Your plan is activated once the payment is confirmed in our account (Usually within 1 business day after the payment reaches our account).
Article 4 — Performance, term and renewal
- Plans run for the period you choose (monthly / yearly etc.) and do not renew automatically; to renew you pay again — there is no automatic charge.

- After activation: the service is performed electronically and instantly. If at checkout you expressly request that the service start before the withdrawal period ends, your right of withdrawal ends when the plan is activated (Regulation Art. 15(1)(ğ)).
