Before you cancel

Notice period

None. Cancel any time; the subscription runs to the end of the paid period.

Refunds

Purchases made directly on headspace.com are non-refundable. App-store purchases follow Apple’s or Google’s refund rules. The EU 14-day withdrawal right applies to a new direct subscription if you have not started using it.

Worth knowing

• The discounted first year renews at the full annual price in one charge. Set a reminder a week before the renewal date shown on the manage page.
• A free trial converts automatically. Cancelling inside the trial keeps the trial to its end.
• Headspace through an employer or health insurer is managed by that scheme, not by you; it usually ends when the scheme does.
• Coaching add-ons are a separate subscription with their own cancellation.

Your rights in the EU

These apply in most EU countries on top of whatever the service’s own terms say. The detail varies by country, so treat this as the floor, not the full picture.

• 14 days to change your mind. For most contracts you sign online you have 14 days to withdraw without giving a reason. For a digital service you start using straight away, the seller can ask you to give up that right at checkout, which is what the tick-box you clicked past was for, or charge you for the part you used.
• Auto-renewal has to be clear. A service that renews automatically has to tell you so before you sign up, including how long each renewal lasts and what it costs. Some countries go further: in Germany, a contract signed since March 2022 can only renew indefinitely if you can then cancel monthly, and notice periods are capped at one month. France, Austria, Romania and Sweden require a separate reminder before a renewal.
• A cancel button, in Germany. If you signed up online with a company selling in Germany, its website has to carry a clearly labelled cancellation button since July 2022, and cancelling has to be as easy as signing up was. Across the EU, an equivalent withdrawal function for the 14-day right became mandatory on 19 June 2026.
• Keep the confirmation. Cancel through the account page or the official form rather than by replying to a no-reply address, screenshot the confirmation, and keep the email. If a charge lands after that date, the confirmation is what gets it reversed.
