How hard is it to cancel Webroot?
Webroot scores 66/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), phone, email, postal mail.
Webroot subscriptions can be cancelled online via a self-serve auto-renewal opt-out form (requires keycode entry), or by submitting a support ticket or contacting support directly; phone is required for Best Buy-purchased subscriptions. Webroot sends renewal reminder notices 30 and 14 days before expiry, but no advance cancellation notice period is required from the customer. A 70-day money-back guarantee applies to direct online purchases, claimed via an online refund form with invoice code and amount; requests beyond 70 days result in auto-renewal disable only, with no refund. Mail returns are accepted for retail (unopened/opened physical product) sent to Broomfield, CO.

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.
