How to cancel Willow TV in singapore and reclaim your money
Why you might cancel Willow TV and what it costs
Willow TV is a dedicated cricket streaming platform that broadcasts live matches, highlights, and replays from tournaments worldwide. If you subscribe in Singapore, you pay in SGD, though Willow's pricing originates in US dollars and fluctuates with exchange rates, sometimes catching subscribers off guard at renewal.
You might have signed up for exclusive cricket coverage, but circumstances change. The cricket season ends, your viewing habits shift, or you discover better value elsewhere. Perhaps you've realised the monthly SGD cost adds up faster than expected, or you simply want to reduce your streaming expenses. Whatever your reason, cancellation should be transparent and straightforward. Yafee exists to help you navigate this process without confusion or delay.
When you should cancel immediately
Cancel Willow TV without delay if you have been charged twice in a single month, if your payment method changed without your explicit consent, or if the service has failed to deliver what you paid for. These are warning signs that demand urgent action to protect your account and your money.
You should also initiate cancellation if you are experiencing persistent service outages, streaming failures, or account access problems. Under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, the service must remain "fit for purpose" throughout your subscription period. If it does not, you have the right to demand a refund or replacement.
When cancellation is optional but sensible
Consider cancelling if you no longer watch cricket regularly, prefer free-to-air coverage, or want to consolidate your streaming subscriptions. Many Singapore subscribers cancel seasonally after major tournaments end, or when they recognise the cumulative cost of multiple services strains their budget.

Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act is your legal foundation when you cancel a streaming subscription. This Act protects you from unfair contract terms, service failures, and deceptive trading practices. Understanding your rights ensures you do not accept an unfair refusal to cancel or a wrongful charge.
The cooling-off period: your statutory right to cancel
Under Singapore law, you have the right to cancel distance contracts (online subscriptions like Willow TV) within 5 business days of purchase, provided you have not used the service substantially. This cooling-off period is absolute; Willow cannot override it with restrictive terms. If you cancel within this window, you are entitled to a full refund of your subscription fee.
The 5-business-day countdown starts from the date you complete your purchase, not from the date your first access begins. Weekends and public holidays do not count as business days. If your 5-day period ends on a Saturday or public holiday in Singapore, you may cancel on the next business day without penalty.
Your legal position: If Willow TV refuses a refund within the 5-business-day cooling-off period, you have a statutory claim under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Yafee recommends you keep your purchase confirmation email and cancellation request as evidence. If Willow continues to refuse, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for formal mediation.
Service failure and your right to remedy
If Willow TV fails to deliver the service you paid for, Singapore law entitles you to remedy. Failure includes persistent streaming errors, account lockouts, unavailable content, or inability to access matches in the quality advertised. The service must remain "fit for purpose" for the duration of your subscription.
If Willow cannot fix the failure within a reasonable timeframe (typically 7 to 14 days), you may cancel and demand a refund for the unused portion of your subscription. You do not need to wait until renewal; service failure creates an immediate right to remedy.
Document every failure with screenshots, timestamps, and the content you attempted to access. This evidence is crucial if Willow disputes your refund claim or if you escalate to CASE.
Unfair contract terms and automatic renewal
Willow's Terms of Service must not contain unfair terms that disadvantage you significantly. Common unfair terms include hidden auto-renewal clauses, impossibly short refund windows, or unilateral price increases without consent. The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act voids unfair terms, even if you agreed to them.
If Willow has auto-renewed your subscription without clear, advance notice of the renewal date and amount, this constitutes an unfair practice. You may cancel immediately and claim a refund for the unauthorised renewal charge.
How to cancel Willow TV directly on the website
Cancelling directly through Willow.tv is the most direct method because you deal with Willow's support team without intermediaries like Apple or Google interfering with your refund eligibility. Willow controls the refund decision, so your cancellation request goes straight to the decision-maker.
Step 1: log into your Willow TV account
- Go to Willow.tv and enter your registered email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and reset it before proceeding.
- Check your email inbox for the reset link; if it does not arrive within 2 minutes, check your spam folder.
- Complete any two-factor authentication prompts if Willow has enabled this on your account.
- You may need to enter a code sent to your registered mobile number or email address.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings or subscription menu
- Once logged in, locate your account menu in the top right corner of the page.
- This is typically marked by your initials, profile picture, or a circular avatar icon.
- Click the menu and select "Account", "Settings", "My Profile", or "Subscriptions".
- The exact label varies, but it will be clearly visible in the dropdown menu.
- Look for a section labelled "Billing", "Subscription", or "Plan".
- This section shows your current subscription status, renewal date, and payment method.
