How to cancel your Quimbee subscription in india and recover your money
Understanding Quimbee and why cancellation matters
Quimbee is an online legal education platform that serves law students and practising attorneys across India and globally. It delivers video lessons, case briefs, study outlines, and practice question banks designed to support law school coursework and bar examination preparation. Many users initially find the platform valuable; however, subscription costs accumulate rapidly, and your study needs or budget constraints may shift over time.
At Yafee, we recognise that cancelling a legal education subscription can create uncertainty, particularly when refund policies vary significantly by plan type and payment method. This guide equips you with every cancellation route, pricing structure, refund entitlement, and your consumer protection rights under Indian law. You will understand exactly what steps to take and what financial recovery to expect when you cancel.
What Quimbee delivers to indian users
Quimbee provides structured study content through web and mobile applications, including concise video lessons, comprehensive case briefs, course outlines, and practice question banks. You can access materials on desktop, iPhone, or Android devices, making the platform accessible during commutes or study sessions. Quimbee sells subscriptions directly through its website and also via in-app purchases through Apple and Google Play stores in India.
Why subscription cancellation protects your finances
Quimbee charges subscription fees on a monthly or annual basis, with pricing ranging from approximately ₹2,700 per month to ₹29,900 for certain premium plans. Continuing to pay for a service you no longer actively use represents a preventable expense drain. Yafee specialises in guiding Indian consumers through the cancellation process and identifying refund opportunities where consumer protection law entitles you to recovery.
Quimbee pricing tiers and plan structures
Understanding your exact pricing tier and billing cycle is essential before you cancel, as it determines your refund eligibility and the correct cancellation method to use.

Important pricing details for indian subscribers
All amounts shown in INR reflect either direct Indian App Store listing or conversion from USD at prevailing exchange rates. Your actual charge depends on your specific plan, payment method used, and applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) or platform processing fees. Before you initiate cancellation, log into your Quimbee account and review your billing statement or payment history. This step ensures you possess accurate pricing data and can identify whether you qualify for any partial refund or credit under Quimbee's stated policy or consumer protection legislation.
Your legal position under indian consumer protection law
Indian consumer law grants you enforceable rights when you purchase digital subscriptions and recurring services, and understanding these protections strengthens your negotiating position if Quimbee resists your cancellation or refund request.
The consumer protection act 2019 and your subscription rights
The Consumer Protection Act 2019 governs all consumer transactions in India, including digital subscriptions purchased online. Under this legislation, you possess specific entitlements:
- The right to cancel your subscription without undue barriers or excessive fees within a reasonable timeframe.
- The right to receive clear information about all charges, billing cycles, and cancellation procedures before purchase and at any time thereafter.
- The right to lodge a complaint with the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission if Quimbee fails to honour a cancellation request or wrongfully continues charging after you have cancelled.
- The right to receive a refund for services not rendered or where the service fails to meet advertised standards.
Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued guidelines on recurring transactions that mandate subscription platforms obtain explicit consumer consent before charging, and permit easy cancellation through the same channel used for purchase whenever possible.
Your legal position when you cancel
Under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and RBI guidelines, you have a legal entitlement to cancel any recurring subscription. Quimbee must process your cancellation request within seven business days and cease all charges immediately. If Quimbee charges your payment method after you have formally cancelled, those charges constitute an unauthorised transaction under consumer protection law. In such cases, you possess the right to file a complaint with your bank, payment processor, or the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in your jurisdiction, and you may recover the unauthorised charges plus compensation for damages incurred. Yafee advises documenting all cancellation correspondence in writing so you retain proof of your cancellation request and the date it was submitted.
How to cancel your Quimbee subscription
Cancellation methods vary based on how you purchased your subscription: whether directly through the Quimbee website, via the Apple App Store, or through Google Play.
Step 1: cancel directly through the Quimbee website
If you purchased your subscription on Quimbee.com, you can cancel through your account dashboard.
- Log into your Quimbee account using your registered email address and password.
- Navigate to Account Settings or Billing & Subscriptions (this section title varies depending on recent interface updates).
- Locate your active subscription and select the Cancel Subscription option.
- Quimbee may present you with a retention offer or request feedback on why you are cancelling. You are not obliged to respond; you may proceed directly to confirm cancellation.
