How hard is it to cancel UnHerd?
UnHerd scores 80/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the gb — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online_self_serve, email.
UnHerd's terms allow opting out of auto-renewal from the My Account section, or cancelling by emailing [email protected] from the registered email address at least three working days before the next billing date. Subscriptions auto-renew, typically at a higher rate after introductory periods, unless cancelled beforehand. A 14-day cooling-off period applies from sign-up, during which a full refund is available (with forfeit of any sign-up offers, free gifts or vouchers received). No refund or partial refund is issued after the 14-day initial period; any discretionary refund outside the window is subject to publisher approval and a mandatory 15% processing fee, taking up to 28 days. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current subscription term. App-store subscriptions are cancelled via Apple or Google.

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.
