3. Subscription Plans & Billing Cycle
CustomsWave offers Free, Starter ($49/month), Professional ($99/month), and Enterprise (Custom) plans billed in United States Dollars (USD) or equivalent supported currencies through our authorized payment partner, Razorpay.
- Billing Cycle: Subscriptions are billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis starting from the date of initial payment.

5. Tariff & Regulatory Disclaimer
While CustomsWave uses rigorous classification methodologies, official CBP CROSS rulings, and General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), tariff schedules and customs regulations are subject to government amendments and jurisdictional interpretation. Platform calculations and advisor reviews constitute compliance intelligence and recommendations, but do not replace formal binding ruling requests (e.g. eRulings) submitted directly to customs authorities.

Customers retain full ownership of all uploaded product specifications, technical documents, CAD files, and proprietary formulas. CustomsWave maintains strict confidentiality and does not disclose customer inventory data to third parties without explicit authorization.
7. Cancellation & Account Termination
You may cancel your subscription at any time directly through your account dashboard or by emailing contact@qwantome.com. Upon cancellation, your account will remain active at your paid tier until the conclusion of your current paid billing period.
