Frequently asked questions
Cancel Creative Market: The Right Way
How to cancel Creative Market and stop recurring charges in canada
What is Creative Market
Creative Market is an online marketplace where independent designers and creators sell digital assets-fonts, graphics, templates, photographs and design themes. You can purchase individual assets as one-time downloads, or subscribe to recurring membership plans that provide access to curated collections at discounted rates. The platform processes all transactions, manages your account and handles licensing agreements through its website, serving buyers and sellers across Canada and internationally.
Most Creative Market transactions are standalone purchases from individual sellers. However, the platform also offers optional monthly and annual membership subscriptions that renew automatically unless you actively cancel them. If you've enrolled in a recurring plan and want to stop charges, you must cancel through your account dashboard. At Yafee, we've guided thousands of Canadian consumers through subscription cancellations on digital asset platforms, and Creative Market follows industry-standard cancellation procedures once you locate the correct settings.
Why you might want to cancel Creative Market
You may cancel a Creative Market membership for several legitimate reasons. You might no longer require regular access to design assets, you've discovered a more affordable alternative, or you signed up to evaluate the service and determined it didn't meet your needs. Some customers cancel after completing a single project because they mistakenly believed membership was optional, only to discover automatic renewal had already occurred.
Others find that purchasing individual assets selectively costs less than maintaining an active membership they underutilize. Regardless of your reason for cancellation, the process should be straightforward and transparent. Yafee exists to ensure you understand your cancellation rights under Canadian consumer law and can execute the cancellation without confusion or unexpected fees.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Canadian consumer protection legislation grants you specific rights when cancelling digital subscriptions. Under the federal Competition Act and provincial consumer protection statutes (including British Columbia's Consumer Protection Act, Alberta's Fair Trading Act, Ontario's Consumer Protection Act and Quebec's Consumer Protection Act), you have the right to receive clear, upfront disclosure about billing frequency, renewal dates and cancellation methods before any charge is applied.
If Creative Market renewed your membership without explicit, informed consent before each billing cycle, you may be entitled to a refund under your province's consumer protection framework. Furthermore, most Canadian provinces permit you to cancel subscriptions without penalty at any time, or within 14 to 30 days of your first charge if the cancellation mechanism is not reasonably accessible. Should Creative Market refuse your cancellation request or deny a refund you believe you've earned, you can escalate to your provincial consumer protection office or file a complaint with the federal Competition Bureau.
Your legal position: You have the statutory right to cancel at any time. If Creative Market fails to honour your cancellation within the timeframe specified in your account or within 30 days of your request, document all correspondence and escalate to your provincial consumer authority. Yafee recommends taking screenshots of your cancellation request and saving all email confirmations-these records become essential evidence if you need to pursue a formal complaint.
Creative Market pricing and billing plans
Understanding your subscription tier and billing structure will help you decide whether cancellation serves your needs and whether you qualify for a partial refund.
| Purchase type or plan | Typical price (CAD) | Billing frequency | What you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual asset (one-time purchase) | Varies by seller (typically $2-$50) | One-time charge | Single font, graphic, template or photograph under a commercial or personal license |
| Monthly membership | Varies by tier | Monthly recurring charge | Access to curated asset collections, monthly download allowances and member discounts; auto-renews each month |
| Annual membership | Varies by tier (typically discounted per month) | Annual recurring charge | Full-year access to collections, higher download limits and exclusive member benefits; auto-renews annually |
| Seller account (platform fees) | Varies | Per-sale commission or revenue share | Storefront, asset upload tools, analytics and seller support |
Should you cancel Creative Market
Evaluate whether cancellation aligns with your actual usage and budget before proceeding. Ask yourself whether you actively download assets each month or whether your membership sits unused. Compare the cost of your subscription against the cost of purchasing individual assets on an as-needed basis-many Canadian consumers discover that selective, one-time purchases cost significantly less than maintaining an active membership.
