Replicate subscriptions renew automatically and you will be charged for the next period unless you cancel before the renewal date. Cancellation must be received before renewal to avoid the next charge.

Auto-renewal charges are a common source of unexpected fees. Missing the cancellation deadline by even one day can result in being charged for a full additional subscription period with no refund guarantee.
Users who forget to cancel before their renewal date will be automatically charged for the next subscription period. The agreement does not describe a refund mechanism for missed cancellation deadlines, meaning the financial risk falls entirely on the user.

"Some parts of the Services are billed on a subscription basis with automatically recuring payments for periodic charges. The Subscription will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select on your Account, and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period unless you cancel the Subscription or we terminate it. If you activate a Subscription, then you authorize Replicate or its Payment Processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Period to your account.— Excerpt from Replicate's Replicate Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Auto-renewal subscription terms are regulated at the state level, most prominently under the California Automatic Renewal Law (ARL), which requires clear disclosure, affirmative consent, and easy cancellation mechanisms. Similar laws exist in New York, Illinois, and other states. The FTC has issued enforcement guidance and rules on negative option marketing that may apply. Failure to comply with state ARL requirements may render the auto-renewal charge unenforceable or expose Replicate to regulatory action. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The clause discloses auto-renewal clearly, which reduces but does not eliminate regulatory exposure. Key questions are whether the cancellation mechanism (email to support@replicate.com) satisfies 'easy cancellation' requirements under applicable state ARLs, and whether the pre-renewal notice obligations are met. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California's ARL creates the highest exposure, requiring that cancellation be available online if signup was online. New York's Automatic Renewal Law and the FTC Negative Option Rule also apply. International users in the EU may have cancellation rights under the Consumer Rights Directive that supersede these terms. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The cancellation method described (email to support@replicate.com) may not satisfy 'easy cancellation' requirements in jurisdictions that mandate online cancellation for services purchased online. This should be flagged as a compliance review item. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that pre-renewal notice is sent within the timeframes required by applicable state ARLs, that cancellation confirmation is provided, and that the cancellation mechanism meets accessibility and ease-of-use standards required by law. The absence of a stated refund policy for inadvertent renewals is also worth reviewing.
