Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Are rollover clauses for business to consumer services valid in the State of California? I'm trying to determine if these "fine print" clauses would hold up in a court of law. My situation is with a residential alarm monitoring service. The contracted term was for two years. At the end of the two years, they just rolled the contract over for another year, with no notification to me. I was supposed to remember the exact date that the contractual term would expire. Can I sever business with this company without incurring a bill for another year? I am just two weeks past the expiration date and have sent them a formal request to terminate via registered mail.

The time to deal with "evergreen" clauses is before you sign them. The method of canceling is set forth in the Friendly Contract, which you should read.
