Click to cancel does not mean exactly what the name implies. It means cancellation must be as easy as signup [1]. In your example, signup is not a click away, so the cancellation process need not be. It’s a very reasonable position.

- danaris 2y agoTo be fair, the name "click to cancel" does not, in fact, imply that cancellation must be as easy as signup in cases where signup is not a click away. A name that would better imply that would be something like "symmetric cancellation", or "cancellation parity". However, that would be less catchy to the public than "click to cancel".
