How Blacked works
Blacked is a premium studio site in the Vixen Media network, known for high-production scenes behind a recurring membership.

How to cancel each.
Cancelling Vixen

Cancelling Blacked
Cancel in account settings or via the billing provider; access lasts to the end of the period. Watch for network bundles renewing together.
Note that cancelling one does nothing to the other, and neither cancellation refunds the term you have already paid for — it stops the next charge. That is the practical cost of running both at once, and the reason a single fixed payment is the only version of this with no diary entry attached.
