MA Subscription Laws

Massachusetts Subscription Cancellation Laws

Massachusetts has a specific auto-renewal protection law: the Chapter 93A + Auto-Renewal (Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A). This gives you powerful rights when canceling subscriptions.

Chapter 93A + Auto-Renewal

Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A

Disclosure of renewal terms
Reasonable cancellation method
No deceptive enrollment practices
Consumer right of action

Penalties: Treble damages under Chapter 93A for willful violations

Federal Laws (Apply in Massachusetts)

FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (16 CFR Part 425) — cancellation must be as easy as signup
ROSCA (15 USC § 8403) — online subscriptions require clear disclosure + consent
Fair Credit Billing Act (15 USC § 1666) — dispute charges on credit cards
FTC Act § 5 (15 USC § 45) — prohibits deceptive billing practices
EFTA (15 USC § 1693) — unauthorized debit/ACH charge protections

What This Means for You

If a company in Massachusetts didn't clearly disclose auto-renewal terms at signup, didn't get your affirmative consent, or makes cancellation difficult, their charges may be unlawful under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A. SubScrub generates demand letters citing this specific law.
