Where it is used

Cancel recurring payments via PayPal

What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Cancellation typically stops auto-renewal but preserves access until the end of the current paid billing period.
You can continue to stream or use the service for the remainder of the period you already paid for.
Account and data
Cancelling does not automatically delete your account or viewing history in most cases.
If you wish to remove personal data, contact support and follow the platform-specific account deletion process.
Will I get a refund?

Irokotv generally treats payments as non-refundable and does not offer refunds for partial or early cancellation.
Access remains until the billing period ends; refunds are uncommon.
Exceptions and how to request a refund
- Exceptions may apply if the service is defective, unavailable, or misrepresented.
- Document issues (screenshots, dates, correspondence) and contact support to request a review.

Common mistakes
Not checking where you subscribed
Many users try to cancel in the app but actually subscribed via Apple, Google Play or PayPal.
Always verify the platform that billed you before attempting cancellation.
