Users who purchase monthly subscriptions have five (5) days after purchase to cancel and receive a full refund. After the cancelation period ends, all purchases are final and all fees paid are non- refundable, even if your account is later terminated by Evergreen. If you cancel a month-to-month subscription partially through the month, your subscription will be cancelled at the end of the billing period. If you have questions, please contact support@Evergreen.com.
4.2 Upon expiration of your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a "Renewal Commencement Date") and continue month-to-month, at Evergreen's then-current price for such subscription.
