Obligated for 1 year???

I am shocked and so embarrassed that Adobe is based in San Jose where I spent 10 years of my life and where most of the companies there at least attempt to be decent.

I signed up for the free trial month of Adobe Stock even though that only allowed me 10 photo downloads, but it was to get me started and see if I liked the service.

I made the mistake of coming to cancel the service 1 day too late so I had to bite the bullet and allow payment of 36 euros for another month but I wrote on my calendar to cancel it 2 days BEFORE the next month was up.

So that is today only here is the surprise: it seems since I went into the first paid month that I am obligated to pay for a FULL YEAR. I had read the small print before the trial and I have re-read the small print now - it is not clear! Adobe should be ashamed of taking hard earned money for nothing. If I cancel now, I will have to pay 180 euros and I will get nothing. Now that I am on the cancellation page it is clear.

I feel cheated and will NEVER recommend Adobe to anyone, rather I'll let everyone I know that Adobe is sneaky and far too expensive, especially when there are billions of cheaper options out there by companies that are honest.

Why am I writing? I want to get out of this ridiculous subscription having overpaid for one month and let it be done. I do not want to pay 180 euros for nothing and I clearly do not want to pay 360 euros for a year! I quite honestly do not have the money since I am attempting to start out as a freelance. I would expect a well-known company like Adobe to release me from a sneaky, dishonest obligation to pay for a year when it is publicized as a monthly plan. Even nasty gym subscriptions handle things better than Adobe.
