What forms of payment do you accept?

We are implemented a new billing system in Fall 2000. To save time (both yours and ours), this system makes all payments automatically. We only accept two payment methods: credit card or ACH. ACH is an automatic withdrawal of funds from your checking account. All you need to use this payment method is enter the name on the checking account, routing number (as seen on the bottom of a check, is the first set of numbers between the two colons), and the account number (which is the second set of numbers on the bottom of the check between the quotation marks). At this time we are only accepting checks.

How do I upgrade or downgrade an account?

You can upgrade or downgrade an account at any time. If you upgrade or downgrade in the middle of a billing cycle you will lose your first month paid fees. You will be credited the pro-rated fees for time left in cycle, and charged for the new account plan as of that day. If you upgrade or downgrade at the end of a cycle, you will not be charged any additional fees; you will just be billed for the new plan. Please fax this request with the plan of choice, signature, and Credit Card or ACH information to bill or credit.

When are refunds issued?

Refunds are only issued in the first 30 days. They usually take 5-7 days but can take longer. If you are concerned that you are not going to receive your refund, please send an email to billing@buildersplanet.com so we can research your account.

How can I cancel an account?

To cancel a domain, please call us at 877-355-6689 or 831-335-0475.

What if I signed up a domain name that was already taken?

Please check all domain names before signing up to ensure you do not make this mistake. You can perform a Who Is Search at Network Solutions, Inc., http://www.networksolutions.com/ or registrant of preference. If you signed up a domain name that is already registered by someone else, please email the billing department with the domain name, the transaction receipt, and a brief explanation of the problem. It can be refunded!

What if I made a typo when signing up my domain name?

Please clarify all information before submitting it. Registration is done automatically. If you have a typo error on the domain name that you signed up for, even if you contact us directly seconds afterwards, you are already charged and registered. We can cancel the account and issue a refund for the billing plan, but you will still have to pay the setup fee. A good suggestion is to just keep it because you have paid for it. You can park the domain, activate the site, or sell it to someone who wants it.

Why is my site suspended?

Your check was returned or credit card was declined.

I was double billed. How do I fix it?

Our sign-up form is extremely sensitive. If you double click, or hit submit twice, you will be double billed. If you are double billed you will receive two receipts via email with different order ID numbers. Cut and paste both of the emails onto one email and send it to the billing department (billing@buildersplanet.com) with a brief explanation of the circumstance. We will then make the necessary changes. If you did not receive dual receipts via email, but notice the duplicate transactions on your bank or credit card statement please fax the information to us so we can issue the credit.

What is my main account?

Your main account is the first account you signed up with us. If you end up canceling your main account, the second account signed up will become your main account. There is no switching of main accounts. You cannot choose which domain name is your main account once you have signed up.

Can I replace one account for another?

No, there is no transferring of accounts. Your only option is to cancel bad account(s), and sign up for new ones. You cannot replace one domain name with another. There is also no transferring of funds from one domain name to another.
