Notwithstanding the Subscription Fees, Currency Media may run promotional offers from time to time which vary or temporarily waive or reduce the Subscription Fees for a fixed period of time. The terms of any such promotional offer shall be clearly set out or accessible in the promotional offer material. Following the expiry of the promotional offer, the Subscription Fees shall be payable by the User.

The User’s subscription shall continue until terminated. Save where the User notifies Currency Media in writing that the User is terminating the Agreement in accordance with the Suspension and Termination clause below at least three weeks prior to the renewal date, the User’s subscription shall be renewed automatically and the Subscription Fees shall be due as of the renewal date.
