What federal law requires
The Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (15 U.S.C. 8403) applies to subscriptions sold online with a negative option feature, meaning the seller keeps charging unless you act. The seller must clearly and conspicuously disclose all material terms before taking your billing information, get your express informed consent before charging you, and provide simple mechanisms to stop recurring charges1.
The FTC also adopted a broader Negative Option Rule, known as Click-to-Cancel. On July 8, 2025 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit vacated it in its entirety, before it took effect2. ROSCA still applies, and so do state automatic renewal laws, which differ by state2.

A cancellation checklist
Step 1
Before you subscribe
Find the renewal date, the renewal price and how to cancel on the checkout page. ROSCA requires these material terms to be disclosed before billing1.
Step 2
Save the confirmation
Keep the order email that states the plan, price and renewal terms.
Step 3
Note the cut-off
Boxes are often prepared before they ship. Check the company's deadline for skipping or cancelling the next box.
Step 4
Cancel the way the company offers
Use the account page or method the company names, and keep the cancellation confirmation.
Step 5
If charges continue
Contact the company first with your confirmation; then your card issuer. Your state attorney general's consumer office can explain your state's automatic renewal law.
