Refunds, notice and minimum terms

Google says you keep access to the end of the billing period and aren't charged again. Refunds depend on subscription type: unused prepaid plans can be refunded, past subscription periods generally can't, with limited exceptions.

Useful to Know

• Uninstalling the app does not cancel.
• YouTube Premium bought via Apple or Google Play must be cancelled there.
• Some apps allow pausing instead.

Your Rights, Whoever the Company Is

• If you signed up online or by phone, you normally have a 14-day cancellation period (with exceptions, for example where you have already started using digital content).
• If you were charged after a free trial and the renewal or price was not made clear, ask for a refund and say so in writing. Your card provider can help if the company will not.
• You can ask your bank to stop a card or Direct Debit payment you have cancelled. Keep your cancellation proof.
• If you subscribed through Apple, Google or another app store, you must cancel there, not with the company.
