Skillshare subscriptions can be cancelled online at any time via Account Settings > Membership & Payments on the website, or through the Apple App Store / Google Play for app subscribers; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period with no proration. Refunds are not offered on membership renewals; the only refund window is within 48 hours of being charged after a 7-day free trial. Payments made after a 14-day or longer free trial are not refundable. Monthly website subscribers can pause their membership for up to 3 months; annual and app-store subscribers cannot pause.

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.
