Frequently asked questions
Cancel Fortune: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Fortune subscription in singapore and protect your rights
Understanding Fortune and why cancellation matters
Fortune is a global business news publication delivering investigative reporting, market analysis, and executive profiles across digital, print, and mobile platforms. If you subscribe in Singapore, you likely selected one of three formats: digital-only access, print plus digital, or an in-app subscription billed through Apple or Google. Each subscription type follows a distinct cancellation pathway and billing cycle, and understanding which one you hold is essential before you proceed.
Subscribers cancel for legitimate reasons: budget constraints, overlapping news subscriptions, or a shift in reading priorities. Whatever prompted your decision, Yafee has compiled this comprehensive guide to walk you through the exact cancellation steps, legal protections under Singapore law, and recovery options if the company resists your request. You deserve clarity and control over your money-and the law supports you.
Subscription formats available in singapore
Fortune operates multiple subscription channels in Singapore, each with its own renewal rules and cancellation process. Your subscription may route through Fortune's website (digital-only or print bundles), Apple's App Store, Google Play, or a regional distribution partner. This fragmentation means one cancellation method does not fit all customers.
Identifying your subscription source is your first task. Log into your email account and search for the most recent Fortune billing receipt or renewal notice. The sender's address and payment processor will tell you which cancellation channel to use.
Key subscription details
| Subscription element | Details for Singapore subscribers |
|---|---|
| Available formats | Digital-only, print, print plus digital, in-app (iOS/Android) |
| Billing frequency | Monthly or annual; app subscriptions vary by store policy |
| Auto-renewal status | All plans renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date |
| Access end date | Cancellation stops future charges; access continues until term expiry |
| Refund policy | Digital subscriptions non-refundable; exceptions apply for service failure or misleading terms |
| Company address (Singapore) | 53 Cantonment Road, #02-00, Singapore 089753 |
Your consumer rights in singapore under the law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act is the legal foundation of your right to cancel, refund, and fair treatment. This statute protects you even when a company's standard terms claim subscriptions are "non-refundable."
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act protects
Under this Act, you have statutory rights to a refund or remedy if Fortune's service is faulty, fails to match its description, or is unfit for purpose. A "non-refundable" clause in Fortune's terms and conditions does not override your consumer rights. If the service stops working, content delivery fails, or you were misled about what you would receive, you can demand redress regardless of what the small print says.
Furthermore, if you cancel within a reasonable timeframe after purchase-typically within 14 days for distance contracts (such as online subscriptions)-you may have cooling-off rights under common law fairness principles, even if Fortune does not explicitly offer this. Courts in Singapore recognise that balance between consumer and business obligations is fundamental.
Your legal position: If Fortune refuses to cancel or claims you are locked in, cite the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and your right to withdraw from a distance contract within a reasonable period. Document your cancellation request in writing (email counts as written proof). Keep all receipts and communication with Fortune.
When to escalate to the consumers association of singapore
If Fortune ignores your cancellation request, denies a refund without valid cause, or makes the process deliberately obstructive, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE mediates disputes, investigates complaints, and can compel Fortune to comply with fair trading obligations. You do not need a lawyer to contact them, and CASE's mediation is free.
CASE contact details: You can lodge a complaint online at case.org.sg or call their hotline. Provide your subscription details, cancellation request date, and evidence of Fortune's refusal.
How to cancel your Fortune subscription step by step
Your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed and how you pay. Follow the pathway that matches your subscription source.
Step 1: locate your subscription source
Search your email for recent Fortune invoices or renewal notices. The sender address and payment method will confirm whether you subscribed through Fortune's website, Apple, Google, or a partner retailer. This is the channel you must use to cancel-cross-channel cancellation requests are often ignored.
- Website subscription: Look for emails from "Fortune" or "[email protected]"
- Apple subscription: Emails may reference "App Store" or an Apple ID
- Google Play subscription: Look for Gmail notifications from "Google Play"
Step 2: cancel a Fortune website subscription (digital or print)
- Visit fortune.com and log into your account using your email and password.
- Navigate to "Account" or "Manage Subscription" (usually in the top menu under your profile).
- Select "Billing" or "Subscription" and review your active plan.
- Click "Cancel Subscription" or "Pause Subscription" (do not confuse pause with cancellation).
