ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users who delete their account or remove the app may continue to be charged if they have not separately cancelled their subscription.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Deleting the account or app does not stop recurring charges; the reader must take an additional cancellation action.

How other platforms handle this

Tinder Medium

You agree that your Tinder account is non-transferable and all of your rights to your account and its content terminate upon your death, unless otherwise provided by law.

ActiveCampaign Medium

Inactivity does not constitute automatic cancellation, so unless you cancel your account in accordance with this section, you will continue to be charged for subscription to the Services.

Leonardo AI Medium

If you do not agree to the amendment, you may close your Account and cancel your Subscription with effect from the date of the change in these Terms by providing written notice to us.
