User is required to log in to his or her account and visit the My Access Plans page. The buttons for pausing of the recurring billing plans are located in the box "Subscriptions". Here the user may request activation of their services and adding new plans as well. See “ALL ACCESS PLANS”.

Once the user has completed the deactivation process stated above, he or she will receive a confirmation email stating that their recurring billing has been deactivated. If the user has not received the cancellation confirmation email, the service has not been canceled correctly and the cancellation process needs to be repeated. Once the user deactivate/cancel their recurring billing, their access to the paid member area will expire upon the renewal date. User can request re-activation of their subscription plans by using the options in the box "Subscriptions". ILFLS.com will not accept an "email", "phone call", "phone message", or "fax" as a method of canceling the service. User must use the cancel process stated above to cancel their service. If the subscriber does not cancel/deactivate their recurring billing membership payment plan, then the credit card given at the time of the subscription will be automatically billed on a recurring basis at the subscription rate specified when said user registered or upgraded on ILFLS.com, until such time as deactivation by subscriber occurs.

Refunds will not be issued to a user based upon their personal views or opinions of ILFLS.com, this includes the quality of content, delays in updates, or related matters. If the user wants to upgrade his/her plan he/she can do this by contacting ILFLS.com by phone, e-mail or fax or using the upgrade process on the Web Site. All published subscription plans are based on recurring billing schedule. This means the credit card provided at the time of subscription will be billed in the beginning of every consecutive billing cycle depending on the subscription plan. The schedule of the next billing charge is posted in My Access Plans page. Exceptions are any other plans expressly stated to be non-recurring. Users who have subscribed for the 24 Hours Access plan can do so as many times as they need and these plans are non-recurring. Subscriber also understands that any "promotional" rate or "trial period" is good only for first time subscribers and for period specified in the current ‘promotional’ or ‘trial period’ offer.
