What is paid on top of the fee
- Age verification is paid per use, not by subscription.
- The remote technician is prepaid below GROW and included on GROW.
- The payment provider you contract charges its own fee on card transactions, under your contract with them. uNobo Connect does not charge it.
- The machine itself is not part of the tariff.
