MEDGm's terms reject voluntary prepaid-plan refunds, but its refund policy allows a full refund within the first 72 hours if no services were received, and refunds for unshipped months on plans billed two or more months at a time.

The terms require 72 hours' notice before renewal but allow billing up to 10 days early; the refund policy refers to 72 hours before billing. Confirm the actual processing deadline and keep written cancellation confirmation.
