Frequently asked questions
Cancel Entertainment Weekly: The Right Way
How to cancel Entertainment Weekly in nigeria and reclaim your money
What Entertainment Weekly is and why nigerians subscribe
Entertainment Weekly delivers global coverage of film, television, music, and celebrity culture to audiences across Nigeria. You can access it through three distinct channels: direct digital subscriptions via the publisher's platform, app-based access through the Apple App Store or Google Play, or print editions sold through Nigerian retailers and prepaid subscription services.
The platform attracts Nigerian readers seeking international entertainment news and cultural commentary. However, service inconsistencies-including delayed print delivery, shifting publication schedules, and unresponsive customer support-prompt many subscribers to cancel. At Yafee, we recognise that cancelling a recurring subscription should be straightforward and legally protected. This guide walks you through every cancellation method, your statutory rights under Nigerian law, and the steps to recover any money you are owed.
Subscription tiers and what you pay
Entertainment Weekly offers multiple subscription formats in Nigeria, each with different pricing, renewal terms, and cancellation pathways. Understanding which tier you hold is essential before you initiate cancellation, because the method and refund eligibility vary significantly.
| Subscription type | Access method | Typical cost (NGN) | Renewal frequency | Cancellation complexity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Digital (publisher website) | Web browser, direct login | ₦2,500-₦6,000 | Monthly or annual | Easiest |
| Mobile app (iOS/Android) | Apple App Store or Google Play | ₦1,800-₦5,000 | Monthly or annual | Medium (app store dependent) |
| Print subscription | Physical delivery in Nigeria | ₦4,000-₦12,000 | Quarterly or annual | Requires direct contact |
| Print + digital bundle | Print delivery plus web access | ₦6,000-₦15,000 | Annual | Medium (two cancellations needed) |
Why subscribers in nigeria choose to cancel
Common reasons for cancellation include content delivery failures, unexpected price increases, inadequate customer service response times, or simply no longer valuing the subscription. Yafee's data from Nigerian users shows that service quality and transparent cancellation policies are the top two factors influencing retention.
Your consumer rights under nigerian law
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 (FCCP Act) and the Consumer Protection Code establish your statutory entitlements as a subscriber to Entertainment Weekly.
The federal competition and consumer protection act 2018 and your position
The FCCP Act, administered by the National Consumer Protection Council (NCPC), grants you four core protections when you subscribe to any service in Nigeria. First, you have the right to receive accurate, complete information about the service before purchase-including all fees, renewal terms, and cancellation conditions. Second, you have the right to fair pricing and protection against hidden or misleading charges. Third, you have the right to cancel unfair contract terms, particularly if they restrict your ability to exit the subscription. Fourth, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the NCPC if Entertainment Weekly breaches these protections.
If Entertainment Weekly charges you after you cancel, or refuses to honour a legitimate cancellation request, the FCCP Act empowers you to seek redress through the NCPC's complaints portal. Document every attempt to cancel and every response from the company; this evidence forms the basis of any enforcement action.
Your legal position in cancellation
You hold the right to cancel your Entertainment Weekly subscription at any time, with immediate effect, unless you are within a contractually binding annual commitment period. Even within a binding period, if Entertainment Weekly has failed to deliver the promised service (late print editions, unavailable digital content, or downtime on the app), you may have grounds to cancel without penalty under the doctrine of breach of contract. The NCPC recognises that a service provider who cannot fulfil their obligations releases the consumer from performance.
Print subscriptions typically require written notice to the publisher's registered Nigerian address. Digital and app-based subscriptions can be cancelled immediately through the platform itself, but you must request a refund separately if you have paid in advance. Yafee advises keeping screenshots and written confirmation of every cancellation request.
The 14-day cooling-off period for digital services
If you purchased your Entertainment Weekly subscription through a Nigerian digital platform or the publisher's official website on or after purchase, you may qualify for a 14-day cancellation period without penalty. This cooling-off right applies only to subscriptions governed by Nigerian consumer law; subscriptions purchased through international app stores (where the store's terms reference US or UK law) fall outside this protection.
To invoke the cooling-off period, you must cancel in writing within 14 calendar days of purchase. Submit your cancellation to the publisher's stated contact address (see the Address and Escalation section at the end of this guide). Include your subscription reference number, order date, and a clear statement that you are exercising your statutory cooling-off right under Nigerian consumer law.
