Membership / Refunds / Unsubscribing
CALM CLAN is a monthly or annual membership site. You will be automatically charged a monthly or annual membership fee until you unsubscribe - depending upon the membership plan you choose. Members are responsible for managing their own account. You cannot cancel your membership via the website contact form or by email. If you want to stop having access to the Calm Clan, log in and click on your name then click on 'My Profile' in the pop-up window and 'Cancel Subscription'. We hope you decide to stay with us and make the most of all that's on offer here.
No refunds are offered if members forget or didn't realise they were subscribed or on unused proportions of any given month. So if, for example, you are charged on the first day of the month or year and then decide to cancel your membership before the end of the month or year, no partial refunds on the unused days is available. You are however still able to have full access to the Calm Clan until the end of your payment period. If you are on the annual membership plan, we recommend putting a reminder in your calendar a few days before the end of your first year - so you can decide if you want to continue as a member for another year. Once charged, no refunds.
* As a member, you will be added to our mailing list so we can keep you up-to-date with the monthly live broadcast schedule and recently added resources. Unsubscribing from the newsletter will not cancel your membership. If you ever want to unsubscribe, please log into the Calm Clan website using your username and password, where you will find the 'Cancel Subscription' option in the My Profile area. Thanks!
