It's like subscribing to Dollar Shave Club and later finding out you can't shave your beard with the blades already sent to your home when your subscription expires because the TOS said the subscription is for shaving x times per month and the blades are owned by the company. Complete nonsense.

Except that dollar shave club sells you replacement parts at a reduced rate (eg 9$ parts for 6$ per month) while HP sends you ink cartridges that usually cost around 100$ for 3$ per month to use. The service wouldn’t make any sense for them if you’re allowed to use them outside of the subscription. This constant complaining about InstantInk is completely nonsense.