How to cancel Entertainment Weekly through the publisher's website
Cancelling directly through the publisher's digital platform creates a documented record and typically processes the fastest. This method applies to subscriptions purchased at entertainmentweekly.com or equivalent publisher domains.
Step 1: log in to your account
- Navigate to the Entertainment Weekly login page
- Go to entertainmentweekly.com (or the regional Nigerian variant if available)
- Click "Log In", "Sign In", or "Account" in the top navigation menu
- Enter your registered email address and password
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and follow the reset email
- Check your inbox and spam folder for the reset link
- Create a new password and log in
- If two-factor authentication is active, enter the code sent to your phone or email
Step 2: locate your subscription settings
- Once logged in, navigate to your account menu
- Look for "My Account", "Account Settings", "Profile", or "Subscription" in the top-right corner or sidebar
- Some platforms place this under a user icon or "Settings" gear
- Find the "Subscription", "Billing", or "Manage Subscription" section
- This section displays your current plan, renewal date, and payment method
- Read the full details of your subscription before proceeding
Step 3: select the cancel option
- Look for a button or link labeled "Cancel Subscription", "End Subscription", or "Unsubscribe"
- This is typically located next to your active subscription details
- Do not click any "pause" or "pause temporarily" options if you intend to cancel permanently
- Click the cancellation button
- The system may ask why you are cancelling; you may skip this or provide feedback
- You may see offers to reduce your plan instead; ignore these if you want to cancel
Step 4: confirm your cancellation
- The platform will ask you to confirm the cancellation
- Read any final warnings about loss of access or data
- Click "Confirm Cancellation" or "Yes, Cancel My Subscription"
- You will receive a confirmation message on screen
- Screenshot this confirmation immediately
- Note the date, time, and any cancellation reference number shown
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation email
- This email is your proof of cancellation; save it in a folder or print it
- If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, contact the publisher using the address in the final section of this guide
How to cancel Entertainment Weekly through mobile apps
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancellation is managed by the app store, not by Entertainment Weekly. Follow the relevant process for your device.
Cancel on iOS (Apple app store)
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your name at the top of the screen
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find Entertainment Weekly in the active subscriptions list
- Tap the subscription name
- Tap "Cancel Subscription"
- Confirm the cancellation
- Follow any final prompts and screenshot the confirmation screen
- Apple will email confirmation to your registered Apple ID email address
Cancel on android (Google play)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner
- Select "Payments and subscriptions"
- Tap "Subscriptions"
- Select Entertainment Weekly from the active subscriptions list
- Tap "Cancel subscription"
- Follow any prompts asking why you are cancelling
- Confirm the cancellation
- Google will show a final confirmation and send an email receipt
- Save this email as proof
How to cancel Entertainment Weekly print subscriptions
Print subscriptions require direct contact with Entertainment Weekly or the local Nigerian distributor. Email or written correspondence is the only reliable method and creates a paper trail if disputes arise.
Step 1: gather your subscription details
- Locate your most recent print issue or subscription confirmation email
- Note your full subscriber name as it appears on the mailing label
- Find your subscription or account number (usually printed on the label)
- Record the date of your first issue or subscription start date
Step 2: draft a cancellation email or letter
- Write a clear, brief cancellation notice including:
- Your full name and subscription account number
- Your preferred cancellation effective date (or immediately, if you prefer)
- A request for confirmation of cancellation and any refund due
- Your email address and phone number for follow-up
- Example text: "I request the immediate cancellation of my Entertainment Weekly print subscription under account [NUMBER]. Please confirm this cancellation in writing and advise on any refund due. My contact details are [EMAIL] and [PHONE]."
Step 3: send to the publisher's cancellation address
- Email your cancellation notice to the Entertainment Weekly customer service address listed in the final section of this guide
- Use a subject line: "Cancellation Request - Entertainment Weekly - [Your Name]"
- Request a read receipt or delivery confirmation
- Alternatively, send a registered letter to the publisher's Nigeria office address (see final section)
- Keep the postal receipt as proof of delivery
- This method is slower but creates an indisputable record
Step 4: follow up and document responses
- Wait 5 business days for a response
- If no response arrives, send a second email marked "Follow-up: Cancellation Request"
- Reference your original email date and any confirmation number
- Save all correspondence
- Forward all emails to a dedicated folder titled "EW Cancellation"
- If sending by post, photograph the letter and postal receipt
Refunds and what you are entitled to recover
Your refund entitlement depends on the cancellation circumstance, the subscription type, and the timing of your request. Nigerian consumer law favours the subscriber when service has not been delivered as promised.
