Review vendor and customer agreements for clear auto-renewal terms, advance renewal and fee disclosures, recurring-charge authorization, and simple cancellation procedures that do not impose unnecessary hurdles. Check subscription terms, order forms, and product-marketing approval clauses to ensure advertised prices, cancellation fees, hardware costs, and customer-support availability match actual service.
