Consumer Online Payment Transparency and Integrity Act aims to protect consumers from unfair automatic renewals and hidden charges.

The Consumer Online Payment Transparency and Integrity Act mandates that sellers clearly disclose automatic renewal provisions and cancellation procedures in contracts. It requires sellers to obtain express informed consent before charging consumers for automatic renewals, especially after a free trial period. The Act voids automatic renewals in case of violations and mandates refunds. It prohibits the use of "dark patterns" in obtaining consumer consent and empowers the Federal Trade Commission to enforce these provisions. The requirements will take effect one year after the Act's enactment.
