Cancel by reason
Moving / relocation
If you change address and delivery is not possible, provide proof of new address such as a utility bill or council tax bill. Take a Break's specific acceptance of moving as a cancellation ground is not published; include evidence and request cancellation in writing.
Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 when service cannot be provided as agreed.
Price increase
If Take a Break increases a subscription price, you may have a right to cancel without penalty if the contract allows cancellation for price rise. Provide the notice of price increase received from the publisher. Take a Break's published policy on price rises is not publicly disclosed; ask for written confirmation of any price change and cancel if you do not accept it.
Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 regarding contract terms and unfair terms.
Death of the subscriber
To cancel after the death of the subscriber, send proof such as a death certificate and a request from the estate or next of kin. Take a Break's published procedure for death is not publicly disclosed; include official documents and request refund where appropriate.
Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and general contract law principles.
Legitimate ground (service not as described, damaged issues)
If issues arrive damaged, the service is not supplied with reasonable care and skill. Provide photos of damaged issues, delivery records and correspondence. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 you can request a repair, replacement or refund. If Take a Break fails to remedy, state the breach in writing and request cancellation and refund.
Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.
End of commitment
If your subscription term ends, send a notice to cancel before the renewal date. Bauer Media typically requires 28 days written notice before the next renewal date. Provide the notice at least 28 days before renewal and keep proof of sending.
Applicable law: contract terms between you and TAKE A BREAK LTD.
Cooling-off period (14 days)
For distance contracts you have a 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, starting from receipt of the first issue for magazines ordered online or off-premises. To use this, inform Take a Break in writing within 14 days and request a refund. For digital content where download starts with your express consent, the right may not apply.
Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
Negotiate or save
Before cancelling: negotiate
Take a Break retention offers are not widely published in the research. No specific retention discounts or offers are publicly reported. To negotiate, contact [email protected], explain why you want to leave, and ask for any retention offer, reduced price or pause. If cancelling an App Store or Google Play subscription, contact Apple or Google support for a refund request where appropriate.
What cancelling saves you
Use actual Take a Break plan prices to compute annual savings from common plans.
Example 1 - Take a Break Weekly Digital Subscription: £39.99 per year. Yearly cost calculation: £39.99 x 1 = £39.99 per year.
Example 2 - Take a Break Monthly Digital Subscription (12 months): £19.99 per year. Yearly cost calculation: £19.99 x 1 = £19.99 per year.
Example 3 - Take a Break Weekly in-app monthly at £2.99: £2.99 x 12 = £35.88 per year.
Example 4 - Take a Break Weekly in-app monthly at £3.99: £3.99 x 12 = £47.88 per year.
Cheapest real alternative (within Take a Break plans): the Take a Break Monthly Digital Subscription at £19.99 per year.
Legal protections and escalation
Key UK consumer laws
The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 grant a 14-day cooling-off period for most distance contracts, with refund rights. For digital content, the right ends if you consent to immediate download.
Source: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
Consumer Rights Act 2015
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be provided with reasonable care and skill and bars unfair contract terms such as disproportionate cancellation penalties. If Take a Break fails to supply the service as described, you may be entitled to a refund or remedy.
Auto-renewal and unfair practices
The Competition and Markets Authority treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potentially unfair. If Take a Break made cancellation unduly difficult, raise this in your complaint and escalate if necessary.
Escalation path
1. Complain to TAKE A BREAK LTD by post to Take a Break, Crown Way, CF14 3UZ Cardiff, United Kingdom or by email to [email protected] and keep proof. 2. Seek guidance from Citizens Advice. 3. Use card chargeback or Section 75 claim for qualifying card payments. 4. If unresolved, contact Trading Standards or the CMA for further advice.
What to do after cancelling Take a Break
Check access and final issues
Keep copies of cancellation confirmation and note final delivery dates. For digital subscriptions, you may retain access until the end of the paid period; confirm the exact expiry date in writing from Take a Break.
Data and account
Request deletion or retention of personal data under data protection rules if you do not want Take a Break to keep your details for marketing. Provide written instruction to [email protected] and keep their reply as proof.
Final billing and refunds
If you should receive a refund under the 14-day cooling-off rule or because of a breach, the trader must reimburse all payments except delivery without undue delay and within a legally specified timeframe. Ask for refund to the original payment method.
Re-activation
To re-subscribe later, use the Take a Break website or the App Store / Google Play. Keep note that promotional pricing may not be repeated and renewal terms may differ.
