How to cancel Warhammer+ in canada: your legal rights and step-by-step guide
Why you might cancel Warhammer+ and what to expect
Warhammer+ is Games Workshop's subscription streaming and hobby platform, offering access to exclusive television programming, digital companion applications, curated lore content, and subscriber-exclusive merchandise discounts. The service has become a central hub for fans who wish to stay connected to the Warhammer universe. However, if you no longer engage with these offerings or prefer to redirect your monthly budget, cancelling is your right. This guide, provided by Yafee, walks you through every cancellation method available to Canadian subscribers and anchors your rights under Canadian consumer protection law.
When cancellation makes sense
You may decide to cancel if you have finished the available television content, stepped away from the hobby, or discovered that the subscription does not align with your entertainment spending. Games Workshop currently restricts new subscriptions from Canada due to regional licensing, which can complicate account management for existing subscribers. Cancelling promptly prevents recurring charges and gives you back control of your budget. Yafee recommends reviewing your cancellation terms before you act, as refund eligibility varies depending on your billing platform and subscription tier.
Regional restrictions and your account status
If you subscribed to Warhammer+ before Games Workshop implemented its regional block on new Canadian accounts, you retain the right to access and manage your existing subscription. You can cancel through the original platform where you set up your account (typically Google Play, Apple's App Store, or a third-party payment processor). Alternatively, you may send formal cancellation notice via registered mail to Games Workshop's corporate office. Yafee explains this choice in detail throughout this guide.
Understanding Warhammer+ pricing in canada
Your subscription plan determines your billing cycle, refund window, and cancellation timing.
| Subscription plan |
Price (CAD) |
Billing cycle |
Key features |
| Warhammer+ monthly |
$9.99 |
Every 30 days |
Full service access, television shows, digital apps, lore vault, merch discount |
| Warhammer+ annual |
$84.99 |
Every 12 months |
Same as monthly, plus exclusive subscriber miniature released after one month |
The monthly plan ($9.99 CAD) suits subscribers who prefer flexibility and shorter commitment windows. The annual plan ($84.99 CAD) costs approximately 29 percent less per year but requires you to commit for a full 12 months. If you cancel mid-year on the annual plan, refund eligibility depends on your province's consumer protection rules and your payment method-we address this below.
Your cancellation path depends entirely on where you set up your subscription; simply deleting the app does not stop billing.
Cancel through google play on android
Google Play processes billing for most Canadian Android users. Cancelling here ends future charges while preserving your access through the end of your current billing period.
- Open the Google Play app on your Android device or navigate to play.google.com in your web browser
- If on the mobile app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- If on the web, click your profile image at the top right
- Select Payments and subscriptions from the menu
- Tap or click Subscriptions
- Find and select Warhammer+ from the list
- Tap Manage subscription
- Select Cancel subscription and confirm your cancellation
- Google Play will display any remaining access period and refund eligibility status
- Save your cancellation confirmation email as proof of the transaction
Google Play typically allows you to cancel at any time, with access continuing through the end of your paid billing cycle. Keep your confirmation email in case you need to dispute an unexpected charge later.
Cancel through apple's app store on iOS
If you subscribed via Apple's ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch), Apple handles your billing and cancellation. The process mirrors Google Play but uses Apple's interface.
- Open the App Store on your Apple device
- Tap your account profile icon (usually in the top right corner)
- Select Subscriptions from the menu
- Find and tap Warhammer+
- Tap Cancel subscription or Edit subscription
- Confirm your cancellation request
- Apple displays your access end date and any applicable refund eligibility
- Screenshot or save your confirmation for your records
Apple also allows cancellation up until the renewal date. After you cancel, you keep access to Warhammer+ until that date arrives, after which your account locks you out of paid content.
Cancel via games workshop's website or direct account management
Some Canadian subscribers may have linked their Warhammer+ account directly to Games Workshop's website rather than through a third-party app store. If this applies to you, cancel through your Games Workshop account dashboard.
- Log in to your Warhammer+ account on the official Games Workshop website or companion app
- Navigate to Account settings or Subscription management
- Locate your active Warhammer+ subscription
- Select Cancel subscription or Manage billing
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation
- Retain your confirmation message or screenshot
Cancel by registered mail
If you cannot cancel through the app or website, or if you wish to create a formal record of your cancellation request, send written notice via registered mail (also called "mail with proof of delivery" in Canada) to Games Workshop's registered corporate office.
- Prepare your cancellation letter in plain English, including
- Your full name and the email address linked to your Warhammer+ account
- Your account number or subscription ID (find this in your confirmation emails or billing statements)
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect
- A clear statement: "I hereby request cancellation of my Warhammer+ subscription effective immediately"
- Address the letter to Games Workshop's Canadian business office (Games Workshop Ltd., registered office for Canadian operations)
- Send the letter via Canada Post registered mail with return receipt
- This creates a tracked record that Games Workshop received your notice
- Cost is approximately $12-15 CAD depending on destination
- Retain your Canada Post receipt and tracking number
- Allow 10-15 business days for Games Workshop to process your cancellation request
Registered mail is the most legally defensible method if Games Workshop later disputes whether you cancelled or claims they never received notice.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Canadian consumer protection law grants you specific rights when cancelling subscriptions; understanding these rights prevents Games Workshop from overcharging you.
