How to cancel Lucidpress in malaysia and avoid duplicate charges
What Lucidpress is and why malaysian users subscribe
Lucidpress is a cloud-based design platform that lets you create marketing materials without specialist software experience. You access the service through your web browser and pay a monthly subscription for templates, storage, and collaboration features instead of purchasing desktop design software outright.
How Lucidpress operates as a software-as-a-service platform
The service sits in the publishing and design software category, where recurring billing is the standard model. You do not own the software; instead, you rent access to it month by month. This means your account and designs remain active only while your subscription is current. Once you stop paying, the company may disable access after a set period, though you should be able to export your work before that happens.
According to Yafee's research into SaaS cancellation practices, many users in Malaysia choose Lucidpress because the platform requires no installation, no desktop licenses, and no upfront investment. The free trial period lets you test the platform before committing money. However, if you do not cancel the trial before the trial period ends, the system converts your account to a paid subscription automatically.
Main subscription tiers and what each includes
Lucidpress offers three main paid plans. The Individual plan costs USD 9.99 per month (approximately RM47 at current exchange rates). The Team plan costs USD 19.99 per month (approximately RM94). The Enterprise plan costs USD 39.99 per month (approximately RM189). These are approximate conversions only; actual MYR charges may vary depending on your payment method and the exchange rate on your billing date.

Your consumer rights and what malaysian law requires
Malaysian consumer protection law gives you specific rights when you cancel a subscription service, and it is important to understand them before you begin the cancellation process.
Protection under the consumer protection act 1999
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 is the primary framework that governs your rights as a consumer in Malaysia. Under this Act, any service provider-including Lucidpress-must give you accurate information about the subscription terms, the cost, the cancellation method, and any automatic renewal clause. If the company fails to provide clear information, or if you discover the terms are unfair, you have grounds to challenge the charge.
Section 88 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999 specifically addresses distance contracts (contracts entered online or by phone). This means that when you subscribed to Lucidpress online, the company had a legal duty to confirm the subscription details to you in writing and to provide you with a clear cancellation mechanism. If that mechanism is deliberately hidden or difficult to find, the company is in breach of the Act.
Your legal position before you cancel
You have the right to cancel your subscription without penalty once the initial contract term (usually one billing cycle) is complete. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 does not mandate a specific "cooling-off" period for online services after signature, but best practice and international consumer standards require that you be able to cancel within one billing cycle without financial loss beyond what you have already paid.
If Lucidpress charges you after you have cancelled, or if you are charged during your free trial because the company did not process your cancellation request, you have the right to dispute the charge and demand a refund. The enforcement authority in Malaysia is the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCL), which oversees consumer protection. Yafee recommends that you keep all evidence of your cancellation request-screenshots, email confirmations, dates, and card statements-so that you can file a complaint with MDTCCL if necessary.
Where Lucidpress billing comes from and how to check your subscription method
Before you cancel, you must identify which platform processed your original subscription, because cancellation methods differ depending on where you signed up.
Subscription sources and why it matters
Lucidpress allows subscriptions through three main routes: directly on the Lucidpress website, through the Apple App Store (on iPhone and iPad), or through Google Play (on Android devices). If you subscribed on the web, you cancel through your Lucidpress account. If you subscribed through an app store, you must cancel through that app store, not through Lucidpress itself. Cancelling in the wrong place is a common reason why charges continue after users believe they have cancelled.
To find out where your subscription started, open your email and search for the original receipt from Lucidpress. The email will state whether the charge came from "Lucidpress Inc." (web subscription), "Apple Media Services" (App Store), or "Google Play Billing" (Google Play). Your card statement will also show the billing descriptor-the name that appears on your bank or credit card bill. Yafee advises checking both your email and your statement because discrepancies sometimes occur.