- Fortune may ask why you are leaving. This is optional; you may skip this step.
- Confirm cancellation. You will receive an email confirmation immediately.
- Verify the email states that future charges have stopped and that access ends on the renewal date.
If you cannot access your account online, email Fortune's customer service at the address listed on your invoice and state: "I request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately. Please confirm in writing." Include your account email and order number. Save their response as proof.
Step 3: cancel an apple app store subscription
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top, then "Subscriptions."
- Find Fortune in the list and select it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- Apple will email you a cancellation confirmation. Your access continues until the renewal date.
If you subscribed on a Mac or through iTunes, open the App Store, click your account icon, select "Subscriptions," and follow the same steps.
Step 4: cancel a google play subscription
- On your Android device, open Google Play Store.
- Tap your profile icon (top right) and select "Payments and subscriptions."
- Tap "Subscriptions" and choose Fortune.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm the cancellation date.
- Google will send a confirmation email. Your access continues until the billing date.
Alternatively, log into play.google.com on a computer, navigate to "Subscriptions," find Fortune, and click "Cancel" from the menu.
Step 5: if cancellation fails online, cancel by mail
If Fortune's website does not process your cancellation or you receive an error message, write to them directly. In accordance with consumer protection law, Fortune must respond to written cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe (typically 7-14 days in Singapore).
Send a letter or email to Fortune's registered office:
Fortune Magazine Singapore
53 Cantonment Road, #02-00
Singapore 089753
In your letter, include:
- Your full name and the email address on your subscription account
- Your subscription order number (from your invoice)
- The statement: "I formally request cancellation of my Fortune subscription, effective immediately. Please confirm in writing and cease all future charges."
- A copy of your most recent invoice
- Your preferred refund method (credit card, bank transfer, or store credit)
Send this letter via registered mail or email (to ensure proof of delivery). Keep a copy for your records. Yafee recommends sending by registered post so you have a delivery receipt.
Understanding refunds and billing timelines
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and whether Fortune has breached its obligations to you.
Non-refundable policy and your exceptions
Fortune's standard policy classifies digital subscriptions as non-refundable. However, this policy does not apply if:
- Fortune failed to deliver the service (server outages lasting multiple days, missing content, broken app functionality)
- You were misled about the service in the marketing materials or at purchase
- You cancel within 14 days of purchase and have not significantly used the service (cooling-off right)
- Fortune double-charged you or processed an error on your payment method
If any of these circumstances apply, you have a valid refund claim despite the "non-refundable" label. Document the issue (screenshots of error messages, email complaints to Fortune, or the date you discovered the problem) and reference the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act in your refund request.
Timeline for cancellation and billing
Cancellation takes effect on your next renewal date, not immediately. For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your subscription renews on 30 March, you will be charged again on 30 March. After that charge, no further charges will occur. Request cancellation at least 7 days before your renewal date to avoid an unwanted charge.
Check your subscription details to confirm your renewal date before cancelling. If you are charged after cancellation, contact Fortune and demand an immediate refund of the erroneous charge. This is a billing error, not a policy exception, and Fortune must reverse it.
| Cancellation scenario | Your refund entitlement |
|---|---|
| Cancelled before renewal date | No refund; access continues until expiry |
| Cancelled after renewal (charged this month) | Demand refund as billing error within 30 days |
| Service failure or misleading terms | Full refund of the affected period |
| Cancelled within 14 days of purchase, minimal use | Full refund under cooling-off rights |
| Double charge or system error | Immediate refund of duplicate charge |
| App subscription (Apple/Google) cancelled on time | No refund; access ends at next billing date |
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is straightforward once processed, but several details require your attention to avoid confusion or unwanted charges later.
Access and content after cancellation
After you cancel, your access to Fortune content continues until the end of your current billing period. If you cancel on 10 April and your subscription expires on 30 April, you can read articles and use the app until 30 April. On 1 May, your login will stop working and you will see a message to resubscribe.
Download or save any articles you wish to keep before the expiry date. Fortune does not retain your saved articles or preferences after your account closes.
Confirmation and record-keeping
After cancellation, you will receive an email confirmation from Fortune (or Apple/Google, depending on your subscription type). This email is your proof of cancellation. Save it indefinitely. If Fortune charges you again after cancellation, this email is your evidence that you cancelled on time.
