Auto-renewal clause
A contract clause that extends the agreement automatically for successive terms unless the customer provides written cancellation notice by a specified deadline.
In more detail
The clause has two parts. The auto-renewal extends the contract for successive terms (often one year). The cancellation window requires written notice sixty or ninety days before the renewal date. Miss the window and the contract continues.
Auto-renewal almost always pairs with an annual escalator (typically three to five percent), which means the contract gets more expensive on each renewal cycle even when the customer's usage stays flat.
Where this shows up at Ceven
Ceven's contract analyzer extracts the auto-renewal terms on intake, sets the calendar reminder for the cancellation window, and surfaces the alert ninety, sixty, and thirty days out. The customer cannot miss the window because the platform owns the calendar.
