In the absence of a stated date a 30 day notice period will apply outside of the minimum initial term.

For services paid for by PayPal, cancellation of Subscriptions and/or Recurring Payments will be deemed as cancellation of service.  Service provision will stop at this point, or at a date determined by us.
