Compare payment & fees governance provisions between GitHub and Cursor. Provisions are extracted from monitored governance documents and classified by severity.
This clause operationally enables GitHub to adjust service fees unilaterally while establishing a procedural framework requiring advance notification and an implicit acceptance mechanism through continued use. The provision allocates pricing modification authority to the service provider rather than requiring mutual consent to fee changes.
Consumer impact
Users on paid plans are subject to price increases initiated by GitHub, with the obligation to either accept new rates through continued service use or discontinue the service. The terms authorize GitHub to change fees with 30 days' advance notice, placing responsibility on users to monitor notifications and make continuation decisions based on new pricing.

Actual clause text
If you are on a paid plan, you agree to pay us the monthly or annual fees indicated for that service. We reserve the right to change our prices. If we do change prices, we will provide notice of the change on the Site or in email to you, at our option, at least 30 days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the paid Services after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount.

The clause creates a continuous billing cycle with an affirmative cancellation requirement, establishing that subscription continuation is the default state unless the user initiates termination within a specified timeframe. This structure allocates responsibility for service continuation management to the user.
Consumer impact
Users are obligated to affirmatively cancel their subscription at least 24 hours before the renewal date to prevent automatic billing for the next subscription period. Failure to cancel within this window results in the subscription renewing and the periodic fee being charged to the account.

Actual clause text
The Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select on your account (such period, the "Initial Subscription Period"), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a "Subscription Period") unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we terminate it. You must cancel your Subscription Service at least 24 hours before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. YOUR CANCELLATION MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID CHARGE FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.

Stripe's arbitration clause is narrower than Amazon's in one key respect: it includes a small claims court carve-out that Amazon's clause does not. PayPal's clause is the most aggressive of the three, explicitly waiving jury trial rights in addition to class action rights. From a compliance perspective, Amazon presents the lowest risk for B2B contracts while PayPal creates the highest exposure for consumer-facing applications subject to CFPB oversight.
