Plans ## How do plans, extra packs and expiry work? ### One balance, no per-seat fee Credits belong to the organisation, so adding a colleague adds no fee. Owners can set monthly spending limits per team and per person on the shared balance. ### One plan per organisation Changing plan replaces the current one, never a second subscription. Moving up applies at once, with the difference for the rest of the cycle; moving down applies at the next renewal. ### Extra packs on top of a plan Ran out before the renewal? Buy a one-off pack: it adds to the balance and leaves the plan as it is. ### Cancelling stops the renewal Credits already received stay until they expire, and so do your saved analyses, datasets and invoices. ### Do credits expire? Yes. Credits from one-off packs last 12 months; plan credits last the month of renewal and the following month. The balance always spends the credits that expire first, and you get an email one week before they expire. How long each kind of credit lasts Credits from Valid for One-off pack 12 months Monthly plan The month of renewal and the next Welcome credits 12 months Monthly top-up to 20 Until the end of the month FAQ ## Pricing questions ### Which currency will I be charged in? Each currency has its own round price, never converted at the day’s rate. The app picks the currency of the country you browse from, and you can change it in your account settings. With an active plan, purchases stay in the plan’s currency. ### Do unused plan credits roll over to the next month? For one month. Plan credits are valid in the month of renewal and the following month, then they expire. Pack credits last 12 months, and the balance always uses the credits that expire first. ### Can I buy K-Stra as an individual? No. K-Stra sells to businesses only: checkout asks for your company name, address and tax details, such as an ABN or a VAT number. Prices on this page exclude taxes. ### Can I get a refund? Credits, packs and plan renewals are not refundable and cannot be exchanged for money, except where the law requires it. A run that fails is never charged, and if a run was charged by mistake we check the activity log and return the credits to your balance. ### Do your prices include GST or VAT? Prices exclude taxes, and K-Stra does not charge GST or VAT: every invoice states “No GST or VAT has been charged on this invoice.” Your accountant can confirm how to record the purchase in your own books. ### Where do I find my invoices? In the app, under Account → Billing, for anyone with billing rights in the organisation. Every invoice can be downloaded as a PDF and is issued in the currency you paid. ### What if we need more than 3,000 credits a month? Ask for an Enterprise agreement, with custom volumes and terms for large networks. Write to [info@k-stra.com](mailto:info@k-stra.com) or use the [contact page](https://www.k-stra.com/contact/) .
