It is Your responsibility to check Our Site for plan or price changes should You wish to take advantage of plan or price changes which may have occurred. MMITech does not automatically update Your Subscription plan. All upgrades or downgrades will be performed at Your request and may include modification of Fees or require reinitiating service with Us.

- 12.4. CANCELLATION TERMS: YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME, AND SUCH CANCELLATION SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE UPON EXPIRATION OF YOUR THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM. You agree and understand that you will be charged Subscription fees until the expiration of your then-current Subscription Term and SUBSCRIPTION FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. You will not be eligible for a pro-rated refund of any portion of the Subscription fees paid for any unused days of the then-current Subscription Term.

- 12.5. REFUND POLICY: MMITech does not issue refunds for any services, including but not limited to VPS/VDS and storage hosting services, except in cases of extended service outages as defined in our Service Level Agreement (SLA). In the event of an outage that lasts longer than the period specified in our SLA, the maximum compensation will be a service credit equivalent to one month's worth of subscription fees for the affected service. This credit will be applied to your account for future use and is not redeemable for cash.

- 14.3. If any provision is or becomes invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, this has no effect on the validity of the remaining provisions.
