How to cancel Fangoria and protect your refund rights in singapore
What Fangoria is and why you might cancel
Fangoria is a horror-focused magazine that delivers print and digital content to subscribers worldwide, including Singapore. Depending on your plan, you receive quarterly print issues, full digital access, exclusive cover variants, merchandise credits, early shopping access, and entry to a private community.
You may cancel for several reasons: you no longer read the magazine regularly, you prefer free horror content available online, you want to pause during financial hardship, or you discovered the plan does not match your interests. Taking control of your subscription begins with understanding your cancellation options before you commit to a renewal.
How Fangoria subscriptions operate
Fangoria offers two primary subscription routes. You can subscribe directly through their official website, or you can purchase through third-party platforms such as the Apple App Store or Google Play. Your billing method-monthly or annual-depends on the plan you select at checkout. Print issues are shipped internationally, with additional postage calculated for Singapore at the time of purchase.
All subscriptions renew automatically unless you actively disable auto-renewal or cancel before the renewal date. This automatic renewal mechanism is the single biggest reason subscribers experience unexpected charges.
Subscription plans available through Fangoria
Fangoria currently offers a Print and Digital Annual plan and a monthly Digital plan. The annual plan includes four quarterly physical magazines plus full digital access; the monthly plan bills at a lower per-month rate but still includes print delivery to Singapore. Both plans renew automatically, making cancellation essential if you want to stop future charges.

Your consumer rights in singapore when cancelling
This section explains the legal framework that protects you as a consumer in Singapore and the specific grounds on which you can cancel or claim a refund.
How the consumer protection (Fair trading) act applies to you
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when you purchase goods or services from distance sellers-including online magazine subscriptions. Fangoria's published policy states "all sales are final" and refunds are discretionary, but this policy cannot override your statutory rights under local consumer law. If Fangoria's terms contradict mandatory consumer protections, the law prevails.
Your key protections include the right to cancel within a reasonable timeframe if you purchased the service at a distance (online or by mail) and the right to receive a refund if the goods or services are not as described. If Fangoria fails to deliver issues on schedule, sends damaged magazines, or misrepresents the subscription features, you have grounds to escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
Yafee advises all subscribers to document their interactions with Fangoria. Save emails, take screenshots of your account dashboard, and keep records of undelivered or damaged issues. This evidence strengthens your position if you need to escalate to CASE or pursue a refund claim.
When you can request a refund under singapore law
Your strongest refund claim arises when Fangoria fails to deliver the service as promised. For example, if you paid for a full year of print and digital access but received only one issue, or if your digital access never functioned, you can request a refund for the unfulfilled portion. Fangoria's own subscription FAQ notes an exception to their "all sales final" position: if they cannot resolve a subscription issue, they will refund the remaining balance.
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you a statutory right to cancel distance contracts within a reasonable period if the service was not delivered as described. If Fangoria has not satisfied this obligation, your refund claim is grounded in law, not in their discretionary policy.
Your legal position when cancelling
You have the right to cancel your Fangoria subscription at any time without penalty under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, provided you have documented your cancellation request. You are entitled to a refund of any prepaid amount that covers undelivered or unfulfilled services. If Fangoria refuses your cancellation request or denies a refund you believe is justified, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at www.case.org.sg or call 6100 0315. CASE is the official consumer dispute resolution body in Singapore and will investigate your claim at no cost to you.
How to cancel Fangoria step by step
This section walks you through each cancellation method. Choose the route that matches how you subscribed.
Cancelling a direct web subscription (the most common method)
If you subscribed directly through Fangoria's website, you cancel by email. This is the official channel Fangoria provides and creates a clear record of your cancellation request.
- Open your email client and compose a new message to [email protected].
- If you do not have this address, visit the official Fangoria website and locate the "Contact Us" or "Subscription Support" page.
- In the subject line, write: "Subscription Cancellation Request."
- In the message body, include the following information:
- Your full name
- The email address associated with your Fangoria account
- Your subscription order or account number (if available)
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect
- A brief reason for cancellation (optional but helpful)
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation and the date your subscription will end.
- Send the email and save a copy in a folder dedicated to your subscription records.
- Wait for a confirmation email from Fangoria within 2 to 5 business days.
Yafee recommends sending your cancellation email at least 10 days before your next renewal date. This buffer ensures Fangoria processes your request before they charge you again.
Cancelling via apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed to Fangoria through the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple, not directly with Fangoria.
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Tap or click your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions."
- Find "Fangoria" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap or click "Fangoria" to open the subscription details.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription."
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
Apple will send you a confirmation email shortly after. Your subscription will end on the date shown in the confirmation-typically the end of your current billing cycle. You will retain access until that date.
Cancelling via google play (Android)
If you subscribed to Fangoria through Google Play, you must cancel through Google, not directly with Fangoria.
- 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 "Fangoria" and tap it.
- Select "Cancel subscription."
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.
Google will send you a confirmation email once your cancellation is processed. Your access ends on the final day of your current billing cycle.
Cancelling by post (alternative method)
If you prefer to cancel by post or need a paper trail, you may send a cancellation request in writing to Fangoria's official mailing address. This address is derived from the official Sweepstakes Official Rules and Master Official Rules published by Fangoria Publishing, LLC:
Fangoria Publishing, LLC
[Contact address as listed in official sweepstakes rules]
In your letter, include your name, subscription email address, account number, and the effective cancellation date you request. Send the letter via registered post so you have proof of delivery. Allow 7 to 10 business days for processing.
