How hard is it to cancel Canal+?
Canal+ scores 71/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the FR — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), phone, postal.
Canal+ subscriptions are managed and cancelled (resiliation) from the myCANAL espace client under the Subscription / Mes actions section, or by phone or post. Traditional offers carry a 12 or 24-month commitment that auto-renews for 12-month periods, and during the commitment period cancellation is only allowed for a listed exceptional reason (e.g. moving, unjustified price rise, significant content removal); cancelling early otherwise leaves the remaining monthly payments due. Commitment-free (100% digital myCANAL) offers can be cancelled at any time from the client space. New remote subscriptions carry the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal (droit de retractation). Personal data and erasure rights are covered by the Canal+ data-protection policy.

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.
