According to the contract, it renewed for another 2 year term when it was not cancelled in 2020, and will now run until 2022, at which point you can cancel it if you give proper notice 60 days before it ends.  In NY, however, there are some contracts in which automatic renewals are unenforceable.  I don't know if it is the same in Illinois.
