The person is saying that the description says "subscription" which by definition automatically renews
- dangus 1y agoNot the definition of a subscription. See: magazines, traditionally purchased with one-time annual payments.
- ezfe 1y agoWell, those still recur automatically
- dangus 1y agoTo my recollection, not the old fashioned kind where you send in a check/money order for the annual subscription.
- ezfe 1y agoNo, I mean they recur monthly for the prepaid duration. The SQLite online is simply 1 term of access. There's no recurrence of any kind.
- dangus 1y agoAlright I’ll just head over to the dictionary. Emphasis mine, as long as the item is periodic in nature it’s a subscription. The SQLite online membership has a term of access so it’s a subscription. 3: an arrangement for providing, receiving, or making use of something of a continuing or periodic nature especially on a prepayment plan: such as a: a purchase by prepayment for a certain number of regular deliveries of something (such as issues of a periodical) or for a certain period of access to or use of something (such as an online service) b: application to purchase securities of a new issue c: a method of offering or presenting a series of public performances d (British): membership dues
