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

Offering Free Trials in New Hampshire

If you are offering a free trial for your product or service in New Hampshire, you must comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) [1]. The TSR requires that any seller or telemarketer whose offer of a product or service involves a negative option feature must truthfully, clearly, and conspicuously disclose three pieces of information:

  1. The fact that the customer’s account will be charged unless he or she takes an affirmative action — such as canceling — to avoid the charge.
  2. The specific billing date or the period during which the charge may be made.
  3. The amount of the charge.

Additionally, if you are using a lawyer to help you with these services, you must comply with the New Hampshire Rules of Professional Conduct [2]. These rules state that the lawyer who is helping you with these services is not your lawyer for any other purpose and does not have to give you any more legal help.

Therefore, to offer a free trial for your product or service in New Hampshire, you must comply with the TSR and the New Hampshire Rules of Professional Conduct.
