How to cancel Allyoucanbooks in malaysia and protect your rights

What Allyoucanbooks is and why cancellation matters

Allyoucanbooks is a recurring digital subscription service that grants unlimited access to over 200,000 audiobooks, e-books, podcasts, and online courses through a single membership. The service operates on an automatic renewal model, which means your account will charge you monthly until you actively cancel. Understanding this structure is essential because many Malaysian users discover unwanted recurring charges weeks after signing up, particularly after the 30-day free trial expires.

How the service works in malaysia

When you join Allyoucanbooks, you receive a 30-day trial period with full access to the entire content library. The trial converts automatically into a paid monthly subscription at RM109.99 (based on current USD conversion rates) unless you cancel before the trial ends. The service does not operate a minimum contract; you can cancel at any time. However, the company continues to bill your card every month until cancellation is complete, even if you have not used the service.

The platform is accessible to Malaysian users through the main website at allyoucanbooks.com. Support is offered via email ([email protected]) and phone (1-877-859-7527), with services stated as available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Billing occurs in US dollars and converts to Malaysian ringgit at your bank's exchange rate, which can vary from the displayed amount.

Why malaysian users typically cancel

Most cancellation requests come from trial users who forgot to cancel within the 30-day window, or from subscribers who realised the unlimited buffet model does not match their usage. Others cancel because exchange-rate fluctuations make the monthly charge higher than expected, or because local payment methods create billing delays. Yafee has documented that transparency around trial-to-paid conversion is a leading dispute trigger in the subscription sector across Southeast Asia.

Your legal position under malaysian consumer law

Your cancellation rights are grounded in the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), which applies to all contracts between consumers and traders in Malaysia. This statute grants you explicit protections when dealing with recurring subscriptions.

What the consumer protection act 1999 guarantees you

Under Section 9 of the CPA 1999, you have the right to cancel any distance contract (including online subscriptions) within 14 calendar days of receipt of goods or, in the case of services, from the date the contract is formed. For Allyoucanbooks, this means you can withdraw from the subscription contract within 14 days of sign-up without penalty, regardless of whether you have used the service. The company must process your withdrawal and refund any charges within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice.

Furthermore, Section 120D of the CPA 1999 specifically addresses automatic renewal contracts. The law requires that traders obtain your explicit, informed consent before charging your card for a recurring payment. The company must also provide you with clear, accessible cancellation instructions at the time of purchase and in your account dashboard. If Allyoucanbooks has not given you prominent, easy-to-find cancellation options, the company may be in breach of this requirement.

Your right to a refund

If you cancel within 14 days of joining, you are entitled to a full refund of all charges, even if you have used the service. The CPA 1999 does not allow traders to deduct usage fees or administrative costs from refunds on distance contracts. After 14 days, you can still cancel at any time to stop future charges, but refunds for the current billing period depend on your exact cancellation date and the company's refund policy as stated in the terms.

Should Allyoucanbooks refuse to refund you within the 14-day window, you can file a complaint with the Malaysian Competition Commission (MyCC) under the CPA 1999. The MyCC has enforcement powers to investigate breaches and compel traders to refund consumers. Yafee recommends documenting all communications with the company before escalating to the regulator.

How to cancel Allyoucanbooks step by step

Cancellation is straightforward when you follow the correct procedure and keep records of each action. The verified cancellation method is through the dedicated online cancellation page.

Gather your account details before you cancel

Before initiating cancellation, log into your Allyoucanbooks account and record the following information:

• Your billing date (the date your card is charged each month)
• Your current subscription status (trial or paid)
• The email address linked to your account
• Your card last four digits and the amount last charged

Take a screenshot of your subscription page showing the trial end date or the current plan details. If the trial ends soon, calculate the exact number of days remaining yourself rather than relying on app notifications. Save this documentation to a folder or email it to yourself. Yafee advises that these records protect you if a refund dispute arises later.

Navigate to the cancellation page

Open your web browser and visit the Allyoucanbooks cancellation page directly at allyoucanbooks.com/cancel. This dedicated page is the official cancellation route and is the most reliable method to process your request. Do not search for cancellation options within your account dashboard alone, as the company may not display the cancellation link prominently in the main menu.

