How hard is it to cancel EVE Online?
EVE Online scores 77/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve).
Subscriptions can be cancelled online at any time via Account Management (Account Info > Cancel Subscription), available for Credit Card and PayPal recurring plans only. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period, the account reverts to free Alpha state when remaining game time runs out, with no mid-cycle proration. Per the EULA, all fees are non-refundable; refund requests via support ticket are possible but unlikely to be granted for already-used Omega time or PLEX. No subscription pause or freeze option exists.

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.
