4. My current subscription plan does not renew until November 2, 2021 or later. When will I be billed at the new rates? 

You will be billed the new rate the next time your plan renews on and after November 2, 2021.  See exception in FAQ #6 below if you currently are in a trial.
 
5. Will the rate adjustment affect my trial subscription?

No. Trial subscriptions are not impacted by the rate adjustment.
 
6. I'm currently on a trial subscription, but prior to November 2, 2021, I purchased a plan to start when my trial ends. When will I be charged the new rate?

If you have already purchased a Music & Entertainment or a Platinum Plan prior to November 2, 2021 as your follow-on plan to your current trial, the increase will not apply until after the initial billing period following your trial.  Then, whenever your plan bills again, you will be charged the new adjusted rate (or the rate in effect at that time).

Examples:

• If you chose a monthly billing plan to follow your trial, the first month will not be impacted by the adjustment. The new rates will apply to the second and subsequent months of your plan.
• If you chose a quarterly billing plan to follow your trial, the first three months of your service will be at the current rates. You will not be billed at the new adjusted rate until your plan bills again (after the first three months).
