Updating the legal settings
In the Legal Settings section, you can update the subscription terms that are displayed in both your Recharge Checkout and in the footer of the subscription activation email. If you are unsure where to start, you can use a Recharge starter template and revise it to suit your needs.
Before you start
- Subscription laws vary from state to state and country to country. You should consult with an attorney to ensure that your subscription terms comply with any applicable laws in areas where you sell your products.
- The starter template language is for informational purposes only and does not constitute advertising, solicitation, or legal advice.
