"We totally get that plans can change, and we're here to make things as straight-forward as possible. At Layer5, we have a no-refund policy for all our subscription plans. That means once your payment goes through, it's non-refundable, even if you haven't used much of the time left in your billing cycle. This helps us keep delivering awesome access to our cloud native tools, collaborative features, performance testing, multi-cloud setups, and all the learning goodies in Layer5 Academy and Kanvas.",

That'll stop any future renewals and charges, but you'll still enjoy full access until your current period ends. We're all about helping you explore first, so feel free to try our Free Forever plan to dip your toes in with things like built-in models, community support, and basic testing before going paid.",
