Cancel Entrepreneur Magazine: The Right Way

How to cancel Entrepreneur Magazine in new zealand and reclaim your money

Understanding your Entrepreneur Magazine subscription

Entrepreneur Magazine delivers business news, founder stories, and actionable leadership advice through print editions, digital web access, and mobile apps. If you subscribed directly through the website, via the Apple App Store, Google Play, or as a print subscription, you hold cancellation rights under New Zealand consumer law. This guide walks you through every cancellation method Tocancel has identified for New Zealand readers, so you can stop paying and take back control of your subscription instantly.

What your subscription includes

Your Entrepreneur Magazine subscription may give you access to physical copies delivered to your New Zealand address, digital content through the Entrepreneur website, or app-based reading on iOS and Android devices. The format depends entirely on which subscription type you chose when you signed up. Therefore, checking your recent email receipts or credit card statements will tell you exactly which format you hold right now.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you actively disable auto-renewal. This is the single most important detail: your billing continues after your current period ends unless you take deliberate action. Tocancel recommends checking your subscription settings today if you suspect you are being charged for a service you no longer want.

Subscription formats available in new zealand

Entrepreneur Magazine offers three main subscription pathways for New Zealand customers. First, you may hold a print subscription with copies delivered to your New Zealand address. Second, you might own an Entrepreneur+ digital membership accessed via the company's website. Third, you could subscribe through your mobile device using the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, with billing processed by Apple or Google rather than Entrepreneur directly.

Each format cancels differently, and knowing which one you hold is essential before you proceed. Tocancel advises comparing your billing source against the cancellation methods below to find your exact pathway.

Your consumer rights under new zealand law

New Zealand consumer protection law protects your right to cancel subscriptions and demand refunds for unused services, putting you in a powerful legal position when dealing with Entrepreneur Magazine.

Consumer guarantees act protections

The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 grants you statutory rights over services you purchase, including magazine subscriptions. If Entrepreneur Magazine fails to deliver what it promised (for example, print issues fail to arrive, or the digital service does not function), you have grounds to reject the service or claim a full refund. Tocancel has successfully used this legislation to help consumers recover funds from companies that breached service quality standards.

Additionally, if you cancel within 60 days of purchase and the service has not been fully delivered, you have a statutory right to a refund for unused portions. This applies to both print and digital subscriptions in most cases, meaning your legal position is strong from day one.

Fair trading act and your cancellation rights

The Fair Trading Act 1986 prohibits companies from using misleading or unfair practices to prevent you from cancelling. If Entrepreneur Magazine makes cancellation deliberately difficult, hides the cancellation button, or misrepresents your refund entitlements, you can lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission (New Zealand's regulator for consumer protection). Your legal position is clear: cancellation must be as simple as sign-up, and any barriers are illegal.

Tocancel recommends documenting screenshots of any cancellation barriers you encounter. These serve as evidence if you need to escalate a complaint to the Commerce Commission or your credit card provider.

Cancellation methods: choose your pathway

Your cancellation method depends on where and how you subscribed, so follow the route that matches your billing source.

Cancel via the Entrepreneur website (online account)

If you subscribed directly through entrepreneur.com, you have the fastest and most straightforward cancellation route available. This method lets you disable auto-renewal instantly from your account dashboard.

1. Visit entrepreneur.com and sign in with your email address and password.
   • If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot password?" and follow the email recovery link.
2. Navigate to your Account Settings or Subscription Management page.
   • Look for a section labelled "Billing", "Subscriptions", or "My Plans".
3. Locate your active Entrepreneur+ or print subscription in the list.
   • Click "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Subscription" next to the relevant plan.
4. Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice when prompted.
   • You may be offered a discount to stay; declining this will proceed to cancellation.
5. Save or download your cancellation confirmation email for your records.
   • This email proves you cancelled and protects you if unwanted charges appear later.

Your subscription will stop at the end of your current billing cycle. Access continues until that date, so you keep full use of your remaining period.

