upon your express agreement to any updated General Terms; or

continue to provide you the membership, subscription, service or product for the remaining period that you have paid for on the General Terms or Member Terms without the amendment or update. This may result in you being unable to use or access new or updated features, services or products; or

you have materially breached these Member Terms or the General Terms and have failed to remedy the breach within 7 days of us notifying you of the breach, or if the breach is incapable of remedy;
you have committed any breach of clause 2.5 of these Member Terms, or clauses 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.7 or 3.3(c) of the General Terms;
you are not within a geographical area to which the Memberships and Paid Services are available as set out in clause 3.1 of these Member Terms;

remain liable to pay any subscription fees or charges for the remaining term of the Membership or Paid Services that have not been cancelled or terminated;

You may terminate or cancel your Membership or any Paid Services via our Website, the Apple App Store (if applicable) or by sending us an email at support@jamessmithacademy.com:
if we materially breach these Member Terms and fail to remedy the breach within 7 days of you notifying us of the breach, or if the breach is incapable of remedy; or

Such a notification may be treated by AOC as a request to terminate all Services (including any Membership) and other access to the AOC App, Website or Services that these Member Terms apply to. If the effect of that termination is to materially reduce or change the nature of any Membership or Paid Services that you have purchased from us, we will offer to do one or more of the following:
continue to provide you the membership, subscription, service or product for the remaining period that you have paid for on the General Terms or Member Terms without the amendment or update. This may result in you being unable to use or access new or updated features, services or products; or
refund to you a pro rata amount for the remaining period that you have paid for in respect of that Membership and/or Paid Service.
