Important Notice
- If the PayPal subscription is canceled, the corresponding TeraCLOUD capacity upgrade will deactivate at the end of the current subscription period.
- If all paid capacity upgrades associated to an account is deactivated, the account will be reverted back to a free account. In this event, any bonuses (long-term incremental bonuses) that are only valid for paid accounts will no longer be provided, and therefore be voided. Please exercise the upgrade payment settings with caution.
