United Kingdom+

CMA guidance says a term letting you raise prices is likely unfair unless it is clear, gives adequate notice and lets the customer cancel without loss. There's no fixed number of days; 30 days is our suggested default, not a legal minimum. New subscription rules (DMCCA 2024) are due from 1 January 2027.

Australia+

Under the unfair contract terms rules, a term letting you raise the price without giving the customer a way to leave without penalty is likely unfair. Give fair notice (30 days is our suggested default, not a legal minimum) and a free way out.

Using this in Europe or another country?+

You can use this tool in your country: the maths and the letter work anywhere. Notice rules for price rises differ from country to country (in Europe too, each country has its own consumer rules), and we haven't checked a specific rule for yours. Give clear written notice in good time (30 days is our suggested default, not a legal minimum), tell customers how to cancel, and check your local consumer rules or ask a qualified adviser. Choose "Another country" in the picker; the day count and letter still work, without a country-specific rule.

Is this legal advice?+

No. General information, not legal advice. Wrenchpost is not a law firm and doesn't give legal advice. Rules change and depend on your contract and your customer's location, so check with a qualified lawyer before relying on it. The summaries link to their sources so you can read the rule yourself.

Is anything stored?+

No. The check runs in your browser. If you unlock the checklist we store your email, the tool, the region you picked and the day count.
