## Basic rules

- **Auto-renewing monthly subscription**: The plan renews automatically after expiration. You can cancel future renewals at any time.
- **One-time purchase**: Only the current plan period is purchased. It does not renew automatically.
- **Plan upgrade**: The upgrade takes effect immediately, while the original plan expiration date remains unchanged unless stated otherwise below.
- **Plan downgrade**: Downgrades are not currently supported.

<Note>
  The final payment amount and plan validity period are shown on the order confirmation page.
