  14. 14.ELANA B and ELANAB.COM, if applicable for newsletters and other promotional aspects, is a monthly, reoccurring service which can be cancelled at the end of each month. At any time, and without cause, subscription to the Website may be terminated by ELANA B or ELANAB.COM, the site, or the subscriber upon notification to the other by electronic or conventional mail. When the member requests the termination, if this is for a subscription fee, these Fees are NOT refunded. Subscribers are liable for charges incurred by them until termination of service. If you request cancellation or request a refund from ELANA B or  ELANAB.COM, your bank, card issuer, or phone company due to unauthorized or fraudulent use, ELANA B or ELANAB.COM can at its discretion, to prevent further unauthorized use, block your information from use at all ELANA B and ELANAB.COM Clients’ websites. This will not, however, prevent unauthorized use at non-ELANA B and ELANAB.COM Clients’ websites, and is not a substitution for your contacting your appropriate channels to prevent further misuse. If you are taking advantage of a “Free” trial period through a credit card, please be aware of the following: ELANA B and ELANAB.COM will request and your bank will immediately put a “Reserved Funds” hold on your credit card for the amount of the subscription or workshop plan you have selected. If this is a free trial, and is cancelled within the timeframe allowed by the Website, it typically takes the banking system 7 to 10 days to remove the credit card hold from these funds. Please understand that ELANA B and ELANAB.COM has no way to remove this hold. During the trial period and for a minimum of 7 to 10 days after you cancel, these funds are considered out of your bank even though technically they are still there, and you could overdraw or exceed the limits of your account. You are responsible for any charges imposed by your credit card issuing bank for exceeding your account limits or overdrawing your account. If you are ordering Tangible Items, please be aware that ELANA B and ELANAB.COM will charge your account immediately for the amount of the transaction even though the items may not have yet been shipped.
