Cancelling isn't "clicking unsubscribe" in a perfect interface: it's often a combination of delays, evidence, legacy channels (registered mail, outdated customer portals, premium-rate numbers). CiaoSub breaks this complexity into verifiable steps, with a file tracking the request's lifecycle until the debit actually stops or a dispute is documented.
Macro View
Durations and obligations vary: the diagram represents a typical sequence, not a universal legal obligation.
Six pillars of a solid case
Inspired by litigation practices and user feedback.
- Proof of contract or conditions applicable at the time of subscription.
- Exact identification of account holder and contract channel (B2C, light B2B, bank add-on).
- Calculation of notice period based on indicative text and case law—with reminder that only a professional confirms for your situation.
- Choice of channel: in-app, mail, email, portal — with confirmation saved.
- Dated Follow-ups if Provider Silence.
- Bank confirmation or statement showing the actual stop of the withdrawal.
Template library
Letters tailored to service type (digital, telecom, embedded insurance) with auto-filled variables.
From the directory
Some brands have a dedicated card: you switch to your space to finalize.
Rough draft
Each piece is dated; PDF versions kept to show file evolution.
Compliance & retention
No identity theft; reminders of prohibitions (false status, threats) in templates.
Shipment tracking
Integration of email receipts and recommendations for registered mail when necessary.
Clear Bylaws
Draft, sent, awaiting response, escalated, closed — with target SLAs for your own organization.
Examples of Variability (Non-Exhaustive)

Why No Letter Preview on Public Brand Pages
Keeps us from publishing mockups that might be copied out of context or presented as 'official'. Cancellation content lives in your secure space, with history and access tokens — reducing phishing risk and stale content wandering the SEO.
- Centralized update of templates without republishing hundreds of landing pages
- Traceability: who generated what, when
No: we structure and document; sending and tracking are your responsibility or that of a proxy you designate.
After cancellation, visit the Re-subscription page to avoid the same promotional traps. The CiaoSub history retains the original reason for the cut — helpful when a salesperson calls six months later with a 'unique' offer.
