If you do not wish for any service to automatically renew, you may elect to cancel renewal, in which case, your Services will terminate upon expiration of the then-current term, unless you manually renew your services before that date. In other words, should you elect to cancel your product and fail to manually renew your Services before they expire, you may experience an interruption or loss of Services, and Hron One Group shall not be liable to you or any third party regarding the same. You can cancel anytime by accessing my.hron.one, selecting the active service you wish to cancel and click on the cancel service link, emailing us at [email protected] or calling +421 904 596 594. Services must be canceled at least (3) three days before the automatic renewal period, or they will be canceled after the next renewal period.

If for any reason Hron One Group is unable to charge your Payment Method for the full amount owed, or if Hron One Group receives notification of a chargeback, reversal, payment dispute, or is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to your Payment Method, you agree that Hron One Group may pursue all available lawful remedies in order to obtain payment, including but not limited to, immediate cancelation, without notice to you, of any domain names or Services registered or renewed on your behalf. Hron One Group also reserves the right to charge you reasonable "administrative" fees" for (i) tasks Hron One Group may perform outside the normal scope of its Services, (ii) additional time and/or costs Hron One Group may incur in providing its Services, and/or (iii) your noncompliance with this Agreement (as determined by Hron One Group in its sole and absolute discretion). Typical administrative or processing fee scenarios include, but are not limited to (i) customer service issues that require additional personal time or attention; (ii) UDRP actions(s) in connection with your domain name(s) and/or disputes that require accounting or legal services, whether performed by Hron One Group staff or by outside firms retained by Hron One Group; (iii) recouping any and all costs and fees, including the cost of Services, incurred by Hron One Group as the results of chargebacks or other payment disputes brought by you, your bank or Payment Method processor.
