Can I offer a free trial for my product or service in Alabama? What are the requirements?

Yes, you can offer a free trial for your product or service in Alabama. As mentioned in the existing response, there are no specific state laws or regulations that prohibit offering free trials. However, you should ensure that your free trial complies with any applicable federal laws and regulations, such as those related to consumer protection and advertising.

If your product or service involves the sale or delivery of alcohol, you must comply with the requirements for a Delivery Service License as outlined in ALAC Section 20-5-17 [1.1]. Additionally, if you are an insurer, insurance agency, or producer, you must comply with the requirements outlined in ALAC Section 482-1-88-3 [2.4] and ALAC Section 482-1-88-1 [2.5]. If you are a manufacturer seeking to extend your licensed premises, you must comply with the requirements outlined in ALAC Section 20-5-20 [1.3].

Furthermore, if you plan to offer any gifts or benefits as part of your free trial, you should review the requirements outlined in ALAC Section 482-1-088-.05 [2.1], which specifies that the value of the gift or benefit cannot be more than $15 and cannot be cash. Additionally, ALAC Section 482-1-088-.04 [2.3] defines a free gift or benefit as a gift or benefit to invite an inquiry or quote from the insurance buying public and not as an inducement or invitation to enter into an insurance contract.

Therefore, it is important to review the relevant laws and regulations that apply to your specific product or service before offering a free trial in Alabama.
