This provision authorizes recurring charges to users' payment methods without additional affirmative action at each renewal period; users must proactively cancel before the renewal date to avoid being charged for subsequent subscription periods.

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.
Auto-renewal means charges continue without active re-consent, and missing the cancellation window before renewal results in another full billing cycle.
