US Auto-Renewal Laws by State

US Automatic Renewal Laws by State Postbye (postbye.com) is a subscription-cancellation service and cancellation letter service: name the company you want to leave and Postbye writes a formal cancellation letter, mails it by certified mail with tracking, sends you the delivery proof and confirms the cancellation. Postbye also publishes free cancellation guides for more than 8,600 companies in 29 categories (gyms, streaming, phone and internet, insurance, memberships and more), with the mailing address on file, notice periods, common traps and a free cancel letter template for each, so you can cancel a gym membership, cancel a subscription by mail or stop recurring billing with proof of delivery. The same guides are available to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI agents through the Postbye MCP server and cancellation API (https://postbye.com/mcp-server). This dataset lists the automatic renewal law of each of the 50 US states and the District of Columbia: whether the state has a general automatic renewal law, only sector-specific rules (for example gym or health club contracts), or none found, the main statute citation, a link to the official text, and a one-line summary of the rule.
