Plans and payment, in plain terms

Four steps, about a minute
The whole checkout happens on one page, and nothing is stored on khiar until the payment clears.
Choose a plan
Pick a plan and a billing period. The order summary updates as you choose, before you commit to anything.
Review the order
Check the plan, the period and the total, including any tax that applies where you live.
Pay on the secure page
Your card, PayPal or wallet details go straight to the payment provider, never through khiar.
Get access and a receipt
Access opens as soon as the payment clears, and a receipt arrives by email within a minute.
Everything about billing, spelled out
The questions people ask before their first payment, answered once so you do not have to search for them.
Billing period
Monthly or yearly, your choice. Yearly is billed once and works out at two months free. Nothing renews without a payment you have already agreed to.
Currency
All prices are in US dollars. If your bank account is in another currency, your bank converts the amount and may add its own small fee.
Taxes
Sales tax, VAT or GST is added at checkout when the rules where you live require it. The receipt shows the tax you paid, separately from the plan price.
Receipts and invoices
A receipt is emailed after every payment. Schools and institutions can ask for an invoice with a purchase-order number and their billing address.
Cancelling
Cancel any time from the link in your receipt email. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, and then simply stops.
Refunds
If a paid plan is not what you expected, write to us within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. Later renewals are not refunded, but you can cancel them before they run.
Failed payments
If a card is declined, the provider retries for three days and we email you. Access pauses only if the payment still has not gone through by then.
Changing plans
Move between Free, Collector and Classroom whenever you like. Upgrades start straight away and the unused part of your old period is credited.
Price changes
If a price ever changes, subscribers hear about it by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, and can cancel before the new price applies.
Education discount
Verified schools, students and public museums pay 40% less on any plan. Ask from the contact page and mention the institution.
Security
Payments run on a hosted checkout that meets PCI-DSS requirements. khiar stores your email and your plan, and never your card number.
What we never do
No card data on khiar's servers, no selling or sharing your email, no surprise upgrade, and no charge after you cancel.
Payment questions
Is khiar still free?
Yes. The six movements, the 24 artists and eight masterpieces stay free, with no account and no card. Paid plans add the complete gallery and tools for study and teaching.
Do I need an account to pay?
No account and no password. You give an email address at checkout so the receipt and your access can be sent to you.
Can I pay yearly instead of monthly?
Yes, on both paid plans. A yearly payment is charged once and costs two months less than paying monthly for a year.
What currency am I charged in?
US dollars. Your bank or card provider converts the amount if your account is in another currency.
How do I get a receipt or an invoice?
Receipts are emailed automatically. For an invoice with a purchase-order number, choose Classroom, or write to us before paying and we will set it up.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
You can cancel any time and keep access to the end of the paid period. A first payment is refundable within 14 days.
My card was declined. What happens now?
The provider retries for three days and emails you each time. Update the card from the link in that email, and access continues once a payment clears.
Do you offer a discount for schools?
Verified schools, students and public museums pay 40% less. Write from the contact page with the institution's name and we will apply it.
Start free, upgrade when you need more
