What it is

Your paid Leonardo.Ai subscription renews automatically each period, and the company will charge your payment method unless you cancel before the renewal date.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

If you forget to cancel before your renewal date, you will be charged for another full subscription period, and refunds for auto-renewed charges are subject to the company's discretion and applicable consumer law rather than being guaranteed.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This clause creates an ongoing financial obligation that continues until actively cancelled; users who do not cancel before renewal will be charged for the next period automatically. The terms do not appear to guarantee refunds for auto-renewed charges beyond what consumer law in the user's jurisdiction may require.

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.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Auto-renewal practices are subject to the FTC's Negative Option Rule in the US, which requires clear and conspicuous disclosure, simple cancellation mechanisms, and affirmative consent. California's Automatic Renewal Law imposes specific disclosure and cancellation requirements. In the EU, the Consumer Rights Directive and national implementations impose similar obligations on subscription services. Australian Consumer Law applies as the governing jurisdiction. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Auto-renewal clauses are common in SaaS and consumer subscription services, but regulatory scrutiny of these practices has increased significantly in the US and EU. The adequacy of pre-renewal notice and the simplicity of the cancellation mechanism are key compliance considerations. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have specific statutory protections under the Automatic Renewal Law requiring explicit opt-in consent and clear disclosure. EU consumers may have rights under national consumer protection laws to cancel within a cooling-off period. US users should review whether the cancellation process meets FTC Negative Option Rule requirements for simplicity. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: For B2B customers managing multiple employee accounts, the auto-renewal structure means that subscription costs will continue accruing across all accounts unless each is individually cancelled. Procurement teams should calendar renewal dates and establish an internal cancellation process. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Review whether the pre-renewal notice period and cancellation mechanism disclosed in the terms meet requirements in all jurisdictions where the service is offered. The terms should be assessed against the FTC's updated Negative Option Rule requirements for US compliance and against applicable EU consumer protection directives for EU compliance.
