What it is

WHOOP charges membership fees on a recurring subscription basis and does not issue refunds or credits for any unused portion of a billing period after a charge has been made.

This analysis describes what Whoop's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that once a billing period commences, the membership fee for that period is non-refundable regardless of whether the user cancels or discontinues use mid-period. Users who cancel are entitled to access through the end of the paid period but receive no refund for the remaining time.

Interpretive note: The document excerpt available does not include the full billing and cancellation procedure language; EU consumer withdrawal rights and state-specific automatic renewal law compliance cannot be fully assessed from the available text.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under these terms, membership fees charged for a billing period are non-refundable; users who cancel mid-period retain access until the period ends but do not receive a prorated refund. The agreement requires users to cancel before the next billing date to avoid being charged for a subsequent period.
