Enterprise

Unlimited printers. Custom SLAs, dedicated onboarding.

Current pricing is available at prestilon.com or by contacting our sales team. All prices are listed in EUR. Prices shown are exclusive of applicable taxes. For business customers (B2B), VAT is applied according to the reverse-charge mechanism where applicable. For consumers (B2C) within the EU, applicable VAT will be calculated and displayed at checkout before payment.

02
Billing Cycle

Subscriptions are billed on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the plan you select at checkout. Annual plans offer a discounted rate compared to monthly billing.

  • Your billing cycle begins on the date your subscription is activated
  • Renewal charges are automatically applied on the same day each month or year
  • You will receive an invoice by email before each renewal
  • Annual plan billing is charged in full upfront at the start of each year
03
Payment Methods

We accept the following payment methods:

  • Credit and debit cards — Visa, Mastercard, American Express
  • Bank transfer — available for annual Enterprise plans on request

All payments are processed securely through our payment provider. PRESTILON does not store your full card details — these are handled directly by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processor.

04
Free Trial

Where a free trial is offered, you may use PRESTILON at no charge for the duration of the trial period. No payment is taken during the trial.

06
Refund Policy
Scope — Initial Purchase Only
Refunds are available only for the initial purchase of a new subscription. Automatic renewal charges, mid-cycle upgrades, and any subsequent billing cycles are not eligible for a refund under this policy. If you wish to stop being charged, you must cancel your subscription before the next renewal date.
✓ Eligible for Refund
  • You request a refund within 14 days of your initial subscription purchase — applies equally to monthly and annual plans
  • You experienced a verified technical failure caused by our platform that we were unable to resolve within a reasonable timeframe
  • You were charged incorrectly or twice due to a billing error on our part
✗ Not Eligible for Refund
  • Requests submitted after 14 days from the initial purchase date
  • Renewal charges — automatic monthly or annual renewals are not refundable; cancel before renewal to avoid future charges
  • Partial month or partial year refunds after active use of the service
  • Cancellations due to change of mind after the 14-day refund window has passed
  • Fees for additional printer seats already activated and used
Refund Processing Time
Approved refunds are processed within 5–10 business days. The refund will be returned to the original payment method used at purchase. Processing time may vary depending on your bank or card provider.
07
EU Statutory Withdrawal Rights

If you are located in the European Union, you are normally entitled to a 14-day right of withdrawal under EU Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights. However, for digital services and software, this right expires as soon as service delivery begins.

Waiver of Withdrawal Right
By activating your subscription and logging into the PRESTILON local backend for the first time, you expressly acknowledge and agree that service delivery begins immediately. Accordingly, you waive your statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content and services under EU law, as permitted by Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU.

You will be asked to confirm this waiver at the point of purchase. A copy of your confirmation will be included in your invoice email.

This does not affect your rights under our Refund Policy (Section 6), which may provide broader protections in certain circumstances.

08
Subscription Suspension & Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we will notify you immediately by email and retry the charge automatically over the following 7 days.

  • You will receive an email notification on the day of the failed payment
  • A second attempt will be made after 3 days
  • A final attempt will be made after 7 days
  • If all three attempts fail, your subscription is suspended — not deleted
What "Suspended" means
A suspended account retains all your data, hardware bindings, and settings. The PRESTILON backend will continue running in read-only mode — monitoring remains active but automated interventions are paused. Your account can be fully reactivated at any time by completing the outstanding payment from your account dashboard. No data is deleted during suspension.
09
Plan Changes (Upgrade / Downgrade)

You may upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from your account dashboard.

  • Upgrades take effect immediately. You will be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the current billing period.
  • Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing period. You will continue to have access to your current plan until then.
  • If a downgrade reduces your printer limit below your currently bound devices, you will be prompted to manually remove hardware bindings before the change takes effect.
Automatic Unbinding
If hardware bindings are not manually reduced to fit the new plan limits before the downgrade takes effect, PRESTILON reserves the right to automatically unbind devices starting from the oldest registration date until the binding count matches the new plan limit. You will receive an email notification listing which devices were unbound. Unbound devices can be re-registered at any time if you upgrade your plan.
10
Price Changes

PRESTILON reserves the right to modify subscription pricing at any time. We will notify you by email at least 30 days in advance of any price change.

If you do not agree to the new pricing, you may cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated pricing.

11
Payment Disputes

Before initiating a chargeback with your bank or card provider, we strongly encourage you to contact us first. Most billing issues can be resolved quickly by our support team.

Chargeback Notice
If you initiate a chargeback without prior contact, your account may be suspended pending investigation. We reserve the right to contest chargebacks where service was delivered as described and our refund policy was not followed.

We are committed to resolving any billing issue fairly and promptly. Please contact us and we will work with you to find a resolution.
