18.1 It is possible to pause a monthly subscription. Annual subscriptions cannot be paused. You can pause your subscription any time from within your account, for up to 6 months. After 6 months, your subscription will be automatically cancelled. The purpose of pausing is to avoid making your next payments on your subscription, so that you can resume payments at a later date.

After this point, your subscription will become inactive (you will no longer have access to the content in the academy), and you can choose to resume your membership at any time, for up to 6 months.

When resuming after your subscription has become inactive, you will be immediately reactivated and billed on the day that you resume your subscription. All future billings will happen on that new day.
For example: If you have a monthly subscription that normally bills on the 1st of the month, and you pause your monthly subscription on the 15th, your account will become inactive from the 1st of the next month. If you then resume on the 10th of the next month, you will be billed that day, and your new bill date will be every 10th of the month.
18.2.2 If you purchased a monthly subscription with PayPal:
When resuming after your subscription has become inactive, you will only be reactivated and billed when the next original billing date occurs.
For example: If you have a monthly subscription that normally bills on the 1st of the month, and you pause your monthly subscription on the 15th, your account will become inactive from the 1st of the next month. If you then resume on the 10th of the next month, your account will remain inactive until the 1st of the next month, at which point your billing will resume again on every 1st of the month.