Yafee advises screenshotting both the cancellation confirmation email and your account page showing "No Active Subscriptions" or "Cancelled." Store these files securely; they are your insurance against billing disputes.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancellation is usually smooth, but a few preventable errors can leave you trapped in recurring charges or facing confusing customer service interactions.
Mistake 1: confusing pause with cancellation
Fortune and most apps offer a "Pause Subscription" option, which temporarily stops charges but keeps your account active. When you pause, you are not cancelling. The subscription resumes automatically after 1-3 months, and you are charged again. If you intend to leave permanently, click "Cancel," not "Pause."
Mistake 2: cancelling on the app instead of the website (or vice versa)
If you subscribed through fortune.com, you must cancel through fortune.com. If you subscribed via Apple, you must cancel through your Apple account settings. Cancelling through the wrong channel is often ignored, and Fortune may charge you again. Verify your subscription source before taking action.
Mistake 3: failing to confirm the cancellation deadline
Fortune processes cancellations only if you request them before your renewal date. If you cancel after the renewal date has passed, your cancellation is typically queued for the next billing cycle, meaning you will be charged one more time. Check your renewal date and cancel at least 7 days in advance.
Mistake 4: not retaining written proof
Online cancellations are instantaneous, but customer service requests by email can be disputed later. Always ask Fortune for written confirmation and keep the response. If customer service later claims you never cancelled, this email proves you did. A cancelled subscription without proof is not a cancelled subscription in a billing dispute.
Pricing and subscription options summary
Understanding what you are paying for clarifies whether cancellation aligns with your budget and needs.
| Subscription plan | Frequency | Approx. SGD price | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital-only monthly | Monthly auto-renew | $15-19 | Website and app access, ad-light experience |
| Digital-only annual | Annual auto-renew | $120-150 | Website and app access, ad-light experience, best value |
| Print plus digital monthly | Monthly auto-renew | $28-35 | Print edition (post to Singapore address) plus digital access |
| Print plus digital annual | Annual auto-renew | $250-320 | Print edition (post to Singapore address) plus digital access |
| App-only (via Apple/Google) | Varies by app store | $12-20 | App access only, subject to App Store terms |
| Print only | Monthly or annual | $18-24/month | Print edition only, no digital access |
Review your decision: when to keep or cancel
Before submitting your cancellation request, assess whether cancellation is truly in your interest or whether adjusting your plan might better suit your needs.
Reasons to cancel Fortune
- You do not read Fortune regularly (fewer than 2-3 articles per week)
- You have overlapping news subscriptions covering the same content (Bloomberg, Financial Times, The Economist)
- The annual cost (SGD 120-320) strains your discretionary budget
- You prefer free alternatives (Reuters, CNBC, Yahoo Finance) for the news you need
- Fortune's content no longer aligns with your professional or personal interests
Reasons to keep Fortune
- You rely on Fortune's investigative journalism for your work or research
- You use the app daily and enjoy the ad-free experience
- The annual plan costs SGD 120-150, which is less than SGD 15 per month-an affordable habit
- You value Fortune's executive profiles and market analysis above competitor publications
- You are within the first 14 days and can request a refund if the service does not match expectations
Steps to take if Fortune refuses to cancel
Refusal to cancel is rare but can happen if customer service misunderstands your request or if billing disputes complicate the account. Escalation is straightforward under Singapore law.
Escalation pathway
- Send a written cancellation request (email or registered post) if you have not already. Include: your account email, order number, and the statement "I formally request cancellation effective immediately."
- Wait 7 days for a response. If no response, send a second email marked "URGENT: Non-response to Cancellation Request."
- If Fortune still refuses, file a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at case.org.sg. Provide all email correspondence and invoices.
- CASE will investigate and may compel Fortune to honour your cancellation or issue a refund. CASE intervention typically resolves disputes within 30 days.
- If CASE mediation fails, you may pursue a civil claim in the Subordinate Courts for the refund amount and costs under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
You do not need a lawyer for steps 1-4. CASE's mediation is free and effective. Yafee recommends following this escalation sequence before considering legal action, as most disputes resolve at the CASE stage.
