Forced Subscription Period After Cancellation

high support

Users report being unable to cancel immediately and having to pay for additional months (typically 3 months) even when not using the platform. Cancellation can only be done through the software interface, not via phone or email.

Customer support was very helpful at other times but when we finally needed to cancel as the login just never seemed to smooth out, and some other using options had cliches, we wouldn't just cancel over the phone OR via email. SO we had to keep and pay $59 for three more months, though never using the program.

Then canceling the system can only be done via login to the software. Not by a phone call or email.
