Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
Outside the UK, EU, EEA and Brazil, TIDAL subscription fees are nonrefundable. Brazil has a seven-day right and the UK, EU and EEA have a 14-day right if streaming or downloading has not started. Partner refunds must be requested from the partner.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
TIDAL says the subscription can be modified at account.tidal.com. Canceling stops renewal and paid access ends after the current subscription period.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
No subscription pause option is documented in TIDAL's current subscription support and terms.
What happens to my account data?
Account deletion is permanent and separately removes playlists, favorites, listening history, profile, uploaded music and account details. Deleting a TIDAL account does not cancel third-party billing, and any remaining direct subscription period is forfeited.
Frequently asked questions
When does TIDAL cancellation take effect?
A direct cancellation takes effect after the current subscription period, so access normally remains until then.
Can TIDAL refund an Apple or Google Play purchase?
No. TIDAL directs partner-billed refund requests to the partner that processed the payment.
Can I pause TIDAL?
TIDAL does not document a subscription pause option in its current support and terms.
What refund right applies in the UK, EU or EEA?
A full refund can be available within 14 days of purchase if streaming or downloading has not started.
Does deleting TIDAL cancel partner billing?
No. Apple, Google Play and other partner subscriptions must still be canceled with the provider.
