TERMINATION

You’re free to stop using our Services at any time. We also reserve the right to suspend or end the Services at any time at our discretion and without notice. For example, we may suspend or terminate your use of the Services if you’re not complying with these Terms, or use the Services in a manner that would cause us legal liability, disrupt the Services or disrupt others’ use of the Services.

Except for paid subscriptions, we reserve the right to terminate and delete your account if you haven’t accessed our Services after a certain duration of time.

Subscriptions that do not meet the requirements for the target subscription level will remain at their current subscription.

It is not the responsibility of WPY Data to ensure that the requirements are met prior to changing the subscription. Downgrades must be modified prior to the end of the billing cycle and will be effective immediately at time of modification.

No refunds or credit will be given for subscriptions that remain at their subscription level due to exceeding the usage limits of the desired subscription level.

Loss of data and functionality may occur when downgrading subscriptions so please be careful prior to downgrading.

Some subscriptions levels can’t be downgraded, only cancelled.
