The universal playbook for canceling any subscription service — streaming, SaaS, fitness, or otherwise — with legal protections cited. This guide applies specifically to Starz ($9.99/mo) subscribers in Colorado, citing applicable state and federal law.
Colorado's Auto-Renewal Consumer Protection (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 6-1-732) gives you specific protections when dealing with Starz subscriptions:
Penalties: Deceptive trade practice with treble damages available
Applied to Starz (Website or app) in Colorado
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.
Colorado note: Colo. Rev. Stat. § 6-1-732 requires Starz to provide an easy cancellation mechanism.
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.
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.
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.
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.