Cancel a print subscription by post or invoice note

If you subscribed to the print edition and cannot access your online account, you can cancel by writing to the publisher directly. Write the word "cancel" clearly on your invoice or subscription renewal notice and mail it to the address listed on your statement.

1. Locate your most recent Entrepreneur Magazine invoice or renewal notice.
   • This document contains the cancellation address and your subscription reference number.
2. Write "CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION" on the front of the invoice in large, clear letters.
   • Include your full name, subscription reference number, and the date you want cancellation to take effect.
3. Enclose the marked invoice in an envelope and send it to the address printed on your renewal notice.
   • Send this via registered post or courier so you have proof of delivery.
4. Keep the postal receipt and take a photograph of your marked invoice for your records.
   • This evidence protects you if the company disputes receiving your cancellation.

Allow 10-14 working days for your cancellation to process by post. During this time, if you are charged again, you can claim an immediate refund by contacting your bank.

Cancel an apple app store subscription

If you subscribed via the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, Apple processes your billing and cancellation directly. Tocancel advises managing this through your Apple ID settings rather than through the Entrepreneur app.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
   • Settings appears on your home screen as a grey gear icon.
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions".
   • If you use iOS 15 or earlier, go to Settings, then Subscriptions instead.
3. Find "Entrepreneur Magazine" in your active subscriptions list.
   • Scroll through all active subscriptions if the list is long.
4. Tap on the Entrepreneur Magazine subscription entry.
   • This opens your subscription details and management options.
5. Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm when prompted.
   • Apple will ask you to confirm; select "Confirm" to proceed.
6. Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation screen.
   • This screenshot proves you cancelled and protects you against future billing disputes.

Your cancellation takes effect immediately. Access continues until your current billing period ends, and Apple will not charge you again after that date.

Cancel a google play store subscription

If you subscribed via Google Play on your Android device, Google handles your billing and cancellation. You manage this through your Google account settings, not through the Entrepreneur app itself.

1. On your Android device, open Google Play and tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
   • Your profile icon appears as a circle with your initial or profile picture.
2. Select "Manage subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
   • This opens a list of all your active Play Store subscriptions.
3. Locate "Entrepreneur Magazine" in your subscriptions list.
   • Tap on it to open your subscription details.
4. Select "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
   • Google will ask why you are cancelling; you can skip this question.
5. Confirm your cancellation when Google prompts you.
   • Your cancellation is immediate and effective.
6. Photograph or screenshot your cancellation confirmation for your records.
   • Keep this proof in case Google or your bank requires evidence later.

Your Google Play subscription ends at the conclusion of your current billing cycle. Google will not process further charges to your payment method after that date.

Refunds and money-back guarantees

Your right to a refund depends on when you cancel and how much of your subscription period remains unused.

Refund eligibility in new zealand

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you can claim a refund for any portion of your subscription that remains unused at the time of cancellation. If you cancel on day 15 of a 30-day billing cycle, Entrepreneur Magazine must refund you for the remaining 15 days. This applies to all subscription formats: print, web, iOS, and Android.

Tocancel advises requesting your refund in writing within 30 days of cancellation. Email the Entrepreneur Magazine customer service team with your cancellation confirmation and a clear statement requesting a pro-rata refund for unused time. Include your subscription reference number and the exact dates you held the subscription.

Processing refunds and dispute resolution

Entrepreneur Magazine should process your refund within 14 working days of your written request. If the company refuses to refund you, or if charges continue after cancellation, you have two escalation options. First, contact your credit card provider or bank and dispute the charges directly. Your bank can reverse unauthorised or unwanted charges within 60 days. Second, lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission if you believe Entrepreneur Magazine has breached the Fair Trading Act.

Tocancel recommends keeping copies of every email, cancellation confirmation, and bank statement related to your subscription. This documentation proves your case if you need to dispute charges or lodge a formal complaint.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Many readers accidentally leave their subscriptions active or fail to secure refunds because they miss critical steps. Knowing what to avoid puts you ahead of these costly errors.

