Your billing cycle is started from the day you sign up. We bill all our restaurant partners on the first day of each month. This means if you sign up on the 15th of the month then you will be billed pro-rata to the end of the month for that first month.

We cancel your account at the end of your current billing cycle (last day of the month). We do not offer a pro-rata refund. Example to illustrate: You confirm your intent to cancel on the 15th of the month. You will have access to your online diary until the end of your billing cycle which is the last day of that month.
