Subscription Terms Drafting
Terms written from how your recurring service actually works, so the document and the system agree.
What you receive
At the end of this engagement, you will have a set of subscription terms that describes your renewal cycle, cancellation process, and price-change procedure exactly as they operate — along with a short summary written for the sign-up screen itself, so a customer never has to dig through the full document to understand what they are agreeing to.
Where recurring terms go wrong
Recurring-payment services are often built before the terms are written, or the terms are adapted from a one-time-purchase template that never quite fits. The result is usually not unlawful, but it can leave a customer unclear about when they will next be charged or how to stop — which is exactly where a complaint tends to start.
How the work is done
Drafting begins with a short description of how sign-up, billing, and cancellation work in your system, then builds the terms around that description rather than the reverse. This keeps the renewal mechanism, the stop procedure, and the required point-of-sign-up display consistent with what actually happens when a customer clicks a button.
Clause Excerpt Panel — Illustrative Sample Wording
Renewal Clause (draft) This subscription renews automatically at the interval selected at sign-up. Cancellation before the renewal date prevents the next charge; no charge is refunded for the period already in progress unless stated otherwise.
What working together looks like
Work begins with a short written or spoken description of the billing flow, followed by a first draft, one round of revision, and a final version paired with the sign-up summary. Questions about how a clause interacts with the payment system are addressed as they come up, rather than deferred to the end.

How the findings are checked
Each draft is checked against the recurring-payment disclosure requirements and against the description of your billing flow that you gave at the outset, so the terms and the system are read together. The shape of the job — first draft, one revision, final version — shows where the work stands.
Clarification and limits
One round of revision is included at no extra charge if the first draft does not yet reflect how your service works. Drafts are general-information documents for your own use, not legal advice, and we cannot promise how a customer or an authority will treat the wording. You are free to adopt it exactly, adapt it, or leave it.
