This article is only for credit card customers whose subscriptions were purchased directly through our website. If you purchased your subscription through the iOS App Store, please visit https://support.apple.com/billing.
Please note, putting your subscription on hold would be most beneficial for monthly subscriptions, or if your billing date is coming up and you would like to postpone the next renewal. If you are on the annual plan, putting your subscription on hold in the middle of the year won't change the renewal date, since our annual subscription pricing takes into account 4 free months.
Subscriptions are only allowed to be put on hold for up to 3 months. Everyday Speech has the right to cancel any subscriptions on hold longer than 3 months.
Occasionally, you may want to put your subscription on hold instead of outright canceling your subscription. Having the option to hold instead of cancel is a great way to remain subscribed without being billed for the time that you aren't using your subscription.

You may want to hold your subscription for the following reasons:
- Going out of town
- Won't be accessing the subscription for a period of time
- Aren't using the service as frequently
During the time that your subscription is on hold, you will not be billed. You also won't be able to log in to the Social-Emotional Learning Platform other than to view your Billing Portal. Your access and billing will resume when the subscription hold is lifted.
