What must I disclose about subscription auto-renewal

US federal and California automatic-renewal rules require clear disclosure of the recurring charge and a simple cancellation path before you take payment. Missing it makes charges refundable on request and is a common basis for chargebacks.

What 13x checks

This is rule compliance.auto-renewal in the public registry: Subscription renewal terms are disclosed. It runs on every audit, against the pages we actually fetched, and its result is derived from the response rather than estimated.

Registry version 2026-07-30. Every rule is published, and the audit is deterministic — the same page produces the same finding every time.

The fix

The same text the audit hands you when this check fails on your own site.

State the renewal terms next to the price, before checkout, not only in the terms of service:

Configuration
$29/month. Renews automatically until cancelled. Cancel any time from your account.

US federal rules (ROSCA) and California's automatic-renewal law both require clear and conspicuous disclosure of the recurring charge, its amount and frequency, and a simple way to cancel. Put it in the plan card and on the payment step.
