However, users that are discontinued will still be charged for the whole month in which they were discontinued. The user will not be charged in the subsequent billing period.
