Zhibit LLC will refund fully, no questions asked, any subscription payment for a period longer than one month when notified within 30 days of the date of the payment, whether made individually or by autopay. Payments for a single month of subscription are excluded from this guarantee and will not be refunded.
Zhibit LLC reserves the right to modify or discontinue subscription plans. You are however guaranteed that your rate will never increase as long as you stay on a particular plan, even if that plan is discontinued.
