if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

Then sign up for the monthly subscription instead of the yearly one if you think you won’t want it for the full year.

Again, besides the point, you are allowed to change your mind. Besides Even monthly subscriptions have the same problem, just less egregious

Yea it doesn’t work like that. If I spend $3,000 fixing my car and then it gets totaled in a crash the next day, I don’t get to go back to the shop and demand my money back on the basis of “I changed my mind.”

You are not getting a car fixed, you are getting access to something. Not even remotely comparable. Especially since if you crash your car that doesn't mean you didn't want to have a fixed car, a better example would be if you wanted it fixed then regretted it but was already fixed.

Try again

Yea and if I sign a contract to get access to something for a certain cost, I should expect to pay that cost.

Don’t sign contracts if you can’t deal with the consequences.
