Support Boundaries

Media Grid LLC provides technical support to our Subscribers via our Support Center here. We provide support related to your account or the Cirrus Forecast Downloader software. We do not offer support for integrating the Service with other services or software.

Plans, Pricing, and Refunds

Upon creating an account on the Service, you are given a 14 day trial for one location with no credit card required. A credit card is required to continue the Service for the location on trial after 14 days or to activate any additional locations added to your account. A location is considered a geo-graphical area that is subscribed to the Service to receive audio weather forecasts for that specific area.

Upon adding or updating your payment information, you agree to be charged immediately for any expired locations (not paused/canceled) and any previous invoices that have not yet been paid in full. You also agree to be charged for any location on trial when the trial ends and the plan has not been paused/canceled.

  • Changing a plan for a location will prorate any prices or discounts that will be reflected on your next invoice.
  • Pausing/canceling a plan will allow the plan to continue until the end of the billing period/cycle. No refunds are provided.
  • If a plan for a location is paused/canceled or expired or if a payment method is added, the plan price will be updated to the current price for all respective locations when they become active again.
  • When adding an additional location to your account and you have a payment information on file, you will be charged the prorated amount for the remaining of the billing cycle within 48 hours.

The Service by default is a pay-as-you-go service and as such there are no cancellation fees or refunds provided when on a monthly billing cycle. However, if a custom billing cycle (more than one month) was mutually agreed upon, the following terms apply:

  • If any type of discount was given for the Service, upon cancellation, there are no cancellation fees or refunds provided for the remaining subscription period. The Service will continue until the end of your billing cycle.
  • If no discounts were given, a refund may be provided at the discretion of Media Grid LLC. If a refund is provided, you must pay a cancellation fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the refund amount or the amount equal to one-month's subscription fee, whichever is greater. The refund amount will be calculated from the beginning of the following month when the refund was requested through the end of the subscription period. The Service will continue through the end of the current month in which the refund was requested.

Media Grid LLC reserves the right to change plan pricing, discounts, fees, or charges at any time.

Invoicing and Payment

You agree that Media Grid LLC shall be permitted to charge your credit card or debit your bank account via ACH on a monthly, annual, or other agreed upon basis in advance of providing services. Payment is due upon invoicing. Service may be interrupted on accounts that reach 7 days past due.
