The Listings and/or accounts that may be subsidised will be chosen at the sole discretion of the Area Supporter.

This applies equally to monthly and annual subscriptions.
14. We will also notify you by email when an Area Supporter subsidy is about to expire so that any changes to the price of your upcoming subscription renewal are clearly explained and expected. Once an Area Supporter subsidy expires, all previously discounted subscriptions will revert to their unsubsidised prices.
