Wordwall Terms of Use

Wordwall now says that if the tax in your area changes, your renewal bill changes too — and they don't consider that a price change. That wording matters: any notice or consent rules that would normally apply to a price increase won't kick in for a tax change. So the amount taken from your card on renewal can be higher than last time with no warning. The underlying tax is set by your government, not by Wordwall, which limits how much extra they can take this way, but you still bear the difference.

“Taxes are applied to every payment, including renewals, based on the rules in your location at the time. This means the tax on a renewal may differ from your first payment, changing the total charged. A change in tax is not a change to the price.”

What you can do — Check the exact total on your renewal receipt rather than assuming it matches your first payment, and cancel before the renewal date if the new total isn't worth it to you.

The price you see while browsing plans is now explicitly before tax. The real amount you pay only shows up at checkout, so the plan may cost more than the headline figure suggested — how much more depends on where you live.

“Prices exclude applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. We may add any taxes required by the law in your location, calculated at checkout.”

What you can do — Read the final total on the checkout page before confirming payment, not the price on the plans page.
