Automatic renewal, suspension, and termination

This Agreement is ongoing and will continue for the Initial Term and any subsequent Renewed Terms (each a Term of the Agreement) unless terminated as specified in this Agreement.

You acknowledge that a Renewed Term may be longer than the Initial Term. Service subscription charges for the Renewed Term will be deducted from your nominated credit or debit card. We will send to you at least one reminder of the automatic renewal of the Agreement at least two weeks before it occurs, which will contain the terms and conditions that will apply to the Renewed Term (Auto-Renewal Notice). You acknowledge that you will be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the Auto-Renewal Notice unless you give us notice of cancellation prior to the date of renewal, being the end of the current Term.

2. you validly cancel the Agreement during a Cooling-off Period.

Our right to terminate

We may immediately, without notice, suspend or terminate your access to the Service and terminate this Agreement for any of the following reasons:
