13. Upgrade Service
In the event that you subscribed to one or our services and wish to upgrade your service during the subscription period we offer an upgrade service. The two following examples further explain the offer.
If you have subscribed to Niggle It for a service and wish to upgrade your service to the next level, i.e. subscribed to Single and now require Household, Niggle It requires you to sign up for a minimum of one year of the new service and will credit the prorated amount remaining on the original service subscribed against the new subscription.
In the situation where a customer has subscribed for Single and wants to move to Household after say 6 months:
Originally paid 1 year Single $24.95
New service 1 year Household (A) $29.95
Credit for unused portion (B) ($12.50)
Balance $17.45
Transaction fee (C) $4.00
Amount to pay A-B+C $21.45
If you have subscribed to a service from Niggle It on a multi-year subscription and wish to upgrade your service to the next level, i.e. subscribed to Single and now require Household, Niggle It requires you to upgrade only for the remaining period originally contracted, i.e. 3 years originally subscribed, and Niggle It will credit the prorated amount remaining on the original service subscribed against the new subscription.
In the situation where a customer has subscribed for Single for three (3) years and wants to move to Household after say 1 year of a 3 year subscription:
Originally paid 3 year Single $59.95
Credit for unused portion (used 1 year) (B) ($39.95)
New service 2 year household (A) $54.95
Balance $15.00
Transaction fee (C) $4.00
Amount to pay A-B+C $19.00
