The click-to-cancel (CtC) rule is a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule, specifically 16 CFR Part 425.6, which requires that subscription services make it as easy to cancel the service as it was to sign up. This is designed to combat an anti-consumer practice, where a subscription service makes it very easy to sign up for a service, but requires the customer to jump through hoops to cancel the subscription. The law has been finalized and was initially set to go into effect May 14, 2025.
