UK consumer law that applies

The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Charges) Regulations 2013 provide a 14 day cooling-off right for most online subscription contracts, with refund rights unless you started streaming digital content with your express consent. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and prevents unfair contract terms.

Auto-renewal and tricky cancellation

The Competition and Markets Authority has made clear that hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms can be unfair. If SonyLIV’s auto-renewal or cancellation process appears unclear, raise this with SonyLIV and keep written records.

How to escalate

Step 1 - Complain to SonyLIV using the Contact Us tab or by email to [email protected] and keep copies of all messages.

Step 2 - If unresolved, get guidance from Citizens Advice and consider a formal complaint to the appropriate ombudsman for your payment type or sector.

Step 3 - For qualifying credit card payments, consider a Section 75 claim or a chargeback via your card issuer.

Reference - full legislative text on cooling-off is available at legislation.gov.uk.

Check access and final billing

After cancellation, you keep access until the end of the paid billing period. SonyLIV does not provide refunds for partial membership periods in most cases; see refund policy for exceptions.
