Free DMCC subscription checker
Is cancelling your subscription as easy as signing up?
The UK's Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 lets the CMA fine businesses directly for consumer law breaches, up to 10% of global turnover. We check your live website for the subscription and pricing risks it targets.

Questions
Is the DMCC subscription checker free?
Yes. You can scan any website once a day for free with no sign-up. Paid plans unlock full evidence, fixes and regular monitoring.
What is the DMCC Act 2024?
The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 is a UK law that strengthens consumer protection. It gives the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) power to fine businesses directly for consumer law breaches, and adds new rules for subscription contracts, fake reviews and drip pricing.
Can we make customers phone or email to cancel a subscription?
The DMCC Act's subscription rules require that customers can end a subscription in a straightforward way, and a contract entered online should be cancellable online. Requiring a phone call or chat with support is a common risk Halvus flags.
What are the penalties under the DMCC Act?
The CMA can fine a business up to 10% of its global annual turnover or £300,000, whichever is higher, for breaching consumer law.
Does the DMCC Act apply to B2B subscriptions?
The subscription contract rules protect consumers, so they mainly affect businesses selling subscriptions to the public. Purely business-to-business contracts are generally outside them.
Will it tell me my site is compliant?
No. Halvus reports the risks it finds with evidence. It is not legal advice and never certifies a website as compliant.
Halvus reports risks found, not legal advice.
