New York City’s Click-to-Cancel rule took effect October 1, 2026, requiring subscription businesses to provide a straightforward cancellation process using the same method customers used to sign up.
What it means for streaming
The rule applies to automatic-renewal and continuous-service subscriptions. Music Business Worldwide reports that music services including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music are covered. The city says violations can trigger civil penalties starting at $525 and may also require consumer restitution.
