Automatic renewal clauses: how to spot them in any contract
Auto-renewal language is rarely called "auto-renewal." It hides behind terms like evergreen, successive terms, and unless terminated with notice. Here's how to find it fast.
Words to search for
Open the PDF and search: renew, renewal, evergreen, successive, term, notice, non-renewal, terminate, cancel. One of these will land you in the clause.
The three questions to answer
1) How long is the initial term? 2) Does it renew automatically, and if so for how long? 3) How much notice must I give, and by what method?
Red flags
Notice periods over 90 days. Notice required by registered mail only. Renewal fees or price uplifts baked in. Auto-escalation of pricing.
