How to comply with US auto-renewal & cancellation laws

Federal ROSCA + 30+ state auto-renewal laws carry real penalties — clear disclosure, consent, and a cancel path as easy as signup. (The FTC's federal click-to-cancel rule was vacated in 2025; state laws still bite.) Check your flow.

Step by step

Work through these — each is a place compliance is won or lost. RenewProof's checker verifies every one for you in about a minute.

  1. How do you get consent to auto-renew?
  2. All terms shown BEFORE collecting payment?
  3. How can a customer cancel?
  4. Is cancelling as easy as signing up?
  5. Post-signup confirmation with the terms?
  6. Free/discounted trial that converts to paid?
  7. Advance reminder before annual renewal / price change?

The fast way

🪿 Don't do it by hand. The free RenewProof checker walks you through each step, flags exactly what's missing, and Clause drafts the fix for you — then re-check until you're clear. No signup, runs in your browser.
