Frequently asked questions
Cancel Endnote: The Right Way
How to cancel EndNote in malaysia and protect your refund rights
What is EndNote and why researchers use it
EndNote is a reference management software owned by Clarivate that helps researchers, lecturers, postgraduate students, and academic writers organise citations and build bibliographies efficiently. The product is positioned as a full research workflow tool with citation management, AI-powered research support, and integration into word processors for manuscript preparation. Unlike casual mobile apps, EndNote operates in the same category as Zotero and Mendeley, but is typically marketed as a premium option for users who require desktop-heavy library management and advanced syncing capabilities.
Where EndNote sits in the research software market
EndNote has maintained a strong position in academic and professional research for over two decades. The software appeals to users who need comprehensive reference organisation, manuscript collaboration features, and institutional support. Many users in Malaysia access EndNote through a 30-day free trial period, which allows you to evaluate the software before committing to a paid subscription. If you signed up recently, you may still be within this trial window.
What you are actually paying for with a paid subscription
The main paid product is EndNote 2025, priced at RM1,180 (approximately USD $249.95 converted). This subscription grants you access to full reference management capabilities, citation insertion tools, cloud-based library syncing across devices, article organisation and tagging, and AI-powered research assistance features. The subscription model means you pay annually or monthly depending on the purchase option you select. Yafee recognises that many users feel uncertain about what they have actually committed to, which is why documenting your purchase details before cancellation is essential.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Your rights to cancel EndNote in Malaysia are protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which is administered by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNKX). This legislation grants you a statutory cooling-off period and protection against misleading contract terms.
The 14-day cooling-off period and refund eligibility
Under Section 11 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (which includes online purchases) within 14 calendar days of receiving your order or invoice, without providing a reason. This period applies to your purchase of EndNote, regardless of whether you have used the software or activated the licence key. The clock starts from the date you receive your order confirmation email from Clarivate, not from the date of purchase. You must submit your cancellation notice in writing before the 14-day window closes. If you purchased within the last 14 days, you retain the right to cancel and request a full refund under Malaysian consumer law.
Your legal position on cancellation and refunds
Your legal position: You have an unconditional right to cancel an online purchase of EndNote within 14 days of receipt under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Clarivate must refund the full amount you paid, including any processing fees, within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice. The company cannot impose penalties or retain fees for this statutory cancellation. If Clarivate refuses to refund you after 14 days have passed, or disputes your cancellation, you may lodge a complaint with the KPDNKX or pursue the matter through the Consumer Tribunal Malaysia. Yafee advises keeping all receipts, emails, and proof of payment for at least 12 months in case a dispute arises.
What happens after the 14-day window closes
After the 14-day cooling-off period expires, your cancellation rights depend on the terms of your subscription agreement with Clarivate. If your subscription includes an auto-renewal clause (as many do), you must cancel before the next renewal date to avoid being charged. The terms of service should specify the exact renewal date and cancellation deadlines, though Clarivate does not clearly display these in its public documentation. If you cancel after 14 days but before the next billing cycle, you may not receive a refund, but you will prevent future charges. Yafee recommends checking your email for any renewal notices and acting immediately upon receipt.
How to cancel EndNote without losing access prematurely
The cancellation process for EndNote depends entirely on where you purchased the software and whether you have an active subscription or trial account.
Check where you purchased EndNote before taking any action
Clarivate does not publish a single, centralised cancellation portal for all purchases. Instead, cancellations are handled through three distinct channels depending on your purchase method. First, identify which channel you used: direct purchase through Clarivate's website, a purchase through Apple App Store (for iPad or iPhone), or Google Play (for Android devices). Each channel requires a different cancellation procedure, and cancelling in the wrong place will not stop your subscription or prevent charges. Take a screenshot of your current subscription status and note the exact purchase date and method before proceeding.
Direct clarivate web purchase cancellation
If you purchased EndNote directly from Clarivate's website or through their online sales system, you must contact Clarivate support to cancel your subscription. Clarivate does not operate a self-service cancellation portal for web purchases, which is a significant gap in customer service transparency.
