ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a recurring, unilaterally determined price increase at each renewal term without requiring the customer's affirmative consent to the new rate. Enterprise customers and invoice-billed customers must provide 30 days written notice before the end of the current term to avoid renewal at the increased rate.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, the agreement automatically charges the customer's payment method at renewal, with fees increasing by CPI plus up to 3% per renewal term unless Calendly notifies the customer of a different rate. Customers who are invoice-billed or on the Enterprise Plan must provide 30 days written notice before the current term ends to avoid automatic renewal.
