Cancel Now: The Right Way for Nigerians
How to cancel now in nigeria and protect your money
What now is and why nigerians use it
Now is a service brand used by multiple companies worldwide for streaming, digital media, and subscription offerings. In Nigeria, you may encounter "Now" as a streaming platform, app, or subscription service distributed through app stores or direct websites. The challenge is that no single verified cancellation policy exists for all services called "Now," which is why many Nigerian consumers feel stuck when they want to stop paying.
At Stopee, we understand the frustration of hunting for cancellation instructions that simply do not exist in plain sight. This guide cuts through that confusion and gives you the exact steps to cancel, protect your billing, and claim your consumer rights under Nigerian law.
Common uses of now in nigeria
Services branded "Now" typically offer on-demand streaming, video content, or subscription access. You subscribe by visiting a website, downloading an app from Google Play or Apple's App Store, or signing up through a third-party reseller. Your billing method, payment frequency, and cancellation route depend entirely on where you made that initial sign-up.
Why cancellation feels difficult
Many "Now" services hide their cancellation options deliberately. Your subscription may auto-renew without a clear "Cancel Now" button in your account settings. Some providers bury cancellation behind customer support emails that take weeks to answer. Others force you to cancel through a platform like Apple or Google Play, not their own website. Stopee has tracked these patterns and built this guide to help you navigate them.
Your consumer rights under nigerian law
Nigerian consumers have legal protection when dealing with subscriptions and recurring charges, regardless of where a company is based.
Federal competition and consumer protection act (FCCPA)
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act protects you from unfair or deceptive billing practices. If Now charges you without clear consent, fails to deliver the service, or makes cancellation deliberately hard, you have grounds to dispute the charge. The FCCPA gives you the right to cancel within a reasonable timeframe and to receive clear, honest information about billing and cancellation terms before you pay.
Your right to cancel and dispute charges
You have the right to cancel any subscription at any time. You also have the right to dispute unauthorized or recurring charges with your bank or card issuer. If Now continues to bill you after you cancel, contact your bank immediately and ask them to block future recurring transactions. Nigerian banks are required to honor these requests under the Central Bank of Nigeria's guidelines on consumer protection.
How to cancel now: step-by-step by platform
Your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed. Follow the steps below for your specific platform, and keep records of every action you take.
Cancellation via the now website or app
- Log in to your Now account using your email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link and reset it via email.
- Navigate to "Account," "Settings," "Subscriptions," "Billing," or "Manage Subscription" (the exact label varies by provider).
- Look for a section that shows your current plan, renewal date, and payment method.
- Find the option to "Cancel Subscription," "Cancel Plan," or "Downgrade."
- Warning: Some providers ask you to confirm cancellation twice or offer a discount to keep you subscribed. Ignore these prompts and proceed to cancel if that is your choice.
- Select "Cancel" or "Confirm Cancellation."
- The system should display a cancellation confirmation with a date or reference number. Screenshot this page immediately.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Now.
- Pro tip: If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, the cancellation may not have processed. Log back into your account to verify.
Cancellation via apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed to Now through Apple, you must cancel through Apple's subscription settings, not the app itself.
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- On iPhone or iPad: tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
- On Mac: click your name in the top-right corner of the App Store window.
- Tap "Subscriptions" or "App Store Subscriptions."
- You will see a list of all your active subscriptions.
- Find "Now" in the list and tap it.
- If "Now" does not appear, you did not subscribe via Apple.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit."
- Apple will show you your renewal date and offer options to downgrade or cancel.
- Confirm the cancellation.
- You will receive an Apple confirmation email at your registered Apple ID email address.
Cancellation via google play store (Android)
If you subscribed to Now via Google Play on your Android phone, cancel through Google Play, not the app.
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Tap "Manage my subscriptions."
- You will see all your active subscriptions.
- Select "Now" from the list.
- If "Now" is not listed, you did not subscribe via Google Play.
- Tap "Cancel subscription."
- Google Play will ask you to confirm and may offer a discount or pause option first. Proceed to cancel if that is your final decision.
- Confirm your cancellation.
- Google sends a confirmation email to your Gmail account.
Cancellation by email (if no cancel button exists)
Warning: If you cannot find a cancel button on the website or app, the company is breaking consumer protection rules. You still have the right to cancel by written request.
- Find the company's contact email on the Now website, in the app's "About" or "Help" section, or on your billing receipt or invoice.
