Refund Policy

Choosing to end your service prior to the paid through date will result in the following method of determining a refund:
Amount Paid - ( (Monthly Price * Number of Full Months Used) + (Number of Days Used In Partial Month * Monthly Price / 30) ) = Refund Amount
E.g. If you paid $79.95 for 1 year, and cancel after 6.5 months and the current monthly price is $9.95:

$79.95 - ( (9.95 * 6) + (15 * $9.95 / 30) ) = $15.28
