Frequently asked questions
Cancel Magellantv: The Right Way
How to cancel Magellantv in new zealand and understand your consumer rights
What Magellantv is and how it works
Magellantv is a subscription streaming service dedicated to documentary content spanning history, science, nature, and culture. The platform delivers ad-free viewing with high-quality video options, including 4K and UHD on selected titles, and provides subtitles across many programmes. Your subscription gives you access to a curated library of educational and factual entertainment, available on-demand whenever you choose to watch.
How you access Magellantv
You can watch Magellantv through their website, smart TV applications, and mobile apps available on iOS and Android. If you subscribed through Apple's App Store or Google Play, your subscription exists within those platforms rather than directly with Magellantv. This distinction matters significantly when you cancel, because where you signed up determines which cancellation process you must follow.
Subscription plans available to new zealand customers
Magellantv offers two main billing options to New Zealand customers: a monthly plan with a 7-day free trial, and an annual plan with a 14-day free trial. Pricing varies by region and changes periodically, so verify current New Zealand dollar amounts directly on the Magellantv website before committing to a plan.
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Free trial period | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Every 30 days | 7 days | Testing the service |
| Annual | Once per year | 14 days | Long-term documentary lovers |
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
Understanding what New Zealand law guarantees you is essential before you cancel, because your legal protections cannot be removed by terms and conditions alone. Magellantv's published terms state no refunds apply once you have paid, but this restriction does not override the statutory protections you hold as a New Zealand consumer.
The consumer guarantees act and what it means for you
New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 provides you with rights that supersede Magellantv's refund policy. If Magellantv fails to deliver the service as advertised for example, if streaming quality is consistently poor, content is unavailable, or the service does not function on your device you may have grounds for a refund or remedy. The Act implies a guarantee that the service be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. If you have paid for a streaming service but it does not stream reliably or deliver what was advertised, this gap matters legally.
What to do if you believe you deserve a refund
If you cancel because Magellantv failed to deliver its service properly, document the problem with screenshots or video evidence. Contact Magellantv support in writing; email is ideal because it creates a paper trail. Explain specifically why you believe a refund is warranted under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Yafee recommends keeping all receipts, confirmation emails, and payment records for at least 12 months after cancellation.
If Magellantv refuses your refund request, escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission, which is New Zealand's primary consumer enforcement body. You may also seek advice from Consumer NZ, an independent non-profit organisation that advocates for consumer rights in New Zealand. Include your documentation and a clear explanation of how the service failed to meet the statutory guarantees.
Your legal position
You hold the right to cancel at any time without penalty. If Magellantv has misrepresented the service, charged you without proper consent, or failed to deliver promised functionality, you are protected by statute. The burden falls on Magellantv to prove it has complied with the Consumer Guarantees Act; a blanket no-refund clause does not protect the company if the service was faulty. Yafee's legal framework emphasises that your cancellation rights are backed by law, not merely by goodwill.
How to cancel Magellantv in new zealand
Your cancellation process depends on where you signed up and how you pay. Yafee breaks down each route so you follow the correct steps the first time and avoid accidental re-billing.
Cancelling via the Magellantv website
If you subscribed directly on Magellantv's website using a credit or debit card, you cancel through your account settings.
- Visit magellantv.com and log into your account with your email address and password.
- Click your profile icon (typically in the top-right corner) and select Account Settings or Subscription.
- Locate the Cancel Subscription button, which appears near your current plan information.
- Review the cancellation summary. Magellantv will confirm your access ends at the next billing date.
- If you are mid-billing cycle, your access continues until the end of that period.
- Any remaining time is non-refundable under Magellantv's standard terms, unless you have grounds under the Consumer Guarantees Act.
- Click Confirm Cancellation or the equivalent button to complete the action.
- Save the confirmation email or take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page.
Cancelling an apple app store subscription
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you must cancel through Apple's system, not through Magellantv directly.
- Open the Settings app on your iOS device (or System Preferences on Mac).
- Tap your name or Apple ID at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find Magellantv in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- You may see options to try to retain the subscription; select the final option to confirm cancellation.
- Apple will confirm when the cancellation is complete.
- Note the cancellation date. Your access ends on this date; no access continues after that point.
Cancelling a google play subscription
If you subscribed through Google Play on an Android device, cancel through the Google Play Store.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Magellantv and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Google may display retention offers; select the option to confirm cancellation.
- Google Play will send a confirmation email to your associated account.
- Save the confirmation email from Google Play.
Cancelling by post or mail
If you prefer to cancel in writing or if you encounter issues cancelling online, you may submit a cancellation request by post. Although no specific New Zealand address is publicly listed, send your cancellation request to Magellantv's corporate mailing address. Use registered or tracked mail to ensure delivery and proof of posting.
Include the following in your letter:
- Your full name and email address associated with the account
- Your account number (if you have it)
- The date of your cancellation request
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Magellantv subscription effective immediately."
- A copy of your most recent billing confirmation or payment receipt
Send your letter to the address listed in Magellantv's Terms of Use. If you do not have the current address, email Magellantv support and request their official mailing address for cancellations. Yafee recommends keeping the proof of posting receipt and a copy of your letter for your records.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is not instantaneous; you must understand the timeline to avoid confusion or unexpected charges.
Your access timeline after cancellation
Once you submit your cancellation request, your access to Magellantv continues until the end of your current billing period. If you cancel mid-month on a monthly plan, you retain access until the next month's billing date. If you cancel mid-year on an annual plan, you retain access for the remainder of that year. Magellantv does not issue partial refunds for unused time, even if you cancel early, unless you have a valid claim under the Consumer Guarantees Act.
