11. Termination Terms and Refund Policy

 

11.1.  Monthly subscription plans: Account holders on monthly plans may cancel their account at any time. As no refunds will be provided for the unused portion of a monthly subscription, it is your responsibility to ensure that you cancel your subscription prior to the start of the next month’s billing cycle if you do not wish to be billed for that month. Notification of cancellation must be made to us in writing, either by letter or by email, or online through our billing system, in order to be valid. Cancellation shall be effective on the date that we receive your notification of cancellation. You understand and agree that refunds, if any, are at our sole, exclusive discretion, and that you are not otherwise entitled to any refunds under this plan.

 

11.2.  Annual subscription plans: Account holders on annual plans may cancel their account at any time. Cancellations on these accounts performed with the “cancellation” button/feature on the DNSFlex website will allow the account to remain active for the remainder of the term that the account holder had already paid. For example, if an account holder pays for an Annual subscription on January 15th, and cancels on February 1st will remain active through January 14th the following year.

 

Partial refunds will only be issued to account holders who voluntarily cancel their annual subscription under the following circumstances:

 

  1. Customer service must be notified that you would like to cancel the account at [email protected], and
  2. Notification must be made within the first thirty (3) days after purchase.

 

Thereafter, all annual subscriptions are non-refundable. You understand and agree that refunds, if any, thirty days after purchase, are at our sole, exclusive discretion, and that you are not otherwise entitled to any refunds under this plan. If you do not wish to continue with the Services at the conclusion of your annual subscription period, you must notify us, in writing – online through our billing system, by email or by letter – prior to the end of your annual subscription period, so that you will not be billed for the succeeding yearly plan. If you choose to carry on with the Services past the end of your annual subscription period, no further notification is required of you: your account will automatically be billed according to a yearly plan and billing cycle.

 

11.3.  If an account holder is terminated for violation of the terms of the Agreement herein, the termination will be treated as if the account holder had initiated the cancellation, effective on the date that the account holder was terminated.

 

 

12. Discontinuation of Services

 

We reserve the right in our sole unfettered discretion, to discontinue our Website and/or Services at any time with or without notice. If you have paid for and we discontinue the Services prior to the expiry of the applicable service period, we will refund to you such portion of your payment as related to any period after the discontinuance of the Services.
