Why does Norton continue to be deceptive and try to manipulate subscription renewal?

@JamesR_Mills

every year I did the same thing, turned off the auto-renew, got a better deal before my contract ran out and away we go. However, EVERY year somehow the auto-renew gets turned on.

Hello @JamesR_Mills
Norton plans are recurring subscription…regardless via Norton direct or via retail/online vendor.

Users that do not want automatic renewal are urged to Unsubscribe and Delete their payment profile…far enough ahead…to avoid being billed
Users may shop price at reputable retail/online vendors.
Users may discuss price via Norton support.

Norton sends a notification email before each upcoming annual renewal (usually about 50-65 days ahead), so that you are not caught off-guard. This notification email provides important information, such as the price for the next annual term, and the subscription renewal and billing dates. This helps you to adjust your protection plan according to your needs.

Important subscription, pricing, and offer details:

• Details: Subscription contracts begin when the transaction is complete and are subject to our Terms of Sale and License & Services Agreement. For trials, a payment method is required at sign-up and will be charged at the end of the trial period, unless canceled first.
• Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless the renewal is canceled before billing. Renewal payments are billed annually (up to 35 days before renewal) or monthly depending on your billing cycle. Annual subscribers will receive an email with the renewal price beforehand. Renewal prices may be higher than the initial price and are subject to change. You can cancel the renewal as described here in your account or by contacting us here or at 844-488-4540.
• Cancellation and refund: You can cancel your contracts and get a full refund within 14 days of initial purchase for monthly subscriptions, and within 60 days of payments for annual subscriptions.
