For a child account, notices go to the parent or family-group administrator's registered email. A current prepaid term is not shortened by turning off renewal.

Will Nintendo Switch charge a fee or give me a refund?
Cancellation fee or remaining balance: No cancellation fee stated. Refund rule: Nintendo states that turning off automatic renewal does not provide refunds or credits. Ask the company to state the final charge and refund separately in writing; cancellation alone does not automatically create a refund.
