The Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA) is a new law that makes it illegal to charge a consumer for goods or services sold in an Internet transaction through any negative option method -- including trial conversions, continuity plans, or automatic renewals -- unless the business:

  1. clearly and conspicuously discloses all materials terms of the transaction before getting consumers’ billing information;
  2. gets consumers’ express informed consent before charging their accounts; and
  3. offers simple ways for people to stop the recurring charges.
