Auto-Renewing Subscription and Fee Structure

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Leonardo.Ai subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel before the renewal date. Make sure you cancel in advance if you do not want to be charged for the next period.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users on paid Leonardo.Ai subscriptions face automatic renewal charges unless they proactively cancel before the renewal date, creating a financial risk for users who no longer wish to use the service — particularly relevant given that the document confirms subscription fees are charged upfront.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Cancel Subscription
    Log in to your Leonardo.Ai account, navigate to subscription settings, and cancel your subscription before the next renewal date to avoid being charged.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

If you forget to cancel before the renewal date, you will be charged for another subscription period — auto-renewal charges are a common source of consumer disputes and can be difficult to reverse once processed.

View original clause language
clause 4 (Subscription) which sets out important information about your Subscription, including whether you can cancel your Subscription and whether your Subscription auto-renews

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Auto-renewal provisions are regulated by the FTC's Negative Option Rule (16 CFR Part 425, amended 2023), which requires clear and conspicuous disclosure, simple cancellation mechanisms, and advance notice before renewal charges. California's Automatic Renewal Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17600-17606) imposes additional disclosure and cancellation requirements. Australian Consumer Law (ACL) requires clear disclosure of auto-renewal terms. EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) Art. 22 prohibits pre-ticked boxes for additional payments.
