Funnily enough I've had that happen to me in a regular hotel... twice, on separate occasions/different hotels. It was startling for all involved to say the least.

Can't Adobe? We know they can, I believe they should be required.

I'd argue the goalposts are related. "adobe charges subscription cancellation fee" — Adobe do not tell you how much the fee is ahead of time. In the conditions of the Australian purchasing page, the monthly price isn't

Perhaps this is a country/regional thing, but I definitely do not expect to be on the hook for the whole year. In Australia it's quite common to have phone/power/gas/insurance plans that are 1/2 year contract

Contracts that involve money over time should state the exact amount you are obligated to pay in total , including any and all fees. Adobe does not currently do that. In Australia at least, they can renew your annual contract at a higher r

This could be a country specific thing but Adobe’s Australian site does not say that at all, quite the opposite. It doesn’t even state the monthly price in the terms, just refers to them. > “ Your subscription will automatically renew

At no point are you told what the total for the 12 months is, nor are you told the minimum cancellation fee.

That is the wrong price. The annual prepaid amount is different from the annual, paid monthly price.

That's a different deal where you pay once upfront. A user shouldn't have to open a different deal to see how they'll pay for something else. Either way, that still doesn't tell you explicitly what the cancellation fee w

No, the total amount (your contractual obligation) in your screenshot would be $635.88 + taxes.

Adobe aren't super clear with what the cancel fee would be. This: https://imgur.com/a/yQFQRKF is what is looks like when you sign-up. There is a final: 'By placing my secure order, I agree to Adobe's sub

This: https://imgur.com/a/yQFQRKF is what you see when looking at prices and after clicking Buy Now. It says "annual plan, paid monthly", but doesn't state the fee, it vaguely mentions the price. Clickin