If you've already paid for a full month or year, contact Creative Market support before cancelling to ask whether you can receive a pro-rated refund for unused time. In some cases, customer service may offer this accommodation voluntarily, particularly if you're a recent subscriber. If Creative Market refuses and you believe you have grounds for a refund under consumer protection law, Yafee can help you understand your options for escalation.
How to cancel your Creative Market membership
The cancellation process unfolds through a series of clear, sequential steps within your account settings. Yafee recommends completing each step while logged in to ensure you receive confirmation of your cancellation request.
Step 1: log in to your Creative Market account
Navigate to the Creative Market website and sign 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. You must have active account access to initiate a cancellation request.
Step 2: locate your account settings or subscription management page
Once logged in, look for a menu option labelled "Account", "Settings", "Billing" or "Subscriptions"-this varies depending on your account type and the platform's current interface. Most digital marketplaces place billing and subscription controls in a dedicated dashboard accessible from your user profile menu (often located in the upper right corner of the page).
Step 3: navigate to active subscriptions or memberships
Within your settings, find the section that displays your current subscriptions or membership plans. This page will show your billing frequency (monthly or annual), your next renewal date and your current subscription tier. Review this information carefully to confirm you're cancelling the correct subscription.
Step 4: select the cancellation or "cancel subscription" option
Next to your active subscription, locate a button or link labelled "Cancel", "Cancel subscription" or "End membership". Click this option to initiate the cancellation process. The platform may ask you to confirm your decision or provide a reason for cancellation-answer truthfully but concisely.
Step 5: confirm your cancellation
Creative Market will prompt you to confirm that you wish to cancel. This confirmation step protects you from accidental cancellations. Read the confirmation message carefully to verify the cancellation date and any final charges. Click "Confirm" or "Cancel subscription" to finalize the request.
Step 6: capture your cancellation confirmation
Immediately after confirmation, the platform should display a confirmation message on-screen and send a confirmation email to your registered address. Screenshot the on-screen confirmation and save the email-these documents serve as proof of your cancellation request should you need to escalate a dispute. Store both files in a secure location for at least one year.
If you cannot locate the cancellation option online
In rare cases, Creative Market may not provide a self-service cancellation option within your account dashboard. If this occurs, you have the right under Canadian consumer protection law to cancel by written request. Send a formal cancellation letter via registered mail to the address listed in Creative Market's Terms of Service. Include your full name, email address, account number and a clear statement that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately. Request written confirmation of your cancellation within 10 business days. This paper trail protects you legally if the company later claims it never received your cancellation.
Timeline and cancellation effectiveness
Your cancellation timing directly affects your final billing date and any refund eligibility. Understanding these mechanics ensures you avoid surprise charges after you've requested cancellation.
When you cancel a monthly membership, Creative Market will typically stop charging you at the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if your billing date is the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 20th, you will not be charged again on the 15th of the following month. Your membership access will remain active until midnight on the last day of your paid period. Annual memberships follow the same logic: cancellation takes effect at the end of your paid year, not immediately upon request.
If you cancel within 30 days of your first charge and have not meaningfully used the service, Canadian consumer protection law may entitle you to a full refund. After 30 days, refund eligibility becomes more limited unless you can demonstrate that Creative Market failed to provide accurate cancellation information or auto-renewed without proper consent. Yafee recommends requesting a refund explicitly when you cancel if you believe you qualify under these grounds.
Requesting a refund after cancellation
Cancellation and refund are separate actions under Canadian consumer law. Stopping future charges does not automatically return money you've already paid, though you may be entitled to one under specific circumstances.
When you qualify for a refund
You qualify for a full or partial refund in these scenarios. First, if you cancelled within 14 to 30 days of your initial charge and have minimally used the service, most provincial consumer protection acts entitle you to a refund of the full subscription cost. Second, if Creative Market auto-renewed your membership without explicit, prior consent, you can request a refund for that renewal charge specifically. Third, if the platform failed to clearly disclose its cancellation method or renewal terms before charging you, you may be entitled to recover the charge.
