Subscription must be terminated by using the “Cancel” button in the subscription dashboard (https://billing.gappsexperts.com/app/subscriptions).

In the event of termination of the subscription, you will not be refunded for the subscription fee for the unused portion of the subscription prepaid period. Gapps Experts Inc. reserves the right to change the subscription fee and to charge for use of Services that are currently available free of charge.
After the expiry of your subscription, the service will stop working.

Every time Gapps Experts Inc. system will detect that users have been removed from the organization, it will remove the licenses of these users from the next renewal order.
If you wish to renew your subscription with quantity of licenses that is different from your current subscription and from your number of users, you can send an email to support@getsharedcontacts.com and specify the number of licenses you want for your next subscription.
