Automated observation · No legal conclusions
See what a customer sees before they agree to pay.
It walks your signup flow like a customer and photographs every screen, then reports where the renewal terms were and were not.
Running a scan on this instance needs credentials. Why, and what is open without them.
What it looks for.
-
Where the renewal terms are
Whether the auto-renewal wording appears on the screen where you agree, or only inside the linked terms.
-
A separate consent box
Whether renewal has a tick of its own, or is folded into the same box as the terms of service.
-
Anything pre-ticked
Whether a consent control arrives already checked, so agreeing takes no action at all.
-
What a trial converts to
Whether a free trial states the price and the date it becomes a charge, before you hand over a card.
-
How you get out
Whether a way to cancel online is visible, or whether the route offered is a telephone number.
-
Whether the price changes
Whether the amount on the offer is the amount at the card field, and whether the billing interval matches.
What it can't see.
-
Anything behind a login
It never authenticates. A checkout that only exists for signed-in customers is a checkout it cannot reach.
-
Whether a disclosure is clear
“Clear and conspicuous” is a standard a court applies to a whole page, not a threshold a scanner measures.
-
Whether cancelling works
It stops at the card field and never buys anything, so it cannot test the cancellation it just read about.
A clean scan is not evidence of compliance. What this scan cannot see, in full.
Why this is a patchwork.
No federal rule covers online auto-renewals any more, so what applies depends on where your subscribers live. How that happened.
A site that blocks automated browsers can still be checked by pasting the page — paste mode and the demo fixtures.
