Free compliance scan for subscription businesses

Know your cancel flow is legal in every state you sell into.

The federal Click-to-Cancel rule is gone. State auto-renewal laws now govern your checkout, your renewal notices and your cancel path, and they differ from California to Virginia to Minnesota. CancelCheck shows you exactly where you stand.

Why subscription businesses are checking now

In July 2025 a federal court vacated the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule. That did not loosen anything. It handed enforcement to the states, and the states have been busy.

CA

Charges can become gifts

Under California's Automatic Renewal Law, payments collected without compliant disclosure and consent can be treated as an unconditional gift to the customer, with statutory damages and attorneys' fees available.

VA

New rules since July 1, 2026

Virginia now requires a conspicuous online cancel option and that cancelling be as easy as signing up. A four-screen cancel path after a one-screen signup is a problem.

MN

Save offers are restricted

Minnesota limits the retention offers you can show during cancellation unless the customer agrees to see them. Most default app flows were not built with this in mind.

A gap list you can hand to your developer

Every state you sell into gets a plain-language read: what the statute requires, what we observed in your flow, and the citation. No legal jargon, no 40-page memo.

  • Pre-checkout disclosure and consent
  • Post-purchase confirmation contents
  • Renewal and trial-conversion notice timing
  • Cancellation method and number of steps
  • Retention and save-offer restrictions

Gap

Online signups must be able to cancel online without contacting support. Your flow requires an email to support to complete cancellation. Disclosure and consent box look compliant.

Gap

Cancelling must be as easy as signing up. Signup is one screen; cancellation is four screens including a survey.

How it works

We map it against your states

Disclosure, consent, renewal notices, cancellation method and save offers, checked against each statute as currently in force.

Receive your gap list

Delivered by email within two business days, with the citation beside each item. If you want compliant template language or a licensed attorney's review, we will tell you what that costs.

C

Built by a legal professional, not a marketing team

CancelCheck was founded by a JD with BigLaw contract and legal-technology experience who kept watching small subscription businesses get caught by rules written for enterprises. The scan applies the same clause-by-clause discipline used on large commercial agreements to your checkout and cancel flow, in language your developer can act on.

Common questions

Doesn't my subscription app already handle this?

Usually only the checkout consent box. Renewal reminder timing, save-offer restrictions, same-channel cancellation and post-purchase confirmations are on you, and they vary by state. The scan shows which pieces your app covers and which it does not.

Why is the scan free?

It is how we learn what subscription businesses are running into. Some then buy our compliance templates or an attorney review. Most fix the gaps themselves with the list.

Is this legal advice?

No. CancelCheck provides compliance information and general observations about your flow. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Where a legal opinion on your specific situation is needed, we refer you to a licensed attorney.

What happens to my URL and screenshots?

They are used only to produce your scan and are deleted within 30 days of delivery on request.

Do you cover states other than the ones listed?

Yes. Select "All 50 states" and the scan covers every state with an automatic renewal or negative-option statute, plus general consumer-protection exposure in the rest.
