Abonnement

“Abonnement” is a term borrowed from French that refers to a subscription, typically involving a contractual agreement where a customer pays a recurring fee, often on a monthly or annual basis, to receive a service or product. This arrangement can apply to a variety of contexts, including magazines, newspapers, streaming services, software, and other goods or services. The key characteristic of an abonnement is the automatic renewal process, allowing subscribers continued access to the benefits of the service or product without having to make separate purchases for each use or delivery. The term emphasizes the ongoing nature of the commitment between the service provider and the subscriber.
