5. Subscription Renewal
Your subscription will be automatically renewed every month. If you cancel early, you’ll continue to have full access to the material until your subscription expires at the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again unless you resubscribe.
There are two exceptions to automatic renewal: gift subscriptions and educational subscriptions.
New subscribers: If you are a new subscriber and receive a gift subscription, or your school or university provides you with an educational license, you’ll be sent a coupon code to enter when you sign up for your new account. When your subscription runs out, you’ll need to resubscribe and provide payment information for auto-renewal thereafter.
Recurring subscribers: If you are a subscriber with automatic renewal you can use gift subscriptions or educational licenses. Enter the gift or educational coupon code on the subscription page at any time, and this will act as a credit on your account. Once the gift or educational subscription period ends, auto-renewal will resume as normal.
