Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, you can cancel anytime. Please note if you unsubscribe & the price goes up & you want to resubscribe down the road, your new subscription will be at the increased rate. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: If at any point, you do decide to cancel your membership with The Portfolio Building Creative Briefs, your access to the membership content, newsletter etc, is revoked the day that you cancel. For example, if you decide to process your cancellation two weeks into your billing cycle, you won't have access to the membership for the remaining two weeks you've already paid for.

We suggest that you wait until approximately 4 business days before your next bill is set to come out of your account, and then process your cancellation.
