What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

If you cancel via the Readly website you retain access until the end of the paid subscription period.

For App Store and Google Play cancellations you generally keep access until the current billing period ends, subject to the platform’s rules.

Renewals and account data

Automatic renewals stop after cancellation; you will not be charged again after the current period finishes.

Readly retains account data per its privacy policy. You can sign in again and restart a subscription if desired.

Will I get a refund?

Readly’s standard policy

Readly’s publicly stated policy is that there is no refund for unused time after you cancel; you keep access until period end but are not refunded.

There is no explicit statutory 14‑day cooling‑off refund offered in Readly’s NZ/AU online terms and support notes.

Exceptions and disputes

• If the service is defective or not delivered, New Zealand consumer law (see below) may provide remedies including repair, replacement or refund.
• If you believe you were incorrectly charged, contact Readly support and, if needed, your payment provider (Apple/Google/bank) to dispute the charge.

Documentation checklist

Required items to speed up cancellation or disputes

• Account email address and username used for Readly.
• Proof of payment (receipt, bank/credit card statement showing the Readly charge).
• Confirmation email or screenshot showing cancellation or renewal date.

Helpful optional items

• Screenshots of subscription settings showing whether subscription is billed via Readly, Apple or Google.
• Any correspondence with Readly support, with dates and reference numbers.

Common mistakes

Cancellation via the wrong platform

Example: Trying to cancel an Apple‑billed subscription from Readly’s website. If you subscribed via the App Store, you must cancel in iOS Settings.

Check which platform charged you (receipt or bank statement) before attempting cancellation.

Missing confirmation and renewal charges

Example: Not waiting for or saving the cancellation confirmation email. Without confirmation, users may be surprised by a renewal charge.

Always keep the confirmation message or screenshot and check that automatic renewal is turned off in your account or app store.

Comparative recap

Summary

Choose the cancellation route that matches how you were billed: website, Apple or Google Play.

Refunds are not standard for unused time; raise disputes only when the service is faulty or billing is incorrect.
