What the FTC’s Click-to-Cancel Rule Means for You

Monday, November 4

2 p.m. EST/11 a.m. PST 

On Wednesday, Oct. 16, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the passage of new rules covering negative-option and subscription marketing efforts. While the new rules — now dubbed the “Click-to-Canel” rule by the FTC — still contain many concepts that performance marketers should maintain awareness of, three key items that appeared in the Commission’s initial Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) were removed from the final rule after the PDMI and other industry groups pushed back.

 

The PDMI's E-Commerce Council welcomes a pair of PDMI member experts from the legal (BakerHostetler) and operational (Solvpath) sides of the performance marketing world to discuss what the new rule means for anyone working in the D2C space.

Speakers include:
