Cooling-off / Change of mind
Under the renewal cooling-off rules introduced in 2024, you have a cooling-off right that applies to a renewal period. The right to cancel is exercisable by notifying the trader with a clear statement of your decision to cancel. A renewal cooling-off period ends 14 days after the day a cooling-off notice is given. Therefore, if you cancel within that period and you have not used membership benefits, cancellation takes effect immediately and no penalty can be charged. See the legislation: Renewal cooling-off rights (2024).
Used benefits or tickets already used
One Hotspur terms state that if you use any tickets or benefits of the Membership, including priority ticket sales, you waive the right to request cancellation. For this reason, do not use any member benefits if you intend to cancel. This rule is in the official terms: membership and ticketing terms and conditions.
Price increase
If a price increase for a renewed membership is applied, the membership terms and the 2024 UK consumer law allow cancellation where the consumer is notified and a cooling-off applies. Provide the club with the renewal notice and your cancellation statement. Keep evidence of the notification and any price increase communication.
Moving abroad
If you change residence abroad and this prevents you from using the membership benefits, submit proof of new address (utility bill or tenancy agreement) together with a clear cancellation statement. The club may accept relocation as a ground for cancellation; include documentation in your request.
Death of subscriber
In the event of the death of a subscriber, send a copy of the death certificate and a written request from the next of kin to cancel the membership. The club's ticketing charter and terms reference special handling of sensitive cases; provide proof to the club in writing to allow refund consideration.
End of commitment / Season expiry
Memberships run seasonally. If you do not want renewal, cancel auto-renewal by the stated deadline for that season (example deadline 5pm 16 June 2026 for 2026/27). If you renew then decide to cancel after renewal payment, you may use the 14-day refund window for card/PayPal payments if benefits are unused.
