FAQ

Welcome to our FAQ page where we have growing answers to questions you ask us.

How long does my membership last? Can I cancel myself?

Q: I just opened an account on your website but I understand that first I have to pay $50 a year to be a Pro Member. So my question is- if I pay this $50 now, is it going to be valid for a year from today or only till the end of the year

A: Membership is valid for one year from the date you joined. E.g., if you joined July 1, 2011, your membership is valid till July 1, 2012. On that renewal date you will be automatically renewed for another year through Paypal, as you signed up originally with a Paypal auto subscription. You can stop this before the renewal date by logging into your Paypal account and cancelling your recurring subscription. You can also cancel your account on songsalive.org by clicking on "Account" top right.
I can't log in
