The United States Court decisions define subscriber duties for newspapers. If no notice of discontinuance is given, renewal is presumed. A publisher may continue sending after a discontinuance order until dues are paid. If the paper is directed to a post office and not taken, the subscriber remains responsible until billing is settled. Moving without informing the publisher shifts responsibility to the subscriber.
