Dark Pattern Violation · Maryland

Is a company auto-renewing a digital news subscription you canceled in Maryland?

Force an immediate cancellation — and claw back every illegal charge.

Under federal law, this exact tactic violates ROSCA + state ARL. Quietly re-enabling a canceled subscription, or refusing to honor a cancel request submitted through the published method, is unauthorized billing. Use our engine to generate a professional cancellation and refund demand in under 60 seconds.

Draft my cancellation demand

Your rights in Maryland

Subscription companies engineer cancellation friction on purpose. Here is the legal leverage you hold over them right now.

Federal protection — ROSCA + state ARL

Online publishers must honor cancellation requests promptly and may not 're-enroll' users through dark-pattern retention flows.

Maryland adds: Maryland Automatic Renewal Law, Com. Law § 14-1201

Voidable contract plus actual damages and attorney's fees. State remedies stack on top of federal ROSCA damages.

Refund leverage

Refund of every post-cancellation charge plus state-level statutory penalties for unauthorized billing.

Evidence to lock in your refund

Save the cancellation confirmation email, then every charge after that date. Screenshot the billing dashboard.

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.
