I was almost bitten by this before, though I think I've waited until the end of term and then canceled during that window of time as that was cheaper. I did find it outrageous, but I guess the contract is a contract, so I bit the bullet. (and I think it was something like 3 months left on the contract, with low tier Photographer bundle of sort.) I guess their model is bit different than the a lot of other software subscription offerings, as the most I encounter out there are prepaid for certain duration of time with no commitment. (You pay monthly, or yearly -- with some services offering something between, like 3 months or 6 months.) If you choose to not renew (or cancel the contract) your contract continue to the end of the term. (Though, time to time, particularly some Japanese services, I do encounter model where your service terminates at the moment you choose to not renew -- even if you had 364 days out of 365 days remaining on your contract.) It definitely is pretty much same as if you are paying for something up front. If you stop using the product in the middle of the term, you generally don't get refund for the remainder of the term, but it definitely feel bit different.
