8. SUBSCRIPTIONS

Subscription Required

Access to Jobsparki's paid platform requires a paid subscription. By signing up for a subscription, you agree to pay the applicable fees.

Payment Processing

We use Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe") as our third-party payment processor. All payments are processed according to Stripe's terms and privacy policy. You must provide a valid payment method (e.g., credit card) to initiate a subscription.

Billing Cycle

Your subscription begins on the date you complete your initial payment and recurs on a monthly basis ("Billing Cycle"). You will be billed in advance for each Billing Cycle.

Metered Usage (Resume Downloads)

In addition to the base subscription fee, usage of certain features, specifically tailored resume downloads, incurs additional charges ("Metered Usage Fees"). These fees are calculated based on your usage during the preceding Billing Cycle and will be added to your regular subscription invoice or billed separately as determined by Stripe's metered billing configuration. You will be charged for each unique tailored resume downloaded for the first time; subsequent downloads of the same tailored resume are not charged again.

Automatic Renewal

Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each Billing Cycle for a subsequent Billing Cycle at the then-current subscription rate, unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the current Billing Cycle. You authorize us (through Stripe) to charge your designated payment method for the renewal fee and any applicable Metered Usage Fees.

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the billing management portal accessible via your account settings.

  • Effectiveness: Cancellations will take effect at the end of the current Billing Cycle for which you have already paid.
  • No Refunds: We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods or unused services upon cancellation. You will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current paid Billing Cycle.
  • Metered Fees: Any Metered Usage Fees incurred during your final Billing Cycle will still be charged on your final invoice at the end of that cycle.

Managing Your Subscription

You can manage your subscription, including updating your payment method or cancelling your subscription, through the Stripe Customer Portal linked within your Jobsparki account settings.

Fee Changes

We reserve the right to change our subscription fees or Metered Usage Fees upon reasonable prior notice. Any fee changes will take effect commencing with the next Billing Cycle following the notice period. Your continued use of the service after the fee change constitutes your agreement to pay the modified fee.
