Where things stand (3 November 2026): the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 is law, but its subscription chapter is not yet in force. The detailed regulations are a draft that Parliament has not yet approved, and the government's guidance is also a draft. The intended start date is 1 January 2027, for contracts entered into on or after that date. Anything taken from a draft is labelled "draft".
This is information, not legal advice. It is a quick, plain-English guide to published rules, several of which are still in draft. FairRenew sends notices; it does not give legal advice. Check your own position with a qualified adviser.
