Question on: 9 Spokes
Can I leave 9 Spokes at any time?Your account

Show Less
You're free to discontinue using 9 Spokes whenever you like, but we'd be sad to see you leave! If you're thinking about leaving 9 Spokes, please get in touch with us and we will help work through any issues you may be having with our services.
Don't forget to read each app's terms and conditions as they may have a minimum subscription period for their individual service which exists irrespective of 9 Spokes. For example, some of our apps have an annual billing commitment. So if you have added an app through 9 Spokes, but decide to leave 9 Spokes before the app subscription period is up, you will still maintain a direct billing relationship with the app.
Please feel free to contact our Customer Success team at support@9spokes.com if you have questions about this process.
