==~~Cancellation Difficulties~~==

==Anti-consumer practices==

DAZN proposes that you can both sign up and cancel your subscription to streaming services at any time. This is in contrast to the fact that once the 30 day trial is up, the members are kept locked into a subscription service as credit card information is required at the time of initial sign up for services. The ToS of DAZN contain a forced arbitration wherein by subscribing you wave all rights to any compensation by any class action lawsuit. (See lines '''17. Mandatory Individual Arbitration''') [https://web.archive.org/web/20240815150309/https://help.dazn.com/hc/en-us/articles/16391473315101-Terms-of-Use]

Signing up for the service is a ~~few minute~~ process. Trying to unsubscribe from the service requires you to talk ~~with~~ an in-house agent. ~~Said~~ agents appear to never be available. The only recourse ~~one~~ has to ~~keep~~ DAZN ~~from charging your card monthly~~ is to cancel all charges being put on the account from that vendor.
