If you proceed with a Renewal, the method of payment used to pay the Fees will be debited at the end of your current Premium subscription. If you select a Lifetime Premium subscription, this will be charged as a one-off upfront payment without any renewals. Lifetime Premium subscription constitutes 100 years or until the date, Atlas-English Vocabulary ceases to commercially offer the Services.

You acknowledge that, if we change the Fees, this will not affect your existing Premium subscription, therefore, if you have signed up for a subscription at a certain Fee, any Fee changes will not affect any current subscription or any Renewals).

Please note that if you have purchased the subscription through Apple iTunes or Atlas English Vocabulary iPhone/iPad application, the following conditions apply for renewals of Monthly and Yearly Premium subscription:

Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period
your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period.

Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.

The effect of the changes are as follows:

From Monthly Premium to Yearly Premium – your Yearly Premium will be activated immediately after payment is processed and any time left on your Monthly Premium will be canceled and will not be refunded;
From Yearly Premium to Monthly Premium – your Yearly Premium will continue to be active until the expiry of the remainder of your current Yearly Premium subscription and your Monthly Premium will be activated once your Yearly Premium subscription has expired; and
From Monthly Premium or Yearly Premium to Lifetime – your Monthly Premium or Yearly Premium will continue to be active until the expiry of the remainder of your current Monthly or Yearly Premium subscriptions and your Lifetime plan will be activated immediately after purchase. Please note that in case of switching to a Lifetime plan, you have to cancel your Monthly or Yearly Premium subscriptions to avoid auto-renewal of these recurring subscriptions.

Your Premium subscription may start with a free trial. The free trial period for any subscription will last for the period of time specified when you signed up. Free trials may not be combined with certain other offers, as specified. If you begin your subscription with a free trial, the first billing day will be the day after the free trial expires.
