How to cancel Motion Array from australia in 4 steps and reclaim your subscription fee
What Motion Array is and why you might cancel
Motion Array is a subscription-based digital asset marketplace that grants you unlimited downloads of video templates, motion graphics, stock footage, music, sound effects, images and editing plugins. The service operates on tiered plans-ranging from personal to team and business tiers-with monthly or annual billing options. Depending on your plan tier, you also receive AI voiceover credits and editing extensions. A critical feature: Motion Array grants lifetime access to assets you download while your subscription remains active, a detail that matters when you decide to cancel.
You might cancel Motion Array because you've completed your project, the monthly cost no longer aligns with your budget, you've found a cheaper alternative, or you're dissatisfied with asset quality or platform performance. Whatever your reason, Yafee has built this guide to walk you through the cancellation process with precision, ensuring you don't lose money or access to work you've already paid for.
When cancellation makes financial sense
Cancel Motion Array if you're paying for features you no longer use or if your workflow has shifted to free tools. Motion Array costs between AUD $15 and AUD $49 per month depending on your plan, so a two-month cancellation saves you between AUD $30 and AUD $98. To gauge whether you're getting value, track how many assets you've downloaded in the past 30 days. If fewer than five downloads appear in your history, you're likely overpaying for your creative needs.
Motion array's refund terms you must understand before you cancel
Motion Array enforces a 14-day refund window from purchase or renewal, but only if you haven't downloaded or exported any assets during that period. Once you download content, your refund eligibility typically expires. This distinction is critical: you cannot download an entire asset library, then request your money back. Understanding this policy upfront helps you make an informed cancellation decision and prevents disputes with support staff.
Your rights as an australian consumer when you cancel Motion Array
Australian Consumer Law protects you when you cancel Motion Array, even though the company is overseas-based and operates a digital service.
Australian consumer law protections for digital subscriptions
The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) grants you the right to a refund if Motion Array fails to deliver the service with acceptable quality, fit for purpose, or as described. If Motion Array's platform experiences extended downtime, assets fail to download correctly, or the service doesn't match its promotional claims, you can dispute the charge through your bank or credit card provider. You need no permission from Motion Array to do this; the law stands behind you.
You also possess statutory cooling-off rights for digital products purchased online. Although Motion Array's 14-day refund window aligns with these statutory protections, the ACL gives you additional grounds to dispute a charge if the company breaches its service agreement. If Motion Array charges you after you've cancelled or continues to bill your card by mistake, contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction as unauthorised or as a billing error. Most Australian banks reverse such charges within 5 to 10 business days.
When to escalate a cancellation dispute with the ACCC
If Motion Array refuses to refund you or stop charging your card after cancellation, contact the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). You can lodge a complaint at scamwatch.gov.au, and the ACCC will investigate if the company engages in misleading or deceptive conduct. Yafee recommends documenting every email and taking screenshots of your account before you escalate; timestamps and evidence matter when regulators review your case.
Your legal position and what it means for cancellation
Under Australian Consumer Law, you have the right to cancel Motion Array at any time. The company cannot lock you into a contract you cannot exit. If you cancel within 14 days of a charge and have not downloaded assets, Motion Array must refund your payment in full. If you cancel after 14 days or have downloaded content, your refund may be subject to Motion Array's terms, but you retain the right to cease payment immediately by cancelling your subscription in your account settings.
If Motion Array continues to charge you after you've cancelled and submitted a cancellation request, this constitutes an unauthorised charge under the ACL. Your bank must treat this as a billing dispute and reverse the transaction. In practice, this means you are protected both by contract law and by banking law; Motion Array cannot hold you to a subscription you've actively cancelled.
How to cancel Motion Array from australia in 4 procedural steps
Motion Array offers one primary cancellation route: through your online account dashboard.
Step 1: log in to your Motion Array account
Navigate to the Motion Array website and log in using your registered email address and password. If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it via email. Ensure you access the account tied to the subscription you wish to cancel; if you manage multiple accounts, verify you're in the correct one before proceeding.
Step 2: navigate to plan and billing settings
Once logged in, locate the account menu (typically a profile icon or "My Account" link in the upper right corner). Select "My Account" or "Account Settings," then find the "Plan and Billing" or "Billing" tab. This section displays your current plan tier, billing cycle, next renewal date, and payment method on file.
