About this tool
For subscription contracts with terms of one year or longer, state laws—including California Business and Professions Code § 17602 and equivalent statutes in New York, Colorado, and Illinois—mandate sending written renewal reminders between 15 and 45 days prior to auto-renewal. These reminder notices are not merely polite customer communications; they are statutory legal requirements. The notice must clearly disclose that the subscription is about to renew, state the exact scheduled renewal date, indicate the recurring price, and provide an unhindered direct link or instructions on how to cancel before billing occurs. Sending compliant renewal notices eliminates surprise charges, virtually eradicates credit card disputes, and builds lasting customer trust. Use this tool to generate compliant reminder notices.
