Yes. In addition to the 4 free features already included; the following features can be added to your data room:
Please note that it costs €5 per user/monthly for each additional feature added.
No, once you have purchased additional feature(s), it is not possible to remove or exchange them.
The minimum number of user licenses is 10 and the maximum number that can be purchased in the same checkout process is 100.
You should sign into the Drooms FLEX and click on the ‘Account’ tab. On the data room tile you can see how many unused user licenses are left.
Yes, you can downgrade the user licenses to the minimum mandatory amount of 10. However, they first need to be removed from the data room. It is important to note that if you downgrade the user licenses during the current billing month, the change will apply immediately, but only the upcoming invoice will be reduced.
Go to the ‘Account’ page in our online shop and click on the button ‘Upgrade to FLEX’. This will open a window with the upgrade options. Click on ‘Buy now’. Customise your data room and then checkout. All the data uploaded in the free room will still be available in the upgraded data room. Please make sure you do not book an entirely new data room if you want to keep the data.
Yes. Upgrading the free room is still possible up to 4 weeks after the trial period has ended. After that the data room is deleted.
No, we don’t initiate a refund when you downgrade the number of user licenses’ you have. This holds true even when the user licenses are downgraded on the same day they are bought.
Downgrading user licenses will affect the amount paid on a monthly basis. Blocking users only affects the access granted to the data room. This means, you will still be charged for the blocked (temporarily restricted) users. To enable a downgrade of user licenses however, you must first block the relevant users from the data room (if said licenses are in use). For more information please refer to the Drooms FLEX Terms & Conditions of Contract.
The Drooms FLEX billing/subscription stops.
Drooms FLEX data room customers are billed monthly, on the same day, for recurring payments. For instance, if you bought a room on the 25th of May, you would receive the next bill on the 25th of June at 00:00h. Only in special cases, such as if you bought a room on 31st of the month, would you be billed on the 30th during months containing 30 days.
No, the currency which is chosen during the very first check-out process is set up as the default currency for any payments made. The currency depends on the billing address’s country.
Currently, we support card payments for Mastercard, Visa and PayPal. Additional, local payment methods will be added in the near future.
The default payment method is marked as ‘default’. You can, at any time, add a new payment method and mark it as ‘default’ or do so later on. If there is only one payment method, it must be the default one. Managing payment methods can be done on the Drooms FLEX ‘Settings’ page. If the first or new default payment method is saved as a credit card, the customer will have to verify his/her identity using a 3D security process.
Every e-commerce business offering a credit card payment option has to implement 3D security. It’s basically just a Two-Factor Authentication process requiring the entering of a code sent via SMS by the customers bank.
Yes, you can do this by selecting the option available under ‘More’ on the payment method tile, which can be found on the ‘Settings’ page. This is only possible if it is not the default payment method. If you want to delete a default payment method, first set another payment method as ‘default’.
If a recurring payment fails for any reason, we automatically restrict all user access to the platform until the payment has been settled. If this happens, you will be informed by email regarding the next steps to take. Once the payment method issue is resolved, please retry making the payment by clicking ‘Retry’ on the ‘Billing’ page.If the data room is not paid one month after the recurring payment fails, the data room will be archived/deleted permanently.
The billing page is only available to the data room owner. You should sign into the Drooms FLEX and click on the ‘Billing’ tab in the navigation bar. There you can access PDF and Excel sheet versions of the billing history (from the 1st day to the last invoice billed).
The next billing date will be displayed at the bottom of your ‘Account’ page in the Drooms FLEX.
Yes, go to the ‘Settings’ page, click on ‘More’ in the payment method window and select ‘Edit billing address’. Don’t forget to save your changes!
Yes, you can do so by clicking on ‘More’ and then selecting ‘Cancel data room’ for that particular data room on the ‘Account’ page online. However, we do not issue a refund. As you pay upfront for the data room, you can use the data room until the end of the billing/subscription period. After that the data room will be closed and the subscription will end.
Yes, you can reactivate a canceled data room simply by clicking on the ‘Reactivate’ button on the ‘Account’ page. If you do not reactivate the canceled data room before the next billing date (displayed next to the ‘reactivate’ button), the data room will be closed.
Yes, you can still reactivate your room 4 weeks after it was closed by clicking on the ‘Reactivate’ button. Then you will need to proceed to checkout and pay pro-rata until the next billing date. The billing date does not change. The deadline for reactivating a data room is displayed next to the ‘Reactivate’ button on the data room tile. After that date, if not reactivated, the data room will be deleted/archived.
No, if the room is unpaid and the debt is not covered until the next billing month, subscription will automatically be cancelled.
Data room archive is basically a copy of your data room in form of USB, including the different reports if wanted.
To order data room archive please follow the few simple steps:
Please don’t forget to grant access to “Administrator, Drooms” in the Administrators’ group, otherwise Drooms won’t be able to create the archives.
The archives are normally created within 12 to 24 hours and handed over to our logistics partner responsible for their timely delivery.
No, data room archive can only be ordered if the data room is active or canceled.
One data room. Many possibilities.
