Fees

You can sign up for a free Account (“Freemium Account”) to access basic Content (“Free Content”) and use basic Services (“Free Services”), but to access advanced Content (“Enterprise Content”) and use advanced Services (“Enterprise Services”), you must sign up for a enterprise Account (“Enterprise Account”).

To create a Enterprise Account, you must contact with Gamewheel team. The size of the fees for each type of Account is specified on the pricing page of our Website.

You may request an unconditional refund of your game play package buying fee by contacting info@gamewheel.com within 7 days of the Buying Date. If you request a refund, your game play package fee will be refunded to the credit card you used to initially pay the game play package fee. If you have already used parts of the Services prior to requesting a refund, we will refund your game play package fee pro rata based on the percentage of hosting services included in your Enterprise Account not yet used on the date on which the refund is requested.

Following your initial subscription period, your subscription will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same length, at a cost of the then-current non-promotional subscription fee for your subscription type. To avoid automatic renewal of your subscription, you must email info@gamewheel.com before the end of your then-current subscription period to de-activate your subscription. If you de-activate, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term. Your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current subscription term expires. If you request de-activation of your account more than 7 days after the Activation Date, you will not be eligible for a pro-rated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.

In addition to subscription fees for Paid Accounts, the use of hosting services above the volume included in your Account tier, as specified on the Website, is subject to additional fees. The cost of hosting services may vary based on the volume of services purchased, as defined on the Website.

You may request a refund of hosting fees by contacting info@gamewheel.com within 7 days of the purchase date. In the event that you request a refund of hosting fees, the fees will be refunded to you pro rata based on the percentage of hosting services not yet used on the date on which the refund is requested.

If you sign up for a Enterprise Account, purchase additional hosting services or purchase custom artwork, you agree to allow our third party service providers to store your payment card information.  You also agree to pay all fees charged to your Account based on Gamewheel’s fees, charges, and billing terms then in effect as shown on the applicable pricing page of the Website. If you have a balance due on any Account, you agree that Gamewheel may, and you hereby authorize Gamewheel to, charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or such other payment method accepted by Gamewheel, or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees or other applicable charges.
