Your Cloudflare subscription will automatically charge your saved payment method at the end of each billing period unless you actively cancel before the renewal date.
This analysis describes what Cloudflare's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The clause creates a continuous subscription model where active renewal occurs by default rather than requiring affirmative user action for each billing cycle. This establishes the operational framework for recurring payment collection and makes cancellation a prerequisite to service termination.
If you do not cancel before your billing period ends, Cloudflare will automatically charge your stored credit card or payment method for another full period, and refunds are generally not available.

"Unless you notify Cloudflare before the end of the applicable subscription period that you want to cancel, your subscription will automatically renew and you authorize us to collect the then-applicable annual or monthly subscription fee for such subscription (as well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism we have on record for you.— Excerpt from Cloudflare's Cloudflare Terms of Use
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Auto-renewal provisions are regulated under the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA), 15 U.S.C. §8403, which requires clear disclosure of automatic renewal terms, affirmative consent, and simple cancellation mechanisms. California's Automatic Renewal Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17600–17606) imposes additional requirements including clear and conspicuous pre-enrollment disclosure, affirmative consent, and acknowledgment of renewal terms. Similar laws apply in New York (General Obligations Law §5-903) and other states. The FTC Act Section 5 also governs deceptive auto-renewal practices.
