The universal playbook for canceling any subscription service — streaming, SaaS, fitness, or otherwise — with legal protections cited. This guide applies specifically to Spotify ($5.99-$16.99/mo) subscribers in Fargo, North Dakota. North Dakota's Automatic Renewal Law protects you.

Your Rights in Fargo, ND

North Dakota's Automatic Renewal Law (N.D. Cent. Code § 51-37-01) gives Fargo residents specific protections when dealing with Spotify:

How to Cancel Any Subscription

Applied to Spotify (Website only (not app)) for Fargo residents

1
Find your billing method
Check whether you subscribed directly (company website), through Apple, Google, or your bank. The billing source determines WHERE you cancel — not the company's app.
2
Locate the cancellation path
Log into your account → Settings → Billing or Subscription. Under the FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule, cancellation must be as easy as signup.
3
Document your cancellation
Screenshot the cancellation confirmation screen. Note the date, time, and any confirmation number. This is your legal protection if they keep charging you.
4
Watch your next billing statement
Check your statement after the next billing date. If you see a charge after cancellation, you have grounds for a chargeback citing the date you canceled.
5
Block the merchant if needed
If the company charges you again, call your card issuer and request a merchant block. This prevents future charges even without the company's cooperation.
