Moving / change of residence

Rule: UK consumer law does not grant an automatic right to cancel a digital subscription solely because you move address. Fallout 1st has not published a specific policy allowing cancellation for relocation. Suggested proof documents to submit when requesting a discretionary cancellation: new address documentation such as a utility bill or tenancy agreement and a copy of your account email. Fallout 1st does not list this as an accepted automatic ground.

Price increase

Rule: If Fallout 1st raises the subscription price mid-contract, you may have the right to cancel if the price rise is a contract variation and you did not previously agree to it. Fallout 1st has not publicly published a specific price-increase cancellation policy. Provide the notice you received about the price rise and your original purchase confirmation when requesting cancellation.

Death of the subscriber

Rule: Digital subscription contracts can typically be terminated on death by the deceased's estate. Fallout 1st does not publish a public process. Required proof documents to request account closure: death certificate and proof of authority or executor details. Contact support with those documents to request cancellation.

Legitimate ground / breach

Rule: Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 you have a right to remedies if digital content is faulty or not supplied with reasonable care and skill. If Fallout 1st breaches the contract (for example, paid features are not provided), you can request repair, replacement or a refund. Refer to the Consumer Rights Act 2015; see section 45 for remedies.

End of commitment

Rule: Monthly subscriptions have no minimum commitment beyond the paid period. Annual membership is billed as a 12-month product at £99.99; cancelling the annual plan typically prevents renewal but refunds for unused months are not guaranteed unless permitted by law or the platform. Fallout 1st has not published an explicit pro-rata refund policy in public documents.

Cooling-off (14 days)

Rule: The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 provide a 14-day cooling-off period for many online purchases made at a distance. For digital content, this right can be lost if you consent to immediate performance (immediate delivery or download) and acknowledge you waive the right. Platform rules (for example PlayStation and Google Play) describe 14-day refund windows and exceptions; for more platform-specific detail see individual platform support pages. Cooling-off rights are available when the law applies; if you accepted immediate supply you may have waived it.

Before cancelling: negotiate

Retention offers: Research found no public record of specific retention discounts or offers published by Fallout 1st. To ask for retention you should contact support ([email protected]) via the account email and request a retention offer or a plan change. Tell support whether you will switch from monthly to annual and request a written offer. Document any offer by saving the email. If you purchased via a console store, contact that store's subscriptions support and request a refund or conversion to an annual plan.

What cancelling saves you

Compute savings based on published prices: Monthly plan: £11.99 x 12 = £143.88 per year. Annual plan: £99.99 per year. Annual vs monthly saving: £143.88 - £99.99 = £43.89 saved per year by using the annual plan instead of monthly. If you cancel an active annual membership you avoid paying the next £99.99 annual fee. Cheapest listed competitor from the research is The HR Vault at £65 per month - annual cost £65 x 12 = £780. Comparing Fallout 1st annual (£99.99) to The HR Vault annual equivalent (£780) yields a difference of £680.01 per year. Prices quoted: £11.99, £99.99, £8.33 (monthly equivalent), £65, £780, £143.88, £43.89, £680.01.

Key UK laws

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires digital services to be supplied with reasonable care and skill; remedies are available for breach. See section 45 for statutory remedies. The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 provide a 14-day cooling-off right for distance contracts, with a digital-content exception if you consent to immediate supply.

Auto-renewal and unfair terms

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has warned about hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal practices. If Fallout 1st uses unclear terms or makes cancellation difficult, you may complain to Citizens Advice or the CMA for guidance and escalation.

Escalation steps

1. Complain to the trader first (use [email protected] and keep copies). 2. Contact Citizens Advice for rights and template letters. 3. Use chargeback or Section 75 through your card issuer for qualifying card payments. 4. If the issue concerns regulated services, escalate to the relevant ombudsman. These steps reflect standard UK escalation routes under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Access and final billing

Your Fallout 1st membership remains active until the end of the current paid period. There is no automatic refund for the period already paid unless the platform or law requires one. Keep screenshots of cancellation confirmation and the date when access will end.

Data and account changes

Cancelation does not delete your Fallout 76 account. Items purchased with Atoms remain in your inventory; Scrapbox content may become inaccessible once your membership ends if the feature is restricted to members. Back up any needed information or screenshots while access remains active.

Re-activation and repurchase

To rejoin Fallout 1st you must repurchase the monthly or annual plan through the same platform used originally. If you cancelled within a cooling-off period and requested a refund, check with the platform (PlayStation, Google Play, Apple, Steam) for refund timelines.

Use this checklist to make cancellation smooth and document your case.

• Identify where you bought Fallout 1st (Bethesda.net, PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Apple or Google Play).
• Cancel via that platform's subscription settings to stop auto-renewal.
• Save a screenshot of the on-screen cancellation confirmation.
• Save any confirmation emails from Bethesda or the platform.
• If you want a refund, request it within 14 days if the platform policy or Consumer Contracts Regulations apply.
• If support is slow, send a follow-up email to [email protected] after 7 days and keep registered post receipts if you used post.
• If you meet a statutory ground for refund, refer to the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and include evidence when escalating.
