Managing your membership

Unless you’ve cancelled your membership, it will automatically renew on the Renews on date on your Account settings page, where your current membership is displayed and from which page you can also upgrade and cancel your membership.

When you upgrade from an annual membership, your new membership will begin immediately, and you'll receive a refund for the time remaining on your current membership. When you upgrade from a monthly membership, a month will be added to the new membership to compensate for the days remaining on the prior membership. If you cancel, your membership will end on your Expires date.
