method, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon demand from us.
Subscriptions and auto-renewal: Hioosh may offer certain services in the form of auto-renewing subscriptions, for example a weekly, one or more month subscription (“Premium Services”).

If you do not want your purchase to be renewed, you must cancel, as described below, before the end of the current subscription period. Deleting your Account or deleting the Application from your device does not cancel your subscription. You will be informed of changes to the pricing of the Premium Services to which you have subscribed and will have the opportunity to cancel. If Hioosh changes its prices and you do not cancel your subscription, you agree to be billed at the subscription price then in effect on Hioosh.
Cancellation of subscriptions. If you purchased a subscription directly from Hioosh, you can cancel or change your payment method through the payment settings option on your profile. If you purchased a subscription through a Third-Party Store, such as the Apple Store or Google Play Store, you will need to access your account on that application and follow the instructions to change or cancel your
subscription. If you cancel your subscription, you can use your subscription until the end of the current period, but (i) you will not be eligible for a pro-rated refund (except as provided in the “Refunds” paragraph below), (ii) your subscription will not be renewed at the end of this period and (iii) you will then no longer be able to use the Premium Services or In-App Purchases activated by your subscription.
As our Services can be used without a subscription, canceling your subscription does not remove your profile from our Services. If you wish to terminate your Account completely, you must do so in accordance with Section 15.
Hioosh operates globally, and our pricing varies based on several factors. We frequently offer promotional pricing – which may vary depending on region, subscription length, plan size and other criteria. Hioosh also regularly tests new features and payment options.

Free trials. If you sign up for a free trial and do not cancel, your trial may convert to a paid subscription and your payment method will be charged at the then-current price for that subscription. Once your free trial is converted to a paid subscription, your paid subscription will continue to auto-renew at the end of each period, and your payment method will be charged until you cancel it. To avoid charges for a new subscription period, you must cancel before the end of the current subscription period or free trial period as described above. Deleting your Account or deleting
the App from your device does not cancel your free trial. If you have already signed up for a free trial of Hioosh through the Apple Store or Google Play Store, you will not be eligible for another free trial and will be automatically enrolled in a subscription and billed (e) as described in this paragraph.
Refunds. Generally, all purchase fees are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.

Problem.” You can also submit a request to https://getsupport.apple.com.
