a.Ongoing Subscriptions:
Programs such as the initial “Open Field”TM Program will be automatically renewing subscriptions. You can choose either a monthly or annual subscription and will be licensed to access the Content for these Programs for the period for which You have paid subscription fees. After You sign up for a subscription, You will have an initial 2 or 14 days (for monthly and annual subscriptions respectively), to decide to terminate the subscription for any reason whatsoever, and to receive a refund of any monies paid for that subscription. Otherwise there are no refunds for subscriptions, but You can terminate Your subscription at any time by delivering notice of Your intention to do so to [email protected]. Your subscription will then terminate at the end of the latest subscription period for which You have paid. When You sign up for a subscription based Program, You will be asked to provide Us with a current, valid accepted method of payment. In order to maximize the security of that information, We have hired a third party payment service to process payments and store this information. It will not be stored by Jonathan Field Company Ltd. When You provide us with the payment information You are authorizing us to provide it to Our third party payment service and You are authorizing them to use it for payment each time the subscription renews. You also agree to let Us know if that payment method expires or otherwise ceases to be valid. We will provide You with notice of the pending renewal of an annual (not monthly) subscription at least 30 days prior to the renewal date. If You do not want to renew a subscription, You need to deliver notice of Your decision not to do so to [email protected] prior to the renewal date in order to avoid being charged for the next subscription period.
