> But disputing a valid payment is nothing more than theft.

I'm always happy to steal from companies that turn my free trials into subscriptions. I'd steal more if I could.

You're coming at this as if the service provider is innocent, and merely providing a service. But we're talking explicitly about companies that give you free trials with the "asterisk, ps, you will pay real money in for this every month on this".

No, this subthread is definitely about cancelling services in general.

As in you were skimming through the signup and didn't notice the part where you typed in your credit card details and clicked the subscribe button? That seems unlikely.

If you don't want to buy something, the best policy is not to buy it. Then you won't have bought it by accident and have to get your bank involved to unbuy it.


You said in another comment that your service requires explicit user action to convert from free trial to paid subscription.

So why are you pretending not to know the difference in this comment?
