Signed up in Germany? The cancel button

If you live in Germany and signed up for Nintendo Switch Online directly on its website, German law has required businesses that let you sign up online to offer a cancellation button there since July 1, 2022. If a business doesn’t offer one, you may cancel at any time without notice.

Since June 19, 2026, contracts signed on a business’s website or app can also be withdrawn during the withdrawal period with a button such as “Vertrag widerrufen” (withdraw from contract). Withdrawing undoes a contract you just signed; it is not the same as canceling.

This is general information about the law, not a statement about Nintendo Switch Online and not legal advice. For your specific case, Germany’s consumer advice centers (Verbraucherzentralen) can help.
