Consumers will now have to wait until July 14 to enjoy a plethora of new rights that will make axing your unwanted subscriptions a lot simpler.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has delayed the enforcement of a new change to its rules that would make it easier for consumers to cancel their unwanted subscriptions.
The amendment, also known as “click to cancel,” was signed in October 2024 under the Biden administration and was originally planned to take effect on May 14. But now it’s been delayed by an extra 60 days and is set to come into force on July 14.
The amendment will require sellers to make it as easy for consumers to cancel their enrollment as it was to sign up. This means sellers will no longer be able to require people to talk to a live or virtual representative to cancel if they didn’t have to do that to sign up.
