How hard is it to cancel Bitdefender?
Bitdefender scores 75/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), email, phone.
Bitdefender subscriptions can be cancelled online via Bitdefender Central (My Subscriptions > Subscriptions tab) or through the Verifone/2Checkout billing portal at store.bitdefender.com/myaccount/; users receive an email notification 45 days before renewal. New purchases carry a 30-day money-back guarantee, and renewals include a 30-day grace period during which a refund may be requested. Cancellation can be set to take effect at the end of the current term or immediately (the latter is available only 30+ days after purchase and includes a refund). The policy applies only to direct purchases from Bitdefender's official website; third-party purchases must be handled through the respective vendor.

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.
