Your right to cancel will terminate upon the earlier of (i) fourteen days from the day of concluding your contract, and (ii) commencing use of or access to the subscribed for App. We call the time from when your right to cancel starts until your right to cancel terminates a Cooling Off Period.

We also want to make sure that the person cancelling is you. Therefore, any cancellation request must be requested by the account holder.
