Payment Process

Initial Registration for Subscription Services

All payments must be made online via the Acadia website at the point of subscribing to a Service.

For monthly subscription payments, we accept all major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express and UnionPay. We also accept payment via PayPal.

For all services paid for annually, payment is only accepted via direct bank transfer.

The Acadia website is secure and uses SSL encryption on all payment methods.

Rolling Subscription Services

Where Services are not subject to a minimum term contract, as listed on the company site, payment will be taken on a monthly recurring basis, on the same date each month, commencing with initial payment on the date of registration for the rolling subscription service.

Rolling subscription services can be upgraded, downgraded, or cancelled at any time.

Minimum Contract Subscription Services

Where Services are subject to a minimum term contract, as listed on the company site, payment will be taken on a monthly recurring basis, on the same date each month, commencing with initial payment on the date of registration for the minimum contract subscription service.

Minimum contract subscription services are subject to a minimum contract term, as displayed on the company site.

Notice of a Client’s intention to cancel a minimum contract subscription service must be given to Acadia in writing, at least 30 day’s prior to the end of the contracted term.

If notice is not given by the Client in line with the notice requirements set out in these Terms and Conditions, the minimum term contract will automatically renew for another period of the same length of the initial contracted term.

During this period, monthly payments will continue to be taken on a recurring basis, on the same date each month, on the date of initial registration for the minimum contract subscription service, in line with the above.

In essence, the minimum contract term and payment process will roll over.

• Client attempts to inflict damage on the reputation or working operations of Acadia or any of its sister websites or partners.

If you cancel paid services part way through the period covered by the most recent fee, Acadia will not provide you with a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees as all fees paid for the Services are non-refundable.
