What it is

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.

This analysis describes what Replicate's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

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.

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.
  • Cancel Subscription
    Email support@replicate.com requesting cancellation of your subscription. Your cancellation must be received before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the next subscription period. Confirm receipt of your cancellation request.

"
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.
