The Unsubscribe Act of 2025 aims to enhance consumer protection against negative option contracts.

The Unsubscribe Act of 2025 mandates that merchants must obtain express informed consent from consumers before charging them for goods or services through negative option contracts. It prohibits merchants from automatically renewing such contracts without renewed consent. The act requires clear disclosure of contract terms and provides consumers with a simple mechanism to cancel these contracts. It also outlines notification requirements for merchants and allows state attorneys general to bring civil actions for violations, subject to certain conditions.
