If You are using any of the Services described below, the terms corresponding to those product(s) apply to your use.
We periodically update this page, so please check back here for current information.
For paying plans, the withdrawal of your payment method will result in immediate suspension of your use of the Services. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at all times directly in your Brevo account. An upgrade means the order of additional quotas of electronic communications for various channels (emails, SMS, WhatsApp messages, push notifications), Seats or features.
Seats
To purchase a Seat, You can either (i) purchase the Seat in advance and invite the User at any point during your Subscription (but the billing of the Seat will start as soon as it is purchased), or (ii)invite a user directly, which will trigger the automatic billing of a Seat, based on the User’s confirmation of the invitation. The multi-User features is describedhere.
Seats are sold as an add-on and automatically become part of your Subscription once purchased. Seats are renewed automatically with your Subscription.
Quotas of emails, SMS, WhatsApp messages and push Subscribers
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
Quotas of emails, SMS, WhatsApp messages and Subscribers are only activated in your account once You have paid for your Subscription. In case of late payment, You can still access your account but are not able and not authorized to use the Services, in particular to use your quotas to send electronic communications.
For billing purposes, the quotas are counted as follows:
- For the email channel: We count the number of emails available to be sent from our Software. Each email sent by You counts as one unit, regardless of the content or the actual delivery of the email. Your sending capacity will be suspended if/when You reach the sending limit specified in your Subscription.
- For the push notification channel (when available on your plan): We count the number of targeted individuals who subscribed to the Push notifications (the “Subscribers”). The Subscribers limit described in the Pricing and Features Pages applies per campaign. It means that one individual could be counted more than once, if your campaign targets an individual who have subscribed to more than one of your websites or mobile applications.
For pay as you go Services:
- For the SMS channel (when available on your plan): the number of credits purchased in pay as you go,
- For the WhatsApp channel (when available on your plan): the number of credits purchased in pay as you go.
The email quotas are allocated on a monthly basis: it means that We count a period of one month (that can consist of 30 or 31 days depending on the month) from your Subscription anniversary date and time (timestamped at the moment you validate your Subscription) until We reset your unused quotas on the anniversary date of the next month. This reset means that all unused electronic communication quotas are cancelled before the start of the next Subscription month. The reset applies regardless of the duration of your Subscription.
Pay-as-you-go
You can only purchase Pay-as-you-go services if You have an ongoing Subscription.
Once logged in the Software, or by subscribing via our Pay as you go page (https://www.brevo.com/pricing/pay-as-you-go/), You can purchase SMS and/or, in case you subscribed to the Professional plan, WhatsApp messages on a pay-as-you-go basis. To send SMS and/or WhatsApp messages via our Services, You must purchase an amount of credits in advance. One credit allows You to send a certain number of SMS or WhatsApp messages in a given country or geographical area (hereinafter the “Ratio”). Each credit is prepaid and remains valid only for a duration of twelve (12) months from its date of your purchase (the “Validity Period”). At the time of your purchase, the Ratio is indicated on the Site for informational purposes only. During the Validity Period, the Ratio of both SMS and/or WhatsApp messages depends on the exchange rates applied to Us when purchasing the credits and on the market prices, applied by our suppliers and third parties, and may therefore evolve during the performance of the Terms. When an applicable exchange rate is updated or when a change of price is notified to Us by our SMS suppliers or Meta, We might immediately apply with retroactive effect the new Ratio to You. Brevo does not commit to maintaining the commercial discounts on WhatsApp messages that may be displayed from time to time on the Pay as you go page of the Site insofar as Meta may influence the availability of these discounts. Your use of the WhatsApp messages features is subject and limited to the WhatsApp terms and conditions available in our list of Third Party Products listed in this Appendix.
