How hard is it to cancel Constant Contact?
Constant Contact scores 62/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone, online (self-serve).
Constant Contact accounts are cancelled primarily by calling the Billing Team (US/Canada: 855-229-5506) before the next billing date; an in-account online cancel page exists at constantcontact.com/cancel/account but is authentication-gated and phone remains the documented primary channel. Cancellation takes effect on the next billing date, with continued access until then. Prepayments are non-refundable; a 30-day money-back guarantee applies only to first-time subscribers on the base plan who have uploaded contacts and sent at least one email. Data is retained for 120 days post-cancellation before permanent deletion.

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.