Step 3: access your renewal settings and downgrade or cancel
In the Plan and Billing section, look for an option labelled "Change Plan," "Manage Plan," or "Renewal Settings." Click this button. Motion Array will present three options: upgrade to a higher plan, downgrade to a lower plan, or cancel your subscription entirely. Select the cancellation option. The system will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may offer a discount to retain your subscription; you can decline this offer and proceed with cancellation.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation and save your confirmation details
Motion Array will display a cancellation confirmation screen with your cancellation date and refund eligibility. Read this screen carefully. If you qualify for a refund (you cancelled within 14 days and have not downloaded assets), this screen will state it clearly. Screenshot or download this confirmation and save it to your records. Check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation email from Motion Array within 5 to 10 minutes; if you don't receive one, log back into your account and confirm the cancellation status displays as "Cancelled" or "Pending Cancellation."

If you're cancelling because the monthly cost is too high, consider downgrading to the Starter plan (AUD $15 per month) before cancelling entirely. This allows you to retain access to Motion Array's core features without paying for premium tools you may not use. Conversely, if you downgraded six months ago and no longer use the service, cancellation is the right choice.
What happens to your assets and access after you cancel Motion Array
Cancellation doesn't mean you lose everything you've downloaded. This section clarifies what you retain and what you lose.
Assets you keep after cancellation
Any assets you downloaded and exported to your computer before cancellation remain yours forever. You can continue to use video templates, stock footage, music tracks, and images in your projects indefinitely, even after your subscription ends. Motion Array's licensing terms permit you to use downloaded content in personal and commercial projects without additional payment once you've downloaded it.
Access you lose after cancellation
After your subscription ends, you lose access to Motion Array's online library. You cannot download new assets, access premium plugins through the platform, or claim new AI voiceover credits. If you used Motion Array's cloud storage or collaborative workspace, those features become unavailable. However, any files you exported to your local storage remain accessible on your computer.
Timeline for cancellation to take effect
Most cancellations take effect immediately after you confirm the cancellation in step 4. However, if you're mid-billing cycle, Motion Array typically allows you to access the service until the end of your current billing period (if you're on monthly billing) or until the next renewal date. You won't be charged for the next billing period. Verify the exact end date on your cancellation confirmation screen, as this date determines when you lose access to the library.
Refund eligibility and the 14-day cooling-off period
Motion Array's refund window is narrow but legally binding under Australian Consumer Law.
When you qualify for a refund
You qualify for a full refund if all of the following conditions are true: (1) you cancel within 14 calendar days of your initial purchase or most recent renewal, (2) you have not downloaded any assets during this 14-day window, and (3) you request the refund before the 14-day period expires. If you downloaded even one template or stock image, Motion Array will typically deny the refund on the grounds that you've received the service's core benefit.
How to claim your refund
If you qualify for a refund, Motion Array should process it automatically after you cancel within the 14-day window. Check your cancellation confirmation email; it will state whether a refund is being issued. Refunds typically appear in your bank account or credit card within 5 to 10 business days after Motion Array processes them. If you don't see the refund within 10 days, contact Motion Array support with your cancellation confirmation number and request a refund status update.
Disputing a denied refund through your bank
If Motion Array denies your refund claim and you believe you qualify (you cancelled within 14 days and didn't download assets), you can dispute the charge through your bank. Contact your bank's customer service team and request a chargeback or dispute for "refund not issued as promised." Provide your cancellation confirmation email and the dates you cancelled. Your bank will contact Motion Array and request proof that you downloaded assets or that you cancelled outside the 14-day window. If Motion Array cannot provide evidence, your bank must reverse the charge. This process typically takes 10 to 30 days.
Common mistakes when cancelling Motion Array and how to avoid them
Cancelling a digital subscription feels straightforward, but small oversights can cost you money or create access issues after you cancel. Yafee has identified the mistakes most Australian users make; avoiding these protects both your account and your budget.
Mistake 1: cancelling mid-project and losing access to essential assets
If you cancel on day 15 of your billing cycle, you retain access until the next renewal date (typically 30 days later). However, if you cancel and expect to use Motion Array templates in a project, you must download all assets before cancellation. Any asset you plan to use should be exported to your local storage and tested in your editing software before you cancel. Once your subscription ends, you cannot re-download assets if they fail to open or if you need a higher resolution version.
