# Subscription Renewal Desk: safe subscription page rules and a ten-check terms scan (free sample) Version 1.0, 2026-11-01. By PaperChaseWebb. For anyone who sells a plan that charges on repeat, or lets an AI agent tidy their checkout, terms or cancel page. One page and one Python 3 script, standard library only, read-only: it reads one page, prints findings and changes nothing. It sends nothing and opens no network connection. No API key, no login. Tested on Linux with Python 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.8: 5 unit tests, and 21 of 21 planted faults caught. The example business is made up. Not legal advice. ## Why subscription pages need checking California's automatic renewal law, tightened in July 2025, asks for clear renewal terms before the customer pays, consent to them, an online way to cancel for anyone who signed up online, and notices before a long trial ends, a yearly plan renews or a price changes. Federal law (ROSCA) has asked for clear terms, informed consent and a simple way to stop charges since 2010. Most small subscription pages slip in the same few ways: - The checkout says "$24. Start with a free trial." and never says it renews. - A price has no "per month" or "per year" next to it. - The trial never says what it costs after. - A box comes ticked for the customer. - Cancelling takes a phone call, a letter, a survey or 30 days' notice. - "Cancel anytime" sits next to a 3 month minimum. - "We may change our prices at any time without notice." ## Rules t

Copied from this item's dated test notes. What was not run stays in.
Worth knowing
- The sample checks one page on its own. Your plans and facts, the subscriber notice plan, the reply review, the fix check against the original, the eval set, owner approval and agent setups are in the full kit.
- Not legal advice. It does not say a page meets any law.
- On 2026-11-01 renew_mini.py passed 5 unit tests and 21 of 21 planted faults on Linux with Python 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.8, and the copy extracted from the sample page was identical to the tested script.
Questions
Does it change my files or send anything?
No. It reads the file you name and prints findings. It opens no network connection, sends nothing and changes nothing.
What is in the full kit?
20 checks on the checkout, terms, cancel page and reminder against your own plans, 12 on your subscriber list for renewal, trial and price change notices, 12 on replies to cancel requests, a 12-check fix check against the original, owner approval at a terminal, an eval set, and setup for Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex and Hermes. $29.

Subscription Renewal Desk: agent fixes for your checkout, terms and cancel page, plans matched, cancel path kept, owner approved
Let an agent tidy your subscription checkout, terms, cancel page and renewal reminder, plan the renewal, trial and price change notices from your subscriber list, and review replies to cancel requests, without dropping the renewal line, hiding the cancel path or making up prices and offers. It writes fixed copies and never touches the live site or sends anything. A fix check refuses a removed cancel link, a deleted sentence, a new discount or a new phone number. You approve at your terminal and paste it in yourself.
