    {
      "question": "Will I still be charged for usage after I downgrade?",

    },
    {
      "question": "Can I get a refund for the unused part of the month?",
      "answer": "No. All fees are non-refundable; a pro-rated refund only applies if Vercel itself terminates your account without cause."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I pay for Vercel Pro annually?",
      "answer": "No. Pro supports monthly card payments only; annual billing is Enterprise-only."

    {
      "question": "What happens to my team members when I downgrade to Hobby?",
      "answer": "All active members except the original owner are removed from the team."
    },
    {
      "question": "I'm on a Pro trial. How do I avoid being charged?",
      "answer": "Trials end after 14 days or when usage limits are exceeded, and charge only if a payment method is on file - without one the team reverts to Hobby automatically. You can also end the trial early with the Downgrade button on the Billing page."
    },
    {
      "question": "What if I just stop paying instead of downgrading?",
      "answer": "Overdue accounts are restricted: no new projects, members or redeploys. If a renewal stays unpaid for 14 days, all deployments on the account are paused."
