Cancel Envato Elements: Your Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Envato Elements in nigeria: your complete legal guide and step-by-step process
Why nigerians cancel Envato Elements and when to stop paying
Envato Elements is a subscription service that grants you unlimited downloads of digital assets-graphics, templates, photographs, fonts, videos and audio files-under a commercial licence valid for Nigeria and worldwide use. Many Nigerian designers, freelancers, content creators and small marketing teams subscribe because the service promises unlimited access to premium assets without per-download costs.
However, subscription fatigue, rising costs, or discovering better alternatives means you may now want to exit. Yafee understands that cancelling a digital subscription often feels unnecessarily complicated, which is why we've built this guide to help you understand your rights under Nigerian law and execute a clean cancellation in minutes.
Common reasons nigerians choose to cancel
You may cancel Envato Elements for several legitimate reasons. Your project workflow may have shifted and you no longer need unlimited asset downloads. The monthly cost in Nigerian Naira may no longer fit your budget as freelance work fluctuates. You may have found a cheaper alternative service or discovered free resources that meet your needs. You may have simply forgotten the subscription was active and want to reclaim monthly spend.
Whatever your reason, Nigerian consumer law protects your right to terminate paid services, and Envato Elements must honour cancellation requests within statutory timeframes.
What happens to your downloaded files after cancellation
This point is legally important: once you cancel Envato Elements, your licence to use previously downloaded assets remains valid. Your commercial licence is tied to the download date, not your subscription status. Any asset you downloaded while your subscription was active belongs to you permanently. You retain the legal right to use those files in client projects, commercial work and personal use indefinitely.
You will, however, lose access to the Envato Elements library and cannot download new assets once your subscription ends. Your existing files are yours; your access to future downloads ends.
Your legal rights as a nigerian Envato Elements subscriber
Nigeria's legal framework gives you specific protections when cancelling digital subscriptions from international providers.
The federal competition and consumer protection act (FCCPA) 2019 and your subscription rights
The FCCPA 2019 is Nigeria's primary consumer protection statute. It mandates that subscription services operate fairly, provide clear billing information and honour cancellation requests. Section 131 of the FCCPA specifically protects you against unfair contract terms-including hidden cancellation fees, auto-renewal clauses that violate your consent, and failure to process refunds within reasonable timeframes.
Under the FCCPA, you have the right to:
- Cancel your subscription without penalty
- Receive clear notice of all charges before they are deducted
- Request a refund if you cancelled before your billing date
- Dispute charges your bank processed without authorisation
Unlike the European Union's automatic 14-day cooling-off period for digital goods, Nigeria does not mandate a statutory refund window for subscriptions. However, if Envato charged you after you cancelled, or if you never authorised renewal, you have grounds for dispute under FCCPA Section 131.
Your legal position on refunds
Envato Elements' standard terms refuse refunds after your billing cycle begins. Nigerian law does not override this unless the service failed to perform or you were charged without consent. However, if you cancelled on day 1 of your billing cycle and Envato charged you anyway, the FCCPA requires them to refund. If you cannot resolve this with Envato, you can escalate to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Nigeria's enforcement body. Yafee advises keeping screenshots of all charges, cancellation confirmations and correspondence with Envato as evidence.
When to escalate to the FCCPC
Contact the FCCPC if Envato refuses a legitimate refund or continues charging after you cancelled. The FCCPC's head office is located at the Federal Secretariat Complex in Abuja, and you can also file complaints online through their official portal. Provide your billing statements, proof of cancellation and screenshots of disputed charges. The FCCPC typically responds within 30 days and can compel Envato to refund illegitimate charges.
How to cancel Envato Elements: step-by-step methods
Your cancellation method depends on how you originally subscribed-direct website, Apple App Store or Google Play.
Cancellation via the Envato Elements website (direct subscription)
This is the fastest method if you subscribed directly through envato.com using your email and payment card.
- Log in to your Envato Elements account at envato.com using your email address and password
- Navigate to your Account Settings by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Subscriptions" or "Billing" from the menu
- Locate your active Envato Elements subscription and click "Manage Subscription"
- Click "Cancel Subscription" and confirm the cancellation request
- Envato will display a cancellation confirmation on screen and email you a confirmation receipt within minutes
- Save this confirmation email-you will need it if you later dispute a charge
Your access to new downloads stops immediately after confirmation. Any remaining billing cycle credit does not carry forward, so cancel as close to your next billing date as possible to avoid wasting paid time.
