Piscataway, NJ asked in Consumer Law, Business Law and Entertainment / Sports for Florida

Q: Hi, what are the requirements for adding a recurring charge to a customer's account? (For instance billed at later date)

We run a subscription based service where we would like users to be automatically billed X months after signing up. We would like to know what consent we would require from the buyer before charging them (for example, terms of service etc). Thank you!

1 Lawyer Answer

A: The best thing that you need to do is consult with a business law attorney and have him or her draft you an agreement. Your question is detailed, or rather requires a detailed answer. I don't think that a lawyer is going to give you detailed advice on how to draft a contract via a service like this.

There are times in life when paying for legal advice is very important and this is one of them, as a mistake on this could come back to haunt you for years.
