  Hi – I currently use a free theme but I’m thinking of buying one instead. Will this get rid of the ads, or do I have to upgrade to a monthly contract to get rid of them?
  Thanks

  Hi there, buying a premium theme will not remove ads. Ads are removed only when you buy an upgrade plan. https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  All WordPressdotcom upgrade plans are paid for the full year at checkout and are automatically renewed with the payment method on record unless you opt out.

  You have 30 days from the date of purchase to request a refund on everything but custom domain registration, which needs to be cancelled within 96 hours of registration to be eligible.

  Let us know if you have any other question about this.
