What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel a subscription, you typically retain access until the end of the paid billing period.

After the paid period ends, digital access and subscriber benefits stop unless you resubscribe.

Renewal and billing

Canceling prevents future automatic renewals but does not usually produce a refund for unused time.

If you cancel through the App Store or Google Play, billing and refunds follow their respective policies.

Account and data

Your HBR account remains active for login purposes; saved settings or library items may remain tied to your account.

If you need data or receipts, download them from your account portal before access ends or contact customer service.

Will I get a refund?

Web purchases and digital products

Digital products (cases, articles, e-books, simulations) are generally non-returnable and non-refundable once access is granted.

HBR generally does not provide prorated refunds for web subscriptions; canceling stops future renewals but does not refund unused time.

App Store and Google Play purchases

HBR does not provide prorated refunds for subscriptions billed through app stores.

Any refund requests for App Store or Google Play purchases must be handled under Apple or Google refund rules and policies.

Exceptions and remedies

• If services are not delivered (for example, missing print issues), contact customer service to request a remedy such as replacement or a discussion about a refund.
• Consumers may assert local consumer-rights protections where delivery or service is faulty; results depend on circumstances and regional law.

Your consumer rights in Singapore

Consumer protection basics

Singapore consumers have rights under local consumer-protection frameworks for faulty or undelivered goods and services.

If HBR fails to deliver promised services, you may be entitled to a remedy such as replacement, repair, or refund depending on the circumstances.

How to assert your rights

• Contact HBR customer service first and document the interaction and outcome.
• If unresolved, gather evidence (receipts, emails, screenshots) and consider raising a formal complaint with the vendor or platform.

When to escalate

If the vendor or platform does not resolve the issue, you may seek guidance from consumer-protection agencies or consider dispute resolution options available in Singapore.

This guide does not provide legal advice; consult a qualified advisor for complex disputes.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some subscribers praise HBR for high-quality content and valuable insights useful for management and leadership development.

Positive reviews note strong editorial value in articles and case studies.

Negative feedback

Reported issues include late or missing print magazine deliveries and problems with subscription renewals.

Several users have reported poor or slow customer-service responses, and difficulties with account access or password resets.

Takeaway

Expect strong editorial content but be prepared to follow up with customer service for delivery or account issues.

Keep records of communications and receipts if you experience problems.

Documentation checklist

Before contacting customer service

• Account email and username used for the subscription.
• Proof of purchase or receipt (App Store/Google Play receipt or web confirmation).
• Subscription ID or order number if available.

Evidence for disputes

• Screenshots of billing, renewal charges, and subscription settings.
• Dates and details of missed print deliveries or access failures.
• Copies of any prior support requests and replies.

Common mistakes

Assuming cancellation was completed

Users sometimes assume a cancellation succeeded without checking the subscription status in the App Store, Google Play, or HBR account.

Always verify the subscription shows as canceled and note the end-of-access date.

Requesting refunds from the wrong party

Subscribers sometimes contact HBR for refunds of App Store or Google Play purchases; those refunds are controlled by Apple or Google.

For in-app purchases, file a refund request through the App Store or Google Play refund process and keep a record.

Mistaken expectations about prorated refunds

HBR’s stated practice is not to provide prorated refunds for unused time on web subscriptions; expect cancellation to stop future charges only.

If you believe exceptional circumstances apply, present evidence and escalate to customer service promptly.