- Confirm that you wish to cancel. Quimbee will display a confirmation message.
- Save or screenshot this confirmation page or the confirmation email Quimbee sends to your registered email address.
- Verify that your subscription status changes to Cancelled or Inactive within 24 hours.
- Check that no further charges appear on your bank statement or payment method after the cancellation date.
Step 2: cancel via the apple app store (iOS)
If you purchased a Quimbee subscription through the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple, not directly via Quimbee.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID at the top of the settings menu.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Locate Quimbee in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap Quimbee and select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm your cancellation choice when prompted.
- Apple will immediately send you a cancellation confirmation email to your Apple ID email address.
- Your access to the Quimbee app will continue until the end of your current billing period, after which the subscription will terminate.
- Screenshot Apple's confirmation email for your records and as evidence of timely cancellation should a dispute arise.
Step 3: cancel via google play (Android)
If you subscribed to Quimbee through the Google Play Store on your Android device, cancellation must occur through Google Play, not via Quimbee directly.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the upper right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- Choose Subscriptions from the menu options.
- Find Quimbee in your subscriptions list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Select your reason for cancelling if prompted (optional).
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping Cancel subscription again.
- Google Play will send a confirmation email to your registered Google account email address.
- Your Quimbee access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, then terminates automatically.
- Save the confirmation email as documented evidence of your timely cancellation.
Step 4: contact Quimbee customer support if self-service cancellation fails
If the above methods do not successfully cancel your subscription, or if you encounter technical barriers, contact Quimbee directly through their support channels.
- Visit the Quimbee website and locate the Contact Us or Help page.
- Send a written cancellation request via email with your full name, account email address, and the date you request cancellation to take effect.
- State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Quimbee subscription effective today. Please confirm cancellation in writing and cease all charges to my payment method."
- Retain the confirmation email and timestamp from Quimbee confirming your cancellation.
- If Quimbee does not respond within seven business days, escalate your complaint to the consumer protection authority in your district.
Understanding refunds and chargebacks
Refund entitlement depends on your plan type, the reason for cancellation, and the stage of your billing cycle at which you cancel.
Refund policy for standard subscription plans
Quimbee typically designates its Study Aids Monthly and Study Aids Annual plans as non-refundable. Nevertheless, Indian consumer protection law may entitle you to a refund if you can demonstrate that the service failed to meet advertised standards, was unavailable for a substantial portion of your billing period, or if Quimbee charged you after you had submitted a valid cancellation request. Yafee recommends documenting any service failures, access disruptions, or billing errors immediately so you retain evidence to support a refund claim.
Refund eligibility for bar review plus plans
Quimbee explicitly offers a refund for Bar Review Plus if you fail your bar examination and have completed at least 75 percent of the course content. To claim this refund, you must submit proof of your examination failure (typically an official exam result or score report) to Quimbee within the timeframe specified in your plan documentation. Yafee advises submitting this claim promptly, as delays may result in refund denial.
Initiating a chargeback with your bank or payment processor
If Quimbee refuses to honour your cancellation request or continues charging you after you have cancelled, you possess the right to file a dispute with your bank or payment processor.
- Contact your bank's customer service line or dispute department within 60 to 90 days of the unauthorised charge (timeframe varies by bank).
- Provide your bank with written proof of your cancellation request, including screenshots, email confirmations, or dated correspondence with Quimbee.
- Explain that you cancelled your subscription and that Quimbee continued charging without authorisation.
- Your bank will initiate a chargeback investigation and may provisionally credit the disputed amount to your account during the investigation period.
- Quimbee will receive notice of the chargeback and must respond with evidence that the charge was authorised and services were rendered. If Quimbee cannot provide such evidence, your bank will permit the credit to remain permanent.
- Retain all correspondence with your bank throughout this process.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Many consumers cancel their subscriptions but inadvertently allow charges to continue due to procedural missteps. The good news is that these mistakes are easily preventable with proper documentation and follow-up.
Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you purchased via the Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that same app store, not through Quimbee directly. Cancelling on the Quimbee website does not cancel an app store subscription, and vice versa. Verify your purchase channel before you initiate cancellation. Check your email receipt or bank statement to confirm whether the charge originated from Quimbee.com, Apple, or Google. Then cancel through the corresponding channel.
