AI Summary

This bill imposes certain requirements on businesses that make automatic renewal or continuous service offers to consumers in New Jersey. The key provisions include: 1) requiring clear and conspicuous disclosure of the automatic renewal or continuous service offer terms, including the price and cancellation policy, before the consumer's subscription or purchase is fulfilled; 2) obtaining the consumer's affirmative consent to the offer terms before charging the consumer; 3) providing an acknowledgment with the offer terms, cancellation policy, and information on how to cancel; 4) providing an easy-to-use cancellation mechanism; and 5) deeming any goods sent without the consumer's consent as an unconditional gift.