How to request a refund
Contact Creative Market's customer support team via email and reference your cancellation confirmation number. Clearly state why you believe you qualify for a refund and cite the specific provision of Canadian consumer law that supports your claim (for example, "I cancelled within 21 days of my first charge, as permitted under the Consumer Protection Act, section [X]"). Include screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and any correspondence proving the company's failure to disclose cancellation terms upfront. Request a response within 10 business days.
If Creative Market denies your refund request and you disagree with its reasoning, escalate your complaint to your provincial consumer protection office (in Ontario, this is ServiceOntario; in British Columbia, it's the Office of the Ombudsperson; in Alberta, it's the Fair Trading Act Administrator). Provide your refund request email, the company's denial, and evidence supporting your claim. These authorities have statutory power to investigate and compel refunds if they find the company violated consumer law.
Common mistakes when cancelling Creative Market
Cancellation is straightforward, but these oversights can delay your refund or leave you vulnerable to continued charges. Stay vigilant and you'll avoid them entirely.
First, many customers assume cancellation is instant. In reality, your membership typically remains active until the end of your current billing period. If you cancel mid-month, you won't see the impact on your next billing date-this is standard practice and not an error. Second, failing to save your cancellation confirmation is the single most common mistake. Without this document, you have no proof you cancelled, and disputing a subsequent charge becomes difficult. Take a screenshot immediately after cancellation confirms.
Third, do not rely on email support responses alone. If you cancel via email and receive confirmation, request that the support agent provide a cancellation reference number in their reply. This number becomes critical evidence if the company later claims no cancellation was initiated. Fourth, some customers cancel their membership but continue downloading assets, then express surprise when they lose access after their final billing period expires. Understand that cancellation means loss of membership benefits at the end of your paid term-plan accordingly.
Finally, avoid contacting customer support multiple times for the same cancellation. Each contact creates duplicate requests, and the company may process them separately, leading to confusion about which request is valid. Make one clear, documented cancellation request and follow up only if you don't receive confirmation within five business days.
After your Creative Market membership ends
Cancellation is complete, but several post-cancellation actions protect your account and verify that charges have truly stopped. Yafee recommends executing these steps within one week of your final billing date.
Check your bank or credit card statement on the day your final billing period should end. Verify that no new charge appears from Creative Market. If you see a charge after the date your membership should have lapsed, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute using your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Most Canadian financial institutions allow you to reverse unauthorized charges within 30 days of the transaction.
Log back into your Creative Market account (if you still have access) and confirm that your subscription no longer appears in your account settings. If it still shows as active after your final billing period has passed, contact customer support immediately with your cancellation confirmation number. Request written confirmation that your account has been cancelled and no further charges will be processed.
Finally, consider monitoring your email for any messages from Creative Market promoting re-subscription offers. If the company contacts you aggressively or sends misleading re-subscription invitations within 30 days of your cancellation, these may violate anti-spam and consumer protection regulations. Document these emails and report them to your provincial consumer authority or the federal Competition Bureau if they persist.
Your legal recourse if Creative Market refuses to cancel
Occasionally, a company may deny a cancellation request or claim it never received the request. You have legal remedies under Canadian law. Under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection statutes, you retain the absolute right to cancel any subscription at any time after purchase. No company can lawfully refuse cancellation or impose cancellation fees without explicit pre-authorization and clear disclosure before charging you.
If Creative Market continues to charge you after you've submitted a documented cancellation request, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection office. In Ontario, contact ServiceOntario or the Ontario Superior Court's small claims division. In British Columbia, escalate to the Office of the Ombudsperson. In Alberta, file with the Fair Trading Act administrator. In Quebec, contact the National Assembly's Protecteur du consommateur. Provide your cancellation confirmation, all correspondence with the company and copies of the unauthorized charges on your statement.
