2. Purchasing a higher-tier VIP membership will automatically grant you a lower-tier VIP membership of the same duration. The higher-tier membership benefits will be used first during its validity period. If the higher-tier membership expires and is not renewed, the remaining lower-tier membership benefits will continue to be used until its expiration.

3. VIP Memberships take effect immediately upon successful purchase. If you make a new purchase while your current VIP membership is still valid, the new VIP membership will be extended beyond the current validity period of the corresponding VIP membership type; there will be no overlap or offsetting.

Please note:

If your original Apple Auto-Subscription or Google Play Auto-Subscription was not turned off, and you make a new subscription purchase using the same payment method and payment ID:

1. Apple: The unused portion of the subscription period from the previous active order will be cancelled before the new subscription period becomes active. The cancelled portion will be automatically refunded by Apple after being recalculated.

(This rule does not apply to iPhone/iPad subscriptions and Apple TV subscriptions, as they are not the same type of service.)

2. Google Play: According to Google Play's calculation rules, the unused portion of the subscription period previously purchased using this payment method will be recalculated into the new plan's validity period before being credited to the account and activated together with the new plan's validity period.

*If you have any questions about changes to the expiration date after purchase, we suggest you go to the [Payment History] page to see the details of your order and expiration date changes. Thank you.
