I needed to use Illustrator for a month, and now when I want to cancel it it says I need to pay around 120$ to as cancellation fee.

 

I selected the "pay monthly" option when I subscribed, why is this fee for?

Annual Plan, paid monthly means 12 months.  There is 50% early termination fee.

 

Monthy is for one month at a time and costs more per month. But you can cancel anytime, no fee.  See screenshot.

There are three types of plans:

Annual plan, prepaid   This is paid once and is an annual commitment because it is a discounted price.

Annual plan, paid monthly  This is an annual commitment because it is a discounted price.

Month-to-month plan   This can be canceled at any time without penalty, but is more expensive.

paying monthly for an annual subscription is still a commitment to an annual subscription and triggers a penalty for failure to remain subscribed for the full year commitment.

 

if you had subscribed to the monthly subscription, there would no sucjh thing as early cancellation.
