How to cancel Ezviz CloudPlay and stop auto-renewal charges in india
Why you might want to cancel Ezviz CloudPlay
Ezviz is a smart-home security platform that sells Wi-Fi cameras, video doorbells and cloud-based storage services throughout India. The company offers hardware devices bundled with optional paid subscriptions like CloudPlay, which stores your camera footage remotely for playback and multi-device access.
You may have purchased an Ezviz camera with a promotional cloud plan, or your free trial period expired and the subscription auto-renewed without your expectation. Many users discover they no longer require cloud storage because local microSD card recordings meet their security needs, or they have migrated to a different system entirely. Whatever prompted your decision, Yafee has created this guide to walk you through cancellation in plain legal language, ensuring your service continues until your current billing cycle ends and protecting you from unexpected renewal charges.
How Ezviz subscriptions function in india
CloudPlay subscriptions renew automatically every month or year, depending on the plan you selected. Billing flows through multiple channels: the Ezviz mobile app directly, Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or third-party retailers. Charges appear on your card statement as "CloudPlay" or "Ezviz Drive", and you manage renewal settings either within the Ezviz app or through your respective app-store account.
Crucially, if you cancel your subscription, your access continues until the end of your current billing period, but no renewal will occur. Ezviz does not refund unused days within your active cycle, so cancellation timing matters. Yafee recommends checking your last renewal date before you proceed.
Your consumer rights under indian law
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, establish your statutory cancellation and refund rights if Ezviz misrepresents its service, auto-renews without explicit consent, or creates barriers to cancellation.
Your legal position: when you can demand a refund
You hold a statutory right to cancel and claim a refund within 14 days of purchase if Ezviz failed to clearly disclose auto-renewal terms before you completed the transaction. This protection applies to all digital goods purchased online, including cloud subscriptions. Additionally, if your subscription was renewed after a free trial without your express written consent (for example, you were not given a clear opt-in checkbox), you may qualify for a refund beyond the 14-day window under Rule 4 of the E-Commerce Rules, 2020.
Furthermore, if you subscribed through an app store and the store's interface did not display the auto-renewal terms in plain, legible language at the point of purchase, that failure to disclose constitutes grounds for reversal. Document the original purchase screen, the subscription terms you received, and any renewal notification emails. If Ezviz charged you without this consent, you retain the right to initiate a chargeback through your bank and file a complaint with the consumer authority.
Escalation route if Ezviz refuses your refund
Should Ezviz deny a legitimate refund request, escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) or your state's Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. File a formal complaint at https://www.ccpa.gov.in or visit your nearest district consumer court. In your complaint, include screenshots of the subscription charge, your cancellation request, Ezviz's refusal response, and a timeline of events. The CCPA has statutory authority to impose penalties on companies that breach the Consumer Protection Act.
Methods to cancel Ezviz CloudPlay
You can cancel your subscription through three primary routes: the Ezviz mobile app, your app-store account, or direct contact with Ezviz customer support. Each method produces a cancellation confirmation, so select the one most convenient for you.
Cancel via the Ezviz mobile app

Cancel by contacting Ezviz customer support directly
If you encounter technical issues or cannot cancel through the app or store, contact Ezviz customer support. Yafee advises using this method only as a secondary option, because it generates a paper trail of communication.
- Locate Ezviz's official support email or contact form on their India-based website.
- Send a formal cancellation request, including your account email, device serial number (if applicable) and subscription plan name.
- In your message, state: "I request immediate cancellation of my CloudPlay subscription effective immediately" and include your current billing date.
- Request written confirmation of the cancellation.
- If Ezviz does not respond within 7 working days, escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority by filing a complaint online at https://www.ccpa.gov.in.
- Reference your support email in your CCPA complaint as evidence of your cancellation attempt.

