## Cancel in a web browser

> The public cancellation page opens the account-specific flow after sign-in.

1. **Open the cancellation page** Open Weight Watchers' official membership cancellation page and sign in to the account that pays for the membership.
2. **Follow the account-specific cancellation flow** Use the cancellation or switch options shown for the membership. The same page offers 24/7 chat assistance.
3. **Keep the confirmation** Weight Watchers says it attempts to process requests within 72 hours. A 12-month Commitment Plan remains active and payable through the end of its commitment period.

> **Warning:** Current Core, Core+ and Med+ offers have 12-month commitments; stopping renewal does not erase remaining committed payments.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** Membership fees are generally non-refundable after a billing or commitment period starts. The terms list limited exceptions for certain medical reasons, qualifying relocation or Workshop closure, termination by Weight Watchers, applicable statutory cooling-off rights, and an accidental post-cancellation renewal charge when the next period was not used.
- **Pausing:** Vacation Mode can pause tracking and notifications for 1 to 14 days, but it does not pause membership billing. No billing pause or hold is documented in the pricing, cancellation, billing or membership terms.
- **Downgrading:** Weight Watchers does not document an automatic free membership after paid access ends. Its billing help page says reactivation requires signing up again.
- **Account data:** Cancellation does not itself delete the Weight Watchers account or personal information. The privacy policy says users can request deletion through Account Settings or by contacting Weight Watchers, while some information can remain where required or where it was already disclosed.
