Popis: The recent emergence of new forms of negative option selling has increased the popularity of this unique marketing and selling method with sellers, but critics claim some of these new negative option techniques circumvent consumer choice, exploit consumer trust, and are incapable of creating legally valid exchange contracts. The authors describe the different forms of negative option selling and how some of the newer forms differ from traditional club-type plans. They also assess the adequacy of the existing negative option laws for addressing the abusive practices that are being attributed to these new negative option selling methods and conclude with recommendations for negative option regulatory reform, which attempt to balance consumer protection and economic efficiency.
