  • Requires clear and conspicuous disclosure of automatic renewal clauses both in the contract and during contract formation, with consumers required to affirmatively consent to renewal terms.

  • Defines "clear and conspicuous" as text in larger type, contrasting color/font, or set off by symbols, or for audio disclosures, in volume and cadence sufficient to be readily audible and understandable.

  • Mandates written notice 30-60 days before renewal for contracts with initial terms of 12+ months that renew for more than one month, disclosing renewal status, charges, contract duration, and a cancellation link.

  • Requires businesses offering automatic renewals online to provide free trial or introductory rate notices 3-21 days before expiration and allow consumers to terminate exclusively online at will using a direct link, button, or formatted termination email without obstruction.

  • Provides liability protection for businesses that demonstrate written compliance procedures, errors were unintentional, and provide full refunds or credits for all amounts billed from renewal to termination.
