AI Summary
This bill requires businesses offering subscription services that automatically renew for periods longer than one month to provide consumers with clear information and protections. Specifically, businesses must first provide an acknowledgment that details the automatic renewal terms, the cancellation policy, and how to cancel, ensuring consumers can keep this information. For free gifts or trials, this acknowledgment must also explain how to cancel before the consumer is charged. Before an automatic renewal occurs, businesses must send a reminder notice between seven and twenty-one days in advance, using a method agreed upon by the consumer, stating the renewal date and how to cancel. Businesses are prohibited from charging for an automatic renewal without fulfilling these acknowledgment and notice requirements; if they do, they must refund the full amount charged. Furthermore, if a consumer cancels within ten days of an automatic renewal for a subscription longer than one month, they are entitled to a pro-rata or full refund.
