How to cancel Numerade and stop auto-renewal charges in malaysia
What Numerade is and why you might want to cancel
Numerade is an online education platform that delivers video explanations, AI tutoring, and study tools through a recurring subscription model. You subscribe to access more than 200 million video solutions, unlimited custom video Q&A, the Ace AI Tutor, and flashcard features. The service operates entirely online with no physical office in Malaysia, meaning all cancellation and support interactions occur via email or the Numerade Help Center. Understanding what you are paying for and how auto-renewal works is the first step toward cancelling without incurring unwanted charges.
The subscription model and free trial trap
Numerade offers a 7-day free trial that converts into a paid subscription automatically unless you cancel before the trial period ends. This is a critical point: the trial is not truly free if you do not act. Your card gets charged on day eight unless you have already submitted a cancellation request. Many users sign up quickly during exam season and forget the trial expires, then discover recurring charges weeks later when reviewing their bank statement.
Current pricing in malaysia
Numerade publishes pricing in USD. The monthly plan costs USD $29.95 (approximately RM 141 at current exchange rates), and the annual plan costs USD $95.90 (approximately RM 453). The annual option appears cheaper per month but commits you to a longer billing cycle. If you hold an annual subscription and want to cancel, you remain liable for charges until your contract period ends, unless Numerade grants a refund under its own terms or Malaysia's consumer protection framework applies.
Your legal position and consumer rights in malaysia
Your right to cancel a subscription in Malaysia is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which governs unfair contract terms and gives you rights over online transactions. The Act requires that any company offering services (including online subscriptions) must provide clear, transparent information about charges, renewal dates, and how to cancel. Numerade must honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe and cease charges immediately once you have submitted a valid cancellation.
What the consumer protection act 1999 guarantees
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 mandates that subscription services must not use unfair terms that trap consumers into auto-renewal. You have the right to receive clear cancellation instructions before purchase, the right to cancel without penalty (beyond the charges already incurred), and the right to dispute any charge if the company fails to honour your cancellation. If Numerade refuses to stop charging you after a valid cancellation request, you can lodge a complaint with the Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP), which enforces consumer protection across all sectors including digital services.
Your legal position
You are entitled to: cancel your subscription at any time by submitting a valid cancellation request to [email protected] or via the Numerade Help Center; receive a confirmation of cancellation by email within 24 to 48 hours; have all automatic charges cease immediately following confirmed cancellation; and dispute any charges incurred after your confirmed cancellation date through your credit card issuer or the KPDNHEP if Numerade does not refund them.
Step-by-step guide to cancel Numerade
Cancellation via the Numerade website is the most direct method because you retain a record of the request and receive an on-screen confirmation. Yafee recommends starting with this web-based approach before attempting other contact methods. The entire process typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on whether you are cancelling an active subscription or a trial.
Cancel through the Numerade website account portal
Log into your Numerade account using your registered email address and password. Navigate to your account settings or billing section. This section is usually labeled "Manage Subscription," "Billing," or "Account Settings" and contains your current plan details and renewal date.
- Open numerade.com in your web browser
- Click the account icon or "Log In" in the top right corner
- Enter your registered email address and password
- Click "My Account" or navigate to the account dashboard
- Locate "Manage Subscription" or "Billing Settings"
- If you do not see this option immediately, check under "Account Settings" or "Payment Methods"
- Take a screenshot of this page before proceeding
- Select the active subscription and click "Cancel Subscription"
- Confirm any prompts asking whether you want to proceed (Numerade may offer a discount to keep you subscribed; ignore this unless you choose to stay)
- Wait for the on-screen confirmation message
- Check your email (including spam and promotions folders) for a cancellation confirmation email within 2 hours
- Save or screenshot the confirmation email as proof of cancellation
Cancel via email if the website option is unavailable
If you cannot locate the cancellation button on the website or the system returns an error, contact Numerade support directly by email. This method creates a written record and is particularly useful if you later need to dispute a charge or escalate a complaint to the KPDNHEP.
- Open your email client and compose a new message
- Address the email to [email protected]
- Write a clear subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Request"
- Include in the email body:
- Your full name as registered on the account
- Your email address linked to the Numerade account
- Your account ID (if available; check your account settings or a receipt)
- Your current subscription plan (monthly or annual)
- Your next billing date
- A single sentence: "I request that my Numerade subscription be cancelled effective immediately, and that no further charges be applied to my account."
