Caught in a trap - the changing face of subscription contracts

The incoming Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill (Bill) seeks to tackle “subscription traps” by imposing new duties on traders who offer subscription contracts to consumers.

During this webinar, our Consumer team shared their insights into these changes and the challenges that they have already encountered with the implementation of the new compliance regime.

This webinar looked in particular at:

  • a deep dive into the new obligations being introduced under the Bill for businesses operating a subscription model
  • the impact of legislative changes on core aspects of the subscription business model including onboarding and the customer journey, managing automatic renewals and customer cancellations, subscription contract documentation and internal policies and processes
  • insights into the challenges which businesses are already experiencing with implementing the requirements of the Bill and practical steps to stay ahead of the curve with compliance
