You can upgrade or downgrade your current Subscription plan at any time. In such an event, you will automatically be charged with the Subscription fee for the next payment interval with the rate indicated in the new Subscription plan. Downgrade of the current Subscription plan may cause the loss of features or capacity of the Spelly plugin.
