Andrew Lustigman and Morgan Spina Publish Article in Bloomberg Law on Avoiding Automatic Renewal and Cancellation Pitfalls

Andrew Lustigman, Chair of Olshan's Advertising, Marketing & Promotions Group and Co-Chair of the firm’s Brand Management & Protection Group, and associate Morgan Spina published an article in Bloomberg Law entitled “FTC’s Focus on Subscriptions Protects Consumers: Legal Insight.” In the article, Andy and Morgan provide a comprehensive overview of the complexities surrounding automatic renewal subscriptions, a payment model increasingly used by e-commerce businesses. The article offers critical advice for companies looking to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape, particularly in light of recent state and federal developments. Andy and Morgan highlight key areas of focus, including the importance of clear enrollment terms, streamlined cancellation processes and the implications of the FTC’s recent actions against major players like Amazon and Adobe. "Companies should ensure customers aren’t forced to reject a barrage of offers before the cancellation request is processed or are somehow taken out of the cancellation path if they are considering a save offer," they advise. Andy and Morgan emphasize that businesses must stay ahead of regulatory changes to avoid costly litigation and maintain consumer trust.
