## Cancel in a web browser

> Use the Hulu Account page when Hulu bills the subscription directly.

1. **Open your Hulu Account** Sign in to the Hulu Account page from a computer or mobile browser.
2. **Select Cancel** Under Your Subscription, choose Cancel. If Hulu offers a pause and you do not want it, select Continue to Cancel.
3. **Select Cancel Subscription** Confirm the cancellation. Hulu sends an email and updates the Account page after the request succeeds.

> **Warning:** Cancel before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day before the next recurring billing date to avoid another charge.

## Cancel on iPhone / iPad

> Apple billing is only available to existing legacy subscribers.

1. **Open Apple Subscriptions** For a legacy Apple-billed Hulu plan, open iPhone Settings, tap your name and tap Subscriptions.
2. **Select Hulu** Choose Hulu from the subscriptions associated with the Apple Account that paid for it.
3. **Tap Cancel Subscription** Confirm cancellation. Access continues through the current billing cycle.

## Cancel on Android

> Google Play billing is only available to existing legacy subscribers.

1. **Open Google Play subscriptions** For a legacy Google-billed Hulu plan, open subscriptions in Google Play with the paying Google Account.
2. **Manage Hulu** Select Manage for Hulu and choose Cancel subscription.
3. **Confirm the cancellation** Choose a reason, select Continue and complete the confirmation. Access continues through the current billing cycle.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** Hulu does not provide refunds or credits for partially used billing periods or annual terms, except where required by law. Hulu may provide one at its discretion, while third-party providers control their own refunds.
- **Pausing:** Eligible direct monthly subscriptions can pause for up to 12 weeks from the Account page. The pause starts on the first day of the next billing cycle and resumes automatically at the end of the chosen duration.
- **Downgrading:** Direct subscribers can select MANAGE PLAN under Your Subscription and choose another plan. Hulu's current official plan-management article does not state when a direct downgrade takes effect.
- **Account data:** Cancellation and account deletion are separate. A Hulu-billed subscription must end before deletion is processed. Hulu publishes no fixed general US retention period, and deleting Hulu does not delete the separate MyDisney account.
