For your discretion we do not use our product name in our descriptors. Please refer to the confirmation email you received after purchasing to review this information again.
Why was my card declined?: The most common reasons are an incorrect credit card number/security code, an expired credit/debit card, or an exceeded credit limit. If you are positive your credit card is valid, please contact our support for further assistance.
How do I upgrade my free membership to a premium membership?: If you would like to upgrade your membership, you must first be logged in to your free profile.
