How to cancel V380 cloud storage in malaysia and avoid repeat charges
What V380 is and why cancellation matters
V380 is a cloud-storage and camera-management service that stores IP security camera footage remotely. You sign up for recurring monthly plans through the V380 app or your account, and the service bills you automatically until you cancel. Most users discover the need to cancel when a renewal charge appears unexpectedly, or when they realise they no longer need cloud recording features. Understanding your cancellation options under Malaysian consumer law protects your wallet and your rights.
The paid plans you might be subscribed to
V380 offers several cloud-storage tiers. The most common plans are 7-Day Storage, 30-Day Storage, 7-Day AI Storage, and AI Cloud Recording. Each plan renews automatically on your billing date unless you cancel beforehand. The trial plan costs around RM5 per month, while premium AI recording plans reach RM47 per month. If you signed up months ago and forgot about the subscription, you may have paid significantly more than you realised.
How auto-renewal works in malaysia
V380's user agreement states that your package renews automatically before expiry. The company deducts the renewal fee 7 days before your plan expires, and you receive a notification 3 days before that deduction. This structure means you must cancel well before your renewal date to avoid the next charge. If you wait until the renewal date itself, the charge will have already processed.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Malaysian consumer protection law gives you specific rights when cancelling recurring subscriptions like V380.
The consumer protection act 1999 and your position
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA) protects you against unfair contract terms and misleading information. Under this framework, V380 must provide clear, upfront information about auto-renewal terms before you subscribe. The CPA also entitles you to cancel within a reasonable timeframe if the company's cancellation process is deliberately obscured or if you were not properly informed of renewal dates.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel V380 at any time before your renewal date. The company cannot enforce an automatic renewal if the cancellation path is unreasonably hidden or if you were not clearly notified of the next billing date. If V380 charges you after you submitted a valid cancellation request, you can lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNKK), which enforces the CPA.
When to escalate to the consumer authority
If V380 refuses to refund a charge after you cancelled, or if your cancellation request was not processed, contact KPDNKK. You can file a complaint online at www.kpdnkk.gov.my or call their hotline. Provide screenshots of your cancellation request, the confirmation page, and proof of the unwanted charge. KPDNKK can compel the company to refund you if it breached consumer protection rules.
Methods to cancel V380 in malaysia
You must use the correct cancellation channel for your subscription method. Your approach depends on whether you subscribed through the V380 app account, Apple App Store, or Google Play.
Cancellation through the V380 app or web account
If you created a direct V380 account and subscribed via web or in-app billing, you cancel from within your account settings. This is the most straightforward route and Yafee recommends starting here if you remember signing up directly.
- Open the V380 app or log in at v380.app
- Use the email and password you registered with
- Tap your profile icon or navigate to "Profile"
- Look for your profile picture or account menu
- Select "Personal Information" or "Account Settings"
- This varies by app version; look for account-related options
- Find and tap "Account Cancellation" or "Cancel Subscription"
- Read the cancellation notice carefully before proceeding
- Tap "Apply for Cancellation" and confirm your choice
- Screenshot the confirmation page with the date and time stamp
After you tap confirm, the app should display a final confirmation message. Save this screenshot immediately; it is your proof that you cancelled. If the app crashes or returns an error, try again in a browser or on another device.
Cancellation through apple app store
If you subscribed on an iPhone and your renewal is managed by Apple, you must cancel through the App Store, not through the V380 app itself. Apple handles the billing and subscription renewal, so V380's in-app cancel button may not stop your charges.
- Open the App Store app on your iPhone
- Do not use the V380 app directly
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- You may see a silhouette or your Apple ID photo
- Select "Subscriptions"
- This shows all active recurring charges on your Apple ID
- Find "V380" in the list and tap it
- If V380 does not appear, it may already be cancelled
- Tap "Cancel Subscription"
- Apple will ask you to confirm and may offer a retention discount
- Confirm your cancellation
- Take a screenshot showing the cancelled status
The App Store will confirm the cancellation date. Your access to the V380 subscription continues until the end of your current billing cycle, then stops. You will not be charged again unless you reactivate the subscription yourself.
Cancellation through google play store
If you subscribed on an Android device, Google Play manages your recurring charge. You must cancel from Google Play, not from the V380 app, to ensure the subscription stops.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Alternatively, visit play.google.com on a browser
- Tap your profile icon in the top right
- Select "Manage your Google Account"
- Go to the "Payments and subscriptions" tab
- On a browser, select "Subscriptions" from the menu
- Find "V380" and tap it
- The list shows all your active recurring charges
- Tap "Cancel subscription"
- Google will show your cancellation date and any remaining access period
- Confirm and screenshot the final status
- Store this image as proof of cancellation
Google Play will process your cancellation immediately. Your V380 access continues until your current billing period ends. No further charges will appear on your Google Play account after that date.
