O.C.G.A. §10-1-439.13: "There shall be no private right of action for a violation of this part, nor shall a violation of this part serve as the basis for a private right of action under any other provision of law." A private letter citing the 2024 Act as the violated duty hands the seller a clean rebuttal.
| Duty | Citation | Effective from | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disclose the automatic-renewal provision clearly and conspicuously in the service contract | O.C.G.A. §13-12-2 | 2013-07-01 (conservative floor for the 2013 Act) | — |
| Term of 12 months or more renewing for more than 1 month: written/electronic notice 30-60 days before the cancellation deadline (renewal terms over 24 months additionally need written acknowledgment and an affirmative not-cancelling statement, or the renewal is unenforceable) | O.C.G.A. §13-12-3 | 2013-07-01 | initial term ≥ 12 mo; renewal term ≥ 2 mo |
1. The void-provision defense: "A violation of this chapter renders the automatic renewal provision of a contract void and unenforceable" (O.C.G.A. §13-12-5) — you can dispute continued billing in writing and via your card network on the ground that the renewal provision is void. 2. The free AG complaint: the Georgia AG’s Consumer Protection Division enforces the 2024 Act. 3. The generic-deception route (judgment call, not deterministic): where the facts genuinely support a deception theory under the Fair Business Practices Act (§10-1-393(a)), Georgia law gates any suit behind a 30-day pre-suit written demand: "At least 30 days prior to the filing of any such action, a written demand for relief, identifying the claimant and reasonably describing the unfair or deceptive act or practice relied upon and the injury suffered, shall be delivered to any prospective respondent" (O.C.G.A. §10-1-399(b)). Treble damages exist only for intentional violations — a characterization DealPulse flags for review, never computes.
No per-se private lever exists — the deception characterization a §10-1-399 demand requires is a judgment call we do not sell as deterministic. The free output is a complaint-ready summary for the Georgia AG's Consumer Protection Division, plus the §13-12-5 void-provision defense you can raise yourself against further charges
§13-12-5: the renewal provision is "void and unenforceable" — a contract DEFENSE, not a damages claim. The only private damages route is the GENERIC FBPA deception theory (§10-1-393(a)) + §10-1-399: treble only for INTENTIONAL violations [scienter FLAG], gated by the §10-1-399(b) 30-day pre-suit written demand; 2-yr discovery SOL (§10-1-401)
§10-1-399(b)/(d): a reasonable written settlement tender within the 30-day demand window caps recovery and cuts post-offer fees
Limitation period (informational): 2 year(s) — O.C.G.A. §10-1-401(a): 2 years from when the claimant "knew or should have known" of the violation; the clock runs from DISCOVERY of the practice. Not legal advice — act promptly regardless.
