Auto-renewal

On this site, auto-renewal means a plan or membership that bills again on its own at the end of each term unless the reader cancels it first, in the company's own words.

It appears in a review only where the company's own page says it — a footnote under a membership price, a line in a refund policy, a plan card. The review quotes that line and records what the renewal charge is where the company publishes one, because the renewal figure is often not the figure the plan was sold at: a first month at a promotional rate that renews at the standing one, or a six-month plan whose monthly renewal is priced higher than the plan itself.

What this site does with it: the standing rate, not the promotional first charge, is the figure a review opens with, and where a company publishes a cancellation deadline before renewal the review prints it. Whether a renewal clause is enforceable, or what notice a company owes you, is not something these pages assert.

Why this word has a page

5 of the 51 reviews published on this site use it. A word gets an entry here at 5, measured against the reviews' own text every time the site builds — so this page cannot outlive the usage that justified it.

Every review that uses it

Each line is the sentence the word appears in, taken from our review of that company, with the full review a click away.

2 of the 5 reviews above use the word only inside a passage too long to quote here in one piece. We would rather link the review than cut a sentence out of the middle of a quotation.
