The auto-renewal mechanism establishes a continuous billing structure where charges recur absent affirmative cancellation action by the user. This provision operationalizes recurring revenue collection while creating an explicit cancellation pathway that users must actively invoke to terminate billing.
Users who do not affirmatively cancel will have their membership automatically renewed and their payment method charged at each renewal period, including at any updated pricing in effect at the time of renewal. The terms condition continued membership on active management of the cancellation process rather than requiring reaffirmation of charges.
