Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.

You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting the Southern Hodgepodge, L.L.C. customer support team by using the “Contact” form on chalkpastel.com.
