What it is

When a CPS subscriber reaches their maximum allotted bandwidth, their subscription is automatically and immediately upgraded to the next higher-cost plan and their payment method is charged at the new plan rate, unless they have proactively submitted a written Notice of Overage Disablement to billing@rumble.com before the overage occurs.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, CPS subscribers are automatically moved to a higher-cost subscription plan and charged for that plan upon reaching their bandwidth limit, unless they proactively notify billing@rumble.com in writing before each monthly period in which they wish to disable the overage upgrade. The agreement states that no refunds are available for CPS subscription fees, and the Notice of Overage Disablement must be submitted individually for each monthly period.

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.
  • Dispute a Fee
    To prevent automatic plan upgrades upon bandwidth overage for a given monthly period, send a written Notice of Overage Disablement to billing@rumble.com before reaching the Maximum Allotted Bandwidth for that period. This notice must be submitted separately for each monthly subscription period in which overage disablement is desired.
  • Cancel Subscription
    Within 5 days
    To cancel a CPS subscription and avoid further billing, email billing@rumble.com at least five days before your Subscription Anniversary Date or New Subscription Start Date requesting cancellation.
