What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

Cancellation stops future renewals but does not usually terminate access immediately.

For digital and app subscriptions you keep access through the current paid billing cycle.

Data and account handling

Your account remains with Forbes; subscription flags change to non‑renewing and content access drops only when the paid period ends.

For refunds or disputes, you may need account details, receipts or store transaction IDs.

Will I get a refund?

Web digital subscriptions (forbes.com)

For subscriptions started before April 15, 2024: refunds were limited and pro‑rata refunds for annual/biennial plans could be requested in legacy cases.

For subscriptions on or after April 15, 2024: amounts paid are non‑refundable and cancellation does not trigger refunds.

App Store and Google Play

In‑app refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their respective policies; Forbes does not control those refunds.

Uninstalling the app does not cancel billing; you must cancel via the store to stop charges.

Print magazine refunds

Print subscriptions cannot be cancelled by the subscriber after commencement under the publisher’s terms.

Refunds for print are only at the publisher’s discretion, for example when issues are not delivered as promised.

Documentation checklist

Essential documents

• Subscription ID or order number (from confirmation email).
• The email address used to subscribe and account username.
• Payment receipt, transaction ID or bank/card statement showing the charge.

Supporting evidence

• Screenshots of subscription status or in‑app subscription page.
• Store purchase receipts for App Store or Google Play transactions.
• Delivery tracking or proof when reporting missed print issues.

Common mistakes

Uninstalling the app without cancelling

Many users assume deleting the app stops billing. It does not; you must cancel via Apple or Google Play subscriptions.

Always confirm cancellation in the store’s subscription list to avoid unexpected renewals.

Expecting post‑April‑15 refunds

Assuming a refund after cancelling digital subscriptions purchased on/after April 15, 2024 is a common error.

Check the purchase date and the published refund rules before assuming a refund will be provided.
