Hmm, yeah, you know what? I didn't read over the whole section carefully enough :) You're right, that notice is specifically notice of renewal. My bad, I concede the point.
Actually, I am a lawyer (well... I'm about 8 hours away from being sworn in). And that code section isn't being taken out of context. I agree that the notification provision is in violation of CT law. But as far as I can tell, aside from being contrary to CT law, no one cares all that much...
A couple pages back, someone referenced the CT law requiring them to accept electronic cancellation notice when they allow electronic signup. Just thought I'd post it again.

I haven't read 100% of the thread, but I'd be surprised if anyone has any evidence of cancelling their account successfully. Chances are, the most anyone will get is delivery confirmation of their cancellation letter. Aside from that, everyone will just be waiting until their billing cycle...
I'll just note that I did NOT pay $20 for my membership. I signed up when it was free, and I did so for the $20 Amazon deal. I didn't abuse the deal (in fact, I only used it once, and for a game that was a gift, no less).

Hah! And the auto-reply confirmation of receiving my note contains the following:
Too bad it won't stick. I don't know if they'll honor my request or not, but they have legally adequate notice of cancellation, so at this point I feel comfortable setting the issue aside, and disputing any...
No, you've got it backwards. You're reading it to say that the service provider may choose to accept notice of cancellation electronically. That's not what it says. Read it again.
The MAY is referring to the way in which written notice may be transmitted, not the way in which the recipient...
Heh I'm one of the (more). I laughed out loud when I clicked on the link. And yeah, CheapestGamer, you sound pretty defensive and petty when you go off about him needing to get a life. Misdirection much?
Bingo.
As for exiting a contract, I know that in most states accepting or rejecting an offer to form a contract can use the same means of communication as the offer (i.e. electronic -> electronic) unless otherwise stipulated in the offer. I'm not sure that the same principle applies to...
