How to cancel Chaos subscription in malaysia and stop auto-renewal charges
What Chaos is and why malaysian users subscribe
Chaos is a subscription-based software platform that delivers professional visualisation and rendering tools, most famously Enscape, to architects, designers, and 3D visualisation professionals across Malaysia and the region.
Unlike a one-time game purchase, Chaos operates on recurring monthly, annual, and 3-year billing cycles. Auto-renewal is enabled by default on all subscription tiers, which means your account continues to charge automatically unless you actively cancel or disable renewal before the next billing date. This is a critical detail: many Malaysian users discover unexpected charges precisely because they did not cancel before the renewal cycle kicked in.
What you are actually paying for with Chaos
Chaos subscriptions in Malaysia are priced in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). The most widely used plan, Enscape, offers tiered options that bundle rendering engines, cloud collaboration, asset libraries, and AI-assisted features into a single monthly or annual fee.
The current published MYR pricing for Enscape includes Solo at RM 247.50 per month or RM 2,970 annually, Premium at RM 330 per month or RM 3,960 annually, and Collection at RM 1,035 per month. Each tier unlocks additional features: Solo covers basic rendering and asset access, Premium adds Veras AI and extended cloud storage, and Collection bundles the full feature set plus Chaos credits for premium assets.
Critically, if you started with a free trial, the subscription automatically converts to a paid plan at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before that date. Chaos explicitly states that refunds are not available once a subscription begins after a free trial has ended.
How Chaos billing and auto-renewal work in malaysia
When you sign up to Chaos, auto-renewal is switched on by default. This means the company automatically charges your linked payment method on your renewal date unless you manually disable or cancel the subscription. Yafee has helped thousands of Malaysian consumers understand this mechanism, and the pattern is consistent: users often miss the renewal date or overlook the auto-renewal toggle, resulting in charges they did not anticipate.
Chaos publishes its renewal terms on the subscription management page accessible from your account portal. You can see your next billing date, your current plan tier, and your auto-renewal status in one place. However, Malaysia-specific contact channels (phone lines, live chat, or physical mailing addresses) are not listed in verified sources, so your primary cancellation route must be the online account portal or the Help Center ticket submission system.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Your right to cancel a subscription service in Malaysia is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which gives you the statutory right to withdraw from distance contracts within a defined cooling-off period and to cancel recurring subscriptions before the next charge date.
What the consumer protection act 1999 says about subscriptions
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, when you enter into a distance contract (such as an online subscription), you have the right to cancel within a cooling-off period. For digital services like Chaos, this period typically runs for 14 days from the date you complete your purchase, provided you have not yet accessed or substantially used the service. However, if you have already downloaded, installed, or used rendering features or assets, this right may be forfeited because the service has been performed.
Furthermore, the Act requires that any subscription service which auto-renews must provide you with clear notice of the renewal date, the amount to be charged, and a simple mechanism to cancel before that date. Chaos complies by displaying this information in your account dashboard. Consequently, you have a legal obligation to check your account portal before the renewal date to cancel if you do not wish to continue.
Your legal position on cancellation and refunds
Your legal position: You have the statutory right to cancel your Chaos subscription at any time before the next billing date. If you cancel within the cooling-off period (14 days from purchase) and have not substantially used the service, you may be entitled to a refund of the amount paid. If you cancel after the cooling-off period but before the next renewal date, your access will end on that renewal date, but you will not be charged again. If the company charges you after you have cancelled, you have the right to dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer and to lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), the statutory enforcement body for consumer protection in Malaysia.
Methods to cancel Chaos in malaysia
Chaos provides one primary cancellation method: the online account portal accessed via your login credentials at my.chaos.
The official Chaos web cancellation portal
The standard cancellation route published by Chaos is direct and straightforward. You log in to your account, navigate to the "My Products" or "Active Subscriptions" section, identify your active Chaos subscription, and click the "Cancel" or "Cancel Subscription" button. This disables auto-renewal immediately. You will typically be prompted to complete a brief feedback questionnaire before the cancellation is confirmed, though this is optional.
After cancellation, your account remains accessible until the current billing period ends. You will not be charged again at the next renewal date, and your subscription access will expire on the stated end date. Yafee's experience with Chaos users confirms this method works reliably when completed before the renewal date.
Contact form submission as a backup method
If the web portal does not display a Cancel button or you encounter a technical issue, Chaos provides a Help Center contact form. You can submit a cancellation request via this form with your account email, subscription plan name, and a clear statement that you wish to cancel and stop auto-renewal. Response times vary, but support typically acknowledges cancellation requests within 48 hours in business days. However, Yafee recommends using the web portal as your first choice because it provides immediate confirmation and does not require you to wait for a response.
Step-by-step cancellation of your Chaos subscription
Follow these exact steps to cancel your Chaos subscription and prevent future charges in Malaysia.
Step 1: log in to your Chaos account and verify your subscription details
- Go to my.chaos in your web browser.
- Enter your registered email address and password and click Sign In.
