SFAIK, it is illegal for you to be enrolled in a paying service without
your consent. However, if you have, at any time, accepted a trial of
Prime, you have agreed to it being automatically renewed when the trial
period ends. Given the way they present the options, it is not difficult
accidentally to chose to trial Prime when navigating to the checkout.

Except that having been caught that way once, I am uber careful.
