In unrelated news, music piracy is on the rise.

PS. I am sorry that my wording of this rubbed so many people the wrong way. This is a truly a nasty update of terms and agreements, and it's going to hurt a lot of people financially.

If it's all fine with you stay in. But if it's not you have a little over 30 days to get out.

Honestly I think that's perfectly fine.

You get ample opportunity to try the service you've paid for, usually at a cheaper bulk price vs monthly, and to decide you don't like it and refund your purchase. Beyond the 30 days is just you changing your mind and going back on a deal you made.

Why should the company have to come up with a refund just because you later decided you didn't need/want as much as you'd bought?

If it stopped working after the 30 days, sure you should be able to get a refund; but just because you decided you don't want it anymore? Most retail stores have a 30day refund window... Beyond that is an added courtesy

Most retail stores have a 30day refund window…

90 days is pretty standard. But also, retail stores are selling goods. Not wanting to accept goods that have been used for over a month is more reasonable than not wanting to refund a service that's not going to be utilized.