Step 3: find and click the cancel button
- Within the subscription section, locate a button or link that says "Cancel Subscription", "Cancel Plan", or "Manage Subscription".
- If you see "Pause Subscription" instead, click it first; pausing may give you a refund option before cancellation.
- Click the cancel button.
- Willow may present a retention offer (discount, free trial extension, or partial refund) at this point.
- You are under no obligation to accept; proceed to cancellation if you are certain.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation and check for refund options
- Willow will ask you to confirm your cancellation. Select "Confirm Cancellation" or "Yes, cancel my subscription".
- Willow may ask for your reason (e.g., too expensive, not watching, found alternative). This is optional feedback; you may skip it.
- Check whether Willow offers a refund eligibility statement on the confirmation screen.
- If you are within 5 business days of purchase, the page should indicate refund eligibility.
- If you are not shown a refund option, note this and proceed to the next step.
- Keep a screenshot of the confirmation page showing the cancellation date and any refund information.
- This is your proof of cancellation; send it to your email as backup.
Step 5: check your email for a cancellation confirmation
- Within 10 minutes, check your registered email address for a confirmation email from Willow TV.
- The subject line should say "Subscription Cancelled" or "Cancellation Confirmation".
- If it does not arrive within 15 minutes, check your spam or promotions folder.
- Open the email and verify that it confirms:
- Your subscription has ended.
- The cancellation date.
- Any refund details (amount and processing timeframe).
- A reference number or ticket ID for future correspondence.
- Save or print this email; you will need it if you later need to prove cancellation to Yafee or to CASE.
Cancellation via written notice: the backup method
If Willow TV's website is unavailable, your account is locked, or you have been unable to cancel online after multiple attempts, you have the legal right to cancel by sending written notice. Singapore law recognises written cancellation as a valid method, and Willow's Terms of Service explicitly state that you may cancel by sending written notice to their registered mailing address.
Prepare your written cancellation notice
- Draft a letter (by email or post) that includes:
- Your full name and registered email address on the Willow TV account.
- Your account ID or subscription reference number (found in your confirmation email or account settings).
- A clear statement: "I hereby cancel my Willow TV subscription effective immediately."
- The date you are sending the notice.
- Your request for a refund if you are within the 5-business-day cooling-off period or if service failure justifies a claim.
- Your preferred refund method (original payment method or bank transfer details).
- Keep the letter brief and factual; do not include lengthy explanations unless you are claiming a refund due to service failure.
Send your cancellation notice to Willow TV
- Email is the fastest method. Send your notice to Willow's support email address (check their website or confirmation email for the correct address).
- Use the subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Notice - [Your Account Email]".
- Request a read receipt or delivery confirmation so you have proof of sending.
- Alternatively, if you do not have an email address or prefer written mail, post your notice via registered mail to:
- Willow TV (address details typically found in their Terms of Service or "Contact Us" page).
- Use registered or certified mail so you have a tracking number and proof of delivery.
- Keep a copy of the notice and proof of delivery (email read receipt, postal tracking number, or dated envelope) for your records.
Follow up if you do not receive confirmation
- If you do not receive a cancellation confirmation email within 5 business days, contact Willow's customer support directly.
- Provide your proof of delivery (email read receipt or postal tracking number) and ask for written confirmation that your notice was received and processed.
- If Willow fails to acknowledge or process your written cancellation, escalate to CASE with your proof of notice. This strengthens your position significantly.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not end your subscription immediately in all cases. Willow typically allows you to keep access until the end of your current billing period, even after cancellation. This is standard practice, and you should not be charged for your next renewal cycle.
Verify that no further charges occur
Monitor your bank account or payment method for 30 days after cancellation. If Willow attempts to charge you after your cancellation date, this is a breach of contract. Immediately contact your bank to dispute the charge and document the cancellation confirmation for evidence.
Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder for the date your current billing period ends. On that date, log into Willow TV to confirm your account is no longer active and no subscription is listed.
Claim a refund if you are eligible
If you cancelled within 5 business days of purchase or due to service failure, Willow should process a refund within 14 business days. Refunds are typically returned to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or digital wallet).
If 14 business days have passed and you have not received your refund, contact Willow with your cancellation confirmation and ask for a refund status update. Request a specific refund date from their support team.
If Willow refuses to refund you
- Review your cancellation confirmation to confirm you are within the 5-business-day cooling-off period or have a valid service-failure claim.
- Send a formal refund demand email to Willow, citing the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
- Include your proof of cancellation, purchase confirmation, and evidence of any service failure (screenshots, error messages, or access logs).
- Give Willow 5 business days to respond and process the refund.
- If Willow does not respond or refuses, lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at case.org.sg or call 6100 0315.
- CASE offers free mediation and can pressure Willow to comply with Singapore law.
