Unilateral price changes

In plain English: the company can raise prices or change fees with notice—or sometimes without—and continued use often means you accept the new rate.

Why it matters

Budget assumptions break. A “locked-in” subscription price may not last the length of the cycle you thought you bought.

What to look for

“We may change prices,” “fees subject to change,” “new rates apply unless you cancel,” or price changes tied only to an in-product notice. Check how much advance notice you get.