- Visit the Clarivate support contact page at endnote.com/contact/ or access the Asia-Pacific support portal through the EndNote help centre
- Select "Sales" or "Account Support" depending on the contact form available
- If no specific option exists, choose "General Inquiry" and state your intent to cancel
- Provide your full name, email address associated with the EndNote account, and your order or subscription reference number
- Include your purchase date and the email confirmation you received from Clarivate
- State clearly that you wish to cancel your subscription and request a refund if you are within 14 days of purchase
- Submit the form and await a response from Clarivate support
- Clarivate typically responds within 2 to 5 business days
- If no response arrives within 5 days, send a follow-up email or contact them again through the portal
- Once support confirms cancellation, request written confirmation that your subscription has been terminated
- Ask for confirmation that no further charges will be applied to your payment method
- Keep this confirmation email for your records
Cancellation for app store and google play purchases
If you downloaded and purchased EndNote through Apple's App Store or Google Play, your subscription is managed through those platforms, not directly by Clarivate. Cancelling through Clarivate support will not stop App Store or Google Play charges; you must cancel the subscription within the app store itself.
- For Apple App Store (iPhone, iPad):
- Open the App Store app and tap "Account" in the bottom navigation menu
- Tap "Subscriptions" and find EndNote in the list of active subscriptions
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your cancellation
- Apple will confirm the cancellation immediately and send you an email receipt
- For Google Play (Android devices):
- Open Google Play and tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Manage subscriptions" and locate the EndNote subscription
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts
- Google will confirm the cancellation and send a confirmation email to your registered account
- After cancellation through the app store, contact Clarivate support separately to inform them of the cancellation
- Provide your app store order number and the cancellation confirmation from Apple or Google
- Request that Clarivate deactivate your EndNote licence key to prevent any sync or access issues
Refund timelines and what to expect after cancellation
Once you have submitted a cancellation request, the timeline for processing and refund varies depending on your purchase channel and bank.
How long refunds take in malaysia
Clarivate typically processes refunds within 7 to 14 business days of confirming your cancellation. If you purchased through App Store or Google Play, the refund time depends on those platforms: Apple usually processes refunds within 5 to 7 business days, while Google Play may take up to 10 business days. Your bank may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to credit the funds to your account, depending on your financial institution's settlement cycle. In total, you should expect a full refund to appear in your account within 21 to 30 days of submitting your cancellation request. If no refund has appeared after 30 days, contact Clarivate or your bank to trace the payment.
What happens to your data and library after cancellation
After you cancel your EndNote subscription, your access to the online sync and collaboration features will be terminated. However, your local library files will remain on your computer or mobile device. To prevent loss of your research data, export your entire library to a file before cancelling. You can export your library as an XML or ENL file and import it into free alternatives such as Zotero or Mendeley if you wish to continue managing references. Clarivate does not delete your account data immediately after cancellation, but you should not rely on cloud access after the subscription ends. Yafee strongly recommends backing up all critical research materials before submitting your cancellation request.
Pricing summary for EndNote subscriptions in malaysia
Understanding the cost structure helps you calculate what you may be eligible to refund and whether the subscription justifies the expense.
| Plan type | Cost (MYR) | Billing cycle | Auto-renewal |
|---|---|---|---|
| EndNote 2025 annual licence | RM1,180 | 12 months | Yes (unless cancelled) |
| 30-day free trial | RM0 | 30 days (then auto-converts to paid) | Yes (automatic conversion) |
| Institutional or multi-user licence | Custom pricing (contact Clarivate) | Variable | As per agreement |
| Mobile app (iTunes / Google Play) | May vary by region | Monthly or annual | Yes (unless cancelled in app store) |
Common mistakes that delay cancellation or trigger unexpected charges
Cancellation frustration is entirely avoidable if you sidestep the pitfalls that catch most users. Below are the errors that cost time and money.
Cancelling in the wrong channel and not realising it
The most frequent mistake is contacting Clarivate directly to cancel when you actually purchased through App Store or Google Play. Your message to Clarivate may sit unread because your subscription is managed by Apple or Google, not by Clarivate. Meanwhile, the charges continue. Always verify your purchase invoice or receipt to confirm where the charge originated. If the charge appears under "Apple Inc" or "Google Ireland" rather than "Clarivate," you must cancel within that app store platform immediately. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your subscription management page in the app store as proof of cancellation.
Failing to cancel before the renewal date
EndNote typically auto-renews on the anniversary of your purchase or the date specified in your subscription terms. If you submit a cancellation request just days before the renewal date, Clarivate may still process the annual charge before your cancellation takes effect. To avoid this, cancel at least 7 days before your renewal date. If you miss this window and are charged, contact Clarivate immediately and request a refund for the duplicate charge, citing the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Yafee advises setting a phone reminder 10 days before your renewal date if you plan to cancel.