- Once logged in, locate and click My Products or Active Subscriptions (the exact label may vary).
- Take a screenshot or note the following details:
- Subscription plan name (e.g. Enscape Premium)
- Current billing period (from and to dates)
- Next renewal date
- Auto-renewal status (should show as enabled)
- Last amount charged in MYR
- Verify that the next billing date has not already passed. If it has, contact Chaos support immediately to prevent an unintended charge.
Step 2: locate and click the cancel button
- On the Active Subscriptions page, find your Chaos subscription in the list.
- Look for a Cancel, Cancel Subscription, or Manage Subscription button or link next to your plan name.
- Click this button. You will be taken to a confirmation screen.
- If no cancel button appears, proceed to the contact form method outlined below.
Step 3: confirm cancellation and complete any required feedback
- Review the cancellation confirmation screen. It should state your subscription will end on your current renewal date and no further charges will occur.
- You may be asked to complete a brief survey explaining why you are cancelling. This is optional, but answering helps Chaos improve its service.
- Click Confirm Cancellation or the equivalent button to finalise the cancellation.
- You should receive a confirmation message on screen. Take a screenshot of this message.
Step 4: verify cancellation via email confirmation
- Chaos will send a cancellation confirmation email to your registered account email address within a few minutes.
- Open this email and verify that it lists your subscription plan, the cancellation date, and the final access date.
- Save this email in a folder or forward it to yourself as a backup record.
- Log back into my.chaos and confirm that your Auto-renewal status now shows as Disabled or Cancelled.
If the web portal does not show a cancel button: use the contact form
- Go to the Chaos Help Center or Contact Us page (typically found at chaos.com/support or similar).
- Select Contact Support or Submit a Ticket.
- In the subject line, write: Request to cancel subscription and disable auto-renewal.
- In the message body, include:
- Your registered email address
- Your full name as it appears on the account
- Your subscription plan name and current billing cycle dates
- A clear statement: "I request to cancel my Chaos subscription effective immediately and confirm that auto-renewal should be disabled."
- Send the form and note the ticket reference number provided.
- You should receive a response within 24 to 48 hours. Do not delay this step if your renewal date is imminent.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation takes effect immediately, though your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
Access and data during the notice period
Once you cancel, your subscription is marked as inactive in the Chaos system. However, you retain full access to all features until midnight on your final renewal date. This grace period allows you to export project files, save rendered assets, and backup any cloud-stored work before your account access ends.
Critically, you should export any essential project data, design files, or custom assets during this period. Chaos does not automatically delete your account or files immediately after cancellation, but once the subscription officially ends, you will lose access to the rendering engine, cloud collaboration features, and asset libraries. Any exported files remain yours indefinitely.
What you will see after access expires
After your renewal date passes, if you try to log in, you will see a message stating that your subscription has ended and you no longer have active access. The Chaos application will no longer launch rendering jobs, and you will not be able to access cloud storage or premium assets. Your login credentials remain valid, so you can resubscribe at any time by logging in and selecting a new plan.
Prevention of future charges
Once cancellation is confirmed, Chaos will not charge your linked payment method again. If you see a charge after your cancellation confirmation date, this is an error. Yafee advises you to contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and dispute the charge as unauthorised. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. You can also lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) if the company refuses to reverse the charge.
Refunds and refund eligibility
Your refund rights depend on when you cancel relative to your purchase date and how much you have used the service.
Refunds within the cooling-off period
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you completed your purchase. During this period, if you have not substantially used the service (meaning you have not downloaded, installed, or run significant rendering operations), you can request a full refund of the amount paid.
To claim a cooling-off refund, contact Chaos support via the Help Center form and state: "I am requesting a refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 cooling-off period. I purchased my subscription on [date] and am withdrawing from this contract within 14 days. I have not substantially used the service." Include your payment receipt or invoice number. Chaos will process the refund within 14 days of receiving your request, usually back to your original payment method.
Refunds after the cooling-off period
If you cancel after 14 days have passed since your purchase, or if you have substantially used the service, you are not eligible for a refund of the amount already paid. However, you will not be charged for any future renewal periods after your cancellation date. For example, if you paid RM 2,970 for an annual Enscape subscription on 1 January and cancel on 1 March, you will not receive a refund for the RM 2,970 already spent, but you will not be charged again on 1 January the following year.
Free trial conversions and refund exclusions
Chaos explicitly excludes refunds for subscriptions that begin after a free trial period. If you used a free trial and failed to cancel before the trial ended, the conversion to a paid subscription is final and non-refundable. This is why the cooling-off period strategy is critical: cancel during the free trial, not after it converts.

Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Most cancellation delays occur not because Chaos deliberately blocks the process, but because users miss critical steps or misunderstand the timing. Stay alert to these traps.
Missing the renewal date
The single most common error is waiting until after your renewal date to cancel. If you log in on 5 January but your renewal date was 1 January, you have already been charged for another cycle. You can still cancel to prevent the next renewal, but you will not recover the charge that just occurred. Check your renewal date immediately and cancel before that date, not after.
