What is New Scientist

Overview

How to cancel New Scientist

Cancellation by account (recommended)

  • Sign in to your New Scientist account and go to "Manage my subscription" or "Account" settings.
  • Follow the on-screen option to cancel recurring billing or end renewal.
  • Save confirmation emails or take screenshots of the cancellation confirmation.

Cancellation by email or platform

Access and content

After cancellation your current paid period generally continues until the end of the billing cycle and you retain access until that date.

Digital downloads already delivered will typically remain accessible only while your subscription is active, depending on product type.

Renewal and data

Cancelling stops future auto-renewals. Check confirmation to ensure renewal is disabled.

New Scientist retains your account information per its privacy policy; request data deletion via customer services if required.

  • Refunds depend on the product type and how you purchased it (web, app store, shop).
  • Digital magazines and magazine/bookazine orders: no refunds once dispatched.

Exceptions and timelines

  • Courses: full refund available within 14 days if the course has not been started; no refunds after 14 days.
  • Shop purchases (physical items): 14-day returns from delivery in original condition; refund excludes original shipping costs and returns are UK-based.

Your consumer rights in United Arab Emirates

General protections

UAE consumer protection laws give buyers rights to accurate information, redress for defective goods and mechanisms to lodge complaints.

However, cross-border subscriptions are governed primarily by the seller's terms; local authorities support enforcement where applicable.

How to act in UAE

  • First contact New Scientist via subscriptions@newscientist.com and keep written records of your request.
  • If unresolved, file a complaint through the UAE government consumer portal: u.ae - Consumer Rights.
  • For payment disputes, contact your bank or card issuer to request a chargeback if you believe charges are unauthorised or unfair.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some readers report satisfactory content quality and useful scientific coverage for general interest readers.

Positive mentions often note usefulness for non-political science readers and overall content depth.

Negative feedback

  • Common complaints: difficulty cancelling, lack of clear unsubscribe options and unexpected auto-renewals.
  • Other issues: customer service delays and occasional website or app functionality problems reported by users.

Documentation checklist

Before contacting support

  • Account email address and full name used for subscription.
  • Subscription reference or order number (from confirmation email).
  • Proof of payment (card statement, PayPal receipt) and date of charge.

When escalating

  • Screenshots of account pages showing subscription status or lack of cancel button.
  • Copies of all correspondence with New Scientist support.
  • App store receipts if purchased via Apple or Google Play.

Common mistakes

Attempting to cancel in the wrong place

Example: trying to cancel an App Store subscription from the New Scientist website. If you subscribed via App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform.

Always check where the original charge originated (Apple/Google/New Scientist) before proceeding.

Not saving confirmation

Example: assuming cancellation is processed without saving the confirmation email or screenshot. Without proof, disputes are harder to resolve.

Always keep a dated record of your cancellation request and any replies from support.
