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.
