Federal Trade Commission Proposes Rule Provision Making it Easier for
Consumers to "Click to Cancel" Recurring Subscriptions and Memberships
Proposal seeks to make it as easy to cancel enrollment as it was to
sign up
March 23, 2023
The Federal Trade Commission today proposed a "click to cancel"
provision requiring sellers to make it as easy for consumers to cancel
their enrollment as it was to sign up. That is just one of several
significant updates the Commission is proposing to its rules regarding
subscriptions and recurring payments. The new click to cancel
provision, along with other proposals, would go a long way to rescuing
consumers from seemingly never-ending struggles to cancel unwanted
subscription payment plans for everything from cosmetics to newspapers
to gym memberships.
