Tips & Things to Know

  • Cancel pledges individually - each creator subscription is managed separately, so you can keep supporting others.
  • Check the creator's tier details before cancelling, as some annual pledges cannot be refunded.
  • Your profile remains active, so you can re-pledge to the same creator at any time without losing history.

Your Consumer Rights

  • Digital content exceptions may apply to the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (UK).
  • Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, cancellation must be as easy as sign-up.
