Annual Subscription:

If you are looking for a way to spread your hits over an entire year, then an Annual subscription is the most convenient way to subscribe. Payment is made in advance for a year, and hits expire at the end of 12 months instead of expiring at the end of each month.

Your credit card will be charged at the one-year rate, with an anniversary date set to the first day of the first month following the purchase date. For example, if you make a purchase on March 15, 2008, you will be billed at the start of April for a one-year subscription, and your first renewal date will be on April 1, 2009.

Monthly Subscription:

If you use about the same number of hits per month and want to spread your payments over the course of a year, then a Monthly Subscription is the esiest way to subscribe. Payments are spread out on a monthly basis and you can cancel with a 30-day notice.

Purchases can be prorated at the time of purchase. If you choose to prorate payments for the remainder of the current month, your credit card will be charged a prorated amount for the current month, plus one month in advance. Thereafter, your credit card will be charged on the first day of every month for the full month’s rate. For example, if you make a purchase on March 15, 2008, you will be billed for the second half of March, plus a one-month subscription for April. You will then be billed on the first of every month, starting on May 1.

If you choose not to prorate, you will be charged the full amount at the time of purchase for the current month, and you will have until the end of the current month to use all of your hits. Starting with the next month, you will be billed on the first of every month.
