If a payment fails, we will automatically notify the client and allow two further attempts at payment within the following 7 days. If payment still hasn’t been received, social media posts will stop immediately, unless an agreement has been reached.

If a client wishes to cancel their agreement with O’Brien Media Limited, they must cancel their subscription via the website before their subscription renews. If this isn’t done, it is assumed that the client wishes to continue and no refunds will be issued.
