Billing Cycle
Fees
Payment Methods
Q-Trader accepts payments from most major credit cards.
Subscription Billing
Invoices are generated and payments are collected at the beginning of each billing period. Client billing periods typically begin on the day of the month (or year for yearly programs) in which the Client purchased the Q-Trader subscription. Client must request to cancel their subscriptions at least 10 days prior to their next billing date in order to avoid being charged on the billing date. Q-Trader will not pro rata any portion of unused subscription services. All subscription fees are non-refundable except as described below.
Normal, Reasonable Business Use
Q-Trader offers unlimited features within normal and reasonable business use limits e.g. number of Deals and Offers. The unlimited features are product specific. Normal and reasonable use of unlimited products must be consistent with the type and level of usage per typical Client in the particular membership.
Excessive Use Of Unlimited
Businesses engaging in these practices may cause a degradation in the service Q-Trader provides. Unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by business Clients may lead to account throttling, suspension, or termination. Unlimited is not to be shared with any other independent or separate account, individual or user by any means. For this reason, Q-Trader may consider “excessive” and per its sole discretion including, but not limited to:
Q-Trader further reserves the right to withdraw or change any unlimited feature at any time. If Q-Trader makes any change(s) to an unlimited feature, you will receive a notification describing the change(s) to the relevant unlimited feature and the date such changes take effect.
Level Upgrade/Downgrade
Q-Trader subscriptions are purchased on a fixed-term basis: monthly or annually, depending on the products you registered for.
If an account is upgraded to a higher tier, the system will run a one-off pro-rated charge for the remaining days of the current billing period. From thereafter, the standard fees for your newly upgraded membership level will become effective. Overages are charged based on the level of the Client's subscription activity at the time of it being incurred.
Account downgrades require communication with Q-Trader support portal (Contact Us page) to ensure your account assets are reduced below Level requirements. They will also go into effect the following billing cycle.
Refund Policies
Q-Trader refund policies vary depending on the product, as follows:
Q-Trader may either refuse a refund request or disallow repurchase of a previously refunded product if we find any evidence suggesting fraud, refund abuse, trial abuse, or other manipulative behaviour that allows use of the product without payment.
Cancellation Process
Creating a Cancellation request: A request to cancel a Q-Trader subscription must be initiated at least 10 days prior to the next invoice date. For Q-Trader users, cancellation can also be done via the Billing Profile self-service portal in your account. Any other request to cancel a Q-Trader subscription can also be made via the Billing Profile self-service portal in your account with a Q-Trader representative at least 10 days prior to the next invoice date. Customers are encouraged to keep records of all communications regarding cancellation. Until a cancellation request is made, or a cancellation processed via the self-service portal, Q-Trader will continue to treat it as an open account. Unless cancelled, the billing cycle will continue, possibly resulting in a past due account that may be turned over to a third party collection service. It is imperative that you chat with a Q-Trader representative, utilize the self-service option, or submit an online ticket through the cancellation form if you wish to initiate cancellation of your Q-Trader account.
Cancellation of an account does not dismiss outstanding invoices or nullify previously agreed charges. At the time of cancellation, any outstanding balance must be settled. All cancelled accounts with an outstanding balance may be turned over to a third-party collection service.
Billing Disputes
Each Q-Trader customer agrees to provide Q-Trader 30 days to attempt settlement of any billing dispute before disputing with any third-party credit/debit card company or bank. Should Q-Trader receive a chargeback from a third-party credit/debit card company or bank on the customer's behalf before Q-Trader has been given a chance to resolve the issue, Q-Trader has the right to charge the customer for its time spent in resolving such disputes and any associated fees incurred by Q-Trader, in addition to the $50 chargeback fee mentioned above. Regardless of the outcome of the chargeback, Q-Trader retains the right to collect on any Services or fees that are due. Q-Trader may submit any disputed amounts to a collection agency. Once a chargeback has been received, Q-Trader has the right to suspend the account until the matter is resolved.
