Add metadata to my in-app purchase ios

My app was rejected because I didn't add metadata to the App Store:

App Store Metadata

We were unable to find the following in the metadata to be displayed on the App Store.

Information about the auto-renewable nature of the subscription in your app's description:

Title of publication or service

• Length of subscription (time period and content or services provided during each subscription period)

• Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase

• Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period

• Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal

• Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase

• Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable

– A link to the terms of use in either the app description or EULA field of App Store Connect

– A privacy policy link in the Privacy Policy URL field of App Store Connect

I can't find any metadata on my in-app purchase page in iTunesConnect. Here is my screenshots:

There are no any fields like Title, or Length here: enter image description here

I accurately filled up all fields on the page, and I have no idea how to add metadata to the App Store. Maybe it is in a different place of App Store Connect, but I haven't found it.

You need to add the relevant information to the actual app description in App Store Connect. You could also probably improve the description of the actual in-app purchase. - Paulw11
@Paulw11 It is relevant, and the description seems to be right... - Alex
So the general description field for your app contains all of the information that Apple has listed? - Paulw11
@Paulw11 Yes. Wait a moment I am going to make screenshots... - Alex

Many thanks to @Paulw11! My app was approved. The clue was to insert all metadata text into the app description like: 

---
Features:
....

Subscription:
[ price / length / title / 
  Account will be charged for 
  renewal within 24-hours 
  prior to the end ... etc ]

in my case it was approved after adding the following description to the end of the description:

Subscription:

• Title: Upgrade to premium

• Length of subscription: 1 year (length of the subscription)

• Price of subscription: price / Year

• Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase

• Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal

• Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase

• Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable

Actually the User should be informed in the application itself about the items listed in Alex's or Kkkk Kkkk's response.

Users should know exactly what they are buying/subscribing to. Therefore I actually interpret the Apple Human Interface Guidelines that you have to make them visible to the user before he starts with the inApp Process.

And in my opinion each developer should have the courtesy to the user to show those information in the application, this shouldn't be an Apple requirement only.
