Lawyers write TOS's and tend to protect the program as much as possible. Since I can't find a TOS on any of Lee's sites I am assuming that he is using the CCbill TOS which states that all trials must be cancelled 24 hours before renewal date and 7 days before renewal date for all others. Now, I am not sure if Lee actually forces members to cancel at least 7 days before the 30 day membership renew or not, nor do I really care.

Here are some facts about Broke Straight Boys and Intense Cash.

1. That was written into the TOS to protect us when a member chooses to cancel via contacting us vs cancelling directly through the biller's online form. More specifically, it is the amount of time that covers the weekend. I am sorry but, If a member sends us an email at 11pm on a Saturday night to cancel a membership that will rebill at 7 am Sunday morning, there is a chance we will not get it in time. The TOS covers situations like these.

2. Any member can use the online billers form (which we give them a link to) and cancel at any time upto the time their membership will renew.

3. We have one full time employee that deals only with customer service issues, including cancellations. There are two other employess that can handle them as well. So, between the three there is a good chance that even on weekends they are honored within hours.

4. We have a very liberal refund policy. In no way are we going to destroy the brand over trial memberships that rebill to monthly members. Trust me, it just ain't worth it.

The bottom line: a member can cancel his membership any time he wants and we don't look at when he joined and say he can't cancel. Never had. Never will.

Maybe the question to ask is, since Lee seems to use CCbill's TOS, why does he require someone to cancel a 30 day membership at least 7 says before it renews. That seems kinda strange to say the least. So, if I join for a month and ask to cancel 27 days into my membership, I am going to get charged for another 30 days because I didn't cancel in time?
