You signed up for a free trial, forgot about it, and now there is a charge on your card for a full year. Your odds of getting that money back depend a lot on where you live. Some states make sellers ask for clear consent, send a reminder weeks ahead and let you cancel with a click. Others have no general rule at all.
This page explains how those laws work, which states go furthest, where business buyers are protected too, and what federal law still applies now that the FTC's 2024 click to cancel rule is gone. The full state table sits below, so here we focus on what the rules mean for you and what to do next.

How do automatic renewal laws work?
Most state laws follow the same basic pattern. Before you pay, the seller has to show the renewal terms clearly and close to the button you click. Then it needs your affirmative consent before charging, and it has to send you an acknowledgment you can keep that says how to cancel.
The stronger laws add two more pieces: a reminder before the plan renews, and a cancellation method that is as easy as signing up. California is the usual benchmark. Under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17600 to 17606, a plan of one year or more needs a notice 15 to 45 days before it renews, price changes need notice 7 to 30 days ahead, and online sign ups need a click to cancel link or button.
New York goes further on price. A price increase needs your consent, or the seller has to give you a 14 day window to cancel with a prorated refund. Minnesota limits the save offers a company can push at you when you try to leave, unless you agree to hear them.
A newer wave of laws has filled in gaps. Arkansas added its law in 2025, Maryland's took effect on June 1, 2026, and Connecticut added a yearly reminder for every auto renewing agreement from July 1, 2026. Massachusetts now regulates renewals through an attorney general rule that took effect in September 2025. If you checked your state's rules a few years ago, they may have changed since.
Which states require a reminder before your plan renews?
21 jurisdictions, counting DC, set a fixed reminder window. The windows differ more than you might expect, and they usually apply only to longer plans, often one year or more.
If your state has a law but no fixed window, you are not out of luck. Oregon and Kentucky focus on consent, clear terms and easy cancellation instead. Minnesota requires a yearly written notice for ongoing subscriptions. Tennessee requires notice of when you will be charged if the renewal falls more than 60 days after you agreed.
- Colorado: 25 to 40 days before a renewal that extends the contract past each 12 months.
- Delaware and DC: 30 to 60 days before the cancellation deadline for longer contracts.
- California, Maryland and Arkansas: 15 to 45 days before a plan of one year or more renews.
- North Carolina: written notice 15 to 45 days before any renewal longer than 60 days.
- Massachusetts: written notice 5 to 30 days before the cancel-by date for terms over 31 days.
- Utah: 30 to 60 days before a paid plan renews, plus a warning at least 3 days before a trial ends.
Do auto-renewal laws cover business contracts?
Usually not. Most of these laws protect consumers, so a SaaS contract your company signs often falls outside them. Two states are clear exceptions. Colorado's law has covered business buyers since February 2026, after SB25-145. North Dakota's law is written broadly enough to reach business buyers, requires a written reminder 30 to 60 days before renewals longer than 6 months, and caps renewal periods at 12 months.
Wisconsin is the odd one out. We count it as having no consumer law, but Wis. Stat. § 134.49 requires disclosure and a 15 to 60 day renewal notice for business equipment leases and business service contracts.
A few states only regulate certain kinds of contracts. Florida's law (Fla. Stat. § 501.165), New Mexico's rule and South Carolina's 2024 law focus on service contracts. Maine's covers online subscriptions such as apps, streaming, software and games, along with gym memberships. If you buy software for a business anywhere else, your protection mostly comes from the contract itself, so read the renewal and notice clauses before you sign.
What federal law applies to subscriptions?
The FTC finalized a broad click to cancel rule in 2024, but the Eighth Circuit vacated it in July 2025 (Custom Communications, Inc. v. FTC). On February 12, 2026, the FTC restored the older Negative Option Rule text at 16 C.F.R. Part 425, which covers prenotification plans like book or record clubs. It published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on March 13, 2026. As of October 11, 2026, no new federal rule is in force.
That leaves the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA, 15 U.S.C. 8401 to 8405) as the main federal law for online subscriptions. It applies in every state, including the 24 with no general auto-renewal statute. ROSCA requires sellers to disclose material terms before taking billing information, get your express informed consent, and give you a simple way to stop recurring charges.
How to cancel an automatic renewal, step by step
- Find your acknowledgment email or account page. Many states require sellers to send one, and it should list the cancellation method.
- Note how you signed up. 18 states require an online way to cancel in that case, such as a link, a button or a ready made cancel email.
- Cancel through the same channel you used to join. California, Maryland, New York and Massachusetts all tie cancellation to the sign up medium.
- Ignore save offers if you are set on leaving. In Colorado, a save offer is allowed only if a cancel link stays visible.
