Monthly Recurring Subscription - 30 Day.
Your subscription will last for a period of 30 days. Your subscription will be automatically renewed after the 30 day period. As long as your subscription has not been cancelled, you will be billed every month. Without cancelling your subscription you are giving your authorization to be billed every month. You cannot ask for your money back with your credit card company or bank due to forgetfulness or non-use.

Cancellation of Monthly Recurring Subscription.
You may at any time cancel your subscription. This will prevent any further charges to your credit card. You will retain access to the site for the period of time up to your 'end date', as of your cancellation.
To Cancel - Log in as usual, click on 'View Your Profile'. Click 'Cancel Subscription' in the 'Subscription Info' section, then confirm on the following page.

Please Note:
The only two methods we will honor for cancellation is following the simple steps above or speaking directly with a representative. Leaving a voicemail on our machine IS NOT a guarantee your membership will be cancelled.

Non-Use and/or Trouble Finding Desired Information.
Non-use on the Customer's part (you) does not entitle you to a refund. It is your responsibility to know when your billing occurs & to cancel the account prior to such date if you no longer wish to be charged. This information is clearly visible when viewing your Profile. Refunds will NOT be approved under any circumstance based upon the claim of 'non-use'.

We are committed to providing the best customer service possible, and will make every effort on our part to assist you in finding the information you are looking for. The only requirement is that you ask. We have gone out of our way (and will continue to do so) on most occasions to assist the customer (you) when problems have arisen - server, software and/or on the customers part. You must ask for help, we will not allow refunds for customers that try to dispute the charges with their bank and have not asked for help.
