CANCELLATION POLICY

Monthly Membership: Your membership with ShootQ is a month-to-month recurring membership with no contract. You may cancel at any time. ShootQ bills your account using the credit card you provided at the beginning of your monthly billing cycle.

Amounts paid are not refundable. Subscriptions to ShootQ are pre-paid.

Annual Plan Membership: The Annual Plan is a 12-month subscription, which will be pre-paid at the time of selecting the plan. The 12-month term will begin at the end of your current billing cycle. Amounts paid are not refundable. There are no pro-rated discounts for early termination of the plan. Your annual subscription will automatically renew at the standard rate on the one-year anniversary of your last subscription date (the 'Renewal Date') unless you cancel your subscription or downgrade to a monthly plan prior to your Renewal Date. Any changes made to your plan prior to your Renewal Date will go into effect at the end of the current annual subscription term. Plan changes can be made in the 'Account & Billing' section of your account.

ShootQ will send you an email notice approximately 30 days prior to your Renewal Date to let you know the current annual subscription term is about to end and your subscription will be automatically renewed at the standard rate for another 12-month period and your account will be charged accordingly. However, you are responsible for making any adjustments to your plan and account prior to your renewal date regardless of whether you receive any notice from us.

Please refer to the "Account and Billing" screen for information about your Renewal Date. ShootQ will email you a payment confirmation after subscription renewal.

To cancel your account, simply click on the Settings tab, and then click on Account & Billing. You'll see a link that says "Cancel My Account" at the bottom of the page.

Click the "Cancel My Account" link and then follow the steps to complete your account cancellation.

Before you close your account, you should know:
