  • We will contact you using the email address you provide when you register ahead of the renewal date, so you can decide whether to keep your subscription going or not.
  • Introductory offer: Unless otherwise stated, if an introductory price is shown, it describes the lower price offered to you, as a new customer, for the first term of the subscription and the price currently paid by existing customers upon renewal of their subscription for a subsequent year at the time that the offer is made.
