IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 13, ELEPHANGO REQUIRES A PARENT’S OR GUARDIAN’S CONSENT BEFORE YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO ELEPHANGO.

Automatic Renewal

Subscriptions are per student or family for a prepaid one-month or full-year subscription term (per your subscription plan). Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term for another one-month or one-year term, as applicable. You agree that Elephango may automatically renew your subscription and charge your account on the anniversary of your last subscription date (the “Renewal Date”), unless you cancel your subscription prior to the Renewal Date. Elephango will automatically renew your subscription each month or each year, as applicable, on the Renewal Date until you cancel your subscription or until Elephango no longer offers the subscription service.

Notice of Automatic Renewal

For those opting for a one-year subscription, you will receive an email notice approximately 10 days prior to the Renewal Date. The notice will notify you that your current subscription term is about to end and provide you with the Renewal Date at which your subscription will be renewed and your account charged. All notices regarding your subscription will be sent to your last email of record. To cancel your subscription without your account being charged for the next subscription term, you must do so prior to the Renewal Date. Please keep a record of when your subscription term ends and the next Renewal Date. You are ultimately responsible for tracking your next Renewal Date and timely canceling your subscription regardless of whether you receive any notice from Elephango.

Notice of Automatic Renewal for Subscriptions Originating From an Elephango Partner

Subscriptions via special agreements with Elephango partners are per student or family for a pre-paid established subscription term. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term for another term and will be billed through that partner. Changes in payment method or subscription level must be made in your account with that partner.

Refunds

Initial subscription payments and renewal payments are NOT refundable. However, in the case that a subscription payment is taken after your notice of cancellation, Elephango will refund your renewal payment provided that your notice of cancellation was received by Elephango prior to your Renewal Date. Upon lapse of a subscription term, triggered by a Renewal Date, your subscription payment will be applied to your current subscription term effective on the Renewal Date. The renewal payment is non-refundable. You are ultimately responsible for tracking your next Renewal Date and timely canceling your subscription regardless of whether you receive any notice from Elephango. Upon cancellation, your subscription will continue until the end of the current subscription term. Any notice of cancellation received during a current subscription term will be applied to that current subscription term.
