EXAMPLE: You have a monthly $9.95 plan that renews on the 10th of each month. You contact us on May 12th to cancel your service. Your account renewed on May 10th so your account would be active until June 10th and there would be no refund for service from May 10th to June 10th. If you wanted your service to end on May 10th and not be billed for any further service, you would have had to notify us that you were canceling your account on or before May 10th.
