# Cancel a Mandate

PUT https://api.sandbox.mangopay.com/v2.01/{ClientId}/mandates/{MandateId}/cancel

**Warning – Call requires `Content-Length` adjustment**

For this call to succeed, you need to define the header `Content-Length` to `0`.

**Note – Mandate must be `ACTIVE` or `SUBMITTED`**

A mandate can only be canceled if its `Status` is `ACTIVE` or `SUBMITTED`. Once canceled, its status changes to `FAILED`.