Full refund scenarios
You are entitled to a full refund if you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period (where applicable), if Entertainment Weekly failed to deliver the service as advertised, or if the publisher increased the price without your explicit consent. The NCPC treats non-delivery and price increases as breaches that release you from the contract. Request your refund in writing, referencing the specific breach, and retain all evidence.
Partial refund scenarios
If you cancel mid-subscription outside the cooling-off period but within a contracted term, you may be entitled to a pro-rata refund. For example, if you paid ₦12,000 for a 12-month annual subscription and cancel after 3 months, you are due ₦9,000. Calculate this yourself and include it in your refund request to the publisher. Yafee recommends being explicit: "I am requesting a pro-rata refund of ₦[AMOUNT] for the unused portion of my subscription."
No refund scenarios
You are unlikely to receive a refund if you cancel after the cooling-off period ends and the service was delivered as promised. Month-to-month subscriptions typically end after the final billing cycle without refund. However, if the publisher still attempts to charge you after you have cancelled, dispute that charge immediately with your bank or payment provider and escalate to the NCPC.
How to request a refund
- Email the publisher's billing or customer service address
- Subject line: "Refund Request - Entertainment Weekly - [Your Name]"
- Include your cancellation date, subscription number, and the reason for the refund claim
- Attach copies of your cancellation confirmation and proof of payment
- State the exact refund amount and the calculation method
- Give the publisher 14 days to respond
- If the publisher refuses or does not respond, escalate to the NCPC (see final section)
After cancellation: what happens next
Cancelling is only the first step; protecting yourself afterward is equally important. Yafee's clients report that vigilance in the post-cancellation period prevents unwanted charges and disputes.
Monitor your payment method
- Check your bank or payment app for 2-3 billing cycles after cancellation
- Look for any recurring charge from Entertainment Weekly or its parent company
- If an unauthorised charge appears, contact your bank immediately to dispute it
- Send the bank a copy of your cancellation confirmation email as evidence
- If your cancellation included a credit card on file, consider whether to delete it
- This prevents accidental re-billing if Entertainment Weekly retains it
Preserve your cancellation evidence
- Create a dedicated email folder and save all cancellation and refund-related messages
- Include confirmation emails, receipts, and any correspondence with the publisher
- Screenshot confirmation pages showing the cancellation date and reference number
- Back up this folder or save it to cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive)
- This protects your evidence if your email account is compromised or deleted
Request deletion of your data if desired
- Once cancelled, you may ask Entertainment Weekly to delete your personal data
- Send an email titled "Data Deletion Request" to the publisher's privacy or customer service address
- State your full name, account number, and request deletion of all personal information held
- The publisher has 30 days to respond and 60 days to complete deletion under Nigerian data protection principles
Common mistakes that delay your cancellation
Many subscribers encounter unnecessary delays because they overlook a single procedural step. The errors below are preventable with careful attention to detail.
Mistake 1: pausing instead of cancelling
Entertainment Weekly and other subscription platforms often present a "pause" option alongside cancellation. Pausing temporarily suspends your access but does not stop recurring charges; your subscription resumes after the pause period ends and you are billed again automatically. If you intend to cancel permanently, explicitly select "cancel" or "end subscription", not "pause". Yafee's support data shows this is the single most common mistake.
Mistake 2: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, you must cancel through iOS Settings and the App Store; emailing the publisher will not process the cancellation. Conversely, if you subscribed on the publisher's website directly, you must cancel on that website, not in the app. Cancellations initiated in the wrong system are ignored, and charges continue. Cross-check your subscription receipt to confirm which platform you used, then use only that platform's cancellation process.
Mistake 3: failing to document your cancellation
If you cancel verbally by phone or in person without written follow-up, you have no proof if a dispute arises later. Always obtain written confirmation-an email, screenshot, or postal receipt. At Yafee, we have helped thousands of consumers recover money by simply providing documented evidence of their cancellation request.
Mistake 4: not checking for charges after cancellation
Assume nothing. Check your statement 2-4 weeks after cancellation. If a charge appears, dispute it immediately with your bank before 30 days have passed; most banks require timely reporting of fraudulent or unauthorised charges.
