Introduced·7/10/25
Introduced in Senate Text

The Unsubscribe Act of 2025 aims to increase consumer protection regarding negative options in all media, including online.

The Unsubscribe Act of 2025 seeks to enhance consumer protection by regulating negative option contracts, which automatically charge consumers unless they opt out. The bill mandates that merchants must clearly disclose all material terms of these contracts before charging consumers. It also requires merchants to obtain express informed consent from consumers before charging them through a negative option. The act defines express informed consent as an affirmative action by the consumer, such as clicking a confirmation button or checking a box, indicating clear consent.
