Accordingly, the customer can expand the number of user seats subscribed at any time by paying the proportional share for the current billing period, and the new total amount in the next.
The customer can also reduce the number of users subscribed, in which case the paid but not enjoyed amount will be added as credit to the user account in order to be used to cover future payments. This credit will be lost if the user explicitly removes the account.
