How to cancel Unison in malaysia and protect your subscription rights
What is Unison and why users cancel
Unison is a subscription-based software-as-a-service platform designed for music production, MIDI file management, and beatmaking collaboration. You pay a recurring monthly fee to access either MIDI Box or Beatmaker Box, depending on your creative needs. The service operates entirely online through app.unison.io, with no physical office or mailing address published for Malaysian cancellations.
Most users decide to cancel because the monthly charges accumulate without delivering the expected value, the service does not integrate with their existing workflow, or they simply forget they are still paying. At Yafee, we know that invisible subscriptions cause real frustration. This guide walks you through every step of cancelling Unison in Malaysia while protecting your legal rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
The two subscription plans available in malaysia
Unison offers two main pricing tiers for Malaysian users. Understanding which plan you hold is the first step toward cancelling cleanly.
| Plan name |
Monthly price (MYR) |
Main features |
Best for |
| MIDI Box |
RM1,000.00 |
Up to 1,000 new and unique MIDI files monthly |
Professional producers |
| Beatmaker Box |
RM200.00 |
Up to 200 loops plus 1,700 stems monthly |
Hobbyist and intermediate producers |
If you are paying MIDI Box rates (RM1,000 monthly), cancellation becomes urgent because the cumulative cost is substantial. Beatmaker Box users at RM200 monthly also have a strong case for reviewing their subscription value. In both cases, every month you delay costs you another renewal charge.
Why malaysian users struggle to find the cancellation route
Unison does not advertise a cancellation email address, phone line, or postal address anywhere on its public Malaysian presence. The company processes all account changes through your logged-in dashboard or the app itself, which means you must navigate the interface without human support. Consequently, many users feel trapped because they cannot find an obvious "Cancel" button.
This lack of clarity is precisely why Yafee exists. We research these services so you do not have to stumble in the dark. The cancellation address section at the end of this guide provides the fallback contact route if the app method fails.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Unison in malaysia
Malaysian consumer protection law gives you enforceable rights over subscription services. Understanding these rights ensures you can escalate complaints if Unison refuses to cancel or charges you after you request cancellation.
The consumer protection act 1999 and your legal position
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) is the primary law governing subscription services in Malaysia. Under this law, Unison must provide you with a clear and reasonably accessible method to cancel your subscription. The law also requires that charges stop immediately once you cancel.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel your Unison subscription at any time. Unison must stop charging you within one billing cycle of your cancellation request. If Unison continues to charge you after you cancel, you can dispute the charge with your bank and lodge a complaint with the Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Koperasi (KPDNKK) or the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Authority (MCMC) if the service involves digital telecommunications. The Consumer Tribunal Malaysia also accepts subscription disputes if your claim exceeds RM5,000.
Your right to cancellation without penalty
The CPA 1999 does not require Unison to offer a cooling-off period for digital services once you start using them. However, if Unison charges you for the next billing cycle after you submit a cancellation request in writing, you have grounds to dispute that charge. Unison cannot lawfully charge you for a service you have actively cancelled, even if the charge appears to be automatic.
Furthermore, if Unison's cancellation process is deliberately hidden or confusing, the Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Koperasi (KPDNKK) can investigate for unfair contract terms under the CPA 1999. This matters because vague or inaccessible cancellation routes are often treated as consumer unfairness by the regulator.
How to cancel Unison in malaysia step by step
Cancellation through Unison's app and web account is the official method available to Malaysian users. Follow these steps precisely to ensure your cancellation is recorded and your billing stops.
Preparation before you cancel
Do not hit the cancel button immediately. Take these three steps first so you have proof and do not lose any work.
- Screencap your current plan and billing date.
- Log into app.unison.io or your Unison account.
- Navigate to Billing, Account Settings, or Subscription Management (the exact label varies).
- Take a full screenshot of your plan name (MIDI Box or Beatmaker Box), monthly price in MYR, and next billing date.
- Save this screenshot with today's date in the filename.
- Export or back up any files and project data.
- The terms of service do not explicitly state what happens to your account data after cancellation.
