New York Implements Automatic Renewal and Continuous Service Law for Contracts for Goods and Services
“New York recently became the latest state to enact strict laws regarding the provision of automatic renewal and continuous service clauses in paid subscription or purchasing agreements with consumers (N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law ยงยง 527 and 527-a). The new law went into effect on February 9, 2021,” post Craig M. Spierer and Edward J. Karan III in Harris Beach’s Legal Alert.
“New York joins other states such as California, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, and Virginia who have enacted similar laws broadly regulating the use of auto-renewal clauses by sellers of goods and services in contracts with their consumers.”
