Checks that relate to this framework

Detected automatically

Check	Severity	Detected by
Automatic-renewal terms were not detected in the visible text presented alongside the consent action. These frameworks are summarized as requiring the automatic-renewal terms to be presented clearly and conspicuously before the consumer agrees, in visual proximity to the request for consent. `ARL-DISCLOSURE-AT-CONSENT` Rule summary last reviewed: 2026-08-03 Due again 2026-11-01.

No link or control matching an online cancellation route was found on the pages this scan could reach. These frameworks are summarized as requiring a subscription entered into online to be cancellable through the same online medium, without additional obstruction. `ARL-CANCEL-ONLINE-ROUTE` Rule summary last reviewed: 2026-08-03 Due again 2026-11-01.

The fetched terms text describes cancelling by telephone. Where a subscription was entered into online, these frameworks are summarized as requiring an online route to cancel, so a route available only by telephone is described as not meeting that requirement on its own. `ARL-CANCEL-TELEPHONE-ONLY` Rule summary last reviewed: 2026-08-03 Due again 2026-11-01.

Manual verification only

These relate to this framework but sit outside anything an outside scan can reach. They appear in every report as manual checks and are never counted as findings.

These frameworks are summarized as requiring notice ahead of a renewal in defined circumstances — in Virginia, where a renewal term runs longer than 30 days and extends the contract beyond 12 months. `ARL-RENEWAL-NOTICE` Rule summary last reviewed: 2026-08-03 Due again 2026-11-01.