- Download any MIDI files, loops, stems, or project files you have created or stored.
- Save your invoices and transaction IDs from your billing history.
- Take a screenshot of your full billing history showing all charges.
- Gather your payment method details.
- Note the last four digits of the card or payment account used for billing.
- Check your bank statement for the exact amount of the last charge and the date.
- Confirm whether you subscribed through the web, Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or a third-party reseller.
Cancellation through the Unison app or web account
Once you have backed up your data, proceed to cancel within the app or web portal. Unison does not publish exact step-by-step instructions, so you will need to explore your account settings.
- Log into your Unison account.
- Go to app.unison.io and enter your email address and password.
- If you use Apple App Store or Google Play Store, open the Unison app on your device and ensure you are logged in.
- Find the subscription or billing settings section.
- Look for tabs or menus labeled Account, Billing, Subscription, Plans, or Membership.
- The location varies depending on whether you access via web or mobile app.
- If you are stuck, check app.unison.io directly, as the web dashboard is usually the clearest interface.
- Select the option to cancel, downgrade, or pause your subscription.
- You may see a button labeled "Cancel Subscription", "End Plan", "Stop Billing", or similar.
- Click this option and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Do not stop at a pause or downgrade option unless you genuinely want to keep a lower-tier plan.
- Confirm the cancellation and take a final screenshot.
- Unison should display a confirmation message stating your subscription has been cancelled.
- The message should include the date your cancellation takes effect (usually immediately or at the end of the current billing cycle).
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation page and save it with today's date.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation.
- Within 24 hours, Unison should send a confirmation email to your registered email address.
- If no email arrives within 48 hours, your cancellation may not have been processed.
- Forward this email to your records or print it for your file.
If you subscribed through apple app store or google play store
If you set up your Unison subscription through Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) rather than directly through Unison's website, you must cancel through the app store, not through Unison's app.
- For Apple App Store (iOS devices):
- Open Settings and go to your Apple ID profile.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Unison in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Edit or the subscription name, then select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation.
- For Google Play Store (Android devices):
- Open Google Play Store and tap your profile icon in the top right.
- Select Manage subscriptions.
- Find Unison and tap it.
- Select Cancel Subscription and confirm.
Do not assume that uninstalling the app cancels your subscription. The subscription remains active on the app store until you explicitly cancel it in the store's subscription menu. Consequently, charges will continue even after you delete the Unison app from your device.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding what happens financially after you cancel prevents disappointment and helps you spot errors early.
When Unison stops charging you
Unison charges on a monthly cycle tied to your signup date, not the calendar month. If you cancel on the 15th of the month but your billing cycle runs from the 10th of each month, your next charge will still arrive on the 10th unless you cancel before that date. Therefore, the timing of your cancellation within the cycle determines whether you avoid the next charge.
In practice, cancellations submitted before your next billing date prevent that charge from occurring. If you cancel after the charge has already processed, request a refund from Unison support (see the cancellation address section) or dispute the charge with your bank.
Pro-rata refunds and unused service
Unison does not publish a refund policy on its public website. Consequently, you should assume that cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, with no pro-rata (partial-month) refunds. If you have paid for the current month and cancel mid-month, you will not receive a refund for the unused portion unless Unison's terms specifically state otherwise.
If you believe you are entitled to a refund for unused service, contact Unison in writing (see the address section) and cite the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which prohibits unfair contract terms. The KPDNKK considers it unfair if a company charges you for a full month but denies pro-rata refunds when you cancel partway through.
Monitoring your account after cancellation
Do not assume your cancellation is complete just because you see a confirmation page. Monitor your bank account and card statement for at least two billing cycles after cancellation.
- Check your bank statement 5-7 days after your next expected billing date to confirm no charge appeared.
- If a charge does appear after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and dispute it as an unauthorized charge.
- Screenshot the dispute transaction and save it with your cancellation confirmation for the bank.
- Request a chargeback if Unison refuses to refund an erroneous post-cancellation charge.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward when you know the pitfalls. Here are the errors that trap most users, and how to avoid them.
