How hard is it to cancel Play?
Play scores 67/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the PL — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app, phone, postal mail, in person, email.
Play (P4 Sp. z o.o.) customers can cancel via the Play24 app or online portal, by calling *500 or 790 500 500, in person at any Play salon, by registered mail to P4 Sp. z o.o. ul. Wynalazek 1, 02-677 Warsaw, or by email to [email protected] (requires qualified digital signature). Per Article 302 of Poland's Electronic Communications Law (2021), the notice period is 30 days from delivery of the termination notice, with the contract ending at the close of the billing period following that window. Early termination during a fixed commitment period triggers a contractual penalty calculated as: granted discount × (remaining months / total commitment months); no penalty applies after the promotional period expires, within the 14-day statutory withdrawal window for distance contracts, or when Play unilaterally changes contract terms. No refund or proration of pre-paid amounts is explicitly disclosed for standard mid-period cancellations.

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.
