If you order a Subscription, then you agree to pay the applicable price and any other recurring charges upon each auto-renewal date, until you terminate your Subscription in accordance with the directions on the Application.

You may terminate your Subscription or change your payment method at any time by signing into your account at thesip.com or emailing hello@thesipsociety.com Prepaid memberships are non-refundable.
Your non-termination of a Subscription reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for that Subscription.

Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to sign up for the Subscription.

Coupon Codes are not valid for orders placed prior to receipt of, or without reference to, the Coupon Code and cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with other offers or credits.