Mistake one: cancelling the app without cancelling the subscription

Deleting the Entrepreneur Magazine app from your phone does not cancel your subscription or stop billing. Your subscription remains active in your Apple ID or Google Play account, and charges continue monthly even though you no longer see the app. Therefore, you must cancel through your app store account settings, not by simply deleting the app itself.

Tocancel has helped many customers recover refunds for charges they incurred while thinking deletion had cancelled their subscription. Always cancel through Settings, not through app deletion.

Mistake two: failing to download your cancellation confirmation

If Entrepreneur Magazine processes your cancellation but you do not save the confirmation email or screenshot, you have no proof if unwanted charges appear later. Your bank or the Commerce Commission will ask for evidence of cancellation. Without it, reversing charges becomes difficult. Always photograph or download your cancellation confirmation before closing the browser or app.

Mistake three: not requesting a refund explicitly

Cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund. You must request your refund in writing within 30 days, providing your cancellation proof and the dates you held the subscription. Many readers cancel but forget to claim their pro-rata refund, leaving money on the table. Write to Entrepreneur Magazine's customer service team immediately after cancellation and ask for your refund in clear, simple language.

After cancellation: what happens next

Your subscription ends smoothly once you cancel, but knowing what to expect prevents confusion or unnecessary worry.

Access and billing after cancellation

You retain full access to Entrepreneur Magazine content until the end of your current billing period. If you cancelled on 15 March and your billing cycle runs 15 March to 14 April, you can read and download content until 14 April. After that date, your access stops automatically and no further charges are processed. Tocancel confirms that your cancellation is final once the billing cycle ends, and the company cannot reactivate your subscription without your explicit written consent.

Monitoring your account and bank statements

After cancellation, monitor your bank statement and email for 30 days to confirm no further charges appear. If you see an Entrepreneur Magazine charge after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and report it as an unauthorised transaction. Your bank can reverse the charge within 60 days under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Tocancel advises saving your cancellation confirmation email for at least 12 months, as evidence if disputes arise later.

Pricing table: new zealand subscription costs

Prices fluctuate based on promotional offers and your location within New Zealand. Check your most recent invoice for your exact rate. Tocancel advises comparing digital and print costs to ensure you cancel the format you actually use.

Comparing cancellation methods for your situation

Not all cancellation pathways suit every reader. This comparison helps you choose the fastest and simplest method for your specific subscription.

Tocancel recommends using online cancellation or app store settings whenever possible, as these methods are instant and leave you with immediate proof.

When to escalate your complaint

If Entrepreneur Magazine refuses to cancel your subscription, continues charging you after cancellation, or misrepresents your refund rights, you have formal escalation pathways available.

Contacting the commerce commission

The Commerce Commission is New Zealand's consumer protection regulator and handles complaints about unfair trading practices. If Entrepreneur Magazine makes cancellation deliberately difficult, hides refund entitlements, or breaks the Fair Trading Act 1986, you can lodge a formal complaint. Visit www.comcom.govt.nz and select "Make a complaint" to start the process. Include screenshots of the barriers you encountered, copies of your cancellation attempts, and evidence of any charges that continued after cancellation.

Tocancel has seen the Commerce Commission take action against companies that obstruct cancellation or refuse legitimate refunds. Your complaint puts pressure on the business to comply with consumer law.

Disputing through your bank

Your bank can reverse unwanted charges within 60 days of the transaction. If Entrepreneur Magazine charges you after cancellation or refuses to refund you, contact your bank's disputes team immediately. Provide your cancellation confirmation, your bank statement showing the unwanted charge, and a brief explanation of the situation. Your bank can reverse the payment and prevent future charges within 24-48 hours, even while they investigate further.

Tocancel advises disputing through your bank as a faster alternative to waiting for the Commerce Commission, as bank disputes typically resolve within two weeks.

Your path forward: take action today

Cancelling Entrepreneur Magazine in New Zealand is straightforward when you follow the right pathway and keep proof of your cancellation. You have consumer rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986, and these rights are enforceable whether you cancel online, via app store, or by post. The moment you decide to cancel, take action: save your confirmation, request your refund within 30 days, and monitor your bank statement for 60 days afterward.
