> IANAL but if you agreed to a fixed term contract you can't just inform the other party that you are leaving early.

Also IANAL, but he whole point is that the user is still in the 14 days "free trial, just cancel", and Adobe is refusing to honor the "cancel" part, right? This approach can be handy, specially in countries where there is a way to send legally valid electronic notification letters.

No, during the first 14 days you can actually cancel for free. This is talking about months later when you discover the "annual commitment" part for the first time. It's a perfectly legal contract, just deceptive.

Is it? You can't actually just write whatever you want in the fine print and then claim that that is what was agreed to.