Verify the cancellation was processed
Within 24 to 48 hours of cancelling, check your email for a confirmation message from Magellantv (or Apple or Google if you cancelled through those platforms). If you do not receive a confirmation, contact Magellantv support immediately. Do not assume the cancellation succeeded simply because you clicked the button.
Monitor your bank statement
Check your bank or credit card statement on your next billing date to confirm no new charge appears. If Magellantv charges you after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute. Most banks can reverse unauthorised or disputed charges within 60 days. Yafee advises you to retain screenshots of your cancellation confirmation alongside your bank statement as evidence.
Refund eligibility and how to claim
Magellantv's default policy is non-refundable, but this does not end the conversation if the service failed to meet its legal obligations.
When you may be entitled to a refund
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, you may claim a refund if any of the following apply:
- The service was unavailable or non-functional for a significant portion of your subscription period.
- Streaming quality was consistently below acceptable standards (buffering, crashes, poor resolution).
- Content advertised as available was missing or removed without notice.
- The service does not work on your device despite being marketed as compatible.
- Magellantv misrepresented the service in its marketing materials.
How to request a refund
Email Magellantv support with the subject line "Consumer Guarantees Act Refund Request". Include your account details, the dates of the problems you experienced, and screenshots or video evidence of the failures. Reference the specific section of the Consumer Guarantees Act in your email. Provide a clear statement of the refund amount you are seeking and your reasoning.
Magellantv has a reasonable timeframe to respond, typically 10 to 20 working days. If the company refuses or does not reply within this period, escalate to the Commerce Commission or seek advice from Consumer NZ. Yafee emphasises that you do not need Magellantv's permission to pursue a refund claim if the law is on your side.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Most cancellations proceed smoothly, but a few missteps can lead to unexpected charges or confusion. Stay alert to these traps.
Assuming your cancellation was successful without confirmation
Clicking a button is not the same as confirming cancellation. Always wait for an email confirmation or take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page. If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, contact support to verify the status. Do not rely on memory or assumption; Magellantv's billing system is automated, and missing confirmation could mean your cancellation was never registered.
Forgetting to cancel through the correct platform
If you signed up via Apple App Store, cancelling via the Magellantv website will not work. You must cancel through Apple. Similarly, Google Play subscriptions require cancellation through Google Play. Cancelling in the wrong place is a common reason for continued billing. Double-check your original receipt or confirmation email to identify where you subscribed.
Not requesting a refund if you have grounds
Many consumers accept Magellantv's no-refund policy without realising they have a statutory right to a refund if the service was faulty. If the service genuinely did not work or did not meet advertised standards, do not accept a simple "no refund" response. Document the problems and invoke the Consumer Guarantees Act in writing. Yafee has observed that companies often reverse their position when consumers cite explicit consumer law rather than simply asking nicely.
Not keeping records after cancellation
If a dispute arises weeks or months later, you will need proof of cancellation and proof of payment. Save your confirmation emails, billing statements, and any correspondence with Magellantv support. Retain these records for at least 12 months after cancellation. Digital records are easy to lose; email yourself or print them and file them.

Checklist: before and after cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly and protect yourself from billing errors or disputes.
Before you cancel
- Verify where you subscribed (Magellantv website, Apple App Store, or Google Play).
- Check your account settings to confirm your current plan and next billing date.
- Take a screenshot of your account page and current subscription status.
- Save your most recent billing confirmation or payment receipt.
- If you believe you deserve a refund, gather evidence (screenshots of service failures, dates of issues).
During cancellation
- Follow the correct cancellation route for your subscription platform.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page.
- Note the date and time of your cancellation request.
- Look for a confirmation email; save it or print it.
- If requesting a refund, send a written email citing the Consumer Guarantees Act and keep a copy.
After cancellation
- Check your email for a confirmation message within 24 hours.
- Review your bank or credit card statement on your next billing date.
- If an unexpected charge appears, contact your bank and file a dispute immediately.
- Retain all confirmation emails and bank statements for 12 months.
- If Magellantv charges you after cancellation, contact support with your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
Cancellation address and final contact details
If you choose to cancel by post or need to send written correspondence regarding a refund, use Magellantv's corporate mailing address as listed in their Terms of Use. Because no dedicated New Zealand office address is publicly available, you may also contact Magellantv support via email to request the official address for cancellations or complaints. Yafee recommends sending all cancellation or refund requests via registered mail with a return receipt, ensuring you have proof of delivery.
For complaints that Magellantv does not resolve, escalate to:
- Commerce Commission (New Zealand's primary consumer regulator): www.comcom.govt.nz
- Consumer NZ (independent consumer advocacy): www.consumer.org.nz
Both organisations can advise you on your rights and, in some cases, support your claim if you have evidence that Magellantv breached the Consumer Guarantees Act.
Summary: your rights and next steps
Cancelling Magellantv is straightforward if you follow the correct platform-specific steps and document your actions. You hold statutory consumer protections under New Zealand law that protect you even if Magellantv's terms say otherwise. If the service failed to deliver what was advertised or did not function properly, you have the right to request a refund, and the law is on your side.
Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers cancel streaming services, claim refunds under consumer law, and protect themselves from billing errors. Whether you are cancelling because you no longer need the service or because Magellantv failed to meet its legal obligations, follow the steps outlined above, keep your records, and know that you have statutory rights backing your position. If Magellantv refuses to cooperate, escalate to the Commerce Commission or Consumer NZ. Your consumer protections are enforceable, and you do not have to accept a blanket refusal.
