Increase in monthly charge, without being notified!

Hi. I have an academic individual CC subscription. It automatically renewed last October (2014), however the monthly rate increased from €19.99 p.m. to €30.74 p.m.
I was not informed beforehand of this increase, as per my contract, which states that:
"the price is valid for a full 12 months. After that, we'll renew your contract automatically unless you cancel. The price is subject to change, but we will always notify you beforehand."
This is very dishonest of Adobe, and furthermore breaks the terms of my contract. Has anyone else had this problem?
Many thanks in advance.
A.

What Mylenium said.
There's no dishonesty here but perhaps Adobe's admin could use some improvement e.g. email to notify you of what happens in month 13 when the auto-renew kicks in.
When you signed up originally, it was for the promotional pricing for the first 12 months which auto-renews.
Terms and Conditions | Adobe
The Terms of the offer say:
"$19.99/month Creative Cloud Introductory Pricing – Save 60%
Eligible  students 13 and older and teachers can purchase an annual membership to Adobe® Creative Cloud™ for a reduced price of $19.99/month for the first year. After the first year we will renew your contract automatically for another year at the then-current standard monthly price (currently at $29.99/month), unless you cancel."
So, in short, you were notified 12 months ago but a reminder 12 months later would have alleviated this confusion for you.

  • Is this how to treat your loyal customers !? (Massive increase in monthly charges!)

    So I've been with Verizon for 2 years now and my services are up for renewal.
    I decided to go to the Verizon website to check out what renewal / upgrade options were available to me. The usual prompt to talk to a CSR came up and thought what the hell, lets see what they can do for me. 
    The conversation started with them thanking me for being a loyal customer to Verizon, but then the conversation took a turn for the worst.  Not so much with the agent but more of what he could or as the case is NOT offer me.
    The CSR first informed me that I could have exactly the same package as I have now for an increase of just $10 m/o.  I was even informed that my internet speed would increase from 35mb to 50mb. 
    However this was incorrect !
    My current Triple Pay pack (purchased 2 years ago) was $109.99 m/o.  I also have Multi Room DVR ($39.99 m/o) along with HBO ($16.99)  With taxes etc my monthly bill is $186 ish.
    After a long conversation with the CSR it appears that TRIPLE PLAY is now a whopping $154.99.  For me that's nearly a $50 increase !
    Add to this the $39.99 for multi room and an increased price for my HBO service of $19.99 and my monthly payments jumps from $186 to $219, an increase of $30.
    This also includes the $5 monthly discount.
    What I thought would be a painless transition to a new contract as now turned into me considering leaving Verizon.  I can't justify paying $30 + taxes extra each month for the same services I've had for 2 years !
    Is this really how Verizon say "Thanking for being a loyal customer"....
    This is not a complaint against the CSR agent.  Infact they were really helpful, its more a complaint about the treatment of so called "Loyal" customers !

    OK.. I'm thinking of taking this further as surely this is false advertising !
    On the front page of MY VERIZON
    Note that it states "LOCK IN YOUR CURRENT BUNDLE DEAL PRICE FOR 2 YEARS !!!!"
    OK, so heres is my current bundle deal ! as seen on my bill....
    So why cant you do exactly what your website is telling I can.
    Instead the CSR tries to sell my a bundle deal at $154.99 m/o !

  • Random disconnections... Without being notified?

    I'm experiencing a very frustrating problem. I can never really seem to stay logged on to AIM for very long regardless of the client I'm using. Here's the kicker, though: I'm never notified that I have been logged off, or that I have lost my connection. I can be in the middle of a conversation with somebody to find that they stop responding. I then log off and log back on to be told that I had logged off long before I had noticed that they stopped responding to my IMs. I have reviewed the forums to see people complaining of being logged off with some sort of error alert along the lines of "Connection lost." I'm given no such notification, in fact nothing appears different. Sometimes it deceives me to the point where I am "logged off" while they are typing, so I'll be sitting there being told my buddy is typing for five minutes, amazed at how long an IM this must be, before I finally realize that perhaps I'm not actually online. Another important thing to note is that my connection to the internet is not an issue, I surf the web without any problems while this whole ordeal goes on. I'm using a wireless router; Netgear to be specific. This is so irritating. I've tried switching ports (to 443); it did me no good. Please help!

    Hi,
    It is most likely caused by micro breaks in the wireless connection.
    This tends to be caused by interference by other electrical equipment such as Microwave cookers, power bricks for other devices, electrical cabling in walls, those walk about phones (wireless) that are on the same frequenecy and the like.
    Changing the channel in the router can help. As can engaging "Interference Robustness" in the System Preferences > Network > Airport > Airport tab.

  • Is it possible for an iPhone 3GS to charge without being plugged in?

    When I turned off my phone, it was at 60% power. The day after, I turned it on and it was at 80%. This is NOT a joke. What happened?

    The battery percentage indicator needs to be calibrated. For that, you need to drain down the battery way to 3-4% and charge it back to 100% without any interruptions. Let it get charged for 15 min more even if it's showing that it's fully charged and can be disconnected. No hardware problems as such!

  • How can i sign into icloud on my pc without being notified every time?

    I appreciate Apple's efforts to protect my account. However, since iCloud has built into its system the ability to access my account from my PC, I don't think it is necessary to notify me by e-mail each time that I do so. Is there a way of somehow turning notifications off? Or at least request that they leave a cookie on my PC so they know its really me?

    Got the same problem

    You may not be able to get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    It's possible they'll make an exception for you, particularly if the problem was on their end preventing the movie from downloading in a reasonable time.
    Good luck.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.

    Open itunes on your computer.  Click Store>Check for Available Downloads

  • HT1657 A movie I rented failed to download and I was still charged.  I can not figure out how to retry the download without being charged again.  Any thoughts?

    I rented a movie teh other night and started the download.  It was taking a while so I went to bed.  In the morning there was an error message and the movie did not download.  I did nothing as I figured I would just try agian another day.  A few days later I received my receipt by email.  I had been charged even though I never got access to the movie.  I tried to access the download again, but can not figure out gow to download the movie agian without being chraged.  PLease help.

    You could try the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option. If that doesn't start it downloading then you will need to contact iTunes support (rentals are a one-time only download, so they will need to add it back into your queue).
    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film, click the arrow to the left of it and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Can I download software from App store that I already own the disc without being charged?

    I own Call of Duty 4 on disk and it is loaded on my MBP, but I was wondering if I can download it from the App store so that any updates, for example, can be kept up to date, without being charged again for the software?

    No unfortunately that is not possible. If you bought the app on disk you would have to buy it again to get it from the app store.

  • Downloading Adobe Export PDF Again without being Charged Again!

         I would like to know if I can download Adobe PDF once again onto my computer without being charged the annual fee of $ 19.95 annually since I am already a Adobe ExportPDF user from when my computer did not crash to where I had to go back to the very beginning after the crash.  I lost all of my files including my Adobe Export PDF.  Can I redownload Adobe Export PDf without my checking account losing the $ 19.95 annually since I have already paid for it before my computer crashed and I had to go back to the beginning to where none of my old files were saved.  My adobe id is [email protected] and this is also my e-mail address.
