When the Customer cancels the subscription, it will remain active until the end of the currently paid billing period at which point it will automatically cancel and will no longer be auto-renewed. Cancellation of the User's account of 3rd party services such as Shopify or other Ecommerce platforms does not cancel the User's DSers account. User is responsible for cancelling DSers account and any charges that incur because of lack of cancellation.
