What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel an auto‑renewing digital subscription you will normally retain access until the end of the current paid period.
Renewal and auto‑renew settings
Auto‑renewing subscriptions (App Store, Google Play, HBR app) will continue until you complete cancellation via the platform where you originally purchased.
Data and account retention
Your HBR account and purchase history are typically retained by HBR for account support and records.
If you want data removed, request account changes via customer service or the account portal.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
HBR generally does not provide prorated refunds for digital subscriptions purchased via the web; canceling stops future renewals but does not refund unused time.
Source: subscription guidance summarized from public sources.
Digital products and returns
- Digital items such as case studies, e-books, articles and online courses are non-returnable and non-refundable.
- See Harvard Business Publishing return policy: Return Policy (Harvard Business Publishing).
Exceptions and faulty service claims
Under New Zealand law you may be entitled to remedies (repair, replacement or refund) if the service is faulty or not delivered as promised.

How to assert your rights
- Document the issue (screenshots, emails, delivery records) and contact HBR customer service first.

Ratings and sources
Trustpilot reviews for HBR show negative feedback with a TrustScore of 2.7/5 from 10 reviews (NZ page).
See: HBR on Trustpilot (NZ).
Practical takeaway
- Keep clear records of purchase and cancellation attempts to support any complaint.
- Use the original purchase platform (App Store, Google Play, HBR account) to cancel to avoid delays.
Documentation checklist
Essential items to gather
- Account email and username used for the subscription.
- Order or subscription number and receipt showing payment date.
- Proof of purchase (bank/credit card statement or app receipt screenshot).
Supportive evidence for disputes
- Screenshots of subscription settings, renewal notices, or failed delivery messages.
- Copies of emails or messages sent to HBR customer service and any replies.
- Delivery records for print issues showing non‑delivery or delay.
Common mistakes
Canceling on the wrong platform
A common error is attempting to cancel via HBR when the subscription was purchased through the App Store or Google Play.
Always cancel through the platform you used to subscribe to stop auto‑renewal immediately.
Missing cancellation deadlines
Another mistake is waiting until after the renewal window; some platforms require cancellation at least 24 hours before renewal.
Check renewal dates and cancel early to avoid an unwanted charge.
Poor documentation
Failing to keep receipts, confirmation emails or screenshots weakens your case when requesting refunds or disputing renewals.
Save transaction records and any correspondence with customer service.
