Frequently asked questions
Cancel Absorb: The Right Way to Protect Your Investment
How to cancel Absorb LMS and protect your learning investment in india
Why you might cancel Absorb and what this means for your organisation
Absorb is a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS) that helps organisations across India design, deliver and track online training programmes. If your company uses Absorb to manage employee development, partner training or customer education, you benefit from course creation tools, learner analytics and system integrations. However, your business needs may shift. Your team might outgrow the platform, a competitor offers better value, your contract term has expired with renewal costs that no longer make financial sense, or you've discovered charges that weren't clearly disclosed at the point of purchase.
At Yafee, we understand that cancelling a learning platform involves more than clicking a button. It requires understanding your legal rights under Indian consumer law, reviewing your contract terms, securing your data, and following the correct procedural steps. This guide walks you through every phase of cancellation and ensures you retain full protection as a consumer in India.
When cancellation makes practical sense
You should consider cancelling Absorb if your organisation no longer requires active training delivery, you are migrating to a competing platform such as TalentCards, Docebo or Coursera, your subscription renewal costs exceed the demonstrable value you receive, or you have identified billing irregularities that Absorb has not resolved transparently.
Before you initiate cancellation, Yafee recommends that you review your signed contract or subscription agreement, export your billing history for the past 12 months, and document any outstanding support requests or unresolved disputes. This evidence protects your position if you later need to file a consumer complaint or dispute a charge.
Who operates Absorb and how to contact them
Absorb is operated by GlobalBees Brands Pvt. Ltd, a company registered and headquartered in India. When you need to escalate a cancellation request, dispute a charge, or request a refund, you must direct your communication to GlobalBees Brands Pvt. Ltd using their official contact channels. Having the correct contact details ensures your request reaches the authorised decision-maker and creates a documented record of your cancellation attempt.
Absorb pricing, billing cycles and what you pay
Absorb operates on a tiered pricing model based on your organisation's size, required features and contract duration.
The following table shows typical monthly pricing in USD. To convert to Indian Rupees (INR), apply the current exchange rate (as of late 2024, approximately 1 USD = 83-85 INR).
| Plan | Monthly price (USD) | Billing cycle | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Business | $800 | Month-to-month | Startups and small teams with basic training needs |
| Midmarket | $1,350 | Month-to-month | Growing organisations needing advanced reporting and custom branding |
| Enterprise | $4,850 | Month-to-month | Large organisations with dedicated account management |
| Custom | Negotiated | Annual | Organisations with unique integration or scaling requirements |
If you signed up through a reseller, partner or Indian distributor, your actual pricing may differ from the table above. Cross-check your billing email and most recent invoice against this breakdown to confirm you are paying the correct amount. If your billed price is significantly higher, you may have grounds to dispute the charge under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
Your consumer rights in india and the legal basis for cancellation
Indian law provides you with clear rights when cancelling a digital service subscription, and these rights apply directly to Absorb.
Consumer protection act 2019 and your cancellation rights
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 is the primary legislation governing digital service contracts in India. Under this law, you have the explicit right to cancel unfair or misleading subscription terms, demand clear written information about all charges before you pay, and file a formal complaint with your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission if Absorb refuses a legitimate refund or continues to charge your account after cancellation.
Furthermore, if Absorb deliberately hides their cancellation process, makes the cancellation link difficult to find, or presents refund terms that contradict their marketing claims, you have grounds to escalate your complaint to the consumer authority. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 explicitly requires that cancellation processes be "simple, transparent and user-friendly."
Your legal position on refunds and cooling-off periods
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you have a statutory cooling-off period of 14 days from the date of purchase to cancel your subscription and claim a full refund, provided you have not substantially used the service. If Absorb refuses to honour this 14-day window or disputes your refund claim, Yafee advises you to escalate immediately to your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission or file a complaint with the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) if the transaction value exceeds 1 crore rupees.
Beyond the cooling-off period, your refund eligibility depends on your contract terms. If your contract explicitly permits mid-term cancellation with a pro-rata refund, you retain that right. If Absorb's terms are unclear or ambiguous about refunds, Indian consumer law presumes the terms favour the consumer, and any refund dispute is resolved in your favour.
Information technology act 2000 and data protection during cancellation
The Information Technology Act, 2000 requires Absorb to securely delete or return your organisation's data within a reasonable timeframe after cancellation. Before you cancel, request written confirmation from Absorb's support team that they will delete all your training data, course content and learner records within 30 days of your cancellation date. This creates a documented obligation and protects you against unauthorised data retention.
How to cancel Absorb: step-by-step procedure
Cancellation of your Absorb subscription follows a structured procedure with multiple verification steps to ensure clarity and protect both parties.
Step 1: verify your account status and contract terms
Before you submit a cancellation request, you must confirm your current subscription status and review the exact terms of your agreement.
- Log in to your Absorb account using your admin credentials.
- Navigate to your account settings or billing section and locate your subscription plan name and renewal date.
- Retrieve your original subscription agreement or purchase confirmation email from your inbox (search for emails from Absorb or GlobalBees Brands Pvt. Ltd).
