That's a different deal where you pay once upfront. A user shouldn't have to open a different deal to see how they'll pay for something else.

Either way, that still doesn't tell you explicitly what the cancellation fee would be.

In Australia there is a thing called a 'Critical Information Summary' required for phone/internet plans. This is an sample of one from an old plan with similar terms to Adobe's (monthly payment, 12 month contract): https://imgur.com/a/bBVuip2 . It states how much it'll cost if you stay for 12/24 months. It also states the maximum that'll you'll have to pay to cancel, and how the cancel fee decreases as you go.

This isn't hard... they could put it upfront, but they don't and it only benefits Adobe.

Also, you might want to check those prices in the screenshot you linked, none match the price you would actually pay over 12 months, or the minimum cancel fee.




Would be nice if it was required for all subscription services and not just phone/internet.
