Recurring billing is core to SaaS, so the auto-renewal disclosure, easy-cancel and renewal-reminder rules hit you directly.
The federal 'click-to-cancel' Negative Option Rule was vacated in July 2025, but ROSCA and 30+ state auto-renewal laws still require clear disclosure, consent, and easy cancellation — and the FTC reopened rulemaking in 2026.
Clear, upfront disclosure of the renewal terms before billing, affirmative consent to the recurring charge, and a cancellation path at least as easy as signup.
Several state laws require advance notice before annual renewals or price changes; sending one is best practice everywhere.
