An upgrade from the free account to any paying account will end your free trial, and you will be billed for your first month immediately upon upgrading.

For any downgrade in plan level, your credit card will automatically be charged the new rate on your next billing cycle. Downgrading your service may cause the loss of content, features, or capacity of your account. eCardWidget LLC does not accept any liability for such loss.
