Spotify can raise its subscription price at any time by giving you advance notice. If you keep using the service after the price goes up, Spotify considers that as your agreement to the new price — even if you never explicitly said yes.
If Spotify raises your subscription price and you do not actively cancel before the effective date, you will be automatically charged the higher amount — your continued use is treated as acceptance of the new price. Users who do not closely monitor their email or account notifications are most at risk of unexpected charge increases.

Accepting a price increase through inaction (passive acceptance by continued use) is a practice scrutinized by regulators, and users who miss a price change notification may find themselves charged a higher rate without realizing they had agreed to it.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages the FTC Negative Option Rule (16 CFR Part 425, 2023 amendments) which requires that material changes to subscription terms — including price increases — be communicated in a clear, conspicuous manner with an easy-to-use cancellation mechanism. California's Automatic Renewal Law (Bus. & Prof. Code §17601) requires that any material change to subscription terms be communicated in a clear and conspicuous manner and that the consumer be provided a means to cancel. The FTC Act Section 5 (unfair or deceptive practices) applies to passive acceptance mechanisms that consumers may not notice. Primary enforcement authorities: FTC (federal), California AG and analogous state consumer protection offices.
