How hard is it to cancel Bandcamp?

Bandcamp subscriptions (both fan artist subscriptions and Pro accounts) can be cancelled at any time online via the website or mobile app through Settings > Subscriptions (or Profile > Account Details for Pro). Cancellation takes effect immediately but access continues through the end of the already-paid billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused time in the current period, and no further charges occur after cancellation. Items added to a fan's collection while subscribed are retained after cancellation.

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