Mistake 2: failing to save cancellation confirmation
Once you cancel, immediately screenshot or save the confirmation page and any confirmation emails. If Quimbee later charges you or disputes that you cancelled, this documentation serves as your legal evidence. Email confirmations are particularly valuable because they include a timestamp and are digitally verifiable by consumer dispute authorities.
Mistake 3: not verifying that charges have stopped
Cancellation does not always take effect instantly. Monitor your bank statement or payment method for seven to fourteen days after cancellation. If a charge appears after this period, contact Quimbee immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation. If Quimbee does not reverse the charge within five business days, file a chargeback with your bank.
Mistake 4: neglecting to request written confirmation
If you cancel via phone or live chat, always request that Quimbee send a written cancellation confirmation email to your registered account email address. Verbal cancellations are difficult to prove if a dispute arises. Written confirmation creates an auditable record that consumer protection authorities and your bank can reference.
What to do after cancellation
Cancelling your subscription initiates a series of downstream events that you should actively monitor to ensure Quimbee honours your request and you face no further charges.
Monitor your account access and billing
After cancellation, your access to Quimbee typically continues until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you cancelled mid-month on a monthly plan, you retain access until the end of that calendar month. On that final day, your access terminates automatically. After that date, if you attempt to log in, you will see a message indicating your subscription is inactive. Simultaneously, verify that no new charges appear on your bank statement after the end of your final billing cycle.
Retain all documentation indefinitely
Save all cancellation confirmations, email correspondence with Quimbee, bank statements showing final charges, and any chargeback documentation. Consumer disputes can take months or years to resolve. Indian consumer protection authorities may request this documentation as evidence if you file a formal complaint. Yafee recommends creating a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage service for all subscription-related records.
Escalate if charges continue post-cancellation
If Quimbee charges you after your subscription termination date, take immediate action. Contact Quimbee's customer support with your cancellation confirmation attached and demand an explanation and refund within seven days. If Quimbee does not respond or refuses to refund, file a chargeback with your bank, then lodge a formal complaint with the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in your jurisdiction. Include your cancellation confirmation, all correspondence with Quimbee, and your bank's chargeback documentation as attachments to your complaint.
When to escalate to consumer authorities
If Quimbee refuses to honour your cancellation or refund entitlement, Indian consumer protection law provides formal escalation mechanisms that possess enforcement power.
Filing a complaint with the district consumer disputes redressal commission
If direct communication with Quimbee yields no resolution within fourteen days, you may file a formal complaint with the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in your district. This authority can order Quimbee to refund you, cease charging, and pay compensation for the inconvenience and breach of consumer rights. To file a complaint, you must:
- Gather all documentary evidence: cancellation confirmations, email correspondence, bank statements, chargeback records, and photographs of any service disruptions.
- Complete the formal complaint form available at your district commission's office or website.
- Pay the prescribed filing fee (typically between ₹100 and ₹500 depending on the value of your claim).
- Submit your complaint in person or by post with your evidence attached.
- Quimbee will receive notice and must respond within thirty days. The commission will then schedule a hearing.
Reporting to the reserve bank of india for recurring transaction violations
If Quimbee charged you after cancellation without explicit authorisation, file a complaint with the Reserve Bank of India's Centralised Public Grievance Redressal And Monitoring System (CPGRAMS). The RBI has authority over all banks and payment processors in India and can mandate that your bank take corrective action and issue a refund. Yafee advises including detailed evidence of your cancellation request and the date of unauthorised charges in your RBI complaint.

Summary of cancellation steps and your next action
Cancelling your Quimbee subscription requires you to identify your purchase channel (Quimbee website, Apple App Store, or Google Play), then follow the corresponding cancellation procedure. Save all confirmations immediately, monitor your bank statement for fourteen days post-cancellation, and escalate to consumer authorities if Quimbee charges you after the termination date. Your legal position under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and RBI recurring transaction guidelines is robust. Quimbee must permit easy cancellation and cease charges immediately upon your request.

Yafee has guided thousands of consumers through this process; you are not alone, and cancellation is entirely within your legal right.
