AZ HB2010

Sellers of digital goods (e-books, movies, music, games, apps) are prohibited from using terms like "buy" or "purchase" unless they disclose that the transaction is actually a license that can be revoked, and obtain affirmative acknowledgment from the purchaser.

Sellers must provide a clear, conspicuous statement before each transaction explaining that the purchase is a license, with a hyperlink or QR code to the full terms and conditions, presented separately from other transaction terms.

If license terms change in ways that materially affect a purchaser's access after the transaction, the seller must notify the purchaser and offer a prorated refund calculated at 10% per year declining value, with no refund available after 10 years.

Exemptions apply to subscription services, free digital goods, content available for permanent offline download, blockchain-based assets like NFTs, and educational materials from libraries or open-source platforms.

Violations constitute unlawful practices under Arizona consumer protection law, enforceable by the Attorney General; the act is titled the "Making Internet Non-ownership Understandable for Streaming Act" (MINUS Act).
