How hard is it to cancel The Bulwark?

The Bulwark (hosted on Substack) allows subscribers to cancel at any time via their account page with no notice required. Cancellation retains paid access through the end of the current billing term; subscribers who want an immediate prorated refund must contact support by email. A subscription pause feature is available, letting subscribers halt charges for a chosen number of months via a dropdown on the account page. Refunds typically process within 3–5 days.

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.
