In DataKnowl, there are two options regarding Services costs:
- Monthly recurring fees
- Pay-as-you-go usage charges
Monthly recurring fees and pay-as-you-go usage charges, related to your DataKnowl
active Services, are automatically billed to your Account balance. Monthly recurring
fees (e.g. local numbers fees, toll-free fees, DataKnowl Contact plans fees, DataKnowl
V-Voice plans fees, DataKnowl V-Agent plans fees etc.) are billed
monthly to your Account balance, or
annually (if the payment is made for the entire year, thereby taking advantage of the discount).
Phone number fees and Service Plans fees are billed on the day of the month in which
the number was purchased or the Service Plan was activated. If the billing date does
not occur in every month, billing will be on the last day of that month (e.g. If you
purchased a phone number on March 31st, the monthly fees of the following month will
be billed on April 30th because April 31st does not exist).
On the date of purchasing a new number and/or on the date of subscribing to a Service
Plan, the fee for the entire month will be deducted from the credit balance of your
Account. (If you purchase a phone number and three days later decide to cancel it,
you cannot request a refund for that month.)
Pay-as-you-go usage charges (interactions, usage service charges, minutes, SMS, transcriptions,
ASR, call recordings, storage etc.) are automatically deducted, in near real-time,
from the credit balance of your Account.
You will receive an
email notification when your Account balance is below five dollars. If your Account balance reaches
$0, an
email alert is sent and your Account will be temporarily suspended. If there are calls in progress
when this happens these calls will still be completed and charged; now your Account
will have a negative balance.
The Account will remain suspended and therefore you cannot make or receive any calls,
SMS, messages etc. until a credit top-up is made.
