Hey, I didn't even set auto-renew or give permission for AppSumo to deduct $99 on my bank account today. This was done without my knowledge or consent, which is illegal—especially if the consumer has no awareness that this practice happens after buying a Plus membership once .

1. *I received no email my membership was expiring nor a reminder to renew my membership, and I always receive mailers from Appsumo*.
2. If I cancel today when it auto-renews, guess what? You lose all the benefits I paid for, including discounts and coupons.

Every one-year subscription I’ve purchased from businesses or SaaS products online clearly states auto-renewal upfront, asks for permission, and provides a toggle button or checkmark to choose whether to auto-renew as an option, yet Appsumo has no such option. Yet other tools/businesses, If you cancel membership with them, before the one-year ends, you still retain access to all the benefits I already paid for. Yet, AppSumo automatically deducts the money and then will likely claim it’s my fault if I complain, for not canceling before my membership expired. They offer no refunds if I decide I don't want the membership for a second year after auto-renewal, and if I cancel after the $99 has already been deducted, they remove all the benefits I paid for, even though those benefits should be valid for one year.

This is illegal practice. If they don’t change this, one day a customer or business will sue them in court. (P.s where are the T's &Cs on the Plus membership page? the answer is, there is none)
