Bill Summary
This bill requires an online option for the cancellation of health club services subscriptions entered into online and provides additional options for canceling health club services contracts under certain circumstances. Under the bill, a subscription service provider is required to provide a consumer with an online option to initiate the termination of the subscription service entered into online in accordance with the established billing terms and conditions of the agreement. In addition, the direct link or button provided to the consumer to initiate termination of the subscription service is to be accessible through: (1) a customer account or profile on the subscription service provider's internet website, or the user settings on a consumer's smartphone or tablet; or (2) a termination email formatted and provided by the subscription service provider that a consumer can email to the subscription service provider without being required to provide any additional information. If a consumer chooses to cancel a health club services contract by mail within three days of entering into the contract, as allowable under current law, the cancellation letter must arrive within three days of entering into the contract. If a consumer chooses to cancel a health club services contract by telephone within three days of entering into the contract, the consumer is to call the health club facility location where the consumer entered into the contract.
AI Summary
This bill requires that if a consumer enters into a health club services contract online, they must be provided with an online option to cancel their subscription, accessible through their account, smartphone settings, or a provided cancellation email. It also clarifies existing cancellation rights, stating that if a contract is canceled by mail within three days of signing, the letter must be *received* by the health club within that three-day period, and if canceled by phone, the call must be made to the specific health club location where the contract was signed. The bill defines "automatic renewal" as a subscription that automatically extends for another term after its initial period ends, and "subscription service" as health club services provided on a recurring payment basis.
