Under normal circumstances, the provision of Paid Content begins immediately upon Our confirmation of your subscription. As set out in sub-Clause 10.5, by expressly requesting this, you waive your right to the cooling-off period and may not cancel the contract merely because you have changed your mind.

10.7 You may cancel at any time after subscribing, however subject to sub-Clause 10.8, no refunds can be provided and you will continue to have access to the Paid Content for the remainder of the Subscription Period you are currently in up until the renewal date whereupon access will cease unless you chose to pay the Subscription Fee and reactivate your subscription.

11.4 If We terminate your Account or subscription, you will cease to have access to Paid Content from the date of termination.