If you are on a mobile device, the mobile web version may display differently. Switch to desktop view or use a computer if the mobile page does not load the cancellation form properly. Ensure your internet connection is stable before proceeding.

Complete the online cancellation form

1. Log into your account using your email and password
   • If you have forgotten your password, reset it via the login page before accessing the cancellation form
2. Confirm your account details (email, subscription type, billing date)
   • The form should pre-fill your information; verify each field for accuracy
3. Select your cancellation reason from the dropdown menu
   • Choose the option that reflects your actual reason (for example, "Not using the service", "Too expensive", "Found an alternative")
4. Review any final offer or discount the company may present
   • If you do not wish to accept a discounted rate, proceed to full cancellation
5. Click the submit button to complete the cancellation
   • The page should display a confirmation message immediately

Confirm cancellation via email

Within minutes of submitting the online form, check your email inbox (including spam folders) for a cancellation confirmation message from Allyoucanbooks. This email should state your cancellation effective date and confirm that no further charges will be applied. Save this email permanently.

If you do not receive a confirmation email within 2 hours, contact the support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Confirmation Request". Include your account email address and the date you submitted your cancellation. Yafee recommends sending this follow-up email the same day to establish a time-stamped record of your cancellation attempt.

Contact customer support if the online method fails

If the cancellation page does not load, displays an error, or refuses to process your request, contact the support team directly:

• Email: [email protected] - include "Urgent: Cancellation Request" in the subject line
• Phone: 1-877-859-7527 - available 24/7; request a cancellation confirmation number during the call
• Service hours: Available every day, including public holidays in Malaysia

In your email, state clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Allyoucanbooks subscription effective today. My account email is [your email]. Please confirm cancellation and provide the effective date." Send this from the email address registered to your account. Keep a copy of the email you send.

Pricing and what you are paying for

Understanding the cost structure helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice for your circumstances.

The monthly charge of RM109.99 is converted from the original US dollar price using the exchange rate at the time of billing. Your bank or card issuer will apply its own conversion margin, so the amount charged to your card may be slightly higher or lower than the displayed rate. For example, if the USD price is US$24.95 and the exchange rate is 4.41 MYR/USD, you may see RM110.00 to RM111.50 on your statement depending on your bank's margin.

How refunds work if you cancel within 14 days

If you cancel within 14 days of first joining, you are entitled to a refund of the full trial charge (if any) and the first monthly subscription charge under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.

Processing your refund

Allyoucanbooks must initiate the refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice. The refund is returned to the original payment method (your debit or credit card). Depending on your bank, the refund may take a further 3 to 5 business days to appear in your account. Some banks process refunds within 24 hours; others take longer during public holidays or weekends.

After you receive a refund confirmation email, monitor your bank statement for the credit. If the refund does not appear within 7 days, contact your bank's customer service to confirm the transaction status. Provide your bank with the cancellation confirmation email from Allyoucanbooks as proof of the refund authorisation.

Refunds after 14 days

Once the 14-day withdrawal period expires, you no longer have an automatic right to a refund. You can cancel to stop future charges, but the current month's charge is non-refundable in most cases. However, if your cancellation is processed before your next billing date, you will not be charged again. Yafee advises checking the exact cancellation effective date in your confirmation email to confirm when charges stop.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation is not the end of the story; several important events follow your cancellation request.

Your account access after cancellation

Once cancellation is confirmed, your access to the Allyoucanbooks content ends immediately or at the end of your current billing period, depending on the company's policy stated in the confirmation email. Read the confirmation carefully to identify the exact access end date. Some services allow you to keep access through the end of the month you paid for; others disable access immediately after cancellation confirmation.

The company does not clearly explain what happens to your downloaded content, bookmarks, or course progress after cancellation in the publicly available terms. If you have downloaded audiobooks or e-books for offline reading, those files may remain on your device, but you will not be able to download new content or access cloud-based progress after the cancellation date.

