Dun&Bradstreet strict renewal policy - is this normal?
Few months ago I signed up for Dun & Bradstreet to track my company’s credit profile and check vendors before working with them. Pretty useful at first, but didn't make too much sense to keep the contract long-term, a bit too expensive for us atm.
I looked at canceling and I saw this - the contract auto-renews for a FULL YEAR unless you give at least THREE MONTHS notice? Is this for real? Even if it's legit and legal and all that, what's the explanation behind it, do they do all the work before the new year, and then just feed you old info for 12 months or what?
I've seen lots of shall we say "interesting" terms in other B2B tools and services, but 90 days is a lot. Do you just set reminders far in advance, can you work smth out if you miss that window?
