Cancellation service #1 in New Zealand
CBS All Access was the original name for the streaming service now branded as Paramount+. It offers on‑demand TV shows, movies and some live sports/content from the Paramount group.
The service is primarily offered in the US and some other regions. It is not officially marketed as a New Zealand domestic service; some NZ users access it via US accounts, gift cards or third‑party methods.
When you cancel, your subscription normally remains active until the end of the current billing period.
You can continue streaming until that date; access does not normally stop immediately unless specified by the platform.
Cancellation stops future recurring charges but does not retroactively refund already charged fees.
Check the billing date in your account to confirm when the final access day will be.
Your account information (profile, watch history, downloads where applicable) generally remains on file after cancellation.
You can usually restart the subscription later using the same account and payment method.
The official terms state that fees are non‑refundable. Cancelling mid‑period does not create an automatic prorated refund.
Access is retained until the end of the paid period but you should not expect a refund as standard policy.
Below are representative NZD prices (ranges) for Paramount+ plans commonly used by NZ customers accessing US subscriptions.
These figures reflect recent conversions and are approximate; availability in NZ is not official.
| Plan | Period | Price (NZD) | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paramount+ Essential (ad‑supported) | Monthly | NZ$13.53 - 14.26/month | Access to Paramount+ library with ads; live NFL/UEFA; no local CBS |
| Paramount+ Essential (ad‑supported) | Annual | NZ$101.60 - 107.15/year | Access to Paramount+ library with ads; live NFL/UEFA; no local CBS |
| Paramount+ with SHOWTIME | Monthly | NZ$22.00 - 23.20/month | Ad‑free (except live TV), includes SHOWTIME content, local CBS |
| Paramount+ with SHOWTIME | Annual | NZ$203.22 - 214.31/year | Ad‑free (except live TV), includes SHOWTIME content, local CBS |
New Zealand consumer law protects against unfair trading, false representations and defective digital goods in certain circumstances.
However, specific automatic cooling‑off rules for streaming subscriptions like the EU/UK 14‑day right do not clearly apply in the same way in NZ.
Document problems (dates, screenshots, errors) and attempt to resolve with the provider or the billing platform first.
If you believe your consumer rights have been breached, contact Consumer Protection (New Zealand) or seek advice before escalating to chargebacks or complaints.
There are relatively few positive reviews; some users report satisfactory content selection and occasional smooth viewing.
Positive comments are generally limited compared with negative reports in NZ Trustpilot summaries.
Experiences are mixed but skew negative in public NZ reviews. Technical reliability and billing/customer service are the main pain points.
If you rely on a stable service, factor customer feedback into your decision to subscribe or renew.
A common error is attempting to cancel on the Paramount/CBS website when the subscription was billed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon or Roku.
If you used an app store or channel, you must cancel inside that store or channel; otherwise charges will continue.
Many users expect automatic prorated refunds after mid‑period cancellation; the published policy does not provide refunds as standard.
Expect to retain access until period end but not to receive a refund unless an exception is granted.
The table below compares common cancellation paths and the likely refund outcome for NZ users.
| Topic | Ease | Refund likelihood | Action for NZ users |
|---|---|---|---|
| Website (CBS/Paramount+) | Easy if you used a direct account | Low - standard policy: no refund | Sign in at account page and cancel; keep receipts if disputing charges |
| Apple App Store (iOS) | Easy via Apple ID subscriptions | Low - Apple handles billing; refunds via Apple support | Cancel in Subscriptions; contact Apple Support for refunds |
| Google Play (Android) | Easy via Play Store subscriptions | Low - Google handles billing; refunds via Google Play | Cancel in Play Store; request refund via Google Play help |
| Third‑party channels (Roku, Amazon) | Varies by platform | Low to medium - depends on platform policies | Cancel through that provider and check their refund process |
