I just checked I have no payment method on file. Should protect me.

Without knowing any specifics of the TOS or the exact setup beyond what I could gather in this thread: generally speaking they could still send you a bill through email or otherwise.

After that, if you're not paying up, they might be able to successfully get the money out of you through court regardless, depending on a few factors. What's more likely for smaller sums is that they'll just drop it and ban you though.

IANAL of course.

Did you sign a contract? Then no, probably not.

Just because you are trying the free samples at a store, doesn't mean you can also take other food off the shelf without paying just because you left your wallet at home. Bandwidth still costs money.

I mean, I am fine with my hobby website being taken down if it starts to consume an unreasonable amount of bandwidth.

They don't need to give a free tier and I am not entitled to getting anything out of them. Since they have decided to offer one, I do expect to be consulted before sending a bill worth a ferrari.
