How to cancel your Enhancv subscription and stop automatic renewals in australia
Understanding Enhancv and your cancellation options
Enhancv is an AI-powered resume and CV builder designed for Australian job seekers who want to create polished application documents quickly. The platform provides templates, design tools, content suggestions and ATS (applicant tracking system) checks to help your resume pass automated screening systems. Enhancv operates on a freemium model: you can access basic features at no cost, or upgrade to Pro for unlimited templates, advanced analytics and career coaching.
Enhancv charges monthly, quarterly or semiannual subscription fees with automatic renewal enabled by default. This means your payment method will be charged automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before that date. If you have decided Enhancv is not delivering value for your job search, or you simply want to stop the recurring charges, this guide walks you through cancellation step-by-step, grounded in your legal rights under Australian Consumer Law.
When cancellation makes practical sense
You might cancel if you have already built and downloaded your resume, the free tier now meets your needs, or the subscription cost no longer aligns with your job search timeline. Cancelling early stops all future charges without affecting your access to Pro features for the remainder of your paid period.
Why yafee guides exist
Subscription platforms sometimes obscure cancellation options to maximise customer retention. Yafee specialises in cutting through that complexity. Our mission is to provide clear, legally grounded instructions so you regain control of your spending and cancel with confidence. Yafee's approach prioritises your rights under Australian Consumer Law from the outset.

Currency and pricing variations
Enhancv publishes prices primarily in US dollars; the amounts shown above are approximate conversions at current mid-market exchange rates and are indicative only. Your actual charge will depend on live exchange rates at the time of billing and any promotional discounts applied. Always verify the exact amount on your billing statement or payment confirmation email.
Your consumer rights under australian law
The Australian Consumer Law protects you when you purchase digital services, including resume builders; understanding these rights gives you legal leverage if Enhancv resists your cancellation or refuses a refund unfairly.
What australian consumer law says about digital subscriptions
Under the Australian Consumer Law (part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010), suppliers of digital services must ensure the service is delivered as promised and is fit for purpose. If you cancel a subscription, you have an absolute right to stop incurring future charges; Enhancv must cease billing you once your cancellation request is confirmed.
Refunds for periods already paid are treated differently. If you have already been charged for a full monthly or quarterly subscription, Enhancv can legally withhold that refund unless the service is faulty, defective or was misrepresented in the product description. However, if Enhancv continues to charge you after you have cancelled, or if the company refuses to process your cancellation request, you have grounds to escalate to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
Your legal position on refunds and cancellation
You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time. Enhancv must process your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe (typically within 48 hours). You retain access to Pro features until the end of your current billing period; after that date, your account reverts to free tier status. Downloaded documents remain yours permanently. If Enhancv charges you after you have cancelled, or if the company makes cancellation deliberately difficult, report the breach to the ACCC or your state's fair trading office.
How to cancel your Enhancv subscription
Cancellation is self-service via your account dashboard and takes fewer than five minutes; follow the steps below to stop automatic renewals.
Step 1: sign in to your Enhancv account
Open your web browser and go to Enhancv's login page. Enter your email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot password?" link and follow the reset instructions sent to your email.
Step 2: navigate to your billing settings
- Once logged in, locate the account menu (usually found in the top-right corner of the dashboard).
- Click on your profile icon or username.
- Select "Settings" or "Account settings" from the dropdown.
- Look for a "Billing" or "Subscription" tab within Settings.
- Click this tab to open your billing page.
Step 3: locate and click "Cancel subscription"
On your Billing page, you will see your current plan details and renewal date. Below this information, locate the "Cancel Subscription" button or link. Click it to begin the cancellation process.
Step 4: complete the cancellation survey
Enhancv will present a brief survey asking why you are cancelling. Provide honest feedback if you wish; this step is optional but helps Enhancv improve its service. Select your reason(s) and proceed to the next screen.
Step 5: confirm your cancellation
Review the confirmation message, which will state your cancellation effective date and your final billing date. Click the "Confirm cancellation" button to finalise the request. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.
Step 6: verify cancellation in your account
Return to your Billing page and confirm that your subscription status now shows "Cancelled" or "No active subscription." If the status does not update within 2 hours, refresh your page or contact Enhancv's support team at [email protected] to confirm the cancellation was processed.
What happens after you cancel your Enhancv subscription
Cancellation is immediate, but your access rights change in stages; understanding this timeline prevents confusion.
Your access during the notice period
You retain full Pro access (all templates, ATS checks, unlimited resume versions) until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your billing cycle ends on 31 March, you have access to all Pro features until 31 March at 11:59 pm. After that date, your account automatically downgrades to the free tier.