Mistake 2: forgetting to cancel and being charged for another month
Motion Array charges your payment method on the renewal date, not on the first day of the month. If your renewal date is the 17th and you cancel on the 18th, you'll be charged for another month (unless you're in the 14-day refund window). Before you cancel, check your billing date in the Plan and Billing section. If you're close to your renewal date, delay cancellation by one day to ensure it processes before the next charge. Alternatively, contact Motion Array support to request a manual cancellation after the charge has posted; they can refund the erroneous charge on a case-by-case basis.
Mistake 3: cancelling without downloading your project files
If you've used Motion Array's cloud workspace or collaborative features, any files stored there become inaccessible once your subscription ends. Before you cancel, download all project files, project presets, and custom settings to your local computer. Motion Array does not provide a grace period for data recovery after cancellation, so download everything you need immediately after you cancel but before your subscription period ends.
Mistake 4: assuming downloaded assets are yours to resell
Motion Array's licence permits you to use downloaded assets in personal and commercial projects, but you cannot resell the assets themselves. If you're a reseller or template broker, check Motion Array's licensing terms before you download premium templates. Some premium assets carry restrictions on distribution; using them in a client project is permissible, but selling them as standalone products violates the licence and can trigger account termination.
After cancellation: what you need to do next
Cancelling is the first step; managing the aftermath ensures you don't face billing disputes or access issues later.
Verify your cancellation status in your account
Three days after you cancel, log back into your Motion Array account and check the Plan and Billing section. Your plan should display as "Cancelled" or "Inactive." If it still shows as "Active" or displays an upcoming renewal date, contact Motion Array support immediately. A stuck billing status could mean you'll be charged again at the next renewal, and resolving this now prevents a costly surprise charge.
Monitor your bank or credit card for unexpected charges
Mark your calendar for your original renewal date (the date you would have been charged if you hadn't cancelled). Check your bank or credit card statement on that date to confirm no charge from Motion Array appears. If a charge does appear after you've cancelled, dispute it immediately with your bank as an unauthorised charge. The sooner you dispute, the faster your bank reverses it.
Save your cancellation confirmation email indefinitely
File your Motion Array cancellation confirmation email in a dedicated folder or label in your email client. If Motion Array disputes your cancellation or charges you by mistake later, this email proves your cancellation request and date. Australian Consumer Law requires companies to maintain records of cancellation requests, so your email serves as your proof if a dispute arises.
Choosing between downgrade, pause and full cancellation
Before you cancel Motion Array entirely, consider whether a downgrade or pause might better serve your creative and financial needs.

If you're switching to free alternatives like Pexels or Pixabay, download all Motion Array assets you need before you cancel; free platforms may not have equivalents. If you're upgrading to Envato Elements or Shutterstock, verify they support your editing software and use case before you cancel Motion Array. Yafee recommends testing a competitor's free trial before you commit to cancellation; you may discover that Motion Array's specific tools justify the cost for your workflow.
If Motion Array refuses to cancel or charges you after cancellation
Escalation routes exist if the company doesn't honour your cancellation request or continues to charge you without permission.
Step 1: request cancellation in writing via email
If cancelling through your account dashboard doesn't work (the cancellation button is missing, doesn't load, or displays an error), email Motion Array support directly. Include your account email, full name, and a clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Motion Array subscription effective today. Please confirm cancellation within 48 hours and provide a confirmation number." Request a response within 48 hours. This email becomes evidence if you need to escalate to your bank or the ACCC.
Step 2: dispute the charge through your bank if Motion Array continues to bill
If Motion Array charges you after you've requested cancellation and the company refuses to refund, contact your bank immediately. Request a chargeback or charge reversal for "subscription not cancelled as requested" or "unauthorised charge." Provide your bank with your cancellation request email and any screenshots showing your cancellation in your account. Your bank will reverse the charge within 5 to 10 business days in most cases, even if Motion Array disputes the reversal. Australian banking law protects you; your bank must act on your request if you show evidence of a good-faith cancellation attempt.
Step 3: file a complaint with the ACCC if the problem persists
If Motion Array continues to charge you after you've disputed the charge with your bank, or if you suspect the company is engaging in misleading billing practices, file a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) at scamwatch.gov.au. Include all documentation: your cancellation request email, your bank dispute confirmation, and screenshots of your account status. The ACCC investigates complaints about unfair contract terms and deceptive billing practices. If the ACCC determines Motion Array is systematically refusing cancellations or billing customers without consent, it can issue enforcement action and require the company to refund affected customers.
