What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
I've been signed up to a web host for some years now, and I wish to cancel. However they are now wishing to bill me in advance for a month I will not use, because they say they require 30 days notice of cancellation. The monthly fee is $99.
This is in their terms of service, but the fine print, which could've said 360 days or 10 years and I can't imagine that would be an enforceable clause if it was so outrageous. I've cancelled with numerous web hosts before and never seen a 30 days notice requirement so it's not industry standard, although not totally out there like a hypothetical 360 day figure.
Do I have any legal recourse on this? Or am I completely obligated to pay?
