> While I agree it is "in the contract" it's not SUPER obvious that there is an early cancellation fee during the checkout process.

Because it’s common sense and practice.

Why would anyone commit to a yearly contract otherwise?

I wish common sense was truly common... overtime, I've come to believe it's not[0].

It is to you. Just imagine someone having a mental handicap or just tired and not paying enough attention.

Terms should be easy to read and understand, that is one part of accessibility.

If you have an actual mental handicap that's keeps you from understanding, you are usually not entitled to sign contracts without a supervisor anyway.

> or just tired and not paying enough attention.

Then you shouldn't be signing contracts in that condition. It's like complaining to the police that they caught you speeding and then excusing that with tiredness. I'm pretty sure the officer won't accept that excuse.

They are. It's your duty as a grown-up to read a contract before signing it.
