If you bought Readly online you have a 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. The 14-day period starts the day after the contract is entered into. If you cancel within 14 days and have not asked for immediate access you are entitled to a full refund. If you expressly asked for immediate access to digital content and the service started, the right of withdrawal can be lost; Readly states a 'NO RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL' clause for immediate access. See Citizens Advice - cancelling a service.
Required proof documents: order confirmation email and cancellation request date.
If Readly raises the subscription price mid-contract and you do not accept the change, you may cancel the subscription. Provide the price change notification from Readly as proof. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 on unfair terms and Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for contract variation rights.
If the account holder dies, the account can be closed. Required proof documents: copy of the death certificate and the account email to confirm identity for the estate representative.
Moving abroad does not automatically cancel a Readly account. Required proof documents for special cases where digital rights differ: proof of new residency if requesting a country-specific account change. Applicable law: contractual terms in the Readly EULA available at Readly EULA.
Readly accepts cancellation requests via the account portal or support email. Readly may handle refund exceptions case by case, for example where a user claims unauthorised charges. Required proof documents: account details, bank statements and written request. See Readly EULA at Readly EULA.
For monthly subscriptions there is no fixed minimum commitment. Cancel at any time before the next billing date. Required proof documents: cancellation confirmation email.
Readly sometimes offers retention options when you start the cancellation flow on the website. Research reports users seeing offers during the cancellation flow. If no offer appears, request retention by contacting support and ask for alternative plans, temporary discounts or account pauses. There is no public list of guaranteed retention discounts.
Current Readly standard price is £12.99 per month. Annual cost calculation: £12.99 x 12 = £155.88 per year.
Cheapest competitor in our research: Pocketmags Plus+ at £9.99 per month or annual £79.99. Comparison math: Readly annual £155.88 minus Pocketmags annual £79.99 = £75.89 saved per year by switching to a Pocketmags annual plan.
Other prices referenced: Apple News+ £12.99 per month. Example refund claim reported: 2 x £12.99 refunded in a Trustpilot testimonial where the user received a refund after contacting support.
Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 provide a 14-day cooling-off period for services bought online, with refund rights unless you expressly consent to immediate digital content access. Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and restricts unfair contract terms. The CMA monitors unclear auto-renewal and hard-to-cancel practices.
Step 1 - complain to Readly support and keep records of dates and confirmation emails. Step 2 - if unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for guidance and submit a formal complaint. Step 3 - for card payments consider Section 75 or a bank chargeback if the payment qualifies. The Citizens Advice cancellation guidance is at Citizens Advice - cancelling a service.
The CMA treats unclear auto-renewal and obstacles to cancellation as potential unfair practices. If Readly fails to provide clear cancellation paths or confirmation, keep screenshots and emails as evidence for escalation.
After cancellation you keep access until the end of the current billing period. Check your next billing date and bank or card statement to confirm no further charges. If you were within a free trial and were charged unexpectedly, contact support immediately and keep the trial sign-up confirmation.
Readly retains account data per its EULA. If you re-activate the subscription you will regain access. Keep your login details and the confirmation email as proof in case of billing disputes.
If Readly continues to take payments after confirmed cancellation, contact your card issuer to dispute the charge and consider a chargeback. Provide the bank with the cancellation confirmation email and any support replies.
Use this checklist to ensure cancellation is complete and you keep proof.
