Continuation in case of the decease of the account holder: The subscription will remain open regardless of the health state of the holder of the account and regardless of whoever gets access to that account posthumously.
Account Termination on behalf of the Subscriber: Should a Lifetime subscriber terminate his/her account and later decide to re-activate it, he or she may do so with no additional fees involved. A 'Lifetime subscriber' is a subscriber who effectively went over the 15-day warranty period.
Acts of God: global catastrophes, epidemics, crippling country or region de-stabilization or any other external factors critical enough to hamper partially or totally Vexels' activities.
