Such a renewal will take place repeatedly unless the effect of the Contract is terminated in another way or a timely notification of the intention not to renew the Contract is made by any of the parties. If the Remuneration is agreed to be paid with an appropriate payment or credit card (over the GoPay payment gateway), the Contract is renewed on a monthly basis. Once the first payment is made this way, the next repeated monthly payments and the Contract renewal take place automatically unless the repeated payments, and thus the Contract, are cancelled prior to the execution of the repeated payment at the latest. The Customer will cancel the repeated payment in the GoPay environment in accordance with the instructions received upon establishment of the repeated payment, or the cancellation may be made by sending an email to the Provider no later than three (3) business days before the Contract renewal.
