How hard is it to cancel SonyLIV?
SonyLIV scores 74/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the IN — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app, phone.
SonyLIV subscribers in India can cancel online via 'My Purchases' on the website or app, through their respective app store (Google Play, Apple App Store, Amazon), or by SMS (send STOP to 155223 for mobile-operator billing). Cancellation stops auto-renewal; access continues until the end of the current paid billing period with no prorated refund. SonyLIV explicitly states it does not provide refunds or credits for partial-month periods or unwatched content. No pause or subscription-freeze feature is offered.

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.
