Common mistakes
Missing steps when cancelling
Users often assume clicking an app icon cancels a subscription; you must cancel through the provider account or the app‑store subscription settings.
Also watch the free trial end date; failing to cancel before the trial deadline typically results in an automatic charge.
Assuming refunds are automatic
Many subscribers assume cancellation triggers a refund; for Newsroom Pro and Delve+ refunds are not normally offered unless required by law.
If you think a refund is warranted under the CGA, state the legal basis clearly when you contact support and provide supporting evidence.
