Can I offer a free trial for my product or service in Wisconsin? What are the requirements?
Free Trial Requirements in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, there are no specific laws or regulations that govern free trials for products or services. However, businesses offering free trials should ensure that their practices comply with general consumer protection laws and regulations.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, businesses must not engage in deceptive or unfair trade practices [1.2]. This means that businesses must not misrepresent the nature or terms of a free trial offer, and must clearly disclose any fees or charges that may apply after the trial period ends.
Additionally, businesses must comply with the eligibility requirements for using the Wisconsin logo on their products or commodities [1.1][2.1][2.2][4.1][3.2]. If a business intends to use the logo on products or commodities sold during the free trial period, the products or commodities must meet the eligibility requirements under s. ATCP 161.25.
Overall, businesses offering free trials in Wisconsin should ensure that their practices are transparent and comply with general consumer protection laws and regulations.
