  • How do I remove the adverts on The Secret Vault?

    The Secret Vault website development, servers and support is primarily funded by advertisements which we display on our applications. We use advertising to allow us to keep our applications 'free to use' as we believe everyone should have access to the tools we create, regardless of their income or situation.

    We do however understand that advertisement can be annoying. If you prefer not to be shown advertisements you can hide them by providing a small monthly subscription which goes towards the costs of maintaining this service.

    To remove ads by setting up a monthly subscription, you will first need to register. Once registered go to settings > Advertising Control. In Advertising Control you can set up a monthly subscription and all ads will be removed from The Secret Vault when you are logged in to your account. Note that if you choose to purchase a subscription to one of the 'Limited Distribution' packages or 'Online Access to Lux Nova's Secret Books' then ads will also be removed as default.

  • How do I cancel my subscription to The Secret Vault?

    You can cancel your subscription at any time via your PayPal account. We will receive a notification of your cancellation and alter your account to display advertisements again and return your status to a standard free user.
