Your rights and responsibilities.

We have kept the above as short as possible, and we will make videos for the complicated bits where applicable.

3.1 Service Options, Trial Periods, Billing, Renewal, and Cancelation

Our Services have varying options for subscription and delivery.

We offer monthly, quarterly and annual subscriptions (“our Services Options”). All our paid Services are prepaid. To ensure you do not have interruptions to the use of our Services, we allow you to choose an automatic renewal method for any of our Service Options.

We offer trial periods of at least one month to try out most of our Services. To enjoy our offer of trial periods, however, we will require that you pay for a month's subscription at least. Not to worry, our services are exceptional, and you are unlikely to regret subscribing. Where you choose the automatic renewal option, you may cancel your automatic subscription at any time before the end of your current subscription in which case, your chosen Service Option subscription will end on the expiry date of your current subscription. Where your renewal method is not automatic, your subscription will automatically terminate at the end of the Service Option you have subscribed for. Please note that where you choose to cancel a subscription, you will not be entitled to a refund for any reason whatsoever.
