Refund policy

New York Times refunds, access, and charge follow-up

Subscription fees are generally nonrefundable
The terms say no refund or credit is normally due for time remaining after cancellation, except where stated or required by law.
Additional charges after a timely cancellation are reviewable

Print combinations can have different calculations
Monthly and prepaid combined print subscriptions may be handled differently based on delivered copies and prepaid service.

Product scope

One cancellation may not cover every New York Times product

Review all active products before assuming the account is finished.

  • NYTimes digital subscriptions

    Directly billed digital subscriptions can be canceled from the NYTimes Account area.

  • The Athletic may be separate

    The current terms explicitly say canceling a New York Times subscription does not automatically cancel a separately billed Athletic subscription.

  • Home Delivery can follow different timing

    Certain print and combined subscriptions have service and refund rules that differ from digital-only access.

After cancellation