- Send the email and wait 24 to 48 hours for a response
- If you do not receive a confirmation email, send a follow-up email to [email protected] or submit a request via the Numerade Help Center at numerade.zendesk.com
- Save all email correspondence as evidence
Cancel via the Numerade help center support ticket
Numerade maintains a Help Center ticketing system at numerade.zendesk.com where you can submit a support request. This method ensures your cancellation is logged in Numerade's support system and creates a trackable ticket number for reference.
- Visit numerade.zendesk.com in your web browser
- Click "Submit a request" or the "Help" button
- Select "Account & Subscription" or "Billing" from the category dropdown
- Enter your subject line: "Cancel my subscription"
- In the message field, provide:
- Your account email address
- Your subscription plan type (monthly or annual)
- Your renewal date
- A clear request: "I want to cancel my subscription and have no further charges applied."
- Attach a screenshot of your account billing page if possible
- Submit the ticket and note the ticket number provided
- Check your email for a ticket confirmation and monitor for updates from the Numerade support team
Cancel an app store or google play subscription
If you subscribed to Numerade through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (rather than the Numerade website directly), you must cancel through the app platform, not Numerade itself. App Store and Google Play subscriptions are managed separately, and Numerade does not control these cancellations directly.
For Apple App Store (iOS):
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner
- Tap "Subscriptions"
- Find Numerade in the list and tap it
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm
- You will see a cancellation confirmation on screen
For Google Play Store (Android):
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Tap "Payments and subscriptions" and then "Subscriptions"
- Find Numerade and tap it
- Tap "Cancel Subscription"
- Select your reason (optional) and confirm cancellation
Important checks before and after you cancel
Taking these precautions prevents confusion, missed confirmation emails, and disputes over billing dates. Yafee strongly advises completing these steps to protect yourself.
Before you submit your cancellation
Document your current account status by taking screenshots of your subscription page, billing date, and current plan name. This gives you proof of your account state on the cancellation date, which is invaluable if a dispute arises later.
- Open your Numerade account and navigate to the subscription or billing section
- Take a full-page screenshot showing your plan name, monthly or annual status, renewal date, and payment method
- Note the exact date and time you are cancelling (write it down or take a timestamped screenshot)
- Check whether you have any active promotional credit or trial period remaining
- Verify your payment method on file (the card that will be charged on the next renewal date)
Immediate steps after you receive cancellation confirmation
Once you receive a cancellation confirmation email or on-screen message, take these protective steps to ensure no future charges occur.
- Save the cancellation confirmation email or take a screenshot of the confirmation message
- Forward or copy the confirmation to a personal email folder titled "Cancelled Subscriptions" for future reference
- Log back into your Numerade account within 24 hours and verify that your subscription status now shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive"
- Make a note of your cancellation date and store it with your receipts and financial records
- Monitor your credit card or payment method for any charges on or after your renewal date
- If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, gather all evidence (confirmation email, screenshots, payment record) and contact your bank or card issuer immediately
What happens to your account and data after cancellation
Numerade's privacy policy states that your account data is retained after cancellation, meaning you retain some access to your account for a limited period. However, all paid features (video solutions, AI tutor, custom Q&A) become inaccessible once your subscription ends. You do not automatically receive an export of your notes or study materials, so you should download or save any critical information before or immediately after cancellation.
Protecting your study materials
Before cancelling, download or export any personal notes, study lists, or progress reports you may need later. Numerade does not provide an automated export function in its standard Help Center documentation, so manual copying or screenshotting may be necessary.
- Open each study session or note you want to keep
- Copy and paste the content into a personal document (Google Docs, Word, or Notion)
- Take screenshots of any visual aids, flashcards, or progress charts
- Email yourself these files as a backup
Re-subscribing or reactivating your account
If you cancel and later want to resubscribe, you can sign up again using the same email address. Numerade treats this as a new subscription, and you will likely qualify for another 7-day free trial. However, Yafee recommends setting a phone or calendar reminder for the trial expiration date so you do not accidentally get charged again.
