It appears that the Usenet.nl contract states that one must return any "performance" received to be able to cancel (even during the "so-called" free trial). As there is no conceivable way for one to "return performance, " no refund may be possible once one has used the service to download something. Also, irrespective that Usenet.nl apparently offers a monthly service option, it is not available when first signing up! One MUST initially sign up for their so-called "free trial, " by which one automatically agrees to pay for the Usenet.nl one year service plan "in full, " immediately upon expiration of the free trial if not first canceled (the cancellation of which, as previously stated, may not be possible)!!!
