ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause creates a recurring billing obligation that continues until affirmative cancellation action is taken by the user. This structure places the burden of discontinuation on the user rather than requiring affirmative renewal consent for each period.
