Acc-cen-tuate the negative?
July 29, 2014
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:
- clearly and conspicuously discloses all materials terms of the transaction before getting consumers’ billing information;
- gets consumers’ express informed consent before charging their accounts; and
- offers simple ways for people to stop the recurring charges.
