Use of the service beyond the free time or without proper authorization will result in charges to billing or credit card account. Fees and payment terms therefore are subject to change upon Notice by AccuWeather to Subscriber. Packages, once purchased, are nonrefundable, regardless of use or lack of use by Subscriber. Absolutely no credits or refunds are available for month-to-month or one-time fee-based services, including, without limitation, mobile/wireless service packages.

If Subscriber has a legitimate basis to request a credit for a charge previously processed against his or her credit card account, he or she shall request a credit from AccuWeather by written notice and resolve the issue directly with AccuWeather. Any reversed charges which cause the credit card company to impose a charge back, refund, or credit cost against AccuWeather shall be reimposed by AccuWeather upon Subscriber. Such costs may exceed the cost of the reversed item or charge back by many times.
26. Renewal Terms. Monthly subscription packages shall continue to renew monthly until proper termination notification is received from Subscriber. Upon expiration of subscription period for any 6 Month Special and One Year Supersaver packages, Subscribers will be renewed on monthly subscription terms unless proper termination notification is received from Subscriber.
