You can cancel or pause your account at any time by going to your account page and selecting the Subscriptions tab. Here you will see an option to 'Cancel' or 'pause' next to your current subscription.
Once you cancel or pause, your account will remain active, and you will retain access to the Academy until your current subscription period ends. You can of course rejoin anytime in the future!
NOTE when pausing: If pausing with Paypal, you cannot resume until your scheduled payment date. For example if your payment date is on the 1st, and you resume on the 3rd, you will not be able to resume until the next 1st.
If pausing using a credit card, when you resume, that day will be your new start date. For example, if your renewal date is the 1st and you resume on the 3rd, the 3rd will be your new billing cycle start date.
