NYC's "Click to Cancel" rule is now in effect

The New York City (NYC) 'Click to Cancel' rule has come into effect, requiring certain businesses to notify customers and obtain their consent before automatically charging their credit or debit cards. The new rule applies to online retailers, restaurants, and other businesses that have a storefront in the city. The rule aims to protect consumers from unauthorized recurring charges, which can result from automatic subscription services or other practices. Businesses must inform customers of the charge and provide a clear and easy-to-use opt-out process.
