How to cancel Youcam Perfect in malaysia and avoid unwanted charges
What Youcam Perfect is and what you pay for
Youcam Perfect is a photo editing application and online service from Perfect Corp that operates on a freemium subscription model. In Malaysia, basic editing tools are available free, but premium features sit behind a paid plan billed in Malaysian Ringgit (RM). Understanding what you actually subscribe to is the first step toward cancelling without dispute.
Premium features and pricing in malaysia
Youcam Perfect offers tiered subscription plans in Malaysia. The service delivers premium beauty tools, artificial intelligence editing features, advanced filters, templates, and extended export options. Your pricing structure includes two main recurring plans:
| Plan |
Monthly (RM) |
Yearly (RM) |

| Youcam Perfect Premium |
RM21.90 |
RM299.90 |

| Free (with ads) |

The critical point: deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. If you signed up through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the web account system at yce.perfectcorp.com, your payment method will continue to renew automatically until you explicitly cancel through that same billing channel. Many users discover this only after seeing an unexpected charge on their credit card or bank statement.
How free trials work and what happens after
Youcam Perfect offers a free trial period that converts to a paid auto-renewing subscription if you do not cancel before the trial expires. The service terms state that only one free trial is available per user account. If you used a trial previously, then subscribed again months later, you will not receive another trial period. This matters because you need to cancel before the trial end date to avoid the first charge.
Furthermore, if you subscribed during a promotional offer (such as a discounted first month), the terms may require cancellation before that promotional period ends to avoid full-price renewal. Always check your confirmation email for the exact trial or promotional end date.
Your legal position as a consumer in malaysia
Your right to cancel a subscription service in Malaysia is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, administered by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs. This act grants you the right to cancel without penalty or additional charge, provided you follow the correct procedure and act within the specified timeframe.
Consumer protection act 1999 and distance selling rules
Because Youcam Perfect is delivered online, your transaction qualifies as a distance sale under Malaysian consumer law. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 gives you the right to cancel within seven days of the contract date (the date you signed up) without providing a reason. However, if you began using the premium features before day seven, that right may be waived in some circumstances, so cancellation before first use is safest.
In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the service provider must supply you with clear cancellation instructions at the point of purchase and in your confirmation email. If Youcam Perfect failed to provide those details, you have grounds to escalate a complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
Your right to a refund for unwanted charges
If you have been charged without authorisation, or if the service was not delivered as described, you may claim a refund under Section 123 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. The service provider is required to process that refund within 14 days of approval. If Youcam Perfect refuses, or if they do not respond to your cancellation request, you can file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, which handles consumer disputes at no cost to you.
Consequently, your legal position is strong: you have the right to cancel, to receive clear cancellation instructions, and to recover money charged in error. Yafee advises you to document every step of your cancellation to build a record should a dispute arise.
Methods to cancel Youcam Perfect depending on where you subscribed
Your cancellation route depends on the platform through which you originally signed up. Identifying the correct channel before you act is essential to ensure the cancellation actually takes effect.
Identify your billing platform first
Before you cancel, determine where your payment is being processed. Open the app or visit yce.perfectcorp.com and check your account settings for one of these three billing sources: web account (yce.perfectcorp.com), Apple App Store, or Google Play. Your subscription confirmation email will also state the platform. Take a screenshot of this information because you will need it if you need to dispute a charge later.
Cancel through the web account (yce.perfectcorp.com)
If your subscription was created through the Youcam Perfect website, follow these steps to cancel:
- Sign in to your account at yce.perfectcorp.com using your email address and password
- If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot Password" link on the login page
- Click the user icon (profile picture or initials) in the top right corner of the page
- Select "Account" from the dropdown menu
- Open the "Settings" tab
- Locate the subscription section and click "Cancel Plan"
- The system will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer a retention discount; decline it if you want to cancel
- Wait for the cancellation confirmation to appear on screen
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation message and save it to your device or email it to yourself
- Note the exact time and date of cancellation for your records
Do not log out immediately after clicking cancel. Remain on the page until you see the final confirmation. Some services show a success message and then return you to the account dashboard; if you see "No active subscription" or "Subscription cancelled as of [date]", your cancellation has taken effect.
