What it is

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each term at the then-current price, and payment is charged to the stored payment method at the start of each new term unless cancelled before the renewal date. Peacock reserves the right to update stored payment details, including card number and CVV, through the payment provider.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision requires consumers to actively cancel before the next billing date to avoid charges, and authorizes Peacock to obtain updated payment credentials from the payment provider without further action by the user, which creates an ongoing billing relationship that persists until affirmatively terminated.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, subscription fees are charged automatically at each renewal unless the user cancels no later than the day before the next billing date; no prorated refunds are issued for the remaining term unless required by applicable law. The agreement also authorizes Peacock to retrieve updated card details from the payment provider to continue billing if stored credentials expire.
