Any virtual currency that you receive as a promotion from us will be subject to the terms of our Virtual Goods and Currency Terms of Service. We reserve the right at any time to increase or change the amounts set forth in the WoofWonders Services for any of the Paid WoofWonders Services.

2. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF SUBSCRIPTIONS. When you pay for a subscription through a Third Party Account and you do not cancel your subscription prior to the end of the subscription term, your subscription for the WoofWonders Services will continue indefinitely until cancelled by you. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period, at the price you agreed to when subscribing. You agree that your WoofWonders Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature. You acknowledge and agree that your Third Party Account will be automatically charged for such subscription fees, plus any applicable taxes, upon each such automatic renewal. You acknowledge that your subscription is subject to automatic renewals and you consent to and accept responsibility for all recurring charges through a Third Party Account based on this automatic renewal feature without further authorization from you and without further notice except as required by law.
3. CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTIONS. When you purchase a subscription through a Third Party Account, you will need to cancel your subscription through that third party, an App Store, not WoofWonders and in accordance with that third party's terms and conditions. Cancellations are effective the following billing period in which payment is due. If you cancel your subscription your subscription benefits will continue until the end of your then current subscription term, but your subscription will not be renewed after that term expires. You will not be entitled to a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fees paid for the then current subscription term.
18. Free Trials And Promotions
From time to time, we may offer free trials or other promotions (a "Promotion"). As an example, we may offer Promotions that provide a free Subscription to the WoofWonders Services for a certain period of time. You must cancel your subscription (in accordance with Section 17) before the end of the Promotion period in order to avoid being automatically charged for Subscription Fees. As another example, we may provide you with our virtual currency without charge. Any such virtual currency is subject to the terms of our Virtual Goods and Currency Terms of Service. Additional Terms applicable to specific Promotions may be provided on the WoofWonders Software.
19. Modification Of These Terms