- Note the following details:
- Your plan name and monthly or annual billing cycle.
- Your current renewal date or contract end date.
- Any early termination fees or cancellation clauses mentioned in the contract.
- The email address registered as your billing contact.
- Document any disputes or outstanding charges you wish to raise during cancellation.
Step 2: submit your formal cancellation request in writing
Indian consumer law requires that cancellation requests be submitted in writing and reach the correct department within GlobalBees Brands Pvt. Ltd. This creates a dated, documented record and satisfies legal requirements under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
- Compose a cancellation email to Absorb's support or billing team. Use the contact email address listed in your subscription agreement or on Absorb's official website.
- In your email, include the following mandatory information:
- Your full name and organisation name.
- Your Absorb account ID or username.
- Your registered email address associated with the account.
- Your explicit request: "I request cancellation of my Absorb subscription effective immediately" or "effective [your preferred date]."
- Your reason for cancellation (optional but recommended for documentation).
- A request for written confirmation of the cancellation date and any refund eligibility.
- Send the email using a method that generates a read receipt or delivery confirmation (many email providers offer this option).
- Retain a copy of your sent email and any delivery confirmation as evidence.
Step 3: request data export and confirmation of data deletion
Before your cancellation takes effect, you must secure all your organisation's training data and course content. Absorb should provide export tools within your account dashboard.
- Log in to Absorb and navigate to your account settings or data export section.
- Initiate a full data export, which typically includes:
- All course content and learning materials.
- Learner records, progress reports and completion certificates.
- User roles, permissions and administrative configurations.
- Any custom integrations or API configurations.
- Download the exported data to a secure local storage device (hard drive or encrypted cloud storage).
- In your cancellation email (Step 2), explicitly request that Absorb confirm in writing that they will permanently delete all your data within 30 days of the cancellation date, in compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000.
- Request a confirmation email from Absorb's data protection or compliance officer acknowledging this deletion commitment.
Step 4: await written confirmation of cancellation
Absorb must respond to your cancellation request within 5 to 7 business days. Their response should confirm the cancellation date and outline your refund status.
- Monitor your email inbox for a response from Absorb or GlobalBees Brands Pvt. Ltd.
- Once you receive a cancellation confirmation email, verify that it includes:
- Your account ID and cancellation effective date.
- A statement of any remaining balance due, refund amount or credit.
- The date by which refunds will be processed (typically 7 to 14 days).
- Confirmation of data deletion timeline and responsibility.
- Retain this confirmation email permanently as proof of your cancellation request and expected refund schedule.
Step 5: verify billing cessation and refund processing
After your cancellation date has passed, you must monitor your payment method to confirm that Absorb no longer charges your account.
- Check your credit card, debit card or bank account statement for any charges from Absorb or GlobalBees Brands Pvt. Ltd after your cancellation date.
- Confirm that your refund (if applicable) has been credited to your original payment method within the timeframe stated in the cancellation confirmation email.
- If you do not see a refund within the promised timeframe, contact your bank or payment processor to verify whether the refund is in transit.
- If Absorb continues to charge your account after the cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge and initiate a chargeback if necessary.
When Absorb refuses your cancellation request
If Absorb does not respond to your cancellation request, denies cancellation without legal justification, or continues to charge you after your requested cancellation date, you have escalation options under Indian consumer law.
Escalation step 1: formal notice to GlobalBees brands pvt. ltd
Before you file a formal complaint, send a final legal notice to Absorb demanding compliance with your cancellation request.
- Prepare a formal letter (via email or registered post) addressed to the Managing Director or Compliance Officer of GlobalBees Brands Pvt. Ltd.
- In the letter, state:
- The date you submitted your cancellation request.
- The specific ways Absorb has failed to comply (e.g., no response, refusal to cancel, ongoing charges).
- Your reference to the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and your statutory rights.
- A demand that Absorb respond within 7 days with confirmation of cancellation and refund status.
- A statement that failure to comply will result in escalation to your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
- Send this notice via email with read receipt and also via registered post if possible, to create multiple evidence trails.
- Retain copies of all correspondence.
Escalation step 2: file a complaint with the consumer disputes redressal commission
If GlobalBees Brands Pvt. Ltd does not respond to your formal notice within 7 days, you may file a formal complaint with your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
- Identify your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (your state government's consumer affairs department publishes contact details online).
- Prepare a written complaint that includes:
- Your full name, address and contact details.
- Absorb's account ID and subscription details.
- The dates and content of all cancellation requests you submitted.
- A detailed explanation of Absorb's non-compliance or refusal.
- Copies of all correspondence between you and Absorb.
- Your demand for cancellation, refund and compensation for any unauthorised charges.
- Reference to the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 as the legal basis for your complaint.
- Submit your complaint to your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission either in person or by registered post.
- The Commission will schedule a hearing, and Absorb will be required to defend their position in writing and in person. If the Commission rules in your favour, Absorb is legally bound to comply.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancellation is a straightforward process once you follow the correct steps, but several common errors can delay your refund or weaken your legal position.
Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong contact channel
Many users attempt to cancel via social media messages, generic support forms or international contact addresses. These routes create no documented record and may not reach the correct department. Always send your cancellation request to the official support email address listed in your subscription agreement or on Absorb's official website, and request a written acknowledgement.
Mistake 2: failing to export your data before cancellation
Once your account is cancelled, you may lose access to your course content and learner records. Always download and back up your complete data before submitting your cancellation request. Absorb is not obligated to provide data recovery after account closure.
Mistake 3: not requesting written confirmation of cancellation and refund terms
If Absorb verbally agrees to cancel over the phone or through a chat session, you have no documented proof of that agreement. Always request written confirmation via email, including the cancellation date, refund amount and refund processing timeline.
Mistake 4: cancelling mid-contract without reviewing termination fees
If your contract specifies an early termination fee and you cancel before the contract end date, you may be liable for this fee. Review your contract terms carefully before you submit your cancellation request, and calculate whether any refund will remain after deducting termination fees.
Mistake 5: accepting a vague refund timeline
If Absorb offers a refund but provides no specific date, follow up in writing and request a firm refund date (e.g., "within 14 days of cancellation"). This allows you to escalate if the refund is delayed beyond the promised date.
What happens after your Absorb cancellation is processed
Once your cancellation is confirmed, you enter a post-cancellation phase with specific milestones to track.
Week 1: account access suspension
Within 1 to 7 days after your cancellation date, Absorb will suspend your account access. You and your users will no longer be able to log in to Absorb. Ensure that you have downloaded all essential data before this suspension takes effect.
Week 2: billing cessation
Absorb will stop charging your payment method after your cancellation date. Monitor your billing account to confirm that no further charges appear.
Week 3: refund processing
If you are eligible for a refund, Absorb will initiate the refund within the timeframe stated in your cancellation confirmation email (typically 7 to 14 days). Refunds are credited to your original payment method and may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to appear in your bank account, depending on your bank's processing time.
Week 4: data deletion
Absorb will delete all your organisation's data within 30 days of your cancellation date, in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000. If you require certification of data deletion, request it explicitly in your cancellation email and follow up in week 4 if confirmation has not been provided.
Refund eligibility and what you can expect to recover
Your refund eligibility under Indian law depends on several factors: when you cancel relative to your contract term, whether you are within the 14-day cooling-off period, and what your specific subscription agreement states.
Refund scenarios and outcomes
The following table summarises your likely refund outcome based on your cancellation timing.
| Cancellation scenario | Refund eligibility | Typical refund amount |
|---|---|---|
| Within 14 days of purchase, minimal usage | Full refund (Consumer Protection Act cooling-off period) | 100% of subscription fee paid |
| Mid-contract cancellation, annual plan | Pro-rata refund minus early termination fee (if applicable) | Remaining months' fee divided by 12, minus termination fee |
| At contract renewal date | Full eligibility to decline renewal; no refund required | Zero (no charge incurred) |
| After substantial usage beyond cooling-off period | Depends on contract; often no refund unless contract states otherwise | Zero unless contract permits mid-term refund |
| Due to Absorb's billing error or non-compliance | Full refund of overcharged amount | 100% of disputed charges, plus compensation under Consumer Protection Act |
Calculating your pro-rata refund on an annual plan
If you subscribed to Absorb on an annual plan and cancel mid-year, you are entitled to a pro-rata refund (a refund proportional to the unused portion of your subscription). To calculate this refund:
- Divide your annual subscription fee by 365 days.
- Multiply this daily rate by the number of days remaining in your subscription after your cancellation date.
- If your contract specifies an early termination fee, subtract this fee from the pro-rata refund amount.
For example: If you paid 1 lakh rupees for a 12-month plan and cancel after 6 months with no termination fee, your refund would be 50,000 rupees (6 months remaining divided by 12 months, multiplied by 100,000).
Protecting yourself: common cancellation traps and how to avoid them
Absorb and similar SaaS platforms sometimes use contract structures that make cancellation difficult or costly if you do not anticipate them.
Trap 1: auto-renewal with no explicit cancellation reminder
Your Absorb subscription may renew automatically on your renewal date without a reminder email. If you do not explicitly cancel before your renewal date, you will be charged for another subscription period. Set a calendar reminder 30 days before your renewal date to decide whether to continue or cancel.
Trap 2: non-refundable subscription marked as non-cancellable
Some Absorb plans may be marketed as non-cancellable or non-refundable. However, under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, no subscription can be rendered completely non-cancellable if the terms are unfair or were not explicitly agreed to at the point of purchase. If Absorb refuses to cancel citing a non-cancellable clause, you have grounds to dispute this with your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
Trap 3: hidden early termination fees buried in contract fine print
Your Absorb contract may include an early termination fee (e.g., 2 to 3 months' subscription cost) if you cancel before your contract term ends. Always read the "Termination" or "Cancellation" section of your subscription agreement and understand the exact fee structure before you commit to a contract.
Trap 4: inability to recover exported data after account closure
Once Absorb deletes your account, you lose permanent access to any data stored on their servers. If you fail to export and back up your data before cancellation, you cannot recover course content or learner records. Download your complete data immediately after deciding to cancel.
