Key UK laws

Consumer Rights Act 2015 - services must be performed with reasonable care and skill; unfair contract terms are not binding.

Cooling-off and cancellation rules

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 - 14-day cooling-off period for most online purchases. Digital content exception applies if you consented to immediate performance. Consumer Protection (Regulation of Digital Platforms) Act 2024, Section 264 - confirms cooling-off rights for subscriptions and digital services in the UK.

What to do if Snap will not comply

Step 1 - complain to Snap Support and keep written records. Step 2 - if unresolved, get advice from Citizens Advice and raise a formal complaint referencing the relevant law. Step 3 - escalate to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for unfair terms or hard-to-cancel subscription practices. Financial remedies - where payment was made by credit card and qualifies, consider a Section 75 claim or request chargeback through your card issuer for disputed payments.

Access and final billing

When you cancel, future billing stops. If you cancel outside the 14-day cooling-off period, you retain access until the end of the paid period. If you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period and are eligible for a refund, Snap's policy states a pro-rated refund will be issued - refunds for web subscriptions are processed within 7-10 business days in the research data.

Data and re-activation

Data - cancelling Snapchat+ does not delete your Snapchat account. If you want to remove data, use account deletion in Snapchat settings. Re-activation - you can resubscribe to Snapchat+ later; a new 14-day cooling-off period applies to new purchases and to annual renewals when relevant.

Proof and records to keep

Keep screenshots of the cancellation confirmation, emails from Snap or receipts from Apple/Google, and any Royal Mail recorded delivery receipts. These are essential for refunds or disputes.

Use this checklist to cancel cleanly and preserve refund rights.

• Find your purchase receipt or subscription details in Snapchat, Apple or Google Play.
• Decide cancellation method: in-app (recommended) or App Store/Google Play if purchased there.
• If within 14 days and you want a refund, prepare a clear written cancellation statement and request a refund.
• Take screenshots of cancellation confirmation and save emails from Snap, Apple or Google.
• If sending post, use Royal Mail Recorded Delivery to Snap Plus, Cowcross Street, EC1M 6AL London.
• If a refund is refused and you paid by card, contact your card issuer to discuss chargeback or Section 75 where applicable.
