OpenRate98 does not guarantee sales, replies, business outcomes, WhatsApp availability, data accuracy, or campaign performance.

We may suspend or restrict accounts that appear fake, abusive, duplicate, suspicious, or created to bypass usage limits.
4. Subscriptions, Plans, and Lead Credits
OpenRate98 may offer free and paid plans.
Lead credits represent collected business phone-number leads, not guaranteed WhatsApp numbers.
Your plan may include limits such as:
- Monthly lead credits
- Total free credits
- Campaign creation limits
- CSV import limits
- Search limits
- Feature access limits
- Top-up eligibility
Monthly credits may reset each billing cycle unless otherwise stated. Unused monthly credits do not automatically roll over unless specifically offered in writing.
We may change plan limits, pricing, or package structure in the future. Changes will not remove credits already purchased unless required due to fraud, abuse, chargebacks, or violation of these Terms.
5. Free Plan and Abuse Prevention
The free plan is intended for testing OpenRate98.
You may not abuse free credits by:
- Creating multiple accounts
- Using disposable or temporary email addresses
- Reusing referral links for fake accounts
- Using automated signup tools
- Sharing devices or IP patterns to bypass limits
- Attempting to reset or manipulate usage limits
- Importing or generating leads in a way that violates account restrictions
OpenRate98 may use email verification, phone verification, device signals, IP checks, manual review, and other abuse-prevention methods to protect the platform.
We may deny, reduce, pause, or remove free credits if abuse is suspected.
6. Payments and Billing
Paid subscriptions and lead top-ups may be processed through third-party payment providers such as Stripe.
By purchasing a plan or top-up, you agree to pay the listed price and any applicable taxes or fees.
You are responsible for keeping your billing information accurate and up to date.
Subscription access may be paused, downgraded, or canceled if payment fails.
7. Refunds
Unless required by law or separately agreed in writing, payments for subscriptions, lead credits, and top-ups are generally non-refundable once access or credits are issued.
We may consider refund requests case by case, especially for duplicate charges, billing errors, or technical failures that prevent platform access.
Refund requests can be sent to support@openrate98.xyz.