You may also file a complaint with the federal Competition Bureau (by visiting competition.canada.ca) if you believe Creative Market engaged in deceptive marketing or unfair contract terms. The Competition Bureau investigates violations of the Competition Act and can impose significant penalties on companies that violate consumer rights. This escalation path, while more formal, protects other Canadian consumers from the same harm.
Protecting yourself before you subscribe to Creative Market
Prevention is more efficient than cancellation. Before subscribing to any digital service, follow these practices to avoid disputes later.
Read the full subscription agreement and terms of service before purchasing. Locate the cancellation section explicitly and confirm the method and timeline. If the terms do not clearly explain how to cancel or state that cancellation is "unavailable," do not subscribe. Photograph or print the cancellation terms as they appear on the date you subscribe-companies sometimes alter these terms, and you'll need evidence of what was disclosed to you originally.
Use a dedicated email address for all digital subscriptions. This practice makes it easier to track renewal notifications and cancellation confirmations. Set a calendar reminder for 10 days before your renewal date so you can cancel proactively if you no longer want the service. Enable email notifications for all billing and account changes so you receive immediate alerts if the company processes charges or subscription modifications.
Pay for subscriptions using a credit card, not a debit card. Credit card issuers in Canada offer stronger consumer protections and chargeback mechanisms than debit card providers. If a dispute arises, your credit card company can reverse the charge more readily than a bank can reverse a debit transaction. This advantage is worth the minimal effort of using a credit card for recurring purchases.
Comparing Creative Market to alternative asset platforms
If you're cancelling because you've found a better alternative or wish to evaluate your options, this comparison outlines how Creative Market's pricing and cancellation policies stack up against competitor platforms available to Canadian buyers.
| Platform | Monthly cost (CAD) | Asset variety | Cancellation ease |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creative Market | Varies by tier | Fonts, graphics, templates, photos | Dashboard-based; documented in account settings |
| Shutterstock | Typically $29-$99 | Photos, vectors, music, video | Dashboard cancellation; auto-renewal terms clearly stated |
| Envato Elements | Typically $16.50-$82.50 | Extensive (templates, photos, music, code, graphics) | Dashboard-based; cancellation available anytime |
| Getty Images | Custom pricing | Premium photos and video | Direct contact required; supports formal written cancellation |
| Adobe Stock (via Creative Cloud) | Bundled with Creative Cloud ($55-$100+) | Photos, video, 3D assets, music | Cancellation through Adobe account; subject to Creative Cloud terms |
Each platform offers distinct asset libraries and pricing structures. If you're cancelling because your asset needs have changed or because a competitor offers better value, Yafee recommends trialling the alternative platform's free or trial tier before committing to a paid subscription. This approach prevents repeat cancellations and helps you identify the service that truly matches your workflow and budget.
Contact information for Creative Market and regulatory escalation
Should you need to escalate a cancellation dispute or file a formal complaint, use the contact details and procedures outlined here.
Creative Market's registered corporate address typically appears in its Terms of Service document.

For cancellation disputes that customer support cannot resolve, send a formal letter via Canada Post registered mail to the corporate address listed in the Terms of Service, referencing your account number and cancellation confirmation.
If Creative Market does not respond to your cancellation request or formal letter within 30 days, escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority. Use the following contact channels: In Ontario, contact ServiceOntario at serviceonlinecontario.ca or call 1-800-267-8097. In British Columbia, file a complaint with the Office of the Ombudsperson at ombudsman.bc.ca. In Alberta, contact the Fair Trading Act administrator through the Government of Alberta website. In Quebec, reach out to the Protecteur du consommateur (National Assembly) at protecteur-du-consommateur.qc.ca.
For federal-level concerns involving deceptive marketing or unfair contract practices, file a complaint with the Competition Bureau at competition.canada.ca or call 1-800-348-5358. Provide your cancellation confirmation, all correspondence and evidence of ongoing charges. The Competition Bureau investigates systematically and may take enforcement action against the company if violations are confirmed.
