Annual Core members may cancel future annual renewals, with membership access continuing through the end of the paid annual term.
Visibility Plus Membership
Monthly Visibility Plus members agree to complete their initial 12-month payment commitment.
A cancellation request during that period prevents renewal after the initial commitment but does not eliminate the remaining payments owed under the original agreement.
After the initial 12 months, monthly Visibility Plus members may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current paid monthly period.
Annual Visibility Plus members may cancel future annual renewals, with membership access continuing through the end of the current paid annual term.
