Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.
