Adobe tricks users into a 12 month contract
I don&#x27;t understand this. It&#x27;s a free 7-day trial. If I cancel during the 7-day trial, the following cancellation terms apply: If you cancel within 14 days of your initial order, you&#x27;ll be fully refunded.<p>7 &lt; 14.<p>Also, it&#x27;s not even clear if the 7 days do even count towards the 14 days, since in that case they could just as well state &quot;first 14 days are free&quot;. But they are not free, since they belong to the first subscription month. They&#x27;d be 14 consumed days of the first month if no cancellation is made.<p>This should mean that the 7 days are not a part of the initial order. The initial order would get placed automatically after 7 days, you are just expressing your intent to automatically order after the 7 days of trial.<p>If this is not true, then they are definitely scamming their users, but I doubt that they would risk going to court for this.<p>But what I definitely think is a big scam is the 50% cancellation fee of the initial order, <i>with the condition</i> that you only get to use the remaining days of the month.<p>For example, if you cancel in the third week, you still have to pay around USD 300 (the tweets indicated a USD 600 per year cost), but you only get one week for that, instead of being able to use the full 6 months (50% of a year) you are actually paying for.<p>---<p>If I go to that page, there is the following text (it&#x27;s also in his Tweet):<p>Cancel before --&gt; 26 Feb [today is 5 Feb] &lt;-- to get a full refund and avoid a fee. You can cancel your subscription anytime via your Adobe Account page or by contacting Customer Support. Learn more.<p>This means that they are actually giving you a cancellation right of 7+14 days, just as mentioned in the &quot;subscription and cancellation terms&quot; plus the 7 days.<p>According to Wolfram Alpha &quot;today + (14 + 7) days&quot; = Feb 26, 2022<p>So no, you are not getting scammed with this free trial.
