| Annual Price | $0 | $102 | $306 |
| Cryptoback™Rewards | 2% | 4% | 8% |
3.2 You can upgrade your Paid Subscription via the Wirex app at any time. This upgrade is subject to the provision at clause 4.4 of these Terms.
3.3 Paid Subscriptions
(a) Paid Subscriptions are active for one year (12 calendar months). For example, if a user pays for a Paid Subscription on 7 November 2020, their Paid Subscription will be valid until 6 November 2021.
(b) A 15% discount is provided to customers who wish to pay for their Paid Subscriptions upfront for the 12-month term. Otherwise, the monthly fees set out at clause 3.1 of these Terms apply.
(c) If a user wishes to upgrade their Paid Subscription above their existing Paid Subscription, they can do so via the Wirex app at any time. If they wish to upgrade their Paid Subscription, the User will be invalidating their existing Paid Subscription. A new Paid Subscription term will then be created for the User, and the 12-month period restarts at the point of the Paid Subscription upgrade.
4.1 You have the right to withdraw from a Paid Subscription and move to the Free Subscription for a period of 14 calendar days after the start of the Paid Subscription (the ‘Cooling Off Period’). The Cooling Off Period commences on the day that your Paid Subscription is activated and ends 14 calendar days later. If you decide to withdraw from the Paid Subscription during the Cooling Off Period you will receive a full refund. However, your right to a refund will be waived if you make a transaction of any kind during the Cooling Off Period.
4.2 If you wish to downgrade your Paid Subscription to a Free Subscription you have the right to do this without paying a Break Fee during the first 90 days from the day that your Paid Subscription is activated (the ‘Introductory Period’). To do so please email us at supportescalations@wirexapp.com with “Subscription Downgrade to Standard” (or wording of similar effect) in the subject line.
4.3 If you have had a Premium or Elite Paid Subscription and have subsequently downgraded, you can upgrade again at any time. However, if your downgrade occurred less than 12 months ago, the Introductory Period and its terms do not apply. You can downgrade your Paid Subscription to the Free Subscription at any time by contacting the Wirex Support team. However:
(a) if you wish to downgrade within the first 10 months of your Paid Subscription period (but after any applicable Introductory Period) Wirex will charge a fee which equals to 1 month’s Paid Subscription fee ie., 999 X-Points for Premium and 2,999 for Elite (‘Break Fee’).
(b) If you wish to downgrade 2 months (or less) before your annual contract expires, Wirex will not charge a Break Fee; it will only charge for payment due for the current period.
4.4 If you do not actively downgrade your Paid Subscription to the Free Subscription at least 1 day before the next period of your Subscription begins, it will be assumed that you wish to continue with your existing subscription and any Paid Subscriptions that have not been downgraded to Free Subscription will be renewed on the same basis. For instance, if you do not actively cancel your Paid Subscription which is due to start on 10 December 2020, your Paid Subscription will renew on that date and will subsist until 9 December 2021.
4.5 If a user wishes to upgrade their Paid Subscription, for example from a Premium to an Elite subscription, a new Paid Subscription term will start, and the previous Paid Subscription will be cancelled.
4.6 If a User does not hold sufficient funds in their Wirex account to pay the fee for their Paid Subscription, they will have 2 weeks after this where they can continue to use the benefits of their existing Paid Subscription at no cost (‘Preferential Period’), to give the user time to top-up their X-Points balance before turning off their Paid Subscription benefits. If no top-up is made by the end of the Preferential Period, your Paid Subscription will be temporarily frozen i.e.., the user cannot use any Paid Subscription benefits, and will be limited to those available on the Free Subscription.
4.7 If no top-up is made for 3 consecutive months and you are paying monthly for a Paid Subscription, you will be automatically downgraded to a Free Subscription. Should a User wish to restart their Paid Subscription following the automatic downgrade, they can do so via the Wirex app.
5.1 X-Points are made available to Wirex users through the Wirex Service.
5.2 The rewards set out at clause 3 above are available to users of the Wirex Service where they have been verified in accordance with the General Terms.
6.1 A number of merchant transactions are excluded from the Subscription programme. Further details can be found at this link: https://wirexapp.com/help/article/cryptobacktm-exceptions-and-limitations-that-you-need-to-know-1347.
6.2 The amount of Cryptoback™ which can be awarded through this Subscription programme will be capped; these limits will be dependent on the Subscription selected by you. Further information can be found on https://wirexapp.com/help/category/wirex-cryptobacktm-0390.
6.3 If you have not downgraded your Paid Subscription pursuant to clause 4 of these Terms and you have not paid the fees for your Paid Subscription, Wirex reserves the right to auto-convert your funds from any existing wallet you have with Wirex to ensure that those fees are met accordingly. If this action is required to be taken by Wirex, Wirex will charge a handling fee which equals 25% of your Paid Subscription price.

You should seek professional advice if you are unsure about whether you need to pay any tax and/ or how much tax you need to pay.
