If you have unintentionally set up multiple active subscriptions through the App Store, you will simply need to cancel one of the subscriptions. Due to Apple's payment and security policies, we’re not permitted to cancel your subscription on your behalf, even when it’s a duplicate. However, we're happy to provide the steps you need to take to resolve this issue.

You can cancel a duplicate subscription from your iPhone, iPad, or computer. If you would like to retain access to our premium features, be sure to leave one subscription active!

Subscription access to Everand and SlideShare is also provided by Scribd.
