The Fine Print*

The dataset

Every policy we track, in one file.

53 companies, one row each, free to download and free to reuse with credit.

Cancellation procedures and return policies for 53 major U.S. companies, in a single flat file. Each row records where and how you cancel or return, the stated deadline, the fees and exceptions, the company's own help page as the source, and the date we last checked it. Sources are re-checked every morning and every change is kept with its date, so the file reflects a continuously verified snapshot rather than a one-off scrape. Coverage began Oct 30, 2026.

What is in a row

Slug, company name, whether it is a subscription or a store, category, the stated return window in days and in words, where you have to go to cancel, how many steps that takes, how many catches we found, the date we last checked, the page on this site, and the company's own source page.

The flat file is deliberately simple. The full records — every step, every fee, every exception, and the dated history of what changed — are in the API.
