Your internet connection and any data charges are your own responsibility
The Roku Channel requires an internet connection to reach, and the document puts the cost of that connection on the user: data charges may apply depending on the user's data plan and are the user's responsibility to pay.

Qualifications & exceptions

You must cancel a free trial before it ends to avoid being charged
If a subscription includes a free trial, the document puts the duty on the user to cancel the subscription before the trial period ends in order to avoid being charged. It says cancelling in time is ultimately the user's responsibility.
Details
Who
The user with a subscription that includes a free trial
What it does
Cancel before the trial period ends
Condition

Supporting quotations
If your subscription includes a free trial, you must cancel the subscription before the trial period ends to avoid being charged.

Qualifications & exceptions
The duty applies only where the subscription includes a free trial.
Cancelling must happen before the trial period ends to avoid charges.
Responsibility to cancel in time rests on the user even though Roku may send a notice.
The document states that notification before a free trial ends is optional: the user may or may not be told the trial is about to end. There is therefore no promised reminder before charging begins.
Details
Who
Roku
What it does
May or may not notify the user that a free trial is ending
Supporting quotations
You may (or may not) be notified that your free trial is about to end
Qualifications & exceptions
Notification is described as something Roku "may (or may not)" give, so it is not promised.
Not stated here
Whether any particular subscription sends a trial-end notice, and by what channel, is not stated.

Recurring subscriptions renew automatically and keep charging until you cancel

Details
Who
The user
What it does
Cancel before renewal to avoid the next term's fees
When
Recurring subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled
Supporting quotations
Recurring subscriptions will automatically renew until you cancel. You must cancel your subscription before it renews to avoid the billing of the next subscription term’s fees to your account.
Qualifications & exceptions

Cancelling must occur before the renewal date to stop the next term's fees being billed to the account.
Cross-references

Roku may align all your subscriptions to one billing date and prorate the first period
Roku may set a user's subscriptions on The Roku Channel so they all share the same billing cycle, and the first billing period for an additional subscription may be prorated to line up with the existing subscription's billing date. A shorter first period can therefore still be billed for its prorated length.
Details
Who
Roku
What it does
Align billing cycles and prorate the first period of additional subscriptions
When
The first billing period of an additional subscription
Supporting quotations
We may set your subscriptions on The Roku Channel so that they all have the same billing cycle and the first billing period for additional subscriptions may be prorated to the same billing date as your current subscription(s).
Qualifications & exceptions
The alignment is something Roku "may" do, not something it promises in every case.
Only the first billing period of an additional subscription is described as prorated.
Not stated here
The terms do not describe how a prorated first period is calculated for any given subscription.
Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception
No refund is given for cancelling part-way through a term
The document states flatly that no refunds are given for partial-term cancellations, so cancelling in the middle of a subscription period does not return money for the unused part of that period.
Details
Who
The user cancelling a subscription
What it covers
Refunds for partial term cancellations
Exception
None are given
Supporting quotations
No refunds are given for partial term cancellations.
Qualifications & exceptions
The rule addresses partial-term cancellations specifically; it does not describe any other refund situation, which these terms leave unstated.
Not stated here
The terms do not address refunds in any other circumstance, so no refund route can be read from this document.
After cancelling you keep access until the period ends, with no further renewal

Details
Who
The user cancelling before the period ends
When
Access continues until the subscription period ends
Condition
The subscription will not automatically renew
Supporting quotations
If you cancel a subscription before the subscription period ends, your subscription (and your access to its content) will continue until the subscription period ends (it will not automatically renew in this case).
Qualifications & exceptions

After that the subscription will not renew automatically in this case.
Not stated here
The cancellation interface itself is reached through Roku support or the account pages, which are not part of this document.
