Cooling-off (withdraw within 14 days)

Consumers have a 14-day right to withdraw from a contract concluded online, by telephone, or off-premises under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. The 14-day period starts from conclusion of the contract or receipt of goods. To exercise this right for a Spusu mobile plan, send the signed cancellation form within 14 days. If services were used during the cooling-off period, Spusu invoices for usage. See Spusu's cooling-off instructions: Spusu FAQ.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Cancellation within first 30 days

If you cancel within the first 30 days, an early termination fee of £4 applies according to independent coverage. If the SIM was already used, a £4 SIM charge applies. Any services used during the period will be invoiced by Spusu.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Spusu published terms.

Price increase

If Spusu raises the price of a contractually fixed plan, the increase may be a legitimate reason to cancel under consumer law. Provide the price change notice from Spusu as proof when you request cancellation. Follow the procedure in Spusu communications and cite your right under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for unfair terms if the increase breaches your contract.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Moving abroad

If you move out of the UK to a country where Spusu does not provide service, send proof of your new address (signed rental agreement or utility bill) together with the signed cancellation form. Spusu acceptance of moving as a ground for immediate termination is not explicitly published; attach proof and cite the Consumer Contracts Regulations where relevant.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Death of subscriber

To cancel due to the death of the subscriber, submit a death certificate and a signed cancellation form from the executor or next of kin. Spusu does not publish a standard policy for death-related cancellations; include documentary proof and request confirmation in writing.

Legitimate faults or poor service

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill. If Spusu fails to provide service (for example persistent loss of connectivity or failure to deliver ordered SIM), collect evidence such as support tickets, dates and times of failures, and request termination on the grounds of failure to perform. If Spusu does not resolve the issue, escalate as described in the legal protections section.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Before you cancel: negotiate

Spusu does not have large published retention offers visible in public sources. When contacting support to cancel, request a retention offer explicitly and provide your target price. Mention the alternative plan you want and the duration. If you are on a promotional 12-month price due to end, ask whether a further promotional extension is available. Keep any written offer from Spusu as proof.

What cancelling saves - yearly math

Compute the annual cost of your current Spusu plan and compare to alternatives. Examples using Spusu pricing:

• Spusu 5 at £4.90 x 12 = £58.80 per year.
• Spusu 20 at £8.90 x 12 = £106.80 per year.
• Spusu 100 at £14.90 x 12 = £178.80 per year.

If you cancel Spusu 20 (£8.90) and move to the cheapest comparable alternative plan at £6.90 per month, annual saving calculation would be: £8.90 x 12 = £106.80 minus £6.90 x 12 = £82.80, saving = £24.00 per year.

Cheapest real alternative example: based on typical low-cost MVNO offers, giffgaff and Smarty often advertise monthly plans under £10. Verify current competitor pricing before switching. Compare full-year costs and any setup or SIM fees. Spusu SIM used fee is £4.00 which should be included in switching cost calculations.

Key UK consumer law

Two core statutes apply: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 which grants a 14-day cooling-off right for contracts concluded online, by telephone or off-premises, and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and guards against unfair contract terms.

Cooling-off and refunds

During the 14-day cooling-off period you may withdraw without giving a reason. If you used services during the cooling-off period, Spusu may charge for the services used. Evidence of withdrawal is provided by a clear statement or the signed cancellation form. See the official legal text: Cooling-off rights (legislation).

How to escalate

First complain in writing to Spusu and keep copies of all communications. If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice and escalate to the relevant ombudsman for telecoms. For payment disputes, consider a Section 75 claim or chargeback with your card issuer if the payment qualifies. The Competition and Markets Authority monitors unfair auto-renewal and hard-to-cancel subscriptions; reference CMA guidance if you face unclear renewal terms.

Confirm final billing

After cancellation, expect a final bill covering usage up to the end of the billing period and any applicable charges: usage invoicing during cooling-off, a £4 SIM charge if used, or £4 early termination if cancelled within 30 days. Keep the final invoice and payment receipts.

Keep access and data

Download any invoices, call records or account data you need before service ends. If you wish to keep a number, arrange a PAC or port-out before the service terminates; request porting instructions from Spusu support and complete the port-out before the end of your billing period.

Re-activation and returning equipment

Spusu is SIM only; there is no equipment return in normal cases. If Spusu requires return of any item, follow their instructions and keep proof of postage. If you want to rejoin Spusu later, you will need to sign up again and activate a new or existing SIM according to their onboarding process.

Use this checklist to cancel cleanly and protect your rights.

• Download the official cancellation form: cancellation form.
• Sign the cancellation form by hand or use a clearly legible electronic signature.
• Email the signed form to Spusu support or post it by registered letter to Spusu, 10 Queen Street Place, EC4R 1AG London, United Kingdom.
• Keep proof: saved sent email, registered post receipt, or support ticket number.
• Check final invoice for usage charges or a £4 SIM fee and request itemised billing if unclear.
• If cancelling within 14 days, explicitly state you are exercising your cooling-off right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
• If porting your number, request port instructions and complete port-out before service end.
