of the Services offered on the Website require payment of fees

that might be applicable to your use of the Services and payments made
by you to VNVN.

its prices and fees at any time, and such changes or modifications
shall be posted online at the Website and effective immediately without
need for further notice to any user. Any changes or modifications in
prices and fees shall be effective when the Services in question come up

TREAT IT AS THE DEFAULT SETTING. THEREFORE, UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR
SUBSCRIPTION VNVN WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW THE APPLICABLE SERVICE WHEN
IT COMES UP FOR RENEWAL, AND WILL TAKE PAYMENT FROM THE PAYMENT METHOD

ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE RATES FOR THE
ORIGINAL SERVICE PERIOD. YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FROM SUCH
SERVICES PRIOR TO THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL AT ANY TIME. IN SUCH EVENT THE