Mistake one: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you bought your subscription through Apple App Store or Google Play, cancelling it through Unison's app or website will not work. Your subscription remains active on the app store until you cancel it there. Many users delete the app, assume they are cancelled, and then wake up to a surprise charge three months later.
At Yafee, we have seen this trap catch hundreds of subscription users. Always verify which platform processed your original purchase, then cancel through that exact channel.
Mistake two: ignoring the confirmation step
Pressing a cancel button is not the same as completing cancellation. Unison should show a confirmation screen and send you an email within 24 hours. If neither arrives, your cancellation did not go through. Do not assume silence means success. Follow up with Unison support using the contact address if you do not receive written confirmation within two business days.
Mistake three: cancelling too late in the billing cycle
If your next charge is scheduled for the 10th and you cancel on the 9th, the system may process your charge before it registers your cancellation. Always cancel at least three business days before your billing date to allow time for the system to update. Check your current billing cycle start date before clicking cancel.
Mistake four: not backing up files before cancellation
Unison's terms are silent on what happens to your stored files, loops, and MIDI data after your subscription ends. The safest assumption is that access to these files may be restricted or lost. Download everything important before you cancel, even if you think you will resubscribe later. Recovering lost work is far harder than spending five minutes on a backup.
After cancellation: next steps and verification
Cancellation does not end at the confirmation screen. You have responsibilities to verify the cancellation worked and to escalate if charges continue.
Verify your cancellation within 7 days
Log back into your Unison account one week after cancellation and confirm that your subscription status shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If your account still displays an active plan or billing information, contact Unison support immediately with your cancellation confirmation screenshot.
Check your bank statement after each expected billing date
For two months after cancellation, review your bank or card statement on the day your next charge would normally appear. If Unison processed an unauthorized charge, dispute it with your bank within 30 days of the charge date. Your bank needs proof of your cancellation request, so attach your screenshot and any email confirmation from Unison.
If Unison refuses to stop charging you
If you cancelled in writing but Unison continues to bill you, you can escalate through two routes:
- Your bank or credit card company: File a dispute for unauthorized or recurring charges you did not authorize. Provide your cancellation confirmation and billing history. Your bank can issue a chargeback.
- The Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Koperasi (KPDNKK): Lodge a formal complaint at https://www.kpdnkk.gov.my/. Describe your cancellation request, the date you submitted it, and the charges that continued. The KPDNKK can investigate whether Unison violated the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
In serious cases, the Consumer Tribunal Malaysia accepts claims for improper billing if your claim exceeds RM5,000. This route is free and does not require a lawyer.

Unison does not publish a Malaysian phone number, mailing address, or dedicated cancellation email. All support flows through the Zendesk help portal and in-app messaging. Use these contact methods if your cancellation attempt fails or you do not receive confirmation.
Official support and escalation routes
Contact Unison through the following channels:
- Web support portal: https://unison.zendesk.com/hc/en-us (Submit a support ticket describing your cancellation issue)
- In-app support: Open Unison, navigate to Help or Contact Support, and describe your cancellation request in writing
- General inquiry contact: Check the footer of unison.audio for any contact form or email listed
If Unison does not respond to your support ticket within 7 business days, escalate to the KPDNKK as described in the refunds section above. The regulator can compel Unison to respond to your complaint.
If Unison ignores your cancellation request
If you submit a cancellation request through the app and Unison continues to charge you without responding, you have legal grounds to dispute the charges with your bank and lodge a complaint with the KPDNKK. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 requires Unison to acknowledge your cancellation request and confirm that charges have stopped within one billing cycle. Silence or continued charging after a clear cancellation request is a breach of this law.
At Yafee, we have helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions and recover unauthorized charges by knowing exactly where to escalate. Our guides ensure you have the evidence and legal framework needed to win your dispute, whether with Unison directly or through consumer protection agencies in Malaysia.
Keep your cancellation confirmation, bank statements, and any email exchanges with Unison together in one folder. These documents are your proof if you need to file a dispute or complaint later. Yafee's step-by-step approach removes the guesswork and gives you confidence that your cancellation is complete and protected by law.
