This auto-renewal mechanism establishes the billing cycle structure and creates an affirmative authorization for recurring charges. The provision places the burden of cancellation on the subscriber rather than requiring affirmative renewal authorization.
The updated terms now require all disputes with Paramount+ to be resolved through binding arbitration rather than court proceedings, and prohibit participation in class action lawsuits. This means individual users cannot join group litigation against the company and must pursue disputes through a private arbitration process, which may be more costly and less transparent than court proceedings. If you disagree with these terms, you should review the full arbitration section before continuing to use the service.
