Hi Spencer, When you subscribe to the paid plan, you can either choose the monthly or annual plan. Monthly subscription is automatically renewed each month. You can cancel it anytime. Annual subscription is a 12 month contract and it is non-refundable. If you need to use it for a short term (say 2 months), then you can choose the monthly option, use it for 2 months and then cancel the subscription before it is automatically renewed for the 3rd month.
