Timing between billing charges is not to exceed 1 year between charges. This includes, but is not limited automatic renewal or installments. For example, if offering a 2 year option for a subscription or agreement, this option cannot be offered with a renewal flag of ‘C’ on automatic renew as the timing of between charges would be over 1 year.
