All annual subscriptions are set auto-renew and will auto-renew until canceled.

Auto-renewing subscriptions will continue for the initial term and then will automatically renew for successive periods generally equal to the initial term of the subscription.
Renewals for paid subscriptions can be turned off at any time in 1-click on the “My Accounts” page or by contacting us by phone or email. Canceling renewals stop all future renewals from being charged, however, previous charges before the date of cancellation will not be returned.
Free Trials will automatically charge your credit card an annual fee once the trial period is over. You can cancel your subscription and receive a refund within 15 days of when your annual subscription is charged. Post the 15th day, you will not receive a prorated refund for the remainder of your subscription.
You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable.

These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.
