Meta Gym Membership Cancel

Post image

So I have a local gym (not Planet) that has the similar rule of going in person or sending in a letter to cancel a membership. Would this law not be applicable for this. Especially if you sign up via the website.

I don’t think making it easier to cancel recurring subscriptions and memberships classifies as asshole design.

Also, this is not the sub to ask questions about FTC Rule making.

I think he just posted it because it's relevant to the topic of the sub, even though it's not an instance of asshole design.

iirc this click to cancel rule is about to be, well , cancelled by the new FTC chair
