You must adjust your renewal settings before your Membership end date in order to avoid billing of the next year’s Membership fees to your payment method.
  2. Monthly Installments. Sermon Series Designs memberships may be purchased initially as a one-year subscription with 12-monthly installments. The credit card on file will be charged each month until the installment plan is complete. A monthly installment plan cannot be canceled until paid in full.