Refunds and chargebacks for cancelled subscriptions
Numerade's refund policy is not detailed in its publicly available Help Center materials, which is a compliance issue under consumer protection law. Consequently, your entitlement to a refund depends on when you cancel and whether you have grounds under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 or your credit card issuer's chargeback rights.
Refunds within the first billing cycle
If you cancel within your first full month (or 14 days if you are still within a free trial), you may have grounds to request a refund because Malaysian consumer law permits a withdrawal period for distance contracts. You should not be charged for a service you did not use. Submit a refund request by email to [email protected] stating that you are within your withdrawal period and requesting a full refund.
Refunds after the first month or annual commitment
If you have already been charged for a full month or year and cancel afterward, Numerade is unlikely to offer a refund unless you can demonstrate a technical fault or breach of contract. Nevertheless, you may challenge the charge through your credit card issuer by filing a chargeback if Numerade does not honour your cancellation or continues to charge you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request.
How to request a chargeback through your bank
Contact your credit card company or bank directly if Numerade continues to charge you after you have cancelled and provided proof of cancellation.
- Gather all evidence: cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of the cancellation, your account statement showing the disputed charge
- Call the customer service number on your credit card or bank statement
- Inform the representative that you have cancelled a subscription but are being charged in error
- Provide your evidence and ask to file a dispute or chargeback
- The bank will investigate and typically reverse the charge within 5 to 10 business days if your evidence is clear
- Keep all correspondence with your bank
Common mistakes that trap you into continued charging
Cancellation failures are rarely due to technical issues; they usually stem from oversights that are easily avoidable. Being alert to these traps means you will avoid the frustration of discovering unexpected charges weeks after you thought you had cancelled.
Assuming cancellation without confirmation
The most common mistake is closing the browser tab or app after clicking "cancel" without waiting for an on-screen confirmation message or email. Numerade's system may not process your cancellation if you navigate away too quickly, and you will not discover this until your card is charged at renewal. Always wait for the confirmation message and check your email within 2 hours.
Forgetting the trial expiration date
If you signed up for the 7-day free trial and intended to cancel before it expires but did not set a reminder, you will be charged on day eight. The trial period is specific and non-negotiable, so set a phone or calendar alert for the expiration date at least 48 hours before your card gets charged. This single step prevents the majority of unwanted Numerade charges.
Cancelling on the wrong platform
Users who subscribe via the App Store or Google Play often attempt to cancel on the Numerade website, which does not process app-based subscriptions. The charge continues because the platform-specific subscription remains active. Always cancel through the same platform on which you subscribed: website cancellations for web sign-ups, App Store for iOS, and Google Play for Android.
Ignoring the renewal date
If you cancel your annual subscription, your access continues until the end of your paid period, but you may forget that your next renewal is 12 months away. Numerade will charge you again on that date unless you have formally cancelled. Mark your calendar for the annual renewal date and confirm cancellation 30 days beforehand to eliminate any doubt.
When to escalate your complaint to the consumer authority
If Numerade refuses to stop charging you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request and provided all necessary evidence, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with Malaysia's consumer protection authority. Yafee advises escalating only after you have made a reasonable attempt to resolve the issue directly with Numerade (at least two emails or support tickets over a 7-day period).
Filing a complaint with the malaysian ministry of domestic trade and cost of living
The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Permukaan, or KPDNHEP) enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and investigates complaints about unfair trading and subscription services.
- Gather all evidence: cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots of your account status, bank statements showing disputed charges, all correspondence with Numerade support
- Visit the KPDNHEP complaints portal at konsumer.gov.my or the MyCC online complaint system
- Complete the complaint form with:
- Your full name, address, and contact information
- Numerade's service details and your account email
- A chronological description of events (trial sign-up, cancellation date, charge date, support requests)
- All supporting evidence uploaded as files or images
- Submit the complaint and note the reference number provided
- The KPDNHEP will contact Numerade and request a response within 14 days
- You will be notified of the outcome and any remedial action (refund, account credit, or formal caution to the company)

Key takeaways and next steps
Cancelling Numerade is straightforward once you know the correct process and potential pitfalls. You have the legal right under Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 to cancel your subscription at any time and to stop auto-renewal charges. The most reliable cancellation method is via the Numerade website account portal, which provides immediate on-screen confirmation and a follow-up email within 2 hours. If the website option fails, use the email or Help Centre ticket route to create a written record that protects you if a dispute arises later.
