TeraCLOUD Payment Method
Payment for TeraCLOUD capacity upgrades is handled through PayPal subscriptions which are automatically recurring.
A valid PayPal account is required for capacity upgrades. Two types of currencies, US Dollars and Japanese Yen, are accepted as valid payment alternatives to provide additional flexibility for global TeraCLOUD subscribers.
To reflect the upgrade capacity pricing in USD currency format, users must have their Web Browser language set to English. If a user notices that the desired currency type isn't showing up, please check your browser's current language settings.
If the language of the Web Browser is not English, please change it and try upgrading again. Please review that the currency matches the desired currency you wish to pay in. TeraCloud Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any mistakes made if the wrong currency is selected.
For more information about PayPal, or to sign up for an account, please refer to the PayPal website .

Important Notice
- If the PayPal subscription is canceled, the corresponding TeraCLOUD capacity upgrade will deactivate at the end of the current subscription period.
