When you pay: Your first charge is seven days after we send your first prime-flow email during the trial, or 30 days after your trial starts, whichever comes first. Cancel before that date and you won't be charged.

What counts: Only an email reporting a watched river in its optimal flow range. Prime-flow emails are suppressed during a known closure or temperature warning. Adverse-flow, dry-gauge, temperature, closure and reopening emails, summaries and push notifications do not start the countdown. Trial terms.
