Why? Because credible threats! 💸

What you should know

1. You'll get charged each time you go off track
2. The pledge increases each time (until your pledge cap)
3. There's a one week delay for adjustments to the goal...
4. ...including quitting it

But don't worry!

1. We won't charge you if you keep your datapoints on track
2. We email you before charging your card, in case anything went wrong (like any kind of technical problem or confusion or illness)
3. If you reply to that email, we believe you and cancel the charge
4. (Unless you weaselproof yourself!)
5. Deadman switch! If you stop using Beeminder altogether, we'll (eventually) stop charging you
