Program Summary

ROSCA regulates negative option offers sold online. This includes continuity programs, automatic renewals, and similar subscription offers. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state regulators have aggressively enforced the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA) and begun to read new requirements into these statutes that stretch the laws’ plain language. The FTC has also pressed forward in attempting to update the Negative Option Rule to require cumbersome disclosures, affirmatively unambiguous consent to the autorenewal terms, and a click-to-cancel mechanism preventing save attempts. This CLE will provide a primer of ROSCA, address new requirements imposed by the FTC and state regulators, and discuss recent enforcement actions and lawsuits.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Requirements under the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act
  • FTC and State Government Enforcement Actions
  • Class Action Lawsuits and Trends
  • Dark Patterns and Junk Fees

Date / Time: December 13, 2024

  • 1:00 pm – 3:10 pm Eastern
  • 12:00 pm – 2:10 pm Central
  • 11:00 am – 1:10 pm Mountain
