Expert Tips

If you cancel an annual subscription within the first 11 months of your subscription year, your access and other benefits will end immediately and you will receive a refund prorated to the day.

If you cancel in the final 30 days of your subscription year, the cancellation will not take effect until the end of your current billing period. Your access and privileges will continue to the end of the current billing period, and you will not receive a refund.

Cancellations are effective the following billing cycle. You will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle. You will continue to have the same access and benefits of your product for the remainder of the current billing period.