Refund policy and what to expect after cancellation
This section explains Fangoria's refund terms and what happens to your account once you cancel.
Understanding fangoria's refund terms
Fangoria publishes a "all sales final" policy, meaning they do not offer refunds for cancelled subscriptions as a matter of discretion. However, you are entitled to a refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act if you can demonstrate that the service was not delivered as promised or if you cancel within a reasonable timeframe from the date you purchased the subscription.
If you cancel before your first issue arrives, you have a strong case for a full refund. If you cancel mid-subscription after receiving some issues, Fangoria may offer a pro-rata refund for the undelivered portion, calculated by the number of remaining issues divided by the total cost.
Requesting a refund after cancellation
Once your cancellation is confirmed, submit a separate refund request by email to [email protected]. In the email, explain why you believe you are entitled to a refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act-for example, if issues were not delivered, your digital access did not work, or you cancelled within 14 days of purchase.
Attach scans or screenshots of your proof: your original payment confirmation, emails from Fangoria regarding delivery issues, or screenshots showing that your digital access did not function. Provide your subscription account details and state the refund amount you are requesting.
Allow 10 to 15 business days for Fangoria to respond. If they decline your refund request, Yafee recommends escalating to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) with copies of all correspondence. CASE has authority to investigate and can compel refunds if Fangoria's conduct breaches consumer law.
What happens to your account after cancellation
After you cancel, Fangoria will stop charging you on your next renewal date. You will retain access to your digital subscription until the end of your current billing cycle. Fangoria does not immediately delete your account; you can log in and download any digital issues you have already received.
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, your access ends when the app store confirms the cancellation. You will not be able to download new issues, but previously downloaded copies remain on your device.
Pricing comparison and subscription tiers
Understanding the cost of each plan helps you decide whether cancellation makes financial sense or whether switching plans is a better option.
| Plan |
Billing frequency |
Approximate cost (SGD) |
Cost per issue |
Cancellation ease |
| Print and Digital Annual |
Once per year |
$60-$80 |
$15-$20 per issue |
Email or post |
| Digital monthly |
Monthly |
$8-$12 |

If you are cancelling because of cost, consider switching to the monthly Digital plan instead. The monthly option offers greater flexibility and allows you to pause without losing your account entirely.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Fangoria
Cancellation is straightforward, but small errors can delay your request or undermine a refund claim. The good news is that these mistakes are entirely preventable.
Not cancelling before your renewal date
Fangoria's automatic renewal system charges you on your renewal date unless you cancel before that date. If your renewal date is 15 June and you cancel on 16 June, you will be charged for the next cycle. Check your confirmation email or account dashboard for your exact renewal date, then cancel at least one week in advance.
Cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through those platforms, not by emailing Fangoria. Cancelling only through email while an active App Store or Google Play subscription remains will not stop your charges. The platform-not Fangoria-controls your billing.
Failing to save confirmation of cancellation
Yafee strongly advises screenshotting or saving every confirmation email you receive. If Fangoria charges you after your cancellation, you will need proof that you cancelled in time. Save emails, order confirmations, and platform screenshots in a single folder for your records.
Not requesting a refund separately
Cancellation and refund are two different actions. Cancelling your subscription stops future charges but does not automatically trigger a refund for the current or past billing cycle. You must submit a separate refund request by email, explaining the reason (undelivered issues, faulty digital access, or cancellation within 14 days of purchase) and providing supporting documentation.
After cancellation: next steps and what to do if Fangoria refuses
Your subscription is now cancelled, but you may need to follow up to secure a refund or resolve unexpected charges. This section guides you through the post-cancellation process.
Verifying your cancellation in your account
Log into your Fangoria account (or the relevant app store) and confirm that your subscription status shows "cancelled" or "inactive." The renewal date should no longer appear. If your account still shows an active subscription, contact [email protected] immediately and ask for clarification.
What to do if Fangoria charges you after cancellation
If you are charged after you have cancelled, gather your evidence immediately.
- Save screenshots of your confirmation email showing your cancellation date.
- Take a screenshot of the unexpected charge on your credit card or bank statement, including the transaction date and amount.
- Email [email protected] with the subject line "Unauthorized charge after cancellation" and attach both documents.
- Request an immediate refund of the full amount and ask them to confirm that your subscription will not be charged again.
- Allow 5 to 7 business days for a response.
- If Fangoria does not refund the charge, escalate to your bank or credit card provider and request a chargeback. Provide your cancellation confirmation and the unauthorized charge screenshot as evidence.
Escalating to the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Fangoria refuses to cancel your subscription, denies a refund you believe is justified, or continues to charge you after cancellation, you have the right to lodge a complaint with CASE. CASE is Singapore's official consumer dispute resolution authority and operates under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
To file a complaint with CASE:
- Visit www.case.org.sg or call 6100 0315 during business hours.
- Explain your issue: unauthorized charges, refusal to cancel, or failure to deliver the promised service.
- Provide all documentation: your cancellation email, confirmation screenshots, refund requests, Fangoria's responses, and copies of charges on your statement.
- CASE will investigate Fangoria at no cost to you and will attempt to mediate a resolution.
- If mediation fails, CASE can escalate your case or recommend further legal action.
CASE has authority to compel companies to refund consumer money if they have breached the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Your complaint is taken seriously, and Fangoria is required to respond to CASE's inquiries.
