A purchase is considered accepted when you receive our written confirmation regarding the activation of the chosen subscription plan.

5.3. Plan Changes and Upgrades. You may change or upgrade your subscription at any time via your account or by notifying us. Upon processing the new applicable fees, the new plan becomes active immediately, superseding any previous plan. In case of an upgrade, any unused funds from the previous plan will be credited toward the new plan's payment. In case of downgrading, you can terminate your current plan and initiate a new subscription purchase. You agree that we never provide refunds for unused portions of the previous plan that are changed before the end of the Agreement term.

5.4. Renewal and Termination. Plans are set to renew automatically for the same period as the initial term unless otherwise specified or mutually agreed. Either the Client or the Company can choose not to renew a plan by providing written notice to the other Party. Following the expiration of the initial term, the Agreement shall automatically renew, unless the Agreement is terminated by either Party, in which case a two-month written notice must be given before the expiration of the initial term.

5.9. Suspension Services Non-Payment. If payment has not been made by the due date, we may suspend your access to our Service until the outstanding amounts are paid in full.
