FTC delays enforcement of 'click-to-cancel' for subscriptions by 60 days

  • The Federal Trade Commission delayed enforcement of its finalized 'click-to-cancel' Negative Option Rule by 60 days to July 14, 2025.
  • The delay follows concerns about the complexity of compliance after the rule, first announced in 2023, aimed to stop companies from using difficult cancellation processes for subscriptions.
  • The rule requires companies to clearly disclose subscription terms, get express informed consent for automatic renewals, and make cancellations as easy as sign-ups across physical and digital goods.
  • The FTC explained that the postponement gives companies additional time to update their systems and indicated that they remain willing to revise the Rule if challenges arise during enforcement.
  • The enforcement delay suggests a cautious approach to regulation amid legal challenges and industry lawsuits, while aiming to ease subscription cancellations and protect consumers.
