We may suspend or terminate your subscription immediately or we may continue to provide reduced or limited services if you fail to comply with these terms and conditions.
We may suspend or terminate any category of free services at any time.  Without limitation, we may cancel a free service if you have not accessed or used the service for a period of 90 days or more.


We may terminate or suspend a service for which fees have been paid without any fault on your part. If we exercise this right to terminate, where possible the termination will take effect on the expiry of the current periodic term of the service.

Refunds

Web Survey Creator does not offer any free trial on paid accounts (Student, Professional, Enterprise). If you upgrade from a free to a paid account you’ll be charged for your first period at the time of upgrading.


You can cancel your account at any time by logging into your account and selecting the “My Account” from the menu. Once you are on the Account page, click the “Cancel Account” link.


Once you cancel you won’t be charged again, but you are responsible for whatever charges have already been incurred for the current billing period. For example, if your billing cycle is on the 23th of every month, and you cancel on the 26th, you’ll still have to pay for the current month, but you won’t be charged again after that. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made.
