4.4 If you do not wish for your Subscription to renew in accordance with clause 4.3, you must provide us with a notice of cancellation in writing or through another method we reasonably designate in advance. Terminating your Subscription means that you will not be charged for the next billing cycle, but (unless we are required to provide a refund because we are in breach of these Terms and such breach cannot be remedied) you will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged. All renewals will be charged at the then current rates.

4.8 If we do not receive payment authorisation or any authorisation is subsequently cancelled, we may immediately terminate or suspend your Subscription.

If we notify you of a pricing error, you may cancel the Subscription and we will refund you any money paid, or you may pay the correct price and continue with your Subscription. If you do neither, we may cancel your Subscription and refund any money you have paid. We will always act in good faith in determining whether a genuine pricing error has occurred.

4.11 If you are entitled to a refund, we will credit that refund to the card or other payment method you used to submit payment, unless it has expired in which case we will contact you to arrange an alternative refund method.

4.12 We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism.