- Save proof: a screenshot of the confirmation page, the email, or the date and time of any call. If you leave a voicemail in California, Arkansas or Connecticut, the seller must act on it within one business day.
- Watch your next statement. If a charge still appears, use the steps in the next section.
What can you do if a company breaks the rule?
Start with a written cancellation request and a refund demand that cites your state's law by name. Point to the specific notice or cancellation step the seller skipped.
Some states build in real penalties. In South Carolina, a renewal of a covered service contract is unenforceable unless you got notice 30 to 60 days ahead stating the renewal price. Maine gives you a triple refund for unauthorized charges. Hawaii treats refusing to cancel as an unfair practice, and Massachusetts and New Mexico enforce their rules through state unfair practices laws.
If the seller will not budge, file a complaint with your state attorney general and ask your card issuer about disputing the charge. Keep every email and screenshot. A clean timeline makes both routes faster.
Gaps, narrow rules and laws on the way
No general law does not always mean no rules. Iowa and Nevada bar automatic renewal clauses in gym contracts, and Nevada extends that to dance studios. Missouri bars them in buyers' club contracts. South Dakota requires renewal notice for longer telecom contracts, and New Jersey requires a 30 to 60 day notice for home and product service contracts of a year or more.
Louisiana currently asks only for clear renewal and cancellation terms. Its Click-to-Cancel Act takes effect on January 1, 2027, adding consent, renewal notices and an easy cancel method, though sellers with fewer than 50 employees or under $5 million in revenue are exempt. Elsewhere, bills stalled. Texas HB 2859 stalled in committee in 2025, and Oklahoma's Fair Renewal Act never reached final passage before the 2026 session ended.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal for a company to auto renew my subscription?
Yes, in most contracts. A few narrow rules ban it, such as gym contracts in Iowa and Nevada. Otherwise states regulate how renewal happens. Where one of the 27 laws applies, sellers generally must disclose renewal terms clearly and get your consent before charging, and many must send a reminder and let you cancel easily. Online, ROSCA adds federal disclosure and consent rules in every state.
Did the FTC click to cancel rule go into effect?
No. The Eighth Circuit vacated the FTC's 2024 click to cancel amendments in July 2025. In February 2026 the FTC restored the older Negative Option Rule, which covers prenotification plans, and in March 2026 it began a new rulemaking. As of October 11, 2026, no new federal rule is in force.
Do I have to get a reminder before my subscription renews?
It depends on your state and your plan. 21 jurisdictions, including DC, require a reminder before renewal, usually for plans of a year or more. California requires notice 15 to 45 days ahead for those plans, while Delaware and DC require 30 to 60 days before the cancellation deadline. Monthly plans often fall outside the reminder rules.
Can a company make me call to cancel if I signed up online?
In 18 states, generally no. Those states require an online cancellation option when you signed up online, such as a link, a button or a pre-formatted email. Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee and Vermont say online sign ups must be able to cancel exclusively online. Connecticut also bars forcing in person or mail cancellation.
Which state has the strictest auto-renewal law?
Of the laws we reviewed, California's is the strictest. It requires express consent, a keepable acknowledgment, renewal and price change notices, an annual reminder and a click to cancel option online. Save offers must show a cancel button too. New York is close behind, with consent or a refund window required before any price increase.
Do automatic renewal laws apply to B2B software contracts?
Mostly not, since most laws protect consumers only. Colorado (since February 2026) covers business buyers, and North Dakota's law is written broadly enough to reach them. Wisconsin requires a 15 to 60 day renewal notice for business equipment leases and business service contracts. Elsewhere, a business buyer's protection usually rests on the notice and termination clauses in the contract.
What if my state has no automatic renewal law?
You still have options. ROSCA applies to online subscriptions nationwide and requires clear disclosure, express consent and a simple way to stop charges. Some states without a general law regulate specific contracts, such as gyms in Iowa, Nevada and New Hampshire, telecom in South Dakota, or service contracts in New Jersey.
Can I get a refund after an automatic renewal charge?
Sometimes. If the seller skipped a required reminder or consent step, ask for a refund in writing and name your state's law. In South Carolina, a covered service contract renewal without proper notice is unenforceable, and Maine provides a triple refund for unauthorized charges. If the seller refuses, contact your attorney general or card issuer.

How we built this data
We built this dataset from the law in each state, then had a second, independent review re-check every entry against primary sources and correct anything that did not match. Each row links to its source.
Of the 51 entries, 33 were confirmed directly against the statute itself or the state agency that enforces it. 18 rest on several secondary sources that agree, usually because the official site could not be reached or because there is no statute to read where the answer is that no law exists. Data verified on October 11, 2026.
