Quotes:
“This is going to be about transparency, it is about consumer protection, tha’s why it is being enforced, and it’s about making sure people don't feel trapped in a membership they can't get out of.” [Nick, 4:03]
“It is not a ‘nice to have’, it is a federal law. You need to stay compliant and it's one of those things that if you do a little bit of work upfront you are going to avoid legal headaches down the road. It’s also going to build trust with your clients.” [Nick, 4:46]
“We saw some softwares come out with this feature before us and they simply just threw a cancel button on there. We took our time… with our development team.” [Nick, 8:19]