What happens after you cancel and when charges will stop
Understanding the cancellation timeline prevents unnecessary worry about charges after you have submitted your request.
Access and timeline after cancellation
Once you submit a cancellation request through any platform (web, App Store, or Google Play), Lucidpress will honour your request on the renewal date. This means you retain full access to your account and all your designs until the end of the current billing cycle. You do not lose access immediately. For example, if your next billing date is 15 March and you cancel on 1 March, you keep your account until 15 March, after which the subscription ends and your access is removed or downgraded to a free tier (if one exists).
The company will not charge you again after your subscription expires, provided that the cancellation request was successfully processed. However, if you receive a charge after your stated cancellation date, that indicates a processing error or a failure to cancel properly. In that case, contact Lucidpress support immediately and escalate the complaint to MDTCCL if the charge is not reversed within 7 working days.
Exporting your work before access ends
- After you cancel but while you still have access, log in to your account
- Open each design or project you wish to keep
- Look for an Export, Download, or Share option in the menu
- Choose a file format (PDF, PNG, or SVG depending on your needs)
- Download each file and save it to your computer or cloud storage
- Do this well before your cancellation date to avoid last-minute issues
Refund eligibility and how to claim one if you are entitled
Refund entitlement depends on when you cancel and the circumstances surrounding the charge.
When Lucidpress must issue a refund
According to the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you are entitled to a refund if: (1) you cancelled within the first billing cycle and the company has not delivered the service as described; (2) you were charged during a free trial because Lucidpress failed to cancel automatically when the trial ended; (3) the company charged you after you submitted a valid cancellation request; or (4) the charge was unauthorised or fraudulent.
You are generally not entitled to a refund simply because you changed your mind, as long as you have had access to the service for the full billing period. However, Lucidpress may offer a partial refund or credit as a gesture of goodwill; this is at the company's discretion but worth requesting if you have used the service only minimally.
How to request a refund
- Gather evidence: screenshots of your cancellation request, the cancellation confirmation, and your card statement showing the charge
- Visit the Lucidpress Help centre at lucidpress.com/pages/help
- Look for a Contact Support or Submit a Ticket option
- Select a category like Billing or Subscription Issue
- Describe what happened: the date you cancelled, the date you were charged, and why you believe you deserve a refund
- Attach your screenshots as supporting evidence
- Submit the ticket and note the ticket number or reference code
- Wait for a response within 5 to 7 working days
- If Lucidpress denies your refund claim and you believe the decision is unfair, escalate to MDTCCL with a copy of your support ticket and evidence
Common mistakes people make when cancelling and how to avoid them
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward once you know the pitfalls, and the vast majority of Malaysians who follow these steps complete the process without problems.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place
Many users cancel through the website but forget that their billing started on the App Store, so the app store subscription remains active. Always verify your billing source (web, App Store, or Google Play) and cancel through the same platform. Yafee's consumer research shows this is the single most common reason for unexpected charges after a supposed cancellation.
Mistake 2: not saving cancellation confirmation
Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation screen before you close the browser or app. If a charge appears later and Lucidpress disputes your claim, the screenshot proves you cancelled on a specific date. Without it, your word against theirs becomes difficult to substantiate, especially if the support team is unresponsive.
Mistake 3: confusing trial cancellation with account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account or your designs. Your account remains on file, and Lucidpress can use your email address to contact you with offers or to reactivate your subscription if you later change your mind. If you want to delete your account entirely, contact support directly and ask for a full account deletion, not just a subscription cancellation.
Mistake 4: assuming immediate access loss
Your account does not disappear the moment you cancel. You retain access until the end of your billing cycle. Some users panic when they see the cancellation confirmation and think they have lost their designs immediately. They do not; you have until the next billing date.

What to do if Lucidpress will not cancel your subscription
In the rare event that Lucidpress refuses to honour your cancellation request or charges you again after you have cancelled, follow this escalation path.
Step 1: document everything and contact support
- Collect all screenshots of cancellation confirmations, billing pages, and card statements
- Note the exact dates and times of all cancellation attempts
- Go to lucidpress.com/pages/help and submit a formal support ticket explaining the issue
- Attach all your evidence
- Give Lucidpress 5 working days to respond
Step 2: request a chargeback from your bank if charges continue
- If Lucidpress does not respond or refuses to refund or cancel, contact your bank immediately
- Ask your bank to initiate a chargeback dispute for any charges after your cancellation date
- Provide your bank with screenshots and the support ticket reference number
- Your bank will investigate and reverse the charge if evidence supports your claim
Step 3: file a complaint with MDTCCL
- If the chargeback does not resolve the issue, file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living
- Visit the MDTCCL online complaint portal at www.mdtcc.gov.my
- Select Consumer Complaints and fill in the complaint form
- Attach all evidence including screenshots, emails, support tickets, and bank statements
- MDTCCL will investigate and may issue a directive to Lucidpress to refund you or cease the unauthorised charges

Lucidpress does not maintain a physical office in Malaysia, as it is a United States-based SaaS company. All support and billing inquiries go through the online help centre or email. The official support page is lucidpress.com/pages/help, and you can also view the full terms and conditions at lucidpress.com/pages/terms.
If Lucidpress fails to respond to your support ticket within 7 working days, or if the company refuses to cancel or refund you, escalate your complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCL). You can file a consumer complaint through their online portal at www.mdtcc.gov.my or contact their consumer hotline for guidance on your specific situation.
For urgent billing disputes or unauthorised charges, contact your bank or credit card provider immediately and request a chargeback. Malaysian financial institutions are required to investigate such claims within 30 days under Bank Negara Malaysia guidelines.
