5. How can I check my subscription information?

Top

To verify your subscription information please sign in and click on My Account in the top right corner or in the Quick Links menu of the Dashboard. On the Account page is a link on the left side of the screen titled Subscription Settings. From there you'll be able to see your subscription history, and you can also cancel automatic renewals from this screen.

6. How can I cancel my subscription?

Top

For your convenience, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of your term. You can easily cancel your membership and stop it from auto-renewing any time, online, 24 hours a day by following these simple steps:

  1. Log in to the website by entering your username and password at the top right of any page
  2. Click on the Account button in the top menu
  3. Click on Subscriptions Settings from the left navigation menu
  4. Click on the "Click here to stop this subscription from auto-renewing at the end of the term" link below your existing subscription

Please note that cancelling your subscription only prevents the next charge from kicking in: it does not suspend the service that you paid for in advance. Your subscription will remain active and fully functional until the paid through date listed on the My Account page. On that date, your account will cease to work and you will not be charged anymore. You don't have to wait until the last day to cancel your subscription.

7. Is there any type of guarantee?

Top

We are so sure that you will find our paid subscriptions worth every penny that we will happily refund the full amount of your membership within 60 days if you are unsatisfied in any way — no questions asked! Just send us an email at contactus@chineseclass101.com within 60 days of subscribing to let us know that you would like to take advantage of our money-back guarantee.