Cancellation via apple app store (iOS subscribers)
If you subscribed through Apple's in-app purchase system on iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's settings, not Envato's website.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap "Subscriptions" (or scroll to find it under your Apple ID section)
- Select "Envato Elements" from your active subscriptions list
- Tap "Cancel Subscription"
- Confirm the cancellation by following Apple's on-screen prompts
- Apple will email you a cancellation confirmation
Cancelling through Apple removes the subscription from your account immediately. You cannot cancel an App Store subscription through Envato's website-Apple controls all App Store subscription billing. Yafee recommends verifying the cancellation took effect by checking your subscriptions list 24 hours later.
Cancellation via google play store (Android subscribers)
If you subscribed through Google Play on an Android device, cancel through Google Play settings, not Envato's site.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Payments and Subscriptions"
- Tap "Subscriptions" to view your active subscriptions
- Select "Envato Elements" from the list
- Tap "Cancel Subscription"
- Follow Google's confirmation prompts to finalise the cancellation
- Google will send you an email confirmation of cancellation
Your Google Play subscription cancels immediately. Like Apple, Google controls Android app billing entirely. Yafee advises checking your subscriptions list 24 hours later to confirm Envato Elements no longer appears as active.
Cancellation via email if you cannot access your account
If you lost access to your Envato account or cannot log in, you can cancel via email.
- Send an email to Envato's support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request"
- Include your full name, email address registered to the account and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect
- Request written confirmation of the cancellation
- Envato typically responds within 2 business days with a cancellation confirmation
- Save this email as your cancellation proof
Email cancellation takes longer than self-service methods but creates a documented record. Use this method only if you cannot access your account through the website or app.
Understanding Envato Elements pricing in nigeria
Knowing your subscription cost helps you calculate refund claims and decide when to cancel.
| Subscription plan | Monthly cost (NGN) | Billing cycle | Content access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Envato Elements monthly | ₦3,490-₦4,990 | Monthly | Unlimited downloads of all assets |
| Envato Elements annual | ₦29,990-₦44,990 | 12 months | Unlimited downloads of all assets |
| Envato Elements bundle (Elements + Music Unlimited) | ₦4,990-₦6,990 | Monthly | All Elements assets plus music library |
Prices vary based on your location and current Envato promotions. Always check your billing statement for your exact monthly charge. If you subscribed during a promotional period and the price increased, Nigerian consumer law requires Envato to notify you 14 days before the increase takes effect. You can cancel during this notice period to avoid the higher rate.
Your financial position after cancellation
Understanding what you will and will not recover helps you plan cancellation timing.
Will you receive a refund
Envato's standard refund policy states no refunds are issued after your billing date passes. However, your actual refund eligibility depends on when you cancel:
- Cancel before your billing date: You may request a refund for the upcoming cycle if you have not yet been charged
- Cancel after your billing date: Envato will not refund the current cycle, but your subscription stops immediately, and you are not charged again
- Billed twice or without authorisation: Contact Envato immediately. Under the FCCPA, unauthorised charges are refundable
- Service failure: If Envato's platform was unavailable or non-functional for extended periods, you may negotiate a partial refund
Yafee recommends cancelling 2-3 days before your next billing date to avoid an unnecessary final charge. Check your billing statement now to identify your exact billing date.
What to do if Envato refuses to refund
If you were charged after cancellation or charged without consent, escalate immediately:
- Reply to Envato's support email with a formal dispute request, citing the FCCPA Section 131
- Provide screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and the disputed charge
- Request a refund within 7 days
- If Envato refuses or ignores you after 7 days, contact your bank's dispute resolution team and file a chargeback
- If the chargeback fails, file a complaint with the FCCPC with all supporting documentation
Keep all correspondence. The FCCPC can compel Envato to refund and may also impose penalties for non-compliance with FCCPA Section 131.
Common mistakes when cancelling Envato Elements
Cancelling is straightforward if you avoid these traps-most are resolved within days.
Assuming your account deletion cancels your subscription
Deleting your Envato Elements account does not automatically cancel your subscription. Your billing continues even after account deletion. You must explicitly cancel your subscription before deleting your account. Always perform cancellation first, wait for confirmation, and only delete your account afterward.
Cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, cancelling on the Envato website will not work. Your billing runs through Apple or Google, so you must cancel there. Conversely, if you subscribed directly through Envato.com, cancelling through an app store will not cancel your website subscription. Verify how you originally subscribed by checking your bank statement or email receipts.
