## How to pay

You buy a plan from the dashboard, signed in with your wallet. Payment is made in USDT on BNB Smart Chain or USDC on Base, from the wallet you signed in with.

| Network | Token | Contract address | Decimals |
|---|---|---|---|
| BNB Smart Chain | USDT | `0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955` | 18 |
| Base | USDC | `0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913` | 6 |

The receiving address for all payments is `0x1b5b358efea2722f1da4cd4b6345bead0a87867f`.

The plan starts when the payment is final on its network: about one minute on BNB Smart Chain, 15-25 minutes on Base. You pay the network fee of your transaction yourself.

## End of a period

There is no automatic charge. When your paid period ends, your app is on Free at once. To continue, buy again; the new period starts from the current end.

The dashboard shows a reminder 7 days and 1 day before the end.

## Upgrades and downgrades

Upgrading to a higher plan takes effect at once. The remaining time of your current paid plan is converted at monthly list prices and added to the new period. Downgrading is allowed after the current paid period ends.

## Trade fees

The Free plan has a trade fee of 0.25% taken on chain by the settlement contract. Paid plans have no Qiguard trade fee. This fee is separate from the plan price and never refunded.

## Receipts

After a successful payment, the dashboard shows a receipt with the transaction hash, the amount, and the period. You can view all your payments in the billing section of the dashboard.
