Is it actually easy to cancel?

What California law requires

Under California Business & Professions Code § 17602, any company that auto-renews a subscription for a California consumer must:

• Clearly disclose the auto-renewal terms before you sign up.
• Get your affirmative consent to the renewal — no pre-checked boxes.
• Send an acknowledgment email with a clear cancellation policy.
• Provide an easy online cancellation method — you shouldn't have to call, chat, or beg to leave.

If Audible didn't do these things, any charges may be treated as an unconditional gift — and you may be entitled to a refund.
