US merchants · Auto-renewal & negative option
Log every pre-renewal notice — build chargeback evidence before disputes happen.
US subscription merchants face state auto-renewal laws (e.g. California ARL) and recurring-charge disputes. Subnotice sends pre-renewal emails and records a timestamped notice trail with provider-reported delivery signals when available. Export the records as a signed evidence pack for a subscription-canceled dispute without replacing your billing platform. Not a guarantee of outcomes.
US rule pack is live: the free policy checker scores published-policy wording against state auto-renewal law (ARL) duties — CA/NY/CO-style disclosure + express consent + cancel wording. The app can send day-21 and day-10 pre-renewal notices when renewal dates sync. This is preparation tooling, not a compliance certificate. Not a federal FTC check (that rule was vacated in 2025) — state ARLs are the live law. Connecticut’s calendar annual-reminder scheduler is not shipped yet.
