Anti-consumer practices[edit | edit source]
Cancellation difficulties and forced arbitration[edit | edit source]
DAZN proposes that you can both sign up and cancel your subscription to streaming services at any time. Members will find, however, that once the 30-day trial has ended, they are locked into a subscription service, credit-card information was required when signing up for services.[1][2] The terms of service of DAZN contain a forced arbitration agreement wherein by subscribing you waive all rights to any compensation by any class-action lawsuit. (See lines 17. Mandatory Individual Arbitration).[3]
Signing up for the service is a short process. Trying to unsubscribe from the service requires you to talk to an in-house agent. These agents appear to never be available. The only recourse a customer has to prevent monthly charges from DAZN is to cancel all charges being put on the account from that vendor.
