Subscription Fees & Terms

Spectora/BMHI offers a range of subscription tiers or plans within its Services (each a “Plan”). Each plan includes a different set or Services that may be provided in the given month of the subscription period.

A Plan is selected as part of your registration for Spectora/BMHI Services, which may begin as a Free Trial. Each Plan will have a subscription period based on the period chosen (monthly or annually), starting on the day of payment. You will be billed for the Plan monthly or annually, but regardless of the billing period chosen, you are responsible for the subscription fees for the entire period chosen.

At the end of your current subscription period, your Plan will automatically renew for a subscription period equal to your prior subscription period unless you provide Spectora/BMHI with email notice (at [email protected]) of your intent not to renew or your intent to upgrade or downgrade your Plan at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current subscription period.

You can view details of your Plan, including pricing and the end date of your subscription period, by logging into your account on the Spectora website and clicking on the “Settings” page.

Billing Policies

Subscription fees for your Plan are billed in advance of each billing cycle.
No refunds or credits will be provided for partial or unused months or days of service in the event of cancellation of your Plan.
If you upgrade your Plan, you will immediately be charged for the cost of the upgraded Plan, minus a pro-rated credit to reflect the remaining duration of your subscription period. Your billing period will reset to begin at the time of upgrade. You will be charged the full amount of the new and current Plan, as provided on our Pricing page, beginning with your next billing cycle.
Downgrades go into effect on the next billing cycle.
Any special offers or discounts on Services or previous subscriptions may not apply to a renewed subscription, including automatic renewals.
Free Trial

Your subscription to the Services may begin with a free trial in which you have access to the Sites and Services for five (5) published inspections.

If you have not provided billing information and selected a Plan at the conclusion of your 5 inspections, you will still have access to your dashboard and existing reports, but you will lose access to the home inspection report writer, the ability to create a new report and all other Services. You will have the ability to enter billing information and subscribe at any time.

A Completed Inspection is defined as a completed and delivered inspection report to a paying customer, by PDF or HTML link, as defined by our database records.

Spectora/BMHI reserves the right to modify, extend, shorten, cancel or limit the free trial period without notice at any time.
