I'm not sure if your subscription is for a consumer or a business product or service, because different rules can apply to each category of agreement. In the original agreement for subscriptions, there are often terms that state, "these terms are subject to change..." and then it will often tell you what the notice is. "Without notice, with 10 days notice, by mailing you the new agreement, etc" Not all agreements have this, but a lot of them do. When you agree to the subscription, (again is this consumer or business?) you agree to the terms. Whether the change in terms requires a particular notice can also be guided by the industry. Banking? Other highly regulated industries? Another consideration for notice could be, "what is the monetary value?" For a $10 sub with a generous cancellation policy there may not be a requirement for notice given. Without knowing the agreement, whether it is for a business or consumer and without knowing the value of the subscription, I have to use the words everyone dreads, "it depends." But, I hope this helps.
