36 months$2.00$72.00Displayed promo 'LIMITED OFFER 12 Months + 24 Months extra': 36 months for 72.00 USD (2.00/mo incl. VAT); page text says '72.00 USD billed every 12 months after 36 months' so renewal price appears to be 72.00 per 12 months (6.00/mo) but wording ambiguous. Plain 12-month-only price not shown. A 3-month tier (6.00/mo, 17.99 per 3 months) also exists. source

Per-month figures are the vendor's displayed monthly equivalent for the whole billed term, so terms of different length are not like for like. No currency conversion.
