Click to Cancel Act of 2025

This bill would make the Federal Trade Commission’s “click-to-cancel” rule into law. That rule requires companies that sell subscriptions or other “negative option” plans to let you cancel online as easily as you signed up. If a company breaks these rules, it counts as an unfair or deceptive practice, and the FTC can take action and apply penalties under its normal powers. In short, it locks in easy online cancellation and gives the FTC clear authority to enforce it.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Consumers and businesses that offer subscriptions or other automatic renewals.
• What changes: The FTC’s click-to-cancel rule gets the force of law, and violations are treated like other unfair or deceptive practices the FTC polices.
• Enforcement: The FTC can use its usual tools and penalties to enforce these rules.