Step-by-step timeline to cancel without getting charged again
Timing is critical because V380 deducts renewal fees 7 days before your plan expires. Follow this timeline to avoid an unwanted charge.
Check your renewal date first
Before you cancel, find out when your next renewal happens. Log into your V380 account or open the subscription page in the App Store or Google Play. Note the exact renewal date and time.
Cancel at least 8 days before renewal
V380's terms state that the renewal fee is deducted 7 days before expiry. To be safe, cancel 8 days or more before your renewal date. This buffer gives the cancellation time to process and prevents the automated billing system from charging you.
Verify cancellation within 24 hours
After you submit your cancellation, wait 24 hours and check your account status again. Log back in through the same channel (app account, App Store, or Google Play) and confirm that the subscription no longer shows as active. If it still appears active, contact V380 support or the relevant platform support team immediately.
Check for the charge on the renewal date
On the date your renewal would have occurred, check your payment method (credit card, debit card, or app store account). If a charge appears, document it with a screenshot and follow the refund process outlined below.

If you are only using V380 for live viewing and local storage, you do not need any paid plan. Cancelling frees you from recurring charges. If you still need cloud backup, the 30-day storage plan (RM33) offers the best value for most users in Malaysia.
How to request a refund after cancellation
If V380 charged you after you cancelled, you are entitled to request a refund under Malaysian consumer protection law.
Refunds for charges after cancellation
If a renewal charge appeared on your payment method after you submitted a valid cancellation request, contact V380 support directly. Provide your cancellation confirmation screenshot, the date of the unwanted charge, and your payment reference. Yafee advises requesting the refund in writing via email to ensure you have a record of your claim.
Refund requests within 14 days
Many payment platforms allow you to dispute or reverse a charge within 14 days. If V380 does not refund you within 7 business days of your request, contact your bank, credit card issuer, or app store support team. Provide them with your V380 cancellation confirmation and the charge receipt. They can investigate and may reverse the charge on your behalf.
When to escalate to the consumer authority
If your bank and V360 both refuse to refund you, lodge a complaint with KPDNKK. Include screenshots of your cancellation request, the charge, and all correspondence with V380 and your bank. KPDNKK can pursue the matter and compel the company to refund you if it breached consumer protection rules.
What happens after you cancel V380
Cancellation is complete, but understanding the aftermath prevents confusion and lost footage.
Access during the final billing period
If you cancelled mid-billing cycle, you retain full access to V380 until the end of that cycle. You can still view cloud recordings and use all paid features until your subscription expires. After the expiry date, your cloud access stops, but your local device recordings remain untouched.
Cloud footage retention after cancellation
V380's published terms do not specify how long your footage remains in the cloud after you cancel. Consequently, you should assume that your cloud recordings are deleted shortly after cancellation. Before you cancel, download or save any important footage to your device or another storage service.
Reactivating your subscription
If you cancel and later decide you need cloud storage again, you can reactivate a V380 subscription at any time. Log back into your account or open the App Store or Google Play and select "Renew" or "Subscribe." Your subscription history remains linked to your account, but old cloud footage may no longer be available.
Common mistakes when cancelling V380
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward when you follow the correct steps, and most cancellations process without incident.
Cancelling in the wrong place
The biggest mistake is cancelling through the V380 app when you actually subscribed via the App Store or Google Play. The V380 in-app cancellation button may not stop your recurring charge because the platform (Apple or Google) still has the subscription active. You must cancel through the platform itself, not the app.
Cancelling too late before renewal
If you cancel fewer than 7 days before your renewal date, the automated billing system may charge you before your cancellation is processed. Always aim for at least 8 days before your next billing date.
Not saving your cancellation confirmation
Screenshots are your proof. If you cancel without saving confirmation and later dispute a charge, you have no evidence that you requested cancellation. Take a screenshot immediately after you see the confirmation message.
Assuming local footage is deleted
Your device's local camera recordings are not affected by cancellation. Only cloud storage access stops. If you need your local footage, it remains on your device's storage card or internal memory until you manually delete it or the device runs out of space.
When to keep your V380 subscription
Cancellation is not always the right choice. Consider keeping your subscription if you genuinely use the service.
| Reason to keep |
Reason to cancel |
| You regularly view cloud recordings |
You only use live view and local storage |
| Your business requires 30+ day retention |
You forgot about the subscription |
| You need AI detection or alerts |
You replaced your camera or security system |
| You have multiple cameras sharing one plan |
You moved and no longer need surveillance |
| You need a backup of critical footage |
You want to avoid recurring charges |
If you are unsure, keep the subscription for one more billing cycle and assess whether you actually use the cloud features. Many users find the service worthless and cancel immediately; others rely on it for security. The decision depends on your needs, not V380's marketing.
