If you terminate or cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term, and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. You may edit your Payment Method information by going to settings on the Software Platform. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information, terminate or cancel your subscription, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize the Company to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, payment card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. Upon your request, the Company will make available to you an electronic proof of payment (e.g. invoice, bill, receipt), stating that applicable amount has been paid or that no remaining balance exists, or other appropriate proof that payment has been made for that purchase. Generally, all charges for purchases are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.
