Billing Policies

On rare occasions, you might be due a refund or have a credit on your account, or you might need to resolve a declined payment.

Cancellations / Refunds

If you cancel your billing account and have unused funds in your account, you might be eligible for a refund. Keep in mind that we don’t offer refunds in these cases:

• You have money left over in your billing account from a promotional code.
• Your billing account isn’t disabled.
• You have an outstanding balance.(If you’re not sure whether this is the case, select a billing account and then click History to see if there’s an outstanding balance in your billing account.)

For accounts you can start the refund process by submitting a refund request to billing@blockdrive.com. Please include the following information:

• The reason for the refund/cancellation of your account.
• The amount of the refund you’re requesting.
• The date you cancelled your account or deleted your project.

Note: If your refund request is processed, your refund will be credited back to the credit card or bank account associated with the billing account.

Viewing credits and adjustments

On rare occasions, BlockDrive might modify your account balance. This is called an adjustment. Most of the time, adjustments come in the form of credits. Credits reduce your account balance.

To view adjustments applied to your account:

1. Sign in to the BlockDrive Platform Console
2. Open the console left side menu and select Billing.
3. If you have more than one billing account, select Go to linked billing account to manage the current project’s billing. To locate a different billing account, select Manage billing accounts.
4. If you have any credits, under Credits, for each credit you’ll see the Promotion ID, Expiresdate, the total Promotion Value, and the Amount Remaining.

Resolving declined payments

Sometimes payments are declined, and when they are, we might stop running your services until your payment can be processed. Fortunately, you can get your services running again in just a few steps.

• Find out the reason for the decline.You can view declined payment information for your billing account on the billing account History In the billing history, you can see the date of the decline, the amount, and if your bank shared it with us, the reason for the decline. (Keep in mind that BlockDrive doesn’t decline payments; your bank or credit card institution does.)
• Contact your bank or credit card company.If you can’t figure out why your payment was declined or if you can’t solve the issue, contact your bank or credit card company. Give them the date and amount of the declined payment, and they should be able to tell you what the problem is and help you fix it.
• Re-enable your form of payment. After you’ve contacted your bank and made sure that the form of payment will work, here’s how to re-enable it:
  • • Go to the BlockDrive Platform Console.
    • Open the console left side menu and select Billing.
    • If you have more than one billing account, select Go to linked billing account to manage the current project’s billing. To locate a different billing account, select Manage billing accounts.
    • Click Payment method.
    • Find the form of payment and check to make sure that all the details are correct for this form of payment.
    • Below the information for the form of payment, click Re-enable form of payment.

It’s important to note the following:

• Re-enabling your form of payment will automatically trigger a charge for your outstanding balance. It may take a few hours to process the payment. If the payment isn’t successful within one business day after you re-enabled your form of payment, reactivate your account by making a manual payment or adding a new payment method.
• Help keep your services running by entering a backup credit card. We’ll charge your backup card only if your primary form of payment is declined.
• If your billing account remains invalid for a protracted period, some resources might be removed from the projects associated with your account.
