New York City has introduced a new "Click-to-Cancel" rule that will require companies to let customers cancel subscriptions as easily as they signed up. Announced by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the rule will take effect on October 1, making New York the first U.S. city to adopt such a law. It applies to automatic renewal and continuous service subscriptions, requiring clear terms and a simple cancellation process. The move follows a similar Federal Trade Commission rule that was struck down by a U.S. appeals court in 2025 over procedural issues after legal challenges from major companies.
