How to cancel Beamjobs in malaysia and protect your consumer rights
What Beamjobs is and why you might want to cancel
Beamjobs is a subscription software service built for job seekers who need help with resume creation, cover letter writing, and job application strategy. The platform uses artificial intelligence to generate personalised resume content and cover letters, and charges a recurring monthly fee for access to these tools.
Beamjobs as a resume and job-search software service
The service is operated by qualifIQ, Inc., a company based in New York, United States. When you sign up in Malaysia, you are entering into a contract governed by United States law, not Malaysian consumer protection law. That distinction matters because it affects where you can file a complaint and what remedies you can claim if something goes wrong.
Beamjobs does not maintain a physical office or local telephone support line in Malaysia. Your only documented contact route is email support to [email protected], or the web form at beamjobs.com/contact-us. The Terms of Service are hosted at beamjobs.com/terms-of-service and do not specify a detailed cancellation procedure. This lack of clarity is why many Malaysian users find cancellation harder than signup.
What you actually pay for
The monthly subscription costs RM140.00 per billing cycle, which Beamjobs describes as equivalent to $34.99 every four weeks. This is a recurring charge, not a one-time payment. If you signed up thinking you would pay once and own a resume forever, you are at risk of surprise charges each month until you actively cancel.
The paid plan includes AI-powered resume generation, personalised cover letter creation, resume scoring, and application tracking support. Many job seekers in Malaysia find these features useful for a single job hunt, but then forget to cancel, leading to unwanted monthly charges.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Beamjobs in malaysia
How the consumer protection act 1999 protects you
Although Beamjobs is a foreign company governed by United States law, you retain certain rights as a Malaysian consumer under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599). This law requires that all goods and services supplied to you must be of acceptable quality, safe, and fit for purpose.
Furthermore, the Consumer Protection Act 1999 grants you a statutory right to cancel any distance contract (including online subscriptions) within 14 days from the date you accept the contract. This cooling-off period applies even if the service terms try to restrict it. You do not need to provide a reason for cancellation during this window, and the company must refund your payment within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice.
Your legal position: If you cancel Beamjobs within 14 days of your initial purchase, Beamjobs must refund your payment in full under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. If you cancel after 14 days, your right to a refund depends on the contract terms and whether the service has failed to meet acceptable quality standards. If Beamjobs continues to charge you after you submit a valid cancellation request, you have grounds to lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCL), which enforces consumer protection law in Malaysia.
Your right to cancel a recurring subscription
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 requires that companies must allow you to cancel a subscription or recurring contract easily and at no extra cost. In practical terms, this means Beamjobs cannot impose an early-termination fee, and you should not have to call a phone number, speak to a person, or jump through hoops to cancel.
Consequently, if Beamjobs refuses to process your cancellation request, or if it charges you a penalty fee, you can escalate your complaint to the MDTCCL. The Ministry has the power to investigate consumer complaints, order the company to refund charges, and impose financial penalties on the business.
Methods to cancel Beamjobs and how they compare
Email cancellation: your documented route
Beamjobs does not publish an in-app cancellation button or a dedicated cancellation form on its website. Your primary cancellation method is email. Send a clear written request to [email protected] stating that you want to cancel your subscription effective immediately.
In-app account settings: check for a subscription manager
Log in to your Beamjobs account and navigate to your account settings or billing page. Some subscription services allow you to cancel directly from the dashboard, though Beamjobs does not advertise this feature in its publicly available Terms of Service. If you find a cancellation option in the app, use it and keep a screenshot as proof.
Web contact form: a secondary route
Visit beamjobs.com/contact-us and submit a cancellation request through the web form. Include your full name, email address, account username, and the date you want the cancellation to take effect. Keep a record of your submission time and date.

Step-by-step guide to cancelling Beamjobs without complications
Step 1: gather your account and billing information before you cancel
Before you submit a cancellation request, prepare your evidence. Log in to Beamjobs and take screenshots of the following:
- Your account dashboard showing your username and email address
- Open your account settings page
- Take a full-page screenshot
- Save the file with today's date in the filename
- Your subscription or billing page showing the active plan, renewal date, and charge amount (RM140.00)
- Navigate to Billing or Subscriptions section
- Capture the next billing date clearly
- Note the currency and amount
- Your latest invoice or payment receipt from your bank statement
- Export or screenshot the transaction
- Include the transaction ID and timestamp
- Any resume or cover letter you want to keep from Beamjobs
- Download as PDF or Word file to your computer
- Do not rely on Beamjobs to store it after cancellation
Step 2: send your cancellation request by email
Compose a clear, professional email to [email protected]. Include the following information in the body:
- State your purpose clearly in the subject line
- Write: "Subscription cancellation request - [your email address]"
- Provide your full name, registered email address, and Beamjobs username
- Example: "I am writing to cancel my Beamjobs account registered to [email protected] (username: johntanmy)"
- State the cancellation date you require
- Write: "Please cancel my subscription effective immediately" or "effective [date]"
- If you want to use remaining time before the next billing date, specify that date
- Request confirmation of cancellation in writing
- Ask: "Please confirm in writing that my subscription has been cancelled and provide the date when billing will stop"
- Keep the email professional and factual - do not use angry language
- Companies are more likely to process cancellations quickly when requests are calm and clear
Step 3: wait for confirmation and check your next billing cycle
Beamjobs usually responds to cancellation requests within 24 to 72 hours. Watch your inbox for a reply. When you receive confirmation, save that email and the entire thread to a safe folder on your computer or cloud storage.
