New York City Mayor Mamdani has introduced a "Click-to-Cancel" rule designed to simplify subscription cancellations for city residents, effective October 1. This rule, enforced by the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, mandates that companies offer straightforward online cancellation processes, preventing the use of complex methods like phone calls or lengthy procedures. The initiative revives a previously abandoned FTC protection and also includes provisions against charging customers to return free promotional items associated with subscriptions, with violations incurring penalties starting at $525 per instance.