Your account status after the billing period ends
Once your final billing period expires, your account becomes read-only. You can still view, download and export all documents you created during your Pro subscription. You cannot create new resumes or edit existing ones unless you resubscribe. The free tier limitations apply if you choose to use Enhancv again in future.
Downloading your documents before access expires
Yafee recommends you download all your resumes in PDF, Word or other formats before your billing period ends. Log in, go to your document library, and use the "Download" option for each resume. This ensures you have offline copies regardless of your account status. Your downloaded files belong to you permanently and are not affected by cancellation.
Refund eligibility and dispute resolution
Refunds for Enhancv subscriptions are limited under Australian Consumer Law, but you have clear remedies if the service is faulty or Enhancv violates your cancellation request.
When Enhancv will issue a refund
Enhancv will refund your subscription fee if the service is defective, if you were charged after you cancelled, or if the company breaches its terms of service. You are not entitled to a refund for a billing period you have already paid for, unless the service failed to deliver the promised features or malfunctioned during that period.
How to request a refund
If you believe you are entitled to a refund, email [email protected] with the subject line "Refund request" and include your account email, the date of the charge you dispute and a brief explanation (for example, "Service was unavailable during my billing period" or "I was charged after cancellation on [date]"). Enhancv's support team typically responds within 3 to 5 business days. Keep copies of your payment confirmation emails and any correspondence with Enhancv.
Escalating to the ACCC if Enhancv refuses
If Enhancv refuses to refund you and you believe the refusal breaches Australian Consumer Law, lodge a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Visit the ACCC's website (accc.gov.au), select "Make a complaint," and provide details of your dispute. The ACCC can investigate unfair contract terms and deceptive billing practices. You can also contact your state's fair trading office (Consumer Affairs Victoria, NSW Fair Trading, etc.) for local assistance.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay the process or leave you exposed to extra charges; you can prevent these easily.
Mistake 1: cancelling too close to your renewal date
If you cancel within hours of your next billing cycle, Enhancv may still charge you before your cancellation processes. To avoid this, cancel at least 2 to 3 days before your renewal date. Check your billing page for the exact renewal date and set a phone reminder 3 days before.
Mistake 2: not downloading your documents before the billing period ends
Once your account downgrades to free tier, you can still view and download your resumes, but the interface may become confusing if you have not organised your files. Download everything before your final day of Pro access.
Mistake 3: assuming cancellation will be confirmed by SMS
Enhancv sends cancellation confirmations via email only. Check your email (including spam and promotions folders) for the confirmation within 1 hour of submitting your cancellation request. If you do not see it, log back into your account and verify that your subscription status shows "Cancelled."
Mistake 4: leaving a valid payment method on file after cancellation
If you reactivate your subscription (accidentally or intentionally) and your old payment method is still saved, Enhancv will charge it immediately. If you do not plan to resubscribe, consider removing your payment details from your account 1 week after your final billing date, once you are certain cancellation is permanent.

Getting help if your cancellation is delayed or refused
Enhancv's support team is responsive, and escalation options exist if the company resists your cancellation request; Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate these disputes successfully.
Contacting Enhancv support
If your cancellation does not appear in your account within 2 hours, or if you are charged after cancelling, email [email protected] immediately. Include your account email, the date you cancelled and the date of any unexpected charges. Request a cancellation confirmation and a refund if applicable. Enhancv typically responds within 1 business day.
Escalating to the ACCC
If Enhancv does not respond to your support email within 5 business days, or if the company refuses to cancel your subscription, lodge a formal complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Yafee recommends documenting all communication, taking screenshots of your billing page and saving your confirmation emails. The ACCC can compel Enhancv to comply with Australian Consumer Law and may initiate enforcement action if a pattern of unfair cancellations is found.
Contacting your state's fair trading office
Each Australian state has a fair trading or consumer affairs office. These bodies investigate complaints about deceptive or unfair contract terms. Visit your state's website (for example, Consumer Affairs Victoria or NSW Fair Trading) and lodge a complaint if you believe Enhancv has violated your rights. Yafee recommends providing evidence of your cancellation attempt and any charges after the request date.
Summary: you have the right to cancel whenever you choose
Cancelling your Enhancv subscription is a straightforward, self-service process that takes fewer than five minutes. Under the Australian Consumer Law, you have an absolute right to cancel at any time, and Enhancv must respect that request within 48 hours. You retain Pro access until the end of your current billing period, and you can download all your documents permanently.
