<h2 class="title topictitle2" id="ariaid-title3">How can I get more resolutions?</h2>
<div class="body">
<p class="p">If you find you're running out of resolutions before the end of your billing month, you can
purchase bundles of additional resolutions.</p>
<p class="p">The additional resolution bundles are applied to your account for the number of
months remaining in your current billing term, and cannot be cancelled until the end
of that billing term. For example, if you have a 12-month billing term ending in
December, and you purchase a 50-resolution bundle in October (the 10th month of your
term), you will be billed $150 ($50 for each of the three remaining months in your
term), and will receive 50 additional resolutions at the beginning of each of those
months. Additionally, the additional resolution bundles will be automatically
applied when your contract is renewed, unless you request otherwise.</p>
