Subscription Trap FAQ
What is a dark pattern?
Deceptive design tricks that make it easy to sign up but hard to cancel. Hidden cancellation buttons, confusing flows, and guilt-trip messages are common examples.
Can I get a refund for unauthorized renewals?
Often yes. If the company didn't clearly disclose auto-renewal terms or made cancellation unreasonably difficult, you may be entitled to refunds.
What is the ROSCA rule?
The Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act requires clear disclosure of negative option terms and simple cancellation methods.
Can I dispute with my credit card?
Yes. If direct cancellation fails, file a chargeback. Document your cancellation attempts first.
What if they require a phone call to cancel?
Many states now require online cancellation if you signed up online. Phone-only cancellation may violate consumer protection laws.
How long do I have to dispute charges?
Credit card chargebacks typically allow 120 days. For direct refund claims, check your state's consumer protection statute of limitations.
What about free trial traps?
If they didn't clearly disclose charges after the trial or made opting out difficult, you may have grounds for a full refund.
