Cancellation service #1 in Canada
Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) is an online multiplayer role-playing game set in the Star Wars universe, developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. It offers a mixture of story-driven single-player content and multiplayer features, with both free-to-play and subscription elements.
When you cancel, your subscription will typically remain active until the end of the current paid billing period; after that, the account will stop auto-renewing. Your game account, characters, and purchased items are generally retained, though your access level may revert to a free-to-play tier with reduced benefits. EA retains account and transaction records according to its privacy policy and terms of service.
Refunds depend on EA’s policies and the circumstances of the purchase. Generally, subscriptions already used for their billing period are not automatically refundable, but refunds may be possible if there was an error, duplicate billing, continuous charges after cancellation, or if required by consumer protection laws. Always contact EA Help with supporting evidence and, if needed, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute incorrect charges.
| Plan | Price | Billing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free-to-Play | Varies | None | Limited access; optional microtransactions |
| Preferred | Varies | One-time or periodic purchases | Enhanced access without full subscription |
| Subscriber | Varies | Monthly/Recurring | Full access and subscriber benefits |
| Microtransactions (Cartel Coins) | Varies | As purchased | In-game currency for items and cosmetics |
Canadian consumers are protected by federal and provincial consumer protection laws that address unfair business practices, deceptive representations, and certain refund or repair rights. Rights and procedures vary by province; some jurisdictions provide remedies when goods or services are defective, not provided as advertised, or if continuing charges occur after cancellation. If you believe your rights under applicable law have been breached, contact your provincial consumer protection office or seek legal advice. Keep records of purchases, communications, and any attempts to resolve the issue with the merchant.
User experiences vary. Many players report straightforward online cancellations through account settings, while others note delays or the need to contact EA Help when cancellations don’t process correctly or billing errors occur. Some users successfully obtained refunds for billing mistakes or continuous charges after cancelling, but refunds are not guaranteed. Experiences with platform-based subscriptions (console stores) reflect the policies and responsiveness of those platform providers rather than EA directly.
Common mistakes include cancelling on the wrong platform (for example cancelling on EA but forgetting a PlayStation or Xbox subscription), not saving a confirmation of cancellation, or assuming in-game purchases will be refunded automatically. Another frequent error is failing to remove saved payment methods, which can lead to unintended future charges. Example: a player cancels via EA but purchased a recurring subscription through a console store and is still billed through their console account.
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel via EA Account / EA App | Possible if billed in error or per policy; not guaranteed | Easy - Medium |
| Contact EA Help (chat/ticket) | Possible for billing errors or exceptional cases | Medium |
| Console / Platform store cancellation | Depends on platform policy; refunds handled by platform | Medium |
| Registered mail / Formal notice to Canadian EA office | May be required for formal disputes; refund depends on case | Hard (formal process) |
After you cancel, monitor your bank or card statements to confirm auto-renewal has stopped and keep all confirmation records. If charges continue, open a support case with EA Help and consider contacting your payment provider to dispute unauthorized charges. Helpful resources include EA Help for account and billing support (https://help.ea.com) and the official SWTOR site for account information (https://www.swtor.com). For consumer guidance in Canada, see the Government of Canada consumer affairs pages (https://www.canada.ca/en/services/business/consumer-affairs.html) or your provincial consumer protection office.
