We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Services. We will give you advance notice of this and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for Services which will not be provided.
Reactivate: When you cancel your membership, you have an option to Reactivate your membership at any stage thereafter. Should you choose to reactivate, your subscription will start again and your next subscription will be charged to your account. The plan you will default to will be the previous one you cancelled from. Eg, if you were on a standard free trial, you would revert to being a Premium member on a month subscription, if you were on a 3 month plan, you would revert to starting off your 3 month subscription.
Pause membership: If you choose the Pause Membership option, your membership will be paused for a period (as decided by you) for up to one month. During this timeframe, you won’t have access to upcoming classes. When your Pause timeframe ends, your membership will resume immediately at the point at which you paused. Eg, if you were 15 days into a 28 day free trial, you will have 15 days left of a free trial when you resume membership.
Lower Price Plan: If you choose a lower price plan called a ‘One Course Plan’, your existing subscription will continue until the end of its existing timeframe before changing over to the One Course Plan. For example, if you are on a Free Trial and opt for a One Course Plan, your Free Trial period will continue until the end of the 28 days, and then your new plan will commence. Also if you are on an existing higher priced plan eg 3 month subscription, your current subscription as it already paid for will continue and you will have membership benefits consistent with that plan. At the end of that subscription timeframe, your plan will then switch to One Course Plan.