Cancel through apple app store
If you subscribed via the App Store (iPhone or iPad), follow these steps:
- Open the App Store app on your Apple device
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find "Youcam Perfect" in the list and tap it
- Tap "Cancel Subscription"
- You may see offers to discount your plan; select "Cancel anyway" if you do not want them
- Confirm the cancellation by following the on-screen prompts
- A confirmation screen will appear; take a screenshot of the cancellation date and reference number
Your subscription will remain active until the current billing period ends, but no renewal charge will occur. Apple will send you a cancellation confirmation email to the address linked to your App Store account.
Cancel through google play
If you subscribed on an Android device via Google Play, cancel as follows:
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Payments and subscriptions"
- Tap "Subscriptions"
- Find "Youcam Perfect" and tap it
- Tap "Cancel subscription"
- Google will prompt you to select a reason for cancellation (select any option)
- Confirm by tapping "Cancel subscription" again
- Screenshot the final confirmation screen showing the cancellation date
Google will send you a cancellation confirmation email. Your subscription will terminate at the end of your current billing cycle, and no further charges will be applied.
What happens after you cancel
Understanding what occurs in the days and weeks after cancellation will give you confidence and prevent confusion about your access and billing.
Your subscription remains active until the end of the billing period
When you cancel, your premium access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If your next renewal date is 15 February, and you cancel on 1 February, you retain full premium features until 15 February. On 15 February, your account will downgrade to free (ad-supported) features automatically. This means you will lose access to premium filters, AI tools, and advanced export options.
Nevertheless, the Youcam Perfect terms do not explicitly clarify whether your edited photos and saved presets remain accessible after downgrade. Yafee recommends you export and save all important edited images to your device before the cancellation date takes effect. Do not rely on cloud storage or in-app archives after your premium access ends.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Your eligibility for a refund depends on when you cancel and your reason for cancellation.
| Scenario |
Refund eligible? |
Timeline |
| Cancelled within 7 days of purchase, before use |
Yes (likely) |
14 days from approval |
| Cancelled after 7 days or after using premium features |
No (standard) |
Not applicable |
| Charged after cancellation date |
Yes |
14 days from proof submission |
| Duplicate charge in same billing cycle |
Yes |
14 days from proof submission |
If you cancel within 7 days of your initial subscription date (before first use), your cancellation qualifies as a distance sale withdrawal under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, and a full refund is your legal right. If you are charged after your cancellation date, or if you discover a duplicate charge, you may claim a refund by providing proof of cancellation (your screenshot) and the erroneous charge details to the service provider.
How to check if your cancellation took effect
One week after your cancellation, log in to your account (via web, App Store, or Google Play) and verify that your subscription status reads "No active subscription" or shows "Free plan". If it still shows an active paid plan, contact Yafee immediately with your cancellation screenshot and billing records, as the cancellation may not have been processed.
Furthermore, check your bank or credit card statement 7 to 10 days after your cancellation to confirm no new charge appears. If a charge does appear after your cancellation date, gather your cancellation proof and disputed transaction details, then escalate to your bank and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Most cancellation failures are preventable. Taking a few extra minutes to follow the right process protects you from unwanted charges and future disputes.
Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Removing the Youcam Perfect app from your device does not cancel your subscription. The payment continues to renew through your App Store, Google Play, or web account until you manually cancel through that platform. You can delete the app immediately after cancellation, but never assume deletion equals cancellation.
Mistake 2: cancelling in the wrong place
If you subscribed via Apple App Store, you must cancel via Apple App Store, not through the web account or vice versa. Cancelling in the wrong place leaves your subscription active elsewhere. Identify your original billing platform and cancel only there.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
If Youcam Perfect disputes your cancellation later and claims you never cancelled, your screenshot is your proof. Without it, reversing an erroneous charge becomes harder and may require involvement from your bank or the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs. Take the screenshot immediately after you see the cancellation confirmation on screen.
