This automatic renewal feature allows your service to remain uninterrupted at the expiration of your then-current term. If you do not wish for your subscription to be automatically renewed, you must manually cancel your subscription. Upon any such manual cancellation, your subscription will remain active through the expiration of your then-current subscription term; however your subscription will not be automatically renewed upon the expiration of your then-current term. If your subscription is cancelled at the end of your then-current subscription term for any reason and you thereafter desire to renew your subscription, you will be required to pay the then-current non-promotional subscription rate to activate a new subscription. If you do not cancel your subscription or if you continue to use Owner’s subscription service, you re-affirm and authorize Owner to charge your credit card at the end of each subscription term for an additional term of the same duration as the initial term and at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. You agree to be responsible for any such charges, and Owner reserves the right to obtain payment directly from you if necessary. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card.
