How to cancel Now TV in singapore and protect your refund rights
What is Now TV and why you might want to cancel
Now TV is a subscription streaming and broadband service that provides access to TV shows, films and add-on content on a flexible, month-to-month basis. You can sign up directly through the Now TV website or via third-party app stores like the Apple App Store or Google Play. The flexibility appeals to many subscribers, but you may find yourself locked into unwanted charges or struggling to locate the cancellation option. Yafee helps thousands of Singapore consumers navigate subscription cancellations every month, and this guide will equip you with the legal framework and step-by-step process to cancel Now TV with confidence.
How Now TV subscriptions work
When you subscribe to Now TV, you select a content membership such as Entertainment, Cinema or Sports, and you can add optional upgrades like device bundles or broadband speed boosts. Your billing and cancellation process depend entirely on where you signed up. If you subscribed through the Now TV website, you must cancel there. If you used an app store, you must cancel through that platform instead. This split system is where most cancellation problems begin.
Why cancellation matters
Your subscription renews automatically by default unless you actively cancel before the next billing date. Even after you cancel online, your account may continue to charge if you signed up via a third party and did not cancel through that platform too. Understanding where you signed up and which rules apply is the first step to taking back control of your subscription and avoiding unexpected charges.
Your consumer rights in singapore
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) gives you important legal protections when you purchase digital services like Now TV. Yafee recommends you understand these rights fully before you attempt to cancel.
The 14-day cooling-off right
You have a 14-day right to change your mind from the date of purchase or delivery for most digital subscriptions. This means you can cancel within 14 days and claim a refund without penalty, provided you have not expressly agreed to immediate access and supply. Now TV's own terms acknowledge this protection. If Now TV claims you waived this right, request written evidence that you explicitly consented to immediate supply before you paid. The CPFTA places the burden of proof on the company, not on you.
Protection against unfair contract terms
If you were placed on a minimum-term plan without clear, upfront disclosure of the cancellation restrictions, you may have grounds to dispute the charges or seek a refund. The CPFTA prohibits unfair contract terms that unfairly limit your right to cancel or that hide cancellation penalties in small print. If you believe Now TV misled you about contract length or cancellation fees, document everything and escalate to the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) if the company refuses to help.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel any subscription at any time under the CPFTA, except where you have genuinely agreed to a fixed-term contract with clear prior notice. If cancellation is restricted and that restriction was not made transparent at the point of purchase, the company must refund you. If Now TV refuses, you can lodge a complaint with CASE, which will investigate at no cost to you.
Methods to cancel your Now TV subscription
You have two main cancellation routes depending on where you signed up. Yafee recommends you verify which route applies to you before you start the cancellation process.
Cancel via the Now TV website
This is the fastest and most reliable method if you signed up directly on nowtv.com.
- Open a web browser and navigate to the Now TV website (nowtv.com).
- Sign in to your account using your email address and password.
- Navigate to your account settings or "My Membership" section (the exact label may vary depending on the current interface).
- Locate the subscription you want to cancel and select the cancellation option.
- Read any confirmation message carefully and verify your cancellation date.
- Check whether you are on a minimum-term plan; if you are, you may not be able to cancel until the term ends.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation for your records.
- Confirm that the cancellation has been processed and that auto-renewal has stopped.
- Your access will continue until the end of your current paid period, after which your account will close.
Cancel via third-party app stores
If you signed up through the Apple App Store, Google Play or another third-party platform, you must cancel through that same platform. Cancelling on the Now TV website will not stop charges from the app store.
- Open the app store where you subscribed (Apple App Store, Google Play or Amazon Appstore).
- On Apple devices, go to Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Now TV and tap Cancel Subscription.
- On Android devices, open Google Play, go to your account, select Subscriptions, find Now TV and tap Cancel.
- Confirm the cancellation and note the effective cancellation date.
- Verify that your billing details no longer show a pending charge for Now TV.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation from the app store.