In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the company must stop charging you on the next billing date after they receive your cancellation request. If you received confirmation, note that date. If RM140.00 appears on your bank statement after the confirmed cancellation date, you have evidence of an illegal charge and can file a complaint with the MDTCCL.
Step 4: use the web contact form as a backup
If you do not receive a response to your email within 3 business days, submit a second cancellation request through beamjobs.com/contact-us. Include the same information and a note that this is a follow-up to your email of [date]. Take a screenshot of the form submission screen before you click send.
Step 5: monitor your billing for the next two cycles
After cancellation, check your credit card or bank statement for the next two billing periods to ensure Beamjobs has stopped charging you. If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, gather the following evidence:
- A copy of your cancellation confirmation email from Beamjobs
- A screenshot or statement showing the unauthorised charge
- The date range over which you submitted your cancellation request
Refunds and what you can expect after cancellation
Refund rights under malaysian consumer law
If you cancel Beamjobs within 14 days of your initial subscription purchase, the Consumer Protection Act 1999 entitles you to a full refund. Beamjobs must process this refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice. You do not need to wait until the end of your billing cycle.
If you cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period, your refund right depends on the contract terms and service quality. Many users discover that Beamjobs' Terms of Service do not promise any refund for cancellations after day 14. However, if the service has been defective, unsafe, or unfit for purpose, you may still claim a refund under section 73 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
What happens to your data and content after cancellation
After Beamjobs cancels your subscription, you will lose access to your account dashboard and the AI tools. This is why Yafee recommends you download your resume and cover letters before you submit your cancellation request. Beamjobs does not guarantee how long it will store your data after cancellation, and you may not be able to retrieve those files later.
Chargeback and payment reversal as a backup
If Beamjobs charges you after a confirmed cancellation, and does not refund the amount within 14 days, you have the right to request a chargeback from your bank or credit card company. Contact your bank and provide the following:
- Your Beamjobs cancellation confirmation email
- Screenshots of your billing and account pages showing cancellation
- Bank statements showing the unauthorised charge
- Dates and times of all cancellation attempts
Understanding what you pay helps you decide whether cancellation is right for you.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Beamjobs
Do not assume cancellation happens automatically
Many users mistakenly believe that simply stopping the use of Beamjobs will trigger automatic cancellation. This is false. Beamjobs will continue to charge your payment method every 4 weeks unless you explicitly submit a cancellation request. If you have not heard from the company after 3 business days, assume they have not processed your request and send a follow-up email or contact form submission.
Do not forget to download your data first
Once Beamjobs cancels your subscription, you lose access to your account and cannot download your resume or cover letters. If you need these documents for other job applications, you must save them before you submit your cancellation request. Yafee strongly recommends exporting all content to PDF or Word format and storing it on your computer or cloud drive.
Do not rely on verbal or chat cancellations alone
If Beamjobs offers live chat support, do not rely on a chat conversation as your only cancellation method. Chat transcripts are easy to lose, and support staff may not process the request. Always follow up with a written email to [email protected] that clearly states your cancellation request and includes your account details. Email creates a paper trail that protects you under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
Do not ignore billing for two cycles after cancellation
Watch your bank statement closely for the two billing periods immediately after you receive cancellation confirmation. If RM140.00 or any amount appears after the confirmed cancellation date, report it to your bank immediately and provide a copy of the cancellation confirmation email. Do not assume the charge will reverse on its own.
After cancellation: what happens to your account and data
Your access ends on the cancellation date
Once Beamjobs processes your cancellation, your login credentials will stop working immediately or at the end of your paid cycle, depending on the company's policy. You will no longer be able to access the AI resume builder, cover letter generator, or job tracking tools. Any unsaved work in your account will be inaccessible.
Billing stops on your next scheduled date
Beamjobs will not charge you on the next billing date after your cancellation is confirmed. If you are currently in the middle of a 4-week cycle when you cancel, Beamjobs may allow you to use the service until the end of that cycle. Clarify this in your cancellation email to avoid confusion: write "Please cancel effective immediately" if you want access to stop right away, or "Please cancel at the end of my current billing cycle" if you want to use the remainder of your paid time.
Your data retention rights
Under Malaysian data protection principles, Beamjobs should not retain your personal information longer than necessary. Once you cancel, Beamjobs can delete your account data after a reasonable period, typically 30 to 90 days. If you want your account data deleted faster, request it in your cancellation email: "Please confirm that all my personal information and account data will be permanently deleted within 30 days of this cancellation."
If Beamjobs refuses to cancel: your enforcement options
Escalation to the ministry of domestic trade and cost of living
If Beamjobs refuses to process your cancellation request, or continues to charge you after a confirmed cancellation, you can file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCL). The MDTCCL enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and has the power to investigate complaints, order refunds, and impose penalties on the business.
To file a complaint, visit the MDTCCL website or visit a local office. Provide the following evidence:
- Copies of all cancellation requests and confirmation emails
- Screenshots of your Beamjobs account showing the active subscription and billing details
- Bank statements showing charges after the cancellation date
- Copies of any responses (or lack thereof) from Beamjobs support
Chargeback through your bank as a last resort
If the MDTCCL investigation is slow or unsuccessful, you can request a chargeback from your bank. A chargeback reverses an unauthorised or disputed charge on your credit card or debit account. Contact your bank's disputes team and provide the same evidence you submitted to the MDTCCL. The bank will typically resolve a chargeback within 30 to 60 days.
Small claims court as a final option
If the disputed amount is less than RM5,000, you can file a claim in the Small Claims Court under Malaysian civil law. This is a more affordable and faster route than regular court litigation. Yafee recommends consulting a local legal advisor before pursuing this step.
