Our approach to cancellations and refunds.
Last updated: 21 May 2026
Effective date: 21 May 2026
How refunds work at AnyNews. The short version:
The full policy below is the legally binding version.
1.1 This Refund Policy ("Policy") applies to all paid subscriptions to AnyNews. It is incorporated into our Terms of Service and uses the same defined terms.
1.2 Pricing, plans, and billing mechanics are described on our Pricing page and in Terms of Service §8.
You can cancel your paid subscription at any time from your account settings (Profile → Subscription → Cancel). No phone call, support ticket, or written notice is required.
Cancellation stops the next billing cycle. You retain access to paid features through the end of your current billing period (monthly or annual, depending on your plan).
We do not provide prorated refunds for the unused portion of a billing period when you cancel. If you cancel on day 5 of a 30-day cycle, you retain access for the remaining 25 days but receive no refund for those days. The same applies to annual subscriptions canceled mid-year.
If you are a consumer (an individual purchasing not in connection with a trade or business) and you reside in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, you have the right to cancel your first paid subscription to AnyNews within 14 days of the start of that subscription, without giving a reason, and receive a refund.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, email info@anynews.ai within 14 days of your first payment, with the subject line "EU/UK Refund Request" and your account email. We will process the refund within 14 days of receiving your request.
You will receive a refund of the subscription amount paid, less a deduction proportional to the use you have already made of the Service (under EU Directive 2011/83/EU Article 14). For example, if you used 4 days of a 30-day subscription before withdrawing, the refund will be approximately 26/30 of the amount paid.
Refunds are issued to the original payment method (the card or PayPal account used for the purchase).
The right of withdrawal does not apply:
Outside the cooling-off period in §3, refunds are not guaranteed. We may, at our discretion, provide partial or full refunds in cases such as:
To request a refund outside the cooling-off period, email info@anynews.ai with the subject "Refund Request" and a description of the circumstances. We aim to respond within 10 business days.
We do not provide refunds in the following circumstances:
Automatic renewals are not refundable. You can disable auto-renewal at any time from your account settings; we will not refund a renewal that already processed because you forgot to cancel.
Accounts terminated for violations of our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms of Service are not entitled to refunds for the remaining billing period.
Once you have used the Service substantially during a billing period, that period is generally non-refundable (except under the cooling-off provisions in §3).
Charges by Stripe, PayPal, or your bank for currency conversion, transaction fees, or other third-party costs are not within our control and are not refundable through us. Contact the relevant provider for those.
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method.
Once approved, refunds typically appear on your statement within 5 to 10 business days for cards and 1 to 3 business days for PayPal, depending on your bank or PayPal's processing times.
Refunds are issued in the same currency as the original charge.
We may update this Policy at any time. Material changes are notified per our Terms of Service §15.1.
