See when your subscription renews and how to stop it
Auto-renewal terms decide whether a subscription continues by itself at the end of each period, whether the price can change at renewal, what reminder you get, and how and when you must cancel to avoid the next charge. They often sit in a billing section that refers to the plan page. Ask Search+ how renewal and cancellation work under the terms, and read the cited passages.
