32.2. Automatic Renewal. As of September 2009, for any program paid for via credit card, such program shall automatically renew at the expiration of the then-current term for an additional term of the same duration as the initial term and at the then-current non-promotional rate.

If you do not wish for your subscription to be automatically renewed, you must manually cancel your subscription with thirty days notice in writing prior to expiration of the then- current term. Upon any such manual cancellation, your program will remain active through the expiration of your then-current term; however your program will not be automatically renewed upon the expiration of your then-current term. If your program is canceled at the end of your then-current term for any reason and you thereafter desire to renew your program, you will be required to pay the then-current non-promotional rate to activate a new program. If you do not cancel your program or if you continue to use our service, you re-affirm and authorize us to charge your credit card or bank transfer withdrawal at the end of each term for an additional term of the same duration as the initial term and at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. You agree to be responsible for any such charges, and we reserve the right to obtain payment directly from you if necessary. You must cancel your program before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card.
