How hard is it to cancel Les Echos?
Les Echos scores 70/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the fr — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via email, postal mail, app-store.
Les Echos provides an online subscriber space ('Mon espace abonnement') for management, but the documented cancellation path is email-with-acknowledgement or registered letter to the Service Client, not a true one-click in-account cancel; App Store/Google Play subscriptions are cancelled there. Auto-renewal terms vary by contract: indefinite-term plans cancellable anytime with one month notice, fixed-term annual plans locked until term except for a proven legitimate reason (15 days notice), and tacit renewal applies only where the offer's particular conditions stipulate it. A 14-day droit de retractation under article L.221-18 is explicitly disclosed with no penalty and a refund within 14 days (or 30 days where immediate execution was authorised). Early termination for a legitimate reason yields a pro-rata refund, sometimes issued as account credit.

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.
