What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

Cancelling stops future renewals but does not remove access immediately if you are in a paid period.

You typically retain full access until the end of the current paid term or trial period.

Renewal and account data

Auto‑renewal is turned off when you cancel; your account remains visible and you can reactivate by signing in and subscribing again.

Account information and watch history are usually kept according to Acorn’s data retention practices until you delete the account or as allowed by their policy.

Will I get a refund?

Standard refund policy

Acorn TV’s published policy states there are no refunds or credits for partial billing periods or unwatched content unless required by law.

Full access normally continues until the subscription period ends after cancellation.

Exceptions and South Africa specifics

• Acorn’s terms specify specific cooling‑off windows only for certain countries (e.g., UK, Austria, Brazil) and do not advertise a general 14‑day automatic refund for South Africa.
• If you believe a refund is required by South African law or there was an unauthorised charge, contact your payment provider and Acorn support to request review and possible refund.

Acorn TV plans and pricing

Available plan

Below is the plan and the most recent verified South Africa price data available.

Historical pricing may have changed; contact Acorn support if you need current local pricing.

Trial information

Acorn TV has historically offered a short free trial (for example, 7 days) in South Africa; check your sign‑up terms for exact trial length.

Trials automatically convert to paid subscriptions unless cancelled before the trial ends.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Statutory rights overview

South African consumer protection law (for example, the Consumer Protection Act) can provide rights in cases of faulty or misrepresented goods and services.

These laws may allow remedies if the service is materially different from what was promised or if you were charged without consent.

How this applies to Acorn TV

• Acorn’s published terms state they do not offer refunds unless required by law; they do not explicitly promise a South Africa cooling‑off period in their public terms.
• If you believe statutory rights apply, raise the issue with Acorn support and your payment provider; consider seeking consumer advice in South Africa for unresolved disputes.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Account email address used to sign up.
• Subscription receipts or bank/credit card transaction reference showing payment.
• Device or platform used to subscribe (Apple, Google, Samsung, direct website).

If you need proof after cancelling

• Screenshot of the cancellation confirmation or subscription settings showing auto‑renewal turned off.
• Support ticket number or email thread with Acorn support.
• Bank or card statement lines demonstrating charge dates and amounts.

Common mistakes

Deleting the app

Removing the Acorn TV app from a device does not cancel the subscription or stop billing.

Always cancel via the account billing source (Acorn website, Apple, Google or Samsung) and obtain confirmation.

Cancelling through the wrong place

Many subscribers attempt to cancel on the app but were billed via Apple/Google/Samsung; always cancel where the original payment method was used.

Also confirm cancellation with a visual confirmation or email receipt to avoid unexpected renewals.

Comparative recap

Quick comparison

Recommendation

Cancel through the service where you first subscribed (Acorn web, Apple, Google, Samsung) and keep confirmation evidence.

If a charge looks unauthorised, contact both Acorn support and your payment provider promptly.

After cancelling

Check access and billing

• Verify you still have access until the end of your paid period and note the expiry date.
• Monitor your bank or card statement for any unexpected post‑cancellation charges.

Contact support if needed

If cancellation does not process or you need assistance, use Acorn’s official help pages for guidance and to open a support ticket.
