Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
Unless required by applicable law, Starz does not provide credit, refunds, or prorated billing for subscriptions that are cancelled. Access continues through the end of the current billing period. Starz may offer a refund in select circumstances at its discretion. A Distributor may apply its own refund rules.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
Starz may offer the opportunity to switch Subscription plans from account Settings. No free plan after cancellation is documented. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current paid Subscription period.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
You may pause your subscription by visiting Settings in your Subscription account. Pausing temporarily suspends access without canceling. No charges are incurred during the pause period, and you will not have access to streaming content or Subscription features while paused.
What happens to my account data?
Cancellation does not delete the STARZ Account. If you cancel, Starz retains your information in accordance with its Privacy Notice. California and other state residents can request deletion through the Starz Privacy Rights Manager.
