- Statute
- 6 Del. C. §2734, within subch. IV of ch. 27 (§§2731–2737).
- Official text
- https://delcode.delaware.gov/title6/c027/sc04/index.html
- Effective
- The subchapter states that its automatic-renewal provisions take effect on January 1, 2022.
- Applies to
- Sellers of merchandise to a consumer under a contract containing an automatic-renewal provision. Contracts over $50,000, banking organisations, filed utility tariffs, matters under utility, insurance or federal communications jurisdiction, and residential and manufactured housing leases are described as excluded.
Whether this framework reaches a monthly subscriptionThis framework is summarized as reaching contracts above a term threshold rather than every subscription, so an ordinary month-to-month plan may sit outside it. Only the checks that concern longer contracts relate to it here. The definition is described as reaching renewal for a specified period of more than one month where the renewal causes the contract to run more than twelve months from initiation, which places an ordinary monthly subscription outside it.
What it is summarized as requiring
- Clear and conspicuous disclosure of the automatic-renewal terms at the time the contract is entered into.
- Notice 30 to 60 days before the cancellation deadline, stating that renewal will occur unless cancelled, the deadline, and how to cancel.
- A consumer is described as needing to notify the seller before suing, with a 30-day period to cure.
What no outside scan can observe here
- The pre-renewal notice.