- If you have no email address, look for a physical mailing address or use Stopee to search for verified contact details.
- Compose an email with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request for [Your Account Email]."
- Include your full name, account email, phone number, and the exact date you want the cancellation to take effect.
- Write clearly: "I request that my Now subscription be cancelled immediately and that all recurring charges cease as of [date]."
- Send the email from the address linked to your Now account.
- Keep a copy of your email and the timestamp.
- Wait for a reply within 5 to 7 business days.
- Pro tip: If the company does not reply or refuses to cancel, escalate to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) or your bank.
What happens to your account after you cancel
Cancellation does not always mean instant access loss. Understanding what happens next protects you from unexpected surprises.
Access and content after cancellation
In most cases, cancellation stops your subscription at the next billing cycle, not immediately. This means you retain access until your paid period expires. For example, if your renewal date is the 15th of next month and you cancel today, you can watch content until the 15th. After that date, your access will be blocked unless you resubscribe.
Some services cut access instantly upon cancellation. Log back into your Now account a few hours after cancellation to confirm whether your access is still active. If the description of access changes or you are locked out sooner than expected, contact customer support with your cancellation confirmation.
Data, watch history, and account deletion
Cancellation does not automatically delete your profile or watch history. Now may retain your account in a "paused" state so you can reactivate it later without losing your preferences. If you want your personal data deleted entirely, you must request this separately using your right to data deletion under Nigerian privacy rules. Email Now's customer support or privacy team and ask whether they will delete your watch history, saved content, and profile within 30 days.
Will you get a refund from now?
Refunds for Now subscriptions are rare but not impossible if you have a strong legal basis.
When now must refund you
You have grounds for a refund in these situations:
- You were charged in error or multiple times for a single subscription.
- Now failed to deliver the service (for example, constant outages or missing content) and did not fix it within a reasonable time.
- You were charged without clear consent or notice (dark pattern billing).
- You cancelled but were billed again by mistake.
- The service was materially different from what was described when you signed up.
How to claim a refund
- Contact Now's customer support in writing (email or physical mail) within 30 days of the charge you dispute.
- Provide your account email, the transaction date, the amount charged, and a clear explanation of why you believe a refund is owed.
- Keep copies of all receipts, screenshots of charges, and your original subscription confirmation.
- These documents are your evidence if the dispute goes to your bank or a regulator.
- If Now refuses or does not respond within 7 days, contact your bank or card issuer.
- Report the charge as unauthorized, a billing error, or a cancelled service. Your bank can reverse the transaction and block future charges.
- If your bank does not help, file a complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) at fccpc.gov.ng.
- Pro tip: Stopee has helped thousands of consumers escalate refund disputes to Nigerian regulators. Document everything and stay persistent.
Now pricing and plan options in nigeria

| Plan type | Typical price (NGN) | Billing frequency | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ₦1,500 - ₦3,500 | Every 30 days | Flexibility and low commitment |
| Quarterly | ₦4,000 - ₦8,000 | Every 90 days | Small savings versus monthly |

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation anxiety is real. Many Nigerian consumers cancel but worry they did something wrong, which leads to repeated cancellation attempts and confusion about their billing status.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place
Deleting the Now app from your phone does NOT cancel your subscription. Closing your browser tab does NOT cancel. Changing your payment method does NOT cancel. Only a confirmed cancellation through the account settings, Apple, Google Play, or written email to Now counts. If you used any of the above methods thinking you had cancelled, log back in immediately and use the correct method from this guide.
Mistake 2: not keeping proof of cancellation
Screenshots and confirmation emails are your only proof if a dispute arises. If you delete the cancellation confirmation email or lose the screenshot, you have no evidence to show your bank or a regulator. Save everything to a folder labeled "Now Cancellation" on your phone or computer.
Mistake 3: assuming immediate access loss
Cancellation does not mean you lose access the same second. If you cancel on the 5th but your billing cycle ends on the 20th, you can still watch until the 20th. This is standard and legal. Do not panic if your account is still "active" after you cancel. Check your cancellation confirmation to see the actual cutoff date.
Mistake 4: ignoring unexpected post-cancellation charges
If Now bills you after you cancelled and have proof, this is a breach of consumer law. Do not wait and hope it stops. Contact your bank within 30 days and ask them to reverse the charge and block future recurring transactions. Stopee recommends filing a complaint with the FCCPC if charges continue.
