A 3766 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Imposes certain requirements on businesses that make automatic renewal or continuous service offers.

This New Jersey bill (A3766) requires businesses offering automatic renewal or continuous service subscriptions to clearly disclose terms before charging customers. It mandates businesses to present renewal terms conspicuously, obtain explicit consumer consent prior to charging, and provide easy cancellation options (including online termination for digital services). If businesses send products without consent, the items become unconditional gifts with no obligation for consumers, and businesses must refund charges within 30 days. Violations are punishable by fines up to $20,000 per offense under the state's consumer fraud law. The bill directly affects businesses selling subscriptions (e.g., streaming services, membership boxes) and protects consumers from unexpected charges.
