Cancelling does not stop billing immediately; the user remains liable for all billing periods remaining in the current subscription term.
Interpretive note: The canonical claim states two independent propositions (timing of cancellation effect and continued billing); the primary is the timing of cancellation effect. Continued billing is noted in the claim as it is directly linked, but is also flagged here as a secondary independent proposition.
The reader who cancels will continue to be billed for any remaining billing periods in the current term, free trial, or promotion, unless otherwise disclosed.
How other platforms handle this
Your cancellation will take effect at the end of your current Subscription Period, and your Subscription will not be renewed.
Because our Services may be utilized without a subscription, canceling your subscription does not remove your profile from our Services. If you wish to fully terminate your account, you must terminate your account as set forth in Section 9.
Inactivity does not constitute automatic cancellation, so unless you cancel your account in accordance with this section, you will continue to be charged for subscription to the Services.
