    How do you determine an active user?
    Any user that has admin, trainer or content editor permissions is considered an active user whilst their account is active.
    Any user with only student permissions is only considered an active user if they login within the month of the billing cycle.

    Each Nimbu account requires data storage, this include uploaded files and any data created in association of the account, such as HTML Articles. At the end of each month your Nimbu account will be charged at a rate of $1.50/gb (ex. GST) for each gigabyte of data being stored. Please note this is rounded up to the nearest gigabyte. For example if you are using 2.25gb of data storage you will be charged for 3gb. 

    When and how are the monthly usage fees calculated?
    Monthly usage charges are calculated and charged at the end of the month based on the usage throughout that month.

    Regardless of an update from your side we will continue to attempt to charge your payment method at 24 hours and 48 hours of being overdue.

    If your payment continues to be unsuccessful your account will be pending deactivation and inaccessible until payment is made.

    If your account remains pending deactivation due to unsuccessful payment for the remainder of the month, it will automatically be deactivated at the start of the new month. You will be notified that this outcome is pending at 14 days, 7 days, 48 hours and 24 hours.
