1. Automatic renewal service refers to the service launched to meet the needs of members for automatic renewal and to avoid members failing to renew in time due to negligence or other reasons, under the premise that users have already activated VIP membership services.

4) You understand and agree that the automatic renewal service of "GIF Maker" VIP membership services requires you to actively cancel. Although the VIP membership service is bound to your account, the blocking or cancellation of your account will not affect the automatic continuation of the automatic renewal service.

4. Cancellation method: You can cancel the automatic renewal service at any time through AppStore for any reason. You understand and agree that although you have cancelled the automatic renewal service according to the foregoing operation method, the automatic renewal deduction instructions that have been made before the cancellation are still valid.
