US merchants · Auto-renewal & negative option

Log every pre-renewal notice — build chargeback evidence before disputes happen.

US subscription merchants face FTC scrutiny on negative option billing and state auto-renewal laws (e.g. California ARL). Subnotice sends pre-renewal emails on each billing date and keeps a timestamped audit trail — the same proof trail that helps win chargebacks.

US rule pack is live: the free policy checker now scores state auto-renewal law (ARL) duties — CA/NY/CO-style disclosure + express consent, plus Connecticut's annual-reminder rule. Not a federal FTC compliance check (that rule was vacated in 2025) — state ARLs are the live law.
