Spotify can change, pause, or permanently remove any feature, content, or subscription plan at any time without telling you in advance and without owing you compensation. This includes removing specific songs, podcasts, or audiobooks you rely on.
If Spotify removes a feature, content library, or subscription plan you paid for, you generally have no right to a refund unless the plan is permanently discontinued (in which case only a prorated refund applies), and Spotify owes no compensation for temporary outages or content removals. This creates material financial risk for users who prepay for multi-month subscription periods.
