If you have created a valid and active membership account (see article 5 of these terms of use) before 20 June 2013, SMART will provide you with free access to the Subscription for one calendar year (being until 19 June 2014).
If this is not the case, you shall have to purchase a Subscription to be able to use the extra advantages connected thereto. In order to introduce you to these advantages you shall be provided with a 24-hours free access to the Subscription after creation of your membership account. If you wish to continue to use the Subscription after the aforementioned period of 24 hours, you will have to purchase a certain Subscription formula.
The various Subscription formulas and the pricing information of these Subscription formulas can be consulted via ….
The purchase of a Subscription is completed when you receive a confirmation mail from SMART. You have the choice between the following paying methods:
Credit card
Debit card
Within 14 days from activation of any Subscription, you have the right to inform SMART of your wish to cancel the purchase of that Subscription without giving reasons and without payment of any compensation. You will receive a full refund of the purchased Subscription within 30 days. After this period of 14 days the Subscription can only be cancelled according to the provisions of clause 7 of these Terms.

The Subscription cannot be prolonged tacitly.
7.Cancellation
You can cancel your membership account at all time. You are solely responsible for properly cancelling your membership account.

You can cancel a Subscription at all time by informing SMART of your request to cancel the Subscription, without any costs besides the eventual costs which are related to the transfer of your request. The cancellation of your Subscription shall come into force on the due date of the Subscription.
We may, but we have no obligation to cancel, without prior notice or justification, any membership account and/or Subscription if you commit a severe default. Among others, such default can exist in any unlawful use of the Service, any incorrect, imprecise, non-actual or incomplete delivery of information or any use that violates in another way the present Terms or can be considered as offensive, threatening, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable. Such cancellation of your membership account and/or Subscription has the same consequences as the cancellation of your membership account and/or Subscription by you, without prejudice to SMART to demand compensation for the damage suffered by this default.
You shall be notified of the cancelling of your membership account and/or Subscription by e-mail (at the latest provided e-mail address).