Cancel by post
If you experience technical difficulties or prefer a paper trail, you can cancel by post. Send a written cancellation request to the following address:
Now TV Customer Service
PO Box 5000
Bristol
BS99 7XQ
United Kingdom
Include your full name, account email address and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect. Use registered post or courier to ensure delivery is confirmed. Allow 10 business days for processing after the company receives your letter.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not mean immediate access loss; you retain your subscription until the end of your current billing cycle. Yafee recommends you confirm the following within 48 hours of cancellation.
Access duration after cancellation
You continue to access Now TV content until the last day of your paid period. If you paid on the 15th of each month and cancelled on the 20th, you retain access until the end of that calendar month. After that date, your account closes and you lose access to all content.
Refunds and credits
Now TV does not refund unused portions of your subscription unless you fall within the 14-day cooling-off period or you can demonstrate the company failed to disclose cancellation terms clearly. If you cancel within 14 days of purchase, request a refund immediately in writing, citing the CPFTA. If the company refuses, escalate to CASE with copies of your purchase confirmation and cancellation request.
Stopping auto-renewal
Your most critical task is to confirm that auto-renewal has stopped. Log back into your account 2 days after cancellation and verify that no future payment is scheduled. If a payment is still scheduled, contact Now TV support immediately and request written confirmation that auto-renewal has been disabled. Take screenshots as evidence.
Pricing and subscription options
Understanding what you are paying for helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice. The following table shows typical Now TV subscription tiers available in Singapore.
| Subscription type |

| Broadband add-on (premium) |
$79.99 |
300 Mbps fixed-line broadband |
12-month minimum |
If you subscribed to a broadband package, you face a 12-month minimum-term commitment. Cancelling before that date may incur an early termination fee equivalent to the remaining monthly charges. Check your contract or contact Now TV to confirm whether you are locked into a minimum term.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward once you know the process, but small oversights can lead to continued charges and frustration. Yafee has identified the most frequent errors subscribers make, and you can avoid all of them.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place
If you signed up via the Apple App Store and you cancel only on the Now TV website, your subscription will continue through Apple and you will continue to be charged. You must cancel through the platform where you signed up, not the other way around. Check your payment method and trace backwards to identify where the charge originates.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation means immediate access loss
Many subscribers believe that clicking cancel means they lose access immediately. This is not true. Your access continues until the end of your paid period. However, auto-renewal stops, meaning you will not be charged again after that date. Do not delete the app or unsubscribe again; you will simply waste your remaining paid access.
Mistake 3: failing to check for auto-renewal after cancellation
The most costly mistake is cancelling, then assuming the matter is closed. Log back into your account 48 hours later and confirm that no future payment is scheduled. If a payment is still showing, contact Now TV support immediately and escalate to CASE if the company does not remove it within 5 business days.
Mistake 4: ignoring the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 days of purchase, you have a statutory right to a refund under the CPFTA. Do not accept a credit or a promise of "next month free"; demand a refund to your original payment method. If the company refuses, file a complaint with CASE, which will support your claim at no cost.

How to request a refund from Now TV
If you are eligible for a refund under the 14-day cooling-off period or because the company failed to disclose cancellation terms, Yafee recommends you follow this step-by-step process.
- Gather your evidence: your purchase confirmation email, cancellation request and any screenshots showing auto-renewal was charged.
- Contact Now TV support in writing (email is preferred so you have a record) and state clearly: "I am requesting a refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act section [14-day cooling-off period or unfair term violation]."
- Include your account details, the date you purchased the subscription and the reason for the refund request.
- Give the company 14 days to respond and process the refund.
- If they refuse without valid reason, move to the next step.
- If they do not respond, escalate after 14 days have passed.
- Lodge a complaint with the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) by visiting their website (case.org.sg) or calling 6100 0315.
- Provide CASE with copies of all correspondence, your contract and the refund evidence. CASE will investigate at no cost to you.