Re-joining after cancellation

If you cancel and later wish to rejoin, you may be eligible for another free trial, or the company may offer a discounted first month. However, the terms do not explicitly guarantee a second trial if you have already used one. Contact the support team if you cancel and later decide to return.

Check your bank statement

Monitor your bank or credit card statement for the next 30 days after your cancellation effective date. Confirm that no further charges appear. If a charge does appear after your cancellation confirmation date, this is a breach of the CPA 1999, and you have the right to dispute the charge with your bank and file a complaint with the Malaysian Competition Commission.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancellation disputes are rarely the company's fault alone; most stem from avoidable errors on the consumer's side. You can eliminate these problems by following the steps below.

Not cancelling before the trial ends

The single most common mistake is assuming the company will send you a reminder before the trial converts to a paid subscription. Allyoucanbooks does send notifications, but many users miss them because they go to spam folders, arrive at odd hours, or are buried under other emails. Mark your calendar for day 28 of your trial (two days before the end) and cancel proactively rather than waiting for a reminder.

Cancelling via email alone without confirmation

Sending an email to [email protected] is slower and creates ambiguity about whether the company received your request. Always use the dedicated cancellation page first. If you must email, send it from the account email address and request a cancellation confirmation number in the reply. Without written proof, the company may claim it never received your cancellation request.

Deleting cancellation confirmation emails

After you receive the cancellation confirmation email, move it to a separate folder or print it. Do not delete it or leave it only in your trash. If a charge appears after cancellation or if you later dispute the transaction with your bank, you must provide proof that cancellation was requested and confirmed. Your confirmation email is your strongest evidence.

Assuming your trial balance will stop charges automatically

Simply not using your Allyoucanbooks account does not cancel the subscription. Inactivity does not trigger cancellation; only an explicit cancellation request does. If you sign up for the trial and stop using the service, you must still submit a cancellation request before the 30 days end.

Comparison with similar services in malaysia

If you are unsure whether to cancel Allyoucanbooks or wish to explore alternatives, this table compares it with competing digital subscription services available to Malaysian users.

Yafee analysis shows that Allyoucanbooks offers the longest free trial and the broadest content mix (audiobooks, e-books, podcasts, and courses in one plan), making it competitive on value. However, it carries a higher monthly price than single-format competitors like Audible. If you primarily consume audiobooks, Audible is more cost-effective. If you want e-books and audiobooks only, Scribd or Kindle Unlimited may suit you better. Your cancellation decision should reflect whether Allyoucanbooks' content depth justifies the premium price.

How to escalate a cancellation dispute with the regulator

If Allyoucanbooks refuses to process your cancellation, denies a refund within 14 days, or charges you after you have cancelled, escalate your complaint to the Malaysian Competition Commission under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.

Filing a complaint with the malaysian competition commission

The Malaysian Competition Commission (MyCC) enforces the CPA 1999 and has the power to investigate trader breaches, order refunds, and impose penalties. You can file a formal complaint online at mycc.gov.my or in person at the MyCC office in Kuala Lumpur.

Prepare the following documents before filing:

• Your account email and the date you joined
• Screenshots of your subscription page before cancellation
• The cancellation confirmation email (or proof you submitted a cancellation request)
• Your bank statement showing the charge and any refund (or lack thereof)
• Any correspondence with Allyoucanbooks support

The MyCC will review your complaint and contact Allyoucanbooks to respond. The process typically takes 30 to 90 days. If the MyCC finds that the company breached the CPA 1999, it can order Allyoucanbooks to refund you and issue a formal enforcement notice to prevent similar breaches in future. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers escalate disputes to regulatory authorities, and the presence of documented evidence (screenshots, confirmation emails, and bank statements) significantly increases the likelihood of a successful outcome.

Disputing the charge with your bank

You also have the right to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card issuer. Contact your bank's dispute resolution team and provide proof of cancellation (the confirmation email). Most banks in Malaysia will investigate the dispute within 15 days and, if evidence supports you, will initiate a chargeback and refund the transaction. This process is separate from the MyCC complaint and does not prevent you from filing a regulatory complaint simultaneously.