Your legal position
Under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection statutes (including Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002, British Columbia's Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, and equivalents in every province), you have the right to cancel a subscription without penalty once your current billing cycle ends. You also enjoy a statutory cooling-off period in most provinces: typically 14 days from the date you accept the terms, during which you may withdraw without justification. If Games Workshop continues billing after you cancel, or if they refuse to honour your cancellation request, you may file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority-usually the provincial attorney general's office or a dedicated consumer protection bureau.
Refund eligibility and timelines
Refunds depend on your plan and cancellation timing:
- Monthly plan cancellations: You receive no refund for the current month; cancellation takes effect at the next billing date. Refunds apply only if you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase, or if Games Workshop breaches the service agreement.
- Annual plan cancellations: If you cancel mid-year, refund eligibility varies by province and payment method. Some provinces require a refund of unused time; others allow Games Workshop to retain the full annual fee. Check your provincial consumer protection law or contact your province's consumer protection office.
- Billing platform refunds: If you cancelled through Google Play or Apple, those platforms often process refunds within 3-5 business days once the cancellation is confirmed. If you cancelled via Games Workshop directly, Games Workshop processes refunds within 7-10 business days.
Escalation if games workshop refuses to cancel
If you request cancellation and Games Workshop continues billing, or if they claim they never received your cancellation notice, escalate your complaint to your provincial consumer protection authority. In Ontario, file a complaint with the Ontario Attorney General's Consumer Protection Act Bureau. In British Columbia, contact the BC Office of the Ombudsperson or the Consumer Protection BC authority. Every province has an equivalent agency. Provide your cancellation confirmation email, registered mail receipt, or transaction history as evidence. The consumer protection authority can compel Games Workshop to refund charges and may impose penalties if the company violated consumer protection law.
What happens after you cancel
Cancelling Warhammer+ does not immediately remove your access; you keep full functionality until the end of your billing cycle, after which your account becomes dormant.
Your access during the notice period
After you submit a cancellation request, you retain full access to Warhammer+ television content, digital apps, and the lore vault until your billing cycle ends. You can continue watching shows, accessing subscriber-exclusive miniature designs, and using the community features. This access window allows you to finish shows or download any content you wish to preserve.
What you lose after cancellation takes effect
Once your billing cycle ends and your subscription expires, Games Workshop locks you out of all paid subscriber content. Free, non-subscriber content (if available) may remain accessible, but merch discounts, early access shows, and the curated lore vault all disappear. Your account profile and watch history remain stored by Games Workshop unless you request account deletion separately.
Requesting permanent account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. If you wish to remove your personal data entirely, you must submit a separate account deletion request. Contact Games Workshop's privacy or data team via their official website and cite your right to erasure under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Games Workshop must respond within 30 days and delete your data within a reasonable timeframe thereafter.
Common mistakes when cancelling Warhammer+
Cancellation is straightforward if you avoid these pitfalls; Yafee has seen thousands of consumers trip up on these issues.
Uninstalling the app without cancelling
Deleting the Warhammer+ app from your device does not cancel your subscription. Your payment method continues charging you monthly or annually, and you have no recourse because you never formally cancelled. Always complete cancellation through Google Play, Apple, Games Workshop directly, or registered mail before you delete the app.
Missing the refund window on annual subscriptions
If you bought an annual Warhammer+ subscription and cancel after 30 days, you may forfeit the chance to claim a pro-rata refund. Some provinces require refunds for unused time; others do not. Check your province's consumer protection law or request a refund within 30 days of purchase to maximize your chances of success.
Cancelling without saving proof
If Games Workshop continues billing after you cancel and you have no confirmation email, screenshot, or registered mail receipt, you cannot prove you cancelled. Always retain cancellation confirmations, and choose registered mail if you want the strongest possible evidence of your cancellation request.
Not checking for auto-renewal activations
In rare cases, Games Workshop may reactivate auto-renewal after you cancel if you log back into your account or re-accept terms. After cancellation, do not re-authenticate to Warhammer+ unless you intend to resubscribe. If unexpected charges appear, dispute them immediately with your bank or payment platform.

Creating the strongest legal record; ideal if other methods fail |
Yafee advises using the Google Play or Apple method if available, as these platforms have the most robust cancellation infrastructure and dispute resolution systems. Reserve registered mail for cases where you suspect Games Workshop will contest your cancellation or if other methods have already failed.
Getting help if games workshop refuses to cooperate
If you have cancelled and Games Workshop continues charging, or if the company claims your cancellation was invalid, escalate the issue systematically.
Step one: contact games workshop customer service
Email Games Workshop's support team with your cancellation confirmation, account details, and any unauthorized charges. Allow 5 business days for a response. Yafee recommends using formal language: "I submitted a cancellation request on [date] via [method]. I have attached my confirmation [attachment]. I have been charged $X.XX on [date] despite this cancellation. I request an immediate refund and confirmation that my subscription is cancelled."
Step two: dispute the charge with your payment provider
If Games Workshop does not refund within 10 business days, open a dispute with your bank, credit card company, or Google Play/Apple. Provide your cancellation confirmation and proof of the unauthorized charges. Most payment processors investigate and resolve disputes within 15-30 days.
Step three: file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority
Contact your province's consumer protection office (for example, the Ontario Attorney General, BC Consumer Protection BC, or Alberta's Fair Trading Act administrator). File a formal complaint stating that Games Workshop refused to honour your cancellation request and continued billing without authorization. Attach all supporting documents. The authority can compel Games Workshop to refund you and may impose fines if the company violated consumer law.
