Dark Pattern Violation · Maine
Is a company burying the cancel option behind dozens of clicks in Maine?
Force an immediate cancellation — and claw back every illegal charge.
Under federal law, this exact tactic violates FTC Act § 5 — Unfair or Deceptive Acts and Practices. Burying cancellation deep in account settings, behind chat-only support, or behind multi-step retention flows is unlawful obstruction. Use our engine to generate a professional cancellation and refund demand in under 60 seconds.
Your rights in Maine
Subscription companies engineer cancellation friction on purpose. Here is the legal leverage you hold over them right now.
Federal protection — FTC Act § 5 — Unfair or Deceptive Acts and Practices
Designing a UI specifically to prevent consumers from canceling is a textbook 'dark pattern' and an unfair practice under FTC § 5.
Maine adds: Maine UTPA, 5 M.R.S. § 207
Restitution plus attorney's fees. State remedies stack on top of federal ROSCA damages.
Refund leverage
Refund of every charge during the obstruction period, immediate termination, and FTC referral leverage that virtually always produces compliance.
Evidence to lock in your refund
Record a screen-capture video of every click required to attempt cancellation. Save chat logs showing the agent refusing or stalling.
Crucial tactic: Do NOT just file a chargeback with your bank. A chargeback reverses one transaction but leaves the contract intact — and many companies send the disputed balance to collections. A formal statutory demand permanently voids the agreement, stops the billing, and blocks any collections referral.
