Cancellation service #1 in Canada
IMDb (Internet Movie Database) is an online database and service that provides information about films, television programs, actors, production credits, trailers and related industry data. IMDbPro is a paid, industry-focused subscription tier that adds tools such as contact details, STARmeter, credits editing and advanced searches intended for professionals in film and TV.
When you cancel IMDbPro, automatic renewal is turned off and your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle. You will continue to have the paid features for the remainder of that period; after it ends, your access to IMDbPro features will stop unless you re-subscribe.
Your account and profile information remain in IMDb’s systems according to their data and privacy practices (you may still have an IMDb account even after IMDbPro access ends). It is good practice to save any important data or screenshots you need before the subscription expires.
IMDb’s policy for IMDbPro states that fees and charges are non‑refundable. If you cancel in the middle of a billing cycle you keep access until the period ends, but no refund is issued for the unused time. Under Canadian consumer law there is generally no automatic 14‑day "cooling‑off" right for digital subscriptions once access to digital content or services has begun, so statutory withdrawal rights are typically not available for online subscriptions.
Exceptions may apply in cases of unauthorized charges or clear billing errors; in those cases you should contact IMDb customer support and, if necessary, your payment provider or card issuer to dispute the transaction. Keep records (transaction IDs, screenshots, support correspondence) to support any dispute.
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| IMDbPro Premium (standard USD rate) | US$19.99/month or US$149.99/year | Monthly / Annual | Access to industry tools: contacts, STARmeter, credits editing, advanced searches |
| IMDbPro Promotional Offer (Summer Blockbuster) | US$9.99 first month; US$96/year | Monthly (first month) / Annual | Same Premium features, discounted rate for limited time |
| IMDbPro Basic | Free (USD) | Monthly | Basic access: claim page, basic search, limited editing |
| Note: IMDb lists standard prices in USD. Final Canadian cost depends on the USD→CAD exchange rate at billing time and applicable provincial taxes (GST/HST, PST/QST). | |||
In Canada, merchants are generally not required to accept returns or provide refunds for digital services simply because a consumer changes their mind. Any entitlement to a refund must be stated in the merchant’s refund policy. Provincial laws that provide short cancellation periods (for certain direct‑sales contracts) do not typically apply to online digital subscriptions like IMDbPro. If you believe a prohibition, misrepresentation or unauthorized charge occurred, you can raise the issue with the merchant and, if needed, escalate to your payment provider or consumer protection agency.
User feedback on IMDb/IMDbPro is mixed. Many users value IMDb as a comprehensive and easy‑to‑use resource for movie and TV information, and appreciate features such as trailers, ratings and summaries. Some reviewers report that IMDb ratings often align with personal viewing choices and find the site helpful for discovery.
At the same time, complaints appear about review moderation (perceived censorship or rejection of reviews), presence of fake or bot reviews, occasional billing confusion or unclear charges, slow or unsatisfactory customer service responses, and some interface bugs. These positive and negative experiences are commonly reported in public review sites and forums.
Common mistakes include trying to cancel via the mobile app (which cannot process cancellations), assuming a pro‑rated refund will be given after cancelling mid‑cycle, and not saving the confirmation screen or email after you cancel. Another frequent error is waiting until the renewal date to cancel and missing the cut‑off, or not checking the billing currency and applicable taxes which can affect the final charged amount.
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Web / IMDbPro site (desktop) | No - fees are non‑refundable; access continues until period end | Low - straightforward via Account Settings → Cancel Membership |
| IMDbPro app (iOS/Android) | No - fees are non‑refundable; app cannot process cancellations | High - not possible in app; you must use the desktop web interface |
| Certified mail to IMDb P.O. Box | No - fees are non‑refundable; mailing is an alternative to web cancellation if required | Medium - slower, requires preparing a clear written request and using certified/registered mail |
After you cancel, save or print the cancellation confirmation and monitor your bank or card statement to ensure no unexpected renewals occur. If you receive an unauthorized charge after cancellation, contact IMDb support and your payment provider immediately. Useful pages: IMDbPro account pages and cancellation help, and the IMDb Help Centre for customer support.
