    Hi bambiji1, I'd be happy to answer that for you! 

    If you purchase the plan of your choice, you can cancel it immediately after. 

    That won't take effect immediately, it'll only cancel the renewal, and allow you to use your plan until then. 

    I hope this clarifies.

Thanks for the reply.

That shows me how to cancel a plan.

You should have an option to turn off "auto renew".

That is my complaint.

I just had this with another service, they auto renewed, and I asked to cancel and they did not refund me. I don't use that service and now have a year long nothing from them.

When you cancel your subscription your account doesn't get immediately downgraded to the Basic plan, but at the end of your current billing cycle Brunt 

 

I hope this clears things up and thank you for the feedback on this too. 

 

Let me know if you have anything else to add or ask.

    Thanks, that's a relief at least. Unlike GoPro, which just charges you for a year and says "look at our ToS".
