Read the terms of service you clicked through
Terms of service are the contract you accept by signing up, and they often cover more than people expect: automatic renewal, what licence the provider gets to your content, when it can suspend your account, and how disputes must be brought. Upload the terms document you have, as a PDF or Word file, to a Search+ workspace, and ask one question at a time. Each answer cites the term it relies on.
Creating an account needs no payment.

Upload the terms with any acceptable use policy, subscription terms or additional product terms they incorporate, up to 10 files at a time.
- Note your situation in Workspace Context
For example: "I run a small business on a paid monthly plan; flag anything about price changes, cancellation and ownership of what we upload." Search+ applies it to each question.

Ask about renewal, cancellation, your content and dispute resolution as separate questions. Each answer carries inline citations to the supporting excerpt.

What reading terms of service involves
Terms often pull in an acceptable use policy, a privacy policy or product-specific terms by reference. The full contract can span several documents.
Many terms let the provider update them with notice, and treat continued use as acceptance. Check how notice is given.
Liability caps, disclaimers of warranties and dispute clauses together decide what a user can do if something goes wrong.
Consumer protection rules differ by country and state and can override some terms. Search+ shows you the wording; how it applies is a legal question.
Search+ takes the terms as a PDF or Word document. Note the effective date on the copy you upload, because terms change.
Every answer cites the term it came from, with the section number when the document has one.
