You may terminate your account at any time as described in the Termination section below.

Renewals and cancellations

You may cancel a Monthly or Yearly subscription at any time. Cancellation is effective at the end of the applicable monthly or annual period.

Service(s) premium features are purchased online or via Apple’s iTunes store, Android’s Google Play store or Amazon’s Appstore. When you purchase these features, you are also subject to the iTunes, Google Play or Amazon terms of service. Both monthly and yearly subscriptions are automatically renewed at their current rate to ensure that you continue using paid-for parts of Service(s) as a PRO user without showing you ads and providing access to the Service(s) premium features. You can cancel your renewal anytime from your Apple’s iTunes, Android’s Google Play store or Amazon’s Appstore account more than 24 hours before your renewal date. For more details:

Refunds

Your payment is managed by Apple via iTunes, Google via Google Play or Amazon via the Amazon Appstore and you will need to contact Apple, Google or Amazon customer service for refunds, as we are not able to process refunds ourselves. Otherwise please contact support@songtive.com.

Subscriptions

Our "Monthly" subscription is paid in monthly installments. For each month that your monthly subscription is active, you acknowledge and agree that Songtive is authorized to charge the same credit card as was used for the initial subscription fee or other payment method as set forth in the “Payment Method”. The monthly renewal subscription fees will continue to be billed to the Payment Method you provided until cancelled. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next month’s subscription fee to the Payment Method you provided. Refunds cannot be claimed for any partial-month subscription period.

Our "Yearly" subscription is paid for by an upfront payment with automatic annual renewals. You acknowledge and agree that Songtive is authorized to charge the Payment Method used for (i) the initial annual subscription fee at the rate secured at the time of purchase, and (ii) the non-discounted renewal subscription fee(s). You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the renewal subscription fee to the Payment Method you provided. Refunds cannot be claimed for any partial subscription period.

Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period.

Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.

Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal.

Lifetime Subscription

A Songtive “lifetime” subscription plan allows you to access the Service(s) premium features available at the time or your purchase for as long as those services are available. You may not assign lifetime subscription plans to any other person. We make no warranties or representations as to the expected lifetime of the Songtive services, and in purchasing a lifetime plan, you acknowledge and agree that the Songtive services could change or terminate in the future.
