What it is

Your WHOOP membership automatically renews and charges your payment method each period until you cancel it yourself; cancellation must be done proactively through the app or customer support.

This analysis describes what Whoop's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

If you forget to cancel before your renewal date, you will be charged for another full subscription period, and there is no indication in these terms of a prorated refund for early cancellation after renewal.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

WHOOP will automatically charge your payment method at each renewal cycle unless you actively cancel, creating financial exposure if you do not monitor your renewal date and cancel in time.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Cancel Subscription
    Open the WHOOP app, navigate to your account settings, and select the option to cancel your membership before your next renewal date. Alternatively, contact WHOOP customer support at support.whoop.com to request cancellation.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Auto-renewal subscription terms engage state automatic renewal laws, most notably California's Automatic Renewal Law (ARL), which requires clear and conspicuous pre-purchase disclosure of auto-renewal terms, affirmative consent, and a simple cancellation mechanism. The FTC's updated Negative Option Rule, finalized in 2024, imposes enhanced disclosure, consent, and cancellation requirements for subscription services that apply nationally. Several other states including New York, Illinois, and Delaware have auto-renewal disclosure requirements that may impose additional obligations. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Auto-renewal terms are standard in subscription services, but the specific disclosure and cancellation mechanism requirements under California ARL and the FTC's Negative Option Rule create compliance exposure if WHOOP's onboarding flow does not satisfy the required clear and conspicuous disclosure standards and simple cancellation requirements. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California presents the highest exposure given the California ARL's detailed requirements including post-purchase acknowledgment and online cancellation mechanisms. The FTC's Negative Option Rule applies nationally and requires that cancellation be as easy as the sign-up process, which should be audited against WHOOP's actual cancellation flow. EU consumer rights directives may also impose cancellation and refund rights that interact with this clause. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Payment processors handling recurring billing should be assessed to ensure that authorization language in the terms matches the actual recurring charge mechanism, and that failed payment handling and notification procedures comply with applicable state laws. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit the checkout and account creation flow to confirm that auto-renewal terms are disclosed clearly and conspicuously before purchase, that affirmative consent to recurring charges is obtained separately, and that the cancellation mechanism is simple and accessible consistent with FTC Negative Option Rule requirements. Refund policy terms for post-renewal cancellations should also be reviewed for compliance with state law.
