Rules in force

• Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA) negative option requirements
  15 U.S.C. 8401-8405

  A seller that charges consumers online through a negative option feature (for example an automatic renewal or a free trial that converts to paid) must clearly disclose all material terms before taking billing information, get the consumer's express informed consent before charging, and provide simple mechanisms to stop recurring charges. The FTC enforces ROSCA.

   Electronic Fund Transfer Act error resolution and unauthorized-transfer liability (Regulation E)

   Card or bank dispute for charges after cancellation or for service not provided. The online Terms of Agreement say cancelling the AutoPay authorization does not cancel the customer's obligations under the agreement.

   Your state’s attorney general. Find it in the list of state agencies (also as JSON: states/<code>.json, for example states/ny.json).

   In November 2020 the Alabama Attorney General announced a $60 million settlement with Terminix over termite service contracts.

5. Small claims court

   The terminix.com Terms of Use require individual AAA arbitration for claims related to those Terms, with no small-claims carve-out and no opt-out window. They describe themselves as the entire agreement regarding the website. The residential Service Contract is not online, so check it for its own dispute clause before filing.
