prepaid

 * "prepaid access  to a resource  for a period of time." Subscriptions aren't always prepaid, are they? Mglovesfun (talk) 15:01, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Perhaps you are correct. But it is a sort of contract in which, before you receive it, you make a promise to pay for something. SemperBlotto 15:05, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There are free subscriptions also.
 * Payment terms is seperate to the fact that something is a subscription. A subscription is receiving a service or product over a period of time. Whether you pay for it before, during or after is a seperate fact.
