Force Majeure Clause Invoked — auto-renewal trapped me in 3-year deal

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

auto-renewal trapped me in 3-year deal. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 13 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $62,000.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
