I sent a terse letter to the company after the first package asking for a return authorization and shipping voucher. There was no response.
They are sneaky. They started charging my account $64 every two months. I did not notice this until doing year end statements/books. They are into me for $192, and still trying to get another $384.
I have contacted the company by phone. They claim I was aware that I would be charged and that it was clearly stated on their website. This is patently not true. I was very careful when ordering. This is internet commerce after all. These terms were not stated on the website. I believe they are behaving fraudulently. The upshot is they refuse to give me a refund.
My credit card company has blocked them, and they are trying to recover the last two charges. AVOID PIMSLEUR APPROACH AT ALL COSTS!!!!! Even if two charges are recovered I will still be out $64. If only the materials were better!

And you may cancel future shipments at any time by calling 1-877-802-5283."
Looks like you should have ignored the lark and actually READ the terms.
YOU werren't ripped off, other than possibly poor lesson materials.
You REALLY did agree to the terms and now don't want to pay.
