Unless we notify you otherwise, changes for paid subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next subscription period and your continued use of the PM Toolkit Services after the effective date of the price change will be deemed acceptance of such amended fees. If you do not agree with the price changes you will have the right to downgrade your account prior to the price change taking effect, however by downgrading you may lose data, therefore it is entirely your responsibility to ensure you have backed-up your Content and Feedback.