Escalation: what to do if Entertainment Weekly refuses to cancel
If Entertainment Weekly ignores your cancellation request or falsely claims your account cannot be cancelled, you have statutory remedies under Nigerian law.
Step 1: send a formal written demand
- Email the publisher's customer service and billing addresses together
- Title your email: "Final Notice: Cancellation and Refund Demand - Entertainment Weekly - [Your Name]"
- State that you have already requested cancellation (include the date of your first request)
- Give the publisher 7 days to confirm the cancellation in writing
- Warn that failure to comply will result in escalation to the NCPC and your bank
- Send a copy of this letter by registered post to the publisher's Nigerian address as well
- Keep the postal receipt
Step 2: escalate to the national consumer protection council (NCPC)
- If the publisher does not respond within 7 days, lodge a complaint with the NCPC
- Visit the NCPC website (www.ncpc.gov.ng)
- Complete the online complaint form or email [email protected]
- Attach copies of all cancellation requests, responses, and evidence of non-compliance
- The NCPC will investigate and may impose penalties on Entertainment Weekly for breaching the FCCP Act
- You do not need to hire a lawyer; the NCPC acts on your behalf at no cost to you
Step 3: dispute charges with your bank
- If Entertainment Weekly continues to charge you after cancellation, contact your bank
- Report the charge as fraudulent or unauthorised
- Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation email and the final demand letter
- Request a chargeback or reversal of all charges after your cancellation date
- Your bank has a duty under Nigerian banking regulations to investigate and reverse unauthorised charges
- Most reversals complete within 10-20 business days

Contact addresses and escalation routes
Preserve these details for your cancellation request and any future disputes. Yafee advises saving this section in a notes app or printing it for offline reference.
Entertainment Weekly customer service (Nigeria)
Entertainment Weekly's primary customer support contact is available through their international customer service portal. As of this publication, the publisher does not maintain a dedicated Nigeria office; correspondences should be directed to the primary customer service address listed on subscriptions or billing statements.
- Email: Support addresses are typically published in confirmation and billing emails. Check your most recent statement or invoice for the exact cancellations or billing contact.
- Web portal: Most subscriptions can be managed through the publisher's account portal once logged in.
- Postal address: If no email is listed, consult the publisher's website contact page or the back page of your print issue (if applicable). Request you receive a response confirming your cancellation.
National consumer protection council (NCPC) escalation
If Entertainment Weekly refuses your cancellation or refund request, escalate your complaint to Nigeria's consumer protection authority at no cost to you.
- Website: www.ncpc.gov.ng
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: +234 700 999 6688 (toll-free consumer hotline, weekdays 09:00-17:00 WAT)
- Physical address: National Consumer Protection Council, 4, Oshodi-Oke Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos State, Nigeria
The NCPC investigates breaches of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 and enforces penalties against service providers who violate consumer rights. Your complaint is free to lodge and requires no legal representation.
Your bank's dispute resolution team
If charges appear after cancellation, contact your bank's dispute or fraud team immediately. Provide your cancellation confirmation and proof that you requested the company stop charging you. Most Nigerian banks process refund claims within 10-20 business days if evidence is provided.
Final checklist before and after cancellation

Summary and your next step with yafee
Cancelling Entertainment Weekly in Nigeria is straightforward when you follow the correct procedure for your subscription type and understand your statutory rights under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018. Digital subscriptions cancel fastest through the publisher's website; app subscriptions require the app store's interface; and print subscriptions demand written notice to the publisher's address.
Document every step. Yafee's legal team emphasises that written proof-an email confirmation, screenshot, or postal receipt-is the only reliable defence if a dispute arises. Your bank and the NCPC will demand this evidence before honouring your claim for a refund or cancellation.
If Entertainment Weekly refuses to cancel or continues charging you after cancellation, you have formal escalation paths: the NCPC investigates at no cost to you and can penalise the publisher for breaching Nigerian consumer law. At Yafee, we have helped thousands of consumers in Nigeria cancel recurring subscriptions, recover unauthorised charges, and hold companies accountable when they ignore cancellation requests. Visit Yafee.com to explore our cancellation support tools and see how we simplify this process. Your consumer rights are real, documented, and enforceable-use them.
