Really! I'll double check that. I'm just setting up a dummy site where all these issues can be checked. As I get more into the API I hope to find ways that we can control what happens. I do know for example that as a minium we can put up a 'Cancel' button for a previously made payment (within a sensible time limit) and I presume the same can be done with a subscription. Thnaks for the heads up.
