You reached the payment screen.
The price looked acceptable.
You scrolled just enough to find the confirm button.
The rest of the terms were skipped.
You clicked agree.
Later, you realized what you actually agreed to.
Why This Happens
- Payment terms are often long and visually compressed
- Key conditions are placed below the visible screen
- Users assume terms are standard and harmless
- Speed is prioritized over verification
What Was Usually Missed
- Automatic renewal clauses
- Non-refundable payment conditions
- Billing cycle start dates
- Limits on cancellation timing
What Agreeing Actually Means
- The terms are legally binding once accepted
- Support teams follow the agreed conditions
- Refund requests may be denied based on the terms
- “I didn’t read it” does not override acceptance
Skipping the terms does not skip their effect.
If you agreed, the conditions apply—even if you never read them.
