This clause creates a binding renewal obligation at potentially updated pricing unless the Customer takes affirmative action within the specified notice window. The combination of auto-renewal at then-current rates and the requirement to direct notice to a specific email address establishes a concrete operational procedure that customers must track proactively.
Under this clause, the subscription will renew automatically for the same term duration at Zendesk's then-current rates, which may differ from the original contracted rates, unless the customer sends a written email to revops@zendesk.com at least 30 days prior to the end of the subscription term.

"Unless either party provides at least 30 days' prior written notice of its intent not to renew, or the Order Form states otherwise, the Subscription Term will automatically renew for an equivalent term and Zendesk may apply then-current rates. Customer must send an email to revops@zendesk.com to notify Zendesk of its intent not to renew.Excerpt from Zendesk's Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Auto-renewal clauses in B2B contracts are subject to state contract law and, in some jurisdictions, specific auto-renewal disclosure statutes. California's automatic renewal law applies to certain contracts and may require specific disclosure of renewal terms. The FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices may be relevant if renewal terms or rate changes are not adequately disclosed. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The agreement permits Zendesk to apply then-current rates upon renewal without specifying a cap or advance notice requirement for rate changes beyond the general 30-day amendment notice in Section 11.4. Customers who do not actively track subscription end dates face automatic commitment at potentially higher rates. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California customers may have additional protections under California's automatic renewal law. EU customers should assess whether renewal terms are adequately disclosed under applicable consumer or commercial contract law, though this agreement primarily governs B2B relationships. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should establish internal calendar controls for subscription end dates to ensure the 30-day notice window is met. The specific email address requirement (revops@zendesk.com) means notices sent to other Zendesk contacts may not satisfy this obligation. Order Form terms may modify the default renewal behavior and should be reviewed for each subscription. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Finance and procurement teams should document subscription term dates and renewal notice deadlines. If pricing is expected to change at renewal, customers should request rate confirmation from Zendesk before the notice deadline to make informed renewal decisions.