- Provide CASE with all correspondence, proof of purchase, and your cancellation notice.
- If mediation fails, you may pursue small claims in the District Court (claims under SGD 10,000) or engage a lawyer for larger amounts.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the correct steps, but a few missteps can delay your refund or leave you vulnerable. The good news is that these mistakes are entirely preventable.
Mistake 1: cancelling through apple, google, or third-party platforms instead of Willow directly
If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Google Play, or another platform, cancelling there does not always trigger a Willow refund. Apple or Google may refund your subscription fee (if you are within 14 days), but Willow may not process the refund separately, leaving you in dispute.
Always cancel directly through Willow.tv whenever possible. This ensures Willow's support team handles your refund and has clear visibility of your cancellation request.
Mistake 2: not requesting a refund explicitly
Simply cancelling your subscription does not guarantee a refund. If you are within the 5-business-day cooling-off period or have a valid service-failure claim, you must explicitly request a refund in your cancellation notice or cancellation confirmation. State your reason (e.g., "I am within the 5-business-day cooling-off period and request a full refund").
Mistake 3: failing to keep proof of cancellation
If Willow later claims you never cancelled or attempts to charge you again, your cancellation confirmation email is your only defence. Take screenshots of the cancellation page, save the confirmation email, and back it up to cloud storage. Without this proof, Yafee cannot help you dispute a wrongful charge.
Mistake 4: not monitoring your account after cancellation
Some streaming services continue charging after cancellation due to system errors. Check your bank statement 7 to 10 days after cancellation to ensure no charge appears. If a charge does appear, dispute it with your bank immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
Mistake 5: waiting too long to cancel if you are unhappy with the service
The 5-business-day cooling-off period is fixed by law. Once it passes, your only path to a refund is proving service failure. Do not delay if you are unsure; cancel now, within the statutory window, and ask for a refund if applicable.
After cancellation: next steps and alternatives

Your refund timeline and payment processing
Willow TV's refund timeline depends on your reason for cancellation and the payment method you used. Understanding these timelines helps you know when to expect your money and when to escalate if it does not arrive.

Refunds to credit or debit cards typically take 5 to 10 business days to appear in your account after Willow processes the refund. Digital wallet refunds (Apple Pay, Google Pay) may appear within 24 hours. Bank transfers may take up to 3 business days depending on your bank.
If your refund has not arrived after the stated timeline, contact Willow's support team with your cancellation confirmation and request a status update. Ask for the exact refund date Willow processed and the reference number of the refund transaction.
If Willow TV refuses to process your cancellation or refund, or if you experience problems with their customer service, Yafee recommends escalating your complaint through the official channels listed below.
Contact Willow TV directly
Before escalating to CASE, contact Willow's customer support with your cancellation request and any refund claim. Keep records of all emails and responses. Willow typically responds to support enquiries within 2 to 5 business days.
Check Willow TV's website or your confirmation email for the current support email address. If you are unsure, visit their "Contact Us" or "Help" page.
Escalate to the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Willow refuses your cancellation or refund claim, lodge a formal complaint with CASE, the statutory consumer protection body in Singapore. CASE offers free mediation and can compel companies to comply with Singapore consumer law.
- Website: case.org.sg
- Phone: 6100 0315
- Address: 170 Clemenceau Avenue, Singapore 239922
Provide CASE with your cancellation confirmation, proof of payment, and all correspondence with Willow. CASE will contact Willow on your behalf and attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation.
Dispute a charge with your bank (chargeback)
If Willow continues to charge you after cancellation or charges you fraudulently, contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction. Provide your cancellation confirmation, bank statements, and any correspondence with Willow. Your bank can reverse the charge and investigate Willow's conduct. This process typically takes 7 to 30 days.
Summary and next steps
Cancelling Willow TV in Singapore is a straightforward process protected by the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. You have a legal right to cancel within 5 business days and claim a full refund, and you have the right to cancel immediately if Willow fails to deliver the service you paid for. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel streaming subscriptions and recover unfair charges by following clear, step-by-step procedures and understanding their statutory rights.
To cancel, log into your Willow TV account, navigate to your subscription settings, and click the cancel button. Confirm your cancellation, keep the confirmation email, and monitor your account to ensure no further charges occur. If you are entitled to a refund, request it explicitly and escalate to CASE if Willow refuses.
Document everything: your purchase confirmation, cancellation confirmation, any service-failure evidence, and all correspondence with Willow. This evidence is invaluable if you need to dispute a wrongful charge or file a complaint with CASE. Yafee recommends acting within the 5-business-day cooling-off period if you are unsure, because once this period expires, your refund options narrow significantly.
