Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 56:12-95, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 56:12-95.
a. A provider that provides any service to a consumer pursuant to a service contract
the term of which is a specified period of 12 months or longer and that automatically
renews for a specified period of more than one month, unless the consumer cancels
the contract, shall provide the consumer with written or electronic notification of
the automatic renewal provision. Notification shall be provided to the consumer not less than 30 days nor more than
60 days before the cancellation deadline pursuant to the automatic renewal provision. This notification shall disclose clearly and conspicuously: (1) that unless the consumer cancels the contract, the contract will automatically
renew; and (2) methods by which the consumer may obtain details of the automatic renewal provision
and cancellation procedure, whether by contacting the provider at a specified telephone
number or address, by referring to the contract, or by any other method. At a minimum, such methods shall include, for each consumer: (a) an online method for the consumer to cancel the contract and a mailing address
to which written cancellation requests may be addressed; or (b) a telephone number that the consumer may call to cancel the contract. b. As part of the provider's routine business practice, where the business has failed
for any reason to comply with the provisions of this section, the contract holder
may cancel the contract and receive the unearned portion of the contract subject to
the automatic renewal provision less the amount of claims paid during that automatic
renewal period, which amount shall be refunded as of the date on which the provider
is notified of the error. c. The provider shall provide written or electronic notification to the consumer not
less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before any change in the procedures required
of the consumer to cancel the automatic renewal provision. d. All cancellation requests are required to be acknowledged within five business
days of receipt and honored within 10 business days of receipt, and applied as of
the date of receipt or, if permitted by the service contract, applied at the end of
the holder's monthly billing cycle. If a cancellation request is honored within five business days of receipt, the acknowledgement
requirement of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied. e. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent a contract holder from recovering
on a claim that would be valid and covered had the regulated entity acted in compliance
with P.L.2022, c. 91 ( C.56:12-95.1 et al.).
