## Buy a membership
Choose the membership on the [Academy](/academy) page. Stripe handles the payment on its own page. Sign in first.

## Manage your membership
Email support@yachtmarinaguide.fyi from the address on your account to update your card or to cancel.

## Cancel
Cancelling stops the next renewal. Your access stays until the end of the period you paid for.

## If a payment fails
Your access stays for a short grace period of 7 days. Update your card before it ends.

## After the period ends
You need an active membership to take Practitioner and Specialist courses. Certificates you already earned stay on My Academy. They keep verifying until they expire.

## Refunds
Email support@yachtmarinaguide.fyi to ask about a refund.

## Billing problems
Email support@yachtmarinaguide.fyi with the address on your account.