Mistake 4: cancelling days before renewal and assuming instant refund
Cancellation does not generate an instant refund unless you cancel within the 7-day distance sale window and have not used premium features. If you cancel days before renewal, your current subscription remains active until that renewal date. You will not receive a pro-rata refund for unused time. Cancel as soon as you decide you no longer want the service to prevent accidental renewal.

The yearly plans offer significant savings over monthly billing. However, if you are unsure about long-term use, start with a monthly plan and upgrade to yearly only after confirming the service meets your needs. Switching from monthly to yearly mid-cycle will not generate a refund for unused time on your monthly plan.
Key steps before you cancel: your checklist
Use this checklist to ensure you have completed all necessary actions before pressing cancel.
- Screenshot your current subscription plan name and renewal date
- Note the exact date, time, and platform shown on your account
- Export any edited photos or saved presets to your device or cloud storage
- Use the app's export function to download high-resolution copies
- Confirm the billing platform (web account, App Store, or Google Play)
- Check your confirmation email for the original sign-up platform
- Set a calendar reminder for one day before your renewal date
- This allows time to cancel if your first cancellation attempt fails
- Cancel through the correct platform using the steps in this guide
- Do not log out until you see the final confirmation message
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation
- Include the date, time, and confirmation number or message
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from the service provider
- Save this email to a folder for future reference
- Verify your account status one week later
- Log in and confirm your subscription shows "cancelled" or "free plan"
- Monitor your bank or credit card statement for 10 days
- Alert your bank immediately if an unauthorised charge appears
If Youcam Perfect refuses to cancel or continues charging
If your cancellation attempt fails, or if charges continue after your cancellation date, escalate your dispute through the correct channels to enforce your consumer rights.
Step 1: contact Youcam Perfect support with evidence
Send a formal email to Youcam Perfect's support address (obtainable via their help page at yce.perfectcorp.com/faq) and attach your cancellation screenshots, confirmation email, and account statement showing the erroneous charge. State the date you cancelled, the cancellation method you used, and the specific charges you dispute. Request a refund and a written confirmation that your subscription is cancelled. Set a deadline of 14 days for their response.
Step 2: file a complaint with the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs
If Youcam Perfect does not respond or refuses to refund within 14 days, file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA). The MDTCA handles consumer disputes at no cost to you and has the authority to compel the service provider to refund disputed charges and comply with the Consumer Protection Act 1999. You will need your cancellation proof, screenshots, and copies of all communications with Youcam Perfect.
Step 3: contact your bank or card issuer
Simultaneously, notify your bank or credit card company of the disputed charges. Provide them with your cancellation proof and the dates of the unwanted transactions. Your bank can initiate a chargeback, which reverses the payment and places pressure on Youcam Perfect to demonstrate valid authorisation. This process typically takes 30 to 60 days but is free to you.
Your legal position
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel your subscription without penalty. If the service provider refuses to honour your cancellation, charges you after the cancellation date, or fails to provide a refund for breached service terms, they are in breach of consumer law. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs can issue orders requiring the provider to refund your money, pay compensation for inconvenience, and comply with consumer protection regulations. You are protected, and Yafee urges you to use these escalation channels if needed.
Why consumers cancel and when to reconsider
Understanding why you want to cancel helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice or whether a pause, downgrade, or contact with support might better serve your needs.
Common reasons to cancel
- You no longer use the editing features regularly (time or lifestyle change)
- Free alternatives (such as Canva or Snapseed) meet your needs
- The cost no longer fits your budget
- You did not realise the trial was converting to a paid plan
- Premium features were not as useful as expected
- You received an unexpected or duplicate charge
When to contact support instead of cancelling
Before cancelling, consider whether support might resolve your issue. If you were charged twice in one cycle, contact Youcam Perfect to report the duplicate before cancelling; they may refund it without requiring cancellation. If you did not realise the trial was converting, many providers offer a one-time refund for first-time users who cancel within days of accidental renewal. If cost is the only issue, Yafee recommends downgrading to the free plan or the cheapest tier rather than cancelling completely, so you retain your account and photo library if you decide to return later.
