What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation

Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Subscriptions are non-refundable. Cancellation only prevents future auto-renewal; it does not trigger a refund for the current billing period.

Exceptions and practical notes
Exceptional refunds are rare and depend on the provider's discretion and the purchase channel's terms.