Confusing cancellation with account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your Chaos account. Your login and profile remain active indefinitely. If you want to fully remove your personal data, you must submit a separate data deletion request. For cancellation purposes, you only need to disable auto-renewal and end access to the service.
Assuming the cancel button will appear after signup
Some users sign up, assume the cancel button will be obvious if needed, and do not check until renewal is imminent. The cancel button is always visible in the My Products section, but you must log in to see it. If you are not regularly logging in, set a calendar reminder for 3 days before your renewal date to check your subscription status and cancel if needed.
Not saving cancellation proof
Take screenshots of your cancellation confirmation screen and save the confirmation email. If a charge appears after cancellation, you will need this proof to dispute the charge with your bank or escalate to the MDTCA. Without documented proof, disputes become much harder to resolve.

What to do if Chaos charges you after cancellation
If you cancelled and received a confirmation, but Chaos charges you again, you have clear remedies under Malaysian consumer law.
Step 1: contact Chaos support with your cancellation proof
Email Chaos support via the Help Center contact form. Attach your cancellation confirmation email and a screenshot of your bank statement showing the unexpected charge. Write: "I cancelled my subscription on [date] and received confirmation. I have been charged again on [date] in the amount of RM [amount]. This charge is unauthorised. Please reverse this transaction and confirm via email that it has been refunded."
Allow 5 to 7 business days for a response. Most companies reverse erroneous charges within this window.
Step 2: dispute the charge with your bank
Contact your bank or credit card issuer and inform them that you cancelled the subscription and have been charged unauthorised. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Most banks will initiate a chargeback or reversal immediately and will investigate further if Chaos disputes the claim. Your bank is obligated to protect you from unauthorised charges.
Step 3: lodge a complaint with the MDTCA
If Chaos does not refund the charge after 14 days and your bank's dispute is unsuccessful, file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), the statutory enforcement body for consumer protection in Malaysia. You can lodge a complaint online at www.mdtca.gov.my or visit your nearest state MDTCA office. Provide your cancellation confirmation, bank statements, and all correspondence with Chaos. The MDTCA has the authority to compel refunds and impose penalties on businesses that ignore consumer cancellation requests.
Why malaysian consumers choose to cancel Chaos
Understanding the most common reasons users cancel helps you evaluate whether cancellation is the right choice for you.
Underutilisation of features
Many users subscribe expecting to use Enscape rendering extensively but find that their design workflow does not require frequent visualisation renders. Over time, the monthly cost becomes difficult to justify. If you are rendering fewer than once per month, Solo may be unnecessarily expensive for your actual usage.
Budget constraints
RM 247.50 to RM 1,035 per month is a significant recurring expense for individual designers and small studios. When budgets tighten, subscription services are often the first line items cut. Yafee has observed that many users cancel during economic downturns or when client projects end.
Switching to alternative tools
Competing visualisation platforms (such as Lumion or V-Ray) may offer more suitable feature sets or lower pricing for specific workflows. If you have found a tool that better matches your needs, cancelling Chaos is the logical next step.
Expiry of free trial interest
Users often subscribe during a free trial to test the software, then forget to cancel before the trial converts to a paid subscription. If you no longer actively use Chaos after your trial period, cancelling before conversion prevents unwanted charges.
Summary: taking control of your Chaos subscription
Cancelling your Chaos subscription in Malaysia is straightforward when you follow the exact sequence of steps outlined above. Your consumer rights are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which guarantees you the ability to cancel before the next billing date and to pursue refunds through the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs if the company fails to honour your cancellation.
The critical actions are: verify your renewal date immediately, cancel via the web portal (my.chaos) before that date, save your cancellation confirmation email, and check your bank statement after the renewal date to confirm no charge occurred. If a charge does appear, contact Chaos, your bank, and the MDTCA in sequence until the unauthorised charge is reversed.
Yafee's platform has helped thousands of consumers in Malaysia navigate subscription cancellations across all major software and service providers.

Yafee remains your resource for transparent, legally grounded cancellation guidance, and our team is available to answer questions whenever you need clarity on your consumer protections.
Chaos does not publish a physical mailing address or telephone number for Malaysian users. Your primary cancellation method is the online portal at my.chaos, and your escalation route is the Help Center contact form.
Chaos support channels
- Primary method: Log into my.chaos, navigate to My Products, and click Cancel.
- Backup method: Submit a cancellation request via the Chaos Help Center contact form at chaos.com/support (or equivalent support URL).
- Expected response time: Support typically responds within 24 to 48 hours on business days.

Malaysian consumer protection escalation
If Chaos refuses to honour your cancellation or refund request, you have the right to escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA):
- Agency: Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna)
- Online complaint portal: www.mdtca.gov.my
- Service: Investigates breaches of the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and compels refunds and remedies.
- Cost to you: Free; no filing fee required.
Yafee recommends documenting all communication with Chaos before filing an MDTCA complaint, as the agency will ask for evidence of your cancellation request and the company's response (or lack thereof).
