Auto-renewal clauses

How rolling contracts work and what to check before you are locked in for another term.

What auto-renewal means

The contract continues for another period unless one side gives notice by a deadline. That deadline is often 30 or 60 days before the end date.

Price changes

Some renewals allow the supplier to raise prices. Check if you can cancel if the new price is too high.

Calendar reminders

Put the opt-out date in your calendar when you sign. Missing it by a week can mean another full year.

Negotiating better terms

You can ask for email reminders, shorter initial terms, or renewal only by mutual agreement.
