The Service Subscription may be subject to a recurring payment cycle, which could be monthly, annually, or otherwise specified.

Such changes may take effect immediately or at the start of your next billing cycle, as determined by the Company.
No Prorated Refunds: It is essential to note that any Service Change, whether an upgrade or downgrade, does not entitle you to receive prorated refunds for the unused portion of your current billing cycle. The Company does not provide refunds, credits, or adjustments for any remaining days in your current billing cycle when you make a Service Change.
Billing Cycle and Charges: The billing cycle for your Service Subscription will continue as per your chosen plan until the end of the current billing period, irrespective of any Service Change made during that time.

Inactive Accounts: The Company reserves the right to terminate or suspend accounts that remain inactive for an extended period of time. An account is considered inactive if there has been no login or account activity for a specified period, as determined by the Company.
