What does Early renewal mean?
An early renewal is a request to renew before the current account expires. Its effect on the remaining term depends on the applicable service rules.
Why it matters
Do not assume every provider adds the new duration to the old expiry, starts it immediately or preserves every account setting. Ask for the specific result in writing. Record the original expiry, requested term and confirmed new expiry together. This is especially useful when a buyer pays early for convenience but does not intend to discard the unused portion of the existing term.