Ignoring confirmation emails
Envato sends a confirmation email immediately after cancellation. If you do not receive this email within 5 minutes, your cancellation may not have processed. Check your spam folder. If the email is missing, log back in and verify your subscription status. If Envato charged you again, you have proof of the cancellation attempt to support a dispute.
Cancelling after you've already been charged
Cancelling after your billing date passes does not recover that cycle's charge. Plan your cancellation 3-5 days before your next billing date. If you forget and get charged, contact Envato immediately requesting a refund. Under the FCCPA, they must consider your request if you cancel within days of being charged.
After cancellation: what to verify immediately
Take these steps in the first 24 hours to ensure your cancellation is final and no surprises emerge.
Confirm your subscription status
Log back into Envato Elements 24 hours after cancellation and check your account settings. Your subscription should display as "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If it still shows "Active", contact Envato immediately. Save a screenshot of this status as proof for any future dispute.
Check your bank account for surprise charges
Monitor your bank account for the next 30 days. Occasionally Envato processes a final charge after cancellation due to processing delays. If you spot a charge after your cancellation date, contact your bank and Envato simultaneously. Provide both parties your cancellation confirmation email.
Archive your cancellation confirmation email
Keep the cancellation confirmation email in a permanent folder. Do not delete it. You will need this email if Envato or your bank disputes a charge claim. Yafee suggests creating a "Subscription Cancellations" folder in your email to organise all future cancellation records.
Comparing Envato Elements to nigerian alternatives
Before you cancel, consider whether another service better fits your budget and workflow.
| Service | Monthly cost (NGN) | Asset library | Commercial licence | Cancellation terms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Envato Elements | ₦3,490-₦4,990 | Largest (10M+ assets) | Yes (unlimited) | Instant via website |
| Shutterstock | ₦4,990-₦8,490 | Large (400M+ images) | Yes | Instant via website |
| Canva Pro | ₦1,500-₦2,000 | Medium (custom templates focus) | Yes | Instant via website |
| Adobe Creative Cloud | ₦7,990-₦14,990 | Very large (design software + assets) | Yes | Requires 30-day notice |
| Free alternatives (Unsplash, Pixabay, Pexels) | ₦0 | Medium (limited, no premium) | Yes (most) | N/A |
If cost is your primary reason for cancelling, Canva Pro offers lower-cost templates for social media designers. If you need stock photography and music, Shutterstock bundles both. Yafee recognises that Envato Elements remains competitive for unlimited asset access, but cancelling makes sense if your projects no longer require that volume.
Getting help if Envato refuses to process your cancellation
Escalation routes exist if Envato ignores your cancellation request or continues billing.
Formal dispute escalation with Envato
Send a formal dispute letter to Envato's legal team if standard support fails. Use this template:
"I request the immediate cancellation of my Envato Elements subscription (Account email: [your email]) effective [cancellation date]. I have submitted cancellation requests on [date(s)] but charges continue to appear on my account. Under Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2019 Section 131, I am entitled to cancel without penalty. Please confirm cancellation within 7 business days or I will pursue a chargeback and file a complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC)."
Send this to [email protected] and keep a copy for your records. Formal language and FCCPA citation often trigger faster resolution.
Chargeback through your bank
If Envato charges you after cancellation, your bank can reverse the charge. Contact your bank's dispute department (usually called "Disputes" or "Chargeback") and provide:
- Your cancellation confirmation email
- Screenshots of the disputed charge on your statement
- Evidence that you requested cancellation
- Correspondence with Envato about the charge
Banks in Nigeria typically resolve disputes within 30 days. Yafee advises using chargeback only after Envato has had 7 days to respond to your dispute request, as chargebacks can escalate tensions with the service provider.
Filing a complaint with the FCCPC
Contact the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission directly if Envato violates the FCCPA 2019. File a complaint at the FCCPC office in the Federal Secretariat Complex, Abuja, or online through their official portal. Include:
- Your full name and contact information
- Details of the disputed charge and cancellation date
- All supporting documentation (email confirmations, bank statements, screenshots)
- The relief you seek (refund amount, cancellation confirmation)
The FCCPC investigates within 30 days and can compel Envato to refund and pay penalties for FCCPA violations. This is your final escalation route and carries legal weight that bank disputes do not.