Not exporting your library before cancellation
Once your subscription ends, you lose access to cloud sync and may face restrictions on exporting your library if the software enforces access controls. Export your entire reference library to an offline file before submitting your cancellation request. This ensures you retain all your research data in a portable format that you can import into another platform if needed.
Ignoring renewal notices and assuming automatic cancellation
Cancelling your subscription does not prevent Clarivate from sending you renewal reminders or marketing emails. Conversely, ignoring a renewal notice does not cancel your subscription; you must actively submit a cancellation request. Read every email from Clarivate carefully, particularly those titled "Renewal Notice," "Your subscription expires," or "Your account will renew." These emails contain your exact renewal date and sometimes include a direct cancellation link. Do not assume silence or inaction will stop your charges.

What to do if clarivate refuses to cancel or refund you
If your cancellation request is denied or ignored, you have formal remedies under Malaysian consumer law.
Escalation steps when clarivate does not respond
First, send a formal cancellation request by email directly to Clarivate's support address (if available) or through their contact portal, copying yourself on the message. In the email, cite the Consumer Protection Act 1999 Section 11 and state your entitlement to a 14-day cooling-off refund if applicable, or your right to cancel at any time if you are outside the 14-day window. Request written confirmation of cancellation within 5 business days. If Clarivate does not respond or refuses your request without valid justification, escalate your complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNKX). You can file a complaint through the KPDNKX online portal or visit your nearest KPDNKX office in person. Yafee recommends providing all supporting documents: your purchase receipt, email correspondence with Clarivate, proof of cancellation attempts, and bank statements showing the charges.
Filing a complaint with the consumer authority in malaysia
The KPDNKX has the authority to investigate unfair contract terms, misleading statements, and breaches of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. If you lodge a complaint, the authority will contact Clarivate on your behalf and request a formal response. If the dispute cannot be resolved, you may escalate to the Consumer Tribunal Malaysia, which hears cases involving contracts up to RM100,000 in value. The tribunal process is faster and cheaper than civil court litigation. Yafee has supported thousands of consumers through this escalation pathway, and most disputes are resolved within 2 to 6 months.

Clarivate support contact information
Clarivate operates a centralised support portal for all regions, including the Asia-Pacific region (which covers Malaysia). You can reach Clarivate support through their website at endnote.com/contact/. Select the Asia-Pacific region and choose "Account Support" or "Sales" depending on your issue. Email responses typically arrive within 2 to 5 business days. For urgent matters, you may request a phone call through the contact form. Clarivate does not publish a physical mailing address for Malaysia, and all cancellations must be handled via their online support portal or email.
Ministry of domestic trade and cost of living (KPDNKX) contact details
If Clarivate does not respond to your cancellation or refund request within 14 days, or if you believe your consumer rights have been violated, file a complaint with the KPDNKX. You can lodge a complaint online through the KPDNKX portal at kpdnkx.gov.my or visit your nearest KPDNKX office during business hours. The KPDNKX has enforcement powers under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and can compel Clarivate to issue refunds or cancel subscriptions. Yafee encourages you to include all supporting documents when you submit your complaint to accelerate the investigation.
Consumer tribunal malaysia
If your complaint to the KPDNKX is not resolved within 60 days, you may file an application with the Consumer Tribunal Malaysia. The tribunal hears cases involving consumer contracts up to RM100,000 and applies the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Filing fees are minimal (typically RM10 to RM30), and you do not require a lawyer to represent you. The tribunal process is informal and faster than civil litigation, with decisions usually delivered within 2 to 3 months. Contact the Consumer Tribunal Malaysia through the KPDNKX website for hearing dates and submission procedures.
Final summary and next steps
Cancelling EndNote in Malaysia is a straightforward process if you understand which channel you used to purchase and what consumer protections apply. Your right to cancel is backed by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which gives you a 14-day cooling-off period for online purchases and ongoing protection against unfair contract terms. Document your purchase details, export your library before cancelling, and submit your cancellation through the correct channel: Clarivate support for direct web purchases, or the App Store or Google Play for app-based subscriptions. Expect your refund within 21 to 30 days if you are within the 14-day window. If Clarivate refuses to cancel or refund you, escalate your complaint to the KPDNKX or file an application with the Consumer Tribunal Malaysia.
