2.4. Subscriptions
NawaCares provides users with different paid membership options, presenting choices between one-time purchases and auto-renewing subscription plans. Subject to the allowances of platforms (the “Apple App Store”), you can become a paid subscriber (“Subscription”) by purchasing in-app subscription services, and the subscription plans of each platform are not currently interchangeable. The subscription plan entails automatic renewal through the platform. We maintain the authority to adjust the details of those options within NawaCares.
NawaCares offers two auto-renewing subscription options on the Apple App Store: $12.99 per month, $99.99 per year. These prices are for United States customers. Prices in other countries may vary and actual charges maybe converted to your local currency depending on the country of residence. The subscription will automatically renew unless turned off in your iTunes Account Settings at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can go to your iTunes Account settings to manage your subscription and turn off auto-renew. Your iTunesAccount will be charged when the purchase is confirmed. lf you subscribe before your free trial ends, the rest of your free trial period will be forfeited as soon as your purchase is confirmed.
2.4.1. Maintaining Subscriptions
Subscriptions can be billed monthly or annually and are processed through the app market partner where you initially obtained the subscription. You can only use the subscription when it is active. If you fail to pay the subscription fee within 7 days after the due date, your subscription will automatically downgrade. Subscription fees will continue to be automatically deducted through the payment method provided in the app market until canceled. To avoid being charged for the next subscription period, cancel your subscription before each billing cycle renewal. No refunds will be granted for any portion of the subscription period. You can only modify or cancel subscriptions through the app market where you initially obtained the subscription. To view, modify, or cancel a subscription, you may need to verify your identity using the same user ID under the app market partner.
2.4.2. Refunds
You can request a refund by clicking “Cancel Subscription” at the bottom of the subscription page.