Yafee notes that many users find local microSD card storage (free) sufficient for their home security needs, making cancellation cost-effective.
Common mistakes that trigger unexpected renewals
Rest assured: cancelling Ezviz is straightforward if you follow these steps. However, several user errors can inadvertently leave your subscription active.
Mistake 1: cancelling only the device, not the subscription
Removing an Ezviz camera from your account or uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription. The subscription exists independently. You must explicitly cancel the subscription in your account settings or app-store subscription manager. Log back into your account and verify that your CloudPlay subscription displays as "Cancelled" or "Not Renewing".
Mistake 2: assuming silence equals cancellation
Do not assume your subscription ended simply because you stopped using the service. Ezviz will continue billing until you actively cancel. Check your bank statement 2 to 3 weeks after your intended cancellation date to confirm that no new charge appeared. If a charge does appear, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and cite your cancellation request as proof of your instruction.
Mistake 3: losing your cancellation confirmation
Screenshot or save the cancellation confirmation screen and any confirmation email Ezviz sends. If you later dispute a charge or file a complaint with the consumer authority, this evidence proves you cancelled on a specific date. Retain these documents for a minimum of 12 months.
What happens after you cancel
Your cancellation takes effect once your current billing cycle expires. During this grace period, you retain full access to CloudPlay and all your recorded footage.
Timeline and access retention
From the moment you cancel, Ezviz will mark your subscription as "not renewing". Your access continues until 11:59 pm (IST) on your renewal date. For example, if your subscription renews on 15th November and you cancel on 1st November, you can still access CloudPlay recordings until 14th November at midnight. After that moment, CloudPlay access terminates and your recordings stored in the cloud become inaccessible unless you have downloaded them locally.
Download your recordings before the deadline
If you store important security footage in CloudPlay, download or export your recordings to local storage or an external drive before your access expires. Open the Ezviz app, navigate to the playback section, and export any video files you wish to preserve. This step ensures you do not lose critical security evidence.
Switching to local storage
After cancellation, your Ezviz camera can still record locally if you insert a microSD card (typically up to 512 GB). This provides cost-free, indefinite local recording without cloud dependency. Verify your camera supports microSD recording and purchase a compatible card if you have not already done so.
Refund eligibility and how to claim one
Yafee advises that cancellation differs from refund requests. Cancellation stops future charges; a refund reverses charges already paid. You are entitled to a refund only in specific circumstances under Indian consumer law.
Refund scenarios under the consumer protection act, 2019
You qualify for a full or partial refund if any of the following apply: Ezviz charged your subscription without your explicit written consent (for example, after a free trial auto-renewed despite your expectation that it would not); you subscribed within the last 14 days and Ezviz failed to display auto-renewal terms clearly at checkout; or Ezviz misrepresented the service (for instance, promised unlimited cloud storage but delivered limited storage).
If your free trial converted to a paid subscription without a clear, separate consent step, that constitutes unlawful auto-renewal. Document the app screen at the moment you started the trial and take screenshots showing that you did not receive a separate opt-in notification before the first charge.
How to initiate a refund claim
- Contact Ezviz customer support in writing (email preferred).
- State: "I request a refund for my CloudPlay subscription charged on [date] because [reason: e.g., 'auto-renewed without consent']."
- Include your account email, subscription plan name and transaction ID (visible in your bank statement).
- Allow 7 to 10 working days for Ezviz to respond.
- If Ezviz approves the refund, it will process the reversal within 5 to 7 working days back to your original payment method.
- If Ezviz denies your refund or does not respond within 10 days, escalate to your bank.
- Initiate a chargeback dispute citing "Unauthorized charge" or "Merchandise/service not as described".
- Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation request, Ezviz's refusal email, and screenshots of the subscription terms you received at purchase.
- If the bank chargeback fails, file a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority.
- Visit https://www.ccpa.gov.in and submit a formal consumer complaint.
- Attach all evidence: cancellation requests, refusal emails, bank statements, screenshots and any communication with Ezviz.
- The CCPA will investigate and can order Ezviz to refund you plus impose a penalty on the company for breach of the Consumer Protection Act.
Processing times and next steps
Refunds approved by Ezviz appear in your bank account within 5 to 10 working days. Your bank may take an additional 2 to 3 working days to reflect the credit depending on the bank's processing queue. Yafee recommends checking your bank statement after 10 working days and contacting your bank if the refund has not appeared. Retain all evidence of your refund request indefinitely in case you need to prove the transaction history to the consumer authority later.

If you have attempted cancellation through the app, app store and customer support without success, or if Ezviz refuses a legitimate refund request, you may escalate directly to Prama Hikvision India Pvt. Ltd., the authorised representative for Ezviz in India. Use this contact information if the standard support channels fail to resolve your issue within 10 working days.
Prama Hikvision India Pvt. Ltd.

Furthermore, if Prama Hikvision India does not respond within 30 days, file your complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority at https://www.ccpa.gov.in. The CCPA has statutory power to investigate, impose penalties and order refunds on companies that breach the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions and recover charges by following this escalation path, and your situation may qualify for similar protection.
Final summary
Cancelling your Ezviz CloudPlay subscription in India is a straightforward process governed by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and the E-Commerce Rules, 2020. You retain statutory rights to cancel within 14 days of purchase, demand refunds for auto-renewal without consent, and escalate disputes to the Central Consumer Protection Authority if Ezviz refuses.
Cancel through the Ezviz app, your app-store subscription manager, or by contacting Ezviz support directly. Save all confirmation emails and screenshots. Your access continues until your current billing cycle ends, giving you time to download critical recordings. If you are charged unexpectedly after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and file a chargeback dispute backed by your cancellation evidence.
Yafee recommends acting within 10 working days if Ezviz denies a refund claim; after that threshold, escalate to the consumer authority or your bank's dispute resolution team. Yafee's mission is to translate complex contract law into actionable steps so you retain control over your subscriptions and charges. Follow this guide, keep your documentation secure, and you will navigate Ezviz cancellation with confidence and full legal protection under Indian consumer law.
