    2. For yearly subscriptions, at the end of the billing term in which the cancellation occurred.
    3. BILLING MONTH – For clarification, a billing month will be calculated beginning on the starting date of the annual or monthly subscription, and the next month will begin on the same numbered date of the subsequent calendar month (ie. if the subscription starts January 21, the next month will begin on February 21, then March 21, etc.).

    1. FULL REFUND ON ORIGINAL SALE – While we understand that sometimes there are extenuating circumstances, full refunds are given out at the sole discretion of KeepTree, and ONLY apply to an original transaction and not to an automatic renewal. If you would like a full refund:
      1. Forward the original transaction receipt to cancel at keeptree dot com with the subject heading “Refund.”
      2. All full refund requests must come within 3 days of the original sale to be considered.

If you are terminated during a certain billing month, your account will be immediately cancelled, but you will not be entitled to a pro-rated refund.
    3. NO REFUND ON CANCELLED YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION – If you cancel a year-long subscription (or are terminated by KeepTree for a violation of these Terms of Service), there will be no refund on such cancellation or termination.

V. Account Termination and Restriction Policy

  1. TERMINATION OF OR RESTRICTIONS ON ACCOUNT – By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that KeepTree may take appropriate action, which may include but is not limited to termination or restriction of your access to the service if, under the appropriate circumstances, you are determined to be a repeat OR egregious infringer of the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or any other policies for conduct on the service proliferated by KeepTree.

  3. REFUND OF TERMINATED ACCOUNT – If you have a paid account that is terminated under this policy, you will be entitled to a refund under the terms of the Refund and Cancellation policy as if you chose to cancel on the date of the termination.
