[Sponsorship and Clutch Verified](https://help.clutch.co/en/knowledge/for-service-providers?hsLang=en#sponsorship-and-clutch-verified) # What Are the Billing Terms for Sponsorship and Clutch Verified? ## Both Sponsorship and Clutch Verified require a 12-month annual agreement, but billing cycles differ by product. ### **Minimum Commitment** - **Sponsorship** and **Clutch Verified** both require a **12-month annual agreement.** - Early cancellation is not available during the initial 12-month term. ### **Billing Cycles** - **Sponsorship** - Billing begins upon placement of the sponsorship, not when payment is submitted. - Invoices are billed automatically on a **month-to-month** basis. - **Clutch Verified** - Billed for the **full 12-month cost upfront** in a single payment. ### **Making Changes to Your Purchase** - You may **upgrade** your purchase within the initial 12 months, but you cannot downgrade or cancel before the term ends. - Upgrade costs are billed on a **pro-rata basis** until your next billing date. - After that, billing continues on the original schedule at the new subscription price. ### **Payment Methods** To update your payment method, please contact **billing@clutch.co**. ### **Canceling a Subscription** After your initial 12-month contract term, you may cancel either your *Sponsorship* or *Clutch Verified* subscription.   - **For Sponsorship cancellations:** Contact your **Account Manager** at least five (5) business days before your renewal date. - **For Clutch Verified cancellations:** Contact our **Support team** at least five (5) business days before your renewal date.   This ensures your cancellation request is processed before your product automatically renews for the next term. ### **Not Sure if Sponsorship is Right for You?** Our team can help you determine whether Sponsorship or Clutch Verified is the best option for your business. 👉 [**Contact Us**](https://help.clutch.co/help-center-book-call?hsLang=en) for tailored recommendations.   -
