How to cancel Invideo in new zealand and protect your subscription rights

What is Invideo and why you might want to cancel

Invideo is a cloud-based video creation platform that uses artificial intelligence, pre-designed templates, and licensed media to help you produce short and long-form video content. The service runs on web browsers and mobile applications, with both free and premium subscription tiers available to users worldwide.

Paid subscriptions unlock AI-powered video generation, synthetic avatars, iStock image libraries, expanded cloud storage, and higher monthly credit allowances. However, if you have subscribed and discovered that the platform does not align with your creative workflow, or if the monthly fees have become unaffordable, you possess clear statutory cancellation rights in New Zealand under consumer protection law.

Yafee specialises in helping New Zealand consumers navigate subscription cancellations with confidence and clarity. This guide takes you through the exact steps to cancel Invideo, outlines your refund entitlements, and explains what occurs once your subscription ends.

Common reasons to cancel Invideo

You may cancel because your short-term project has finished, you prefer an alternative video editor, or you wish to reduce monthly outgoings. Perhaps you discovered that the free tier does not justify the cost of Plus or Max plans. Alternatively, you may have identified a competitor that delivers superior value for your specific use case.

Whatever your reason, Yafee believes you should cancel on your own terms, free from obstruction or ambiguity.

Important pricing notes

These NZD prices reflect USD conversion at current exchange rates. Invideo does not publish official New Zealand pricing, so your actual charge may fluctuate slightly based on currency movements and your payment processor. Always review your invoice to confirm the exact amount charged to your account.

If you hold an annual plan and wish to cancel, you may qualify for a refund provided you act within the permitted timeframe and have not consumed the service substantially. We address refund eligibility in detail below.

Should you cancel Invideo?

Before you proceed with cancellation, consider whether the service genuinely fails to meet your needs or whether a temporary pause might suit you better.

Reasons to keep your subscription

Retain Invideo if you produce video content regularly, rely on its AI features to accelerate your workflow, or plan to launch a video-based project in the coming weeks. The platform's synthetic avatars and iStock integration eliminate the need to purchase media licenses separately, which can save money over time. If you are only partly through your annual billing cycle, you may recover more value by continuing than by cancelling immediately.

Reasons to cancel

Cancel if you have not used the service for more than one billing period, your project has concluded, or you have switched to a competitor platform. Cancel if the monthly cost exceeds your content creation budget or if you are unhappy with video quality or editing flexibility. Invideo's credit system can feel restrictive for high-volume users, so if you regularly exhaust your monthly allocation, a competitor with unlimited exports may serve you better.

How to cancel Invideo on the web

Cancelling Invideo through the website is the most transparent method and creates a verifiable record of your cancellation request.

Step one: log in to your Invideo account

Open your web browser and navigate to the Invideo login page. Enter your email address and password in the designated fields. If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot password" link and follow the recovery instructions sent to your registered email address. Allow a few minutes for the reset link to arrive in your inbox.

Step two: access your account menu

Once logged in, locate your profile icon or account menu, typically displayed in the top right corner of the screen. Click on this icon to open the account dropdown menu. A list of options will appear, including "Subscription", "Settings", and "Account".

Step three: navigate to your subscription settings

From the dropdown menu, select "Subscription". This page displays your current plan name, your next billing date, and a complete billing history showing all previous charges. Take a moment to review your billing history to ensure no unauthorised charges appear.

Step four: locate and click the cancel button

On the subscription page, locate the "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel plan" button. This button typically appears beside your active subscription details or at the bottom of your plan summary. Click this button to initiate the cancellation process.

Step five: confirm your cancellation request

A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm that you wish to cancel. Read this dialog carefully. Some platforms display retention offers or alternative plans at this stage. Ensure you are clicking the actual cancellation button and not a "Stay subscribed" or "Pause for now" option. Once you confirm, your cancellation request is submitted immediately.

Step six: retain your cancellation confirmation

After you confirm, Invideo displays a confirmation message on screen. Take a screenshot of this message or note the cancellation date shown. This serves as proof of cancellation if you need to dispute a charge later. Furthermore, check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation email from Invideo. If no email arrives within 24 hours, log back into your account to verify the cancellation status.

What happens after you cancel Invideo

Understanding the post-cancellation timeline prevents confusion about access and billing.

Immediate effects of cancellation

Once you confirm your cancellation, Invideo typically deactivates your premium features immediately. You retain access to your account dashboard and your video archive, but you cannot create new videos, use credits, or access paid features. Your account remains accessible in read-only mode, allowing you to download existing projects or export final videos.

Final billing cycle and refund eligibility

If you cancel mid-month on a monthly plan, you generally lose access at the end of that billing period. Your final charge has already been processed, and Invideo does not provide pro-rata refunds for unused days in a monthly cycle. However, if you cancel an annual plan within the refund window (typically 14 to 30 days depending on your jurisdiction and payment method), you may qualify for a full or partial refund. We address refund procedures in the next section.

Data retention and account deletion

Your video projects remain stored in your account for a limited period after cancellation, usually between 30 and 90 days. Download any critical projects before this window closes. If you wish to delete your account entirely and remove all personal data, contact Invideo's support team via email. This process is separate from subscription cancellation and requires an explicit request.

Refunds and your consumer rights

Your refund entitlements in New Zealand are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, which grants you specific rights regardless of Invideo's stated refund policy.

Your legal position

The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 requires that goods and services supplied to you in New Zealand are of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered within a reasonable timeframe. If Invideo fails to meet these standards, you have the right to request a refund, replacement, or repair at no cost to you. Additionally, if Invideo's terms and conditions are unfair or misleading, the Commerce Commission may take enforcement action on your behalf. Consequently, even if Invideo's standard refund policy appears restrictive, your statutory rights may entitle you to a refund if you can demonstrate that the service was faulty or unsuitable.

When you qualify for a refund

You qualify for a refund if you cancel an annual plan within 14 days of purchase and have not used the service substantially. You also qualify if Invideo fails to provide the service as described, if the platform experiences persistent technical faults, or if you cancel within the mandatory cooling-off period set by your payment method or bank.

Monthly plans do not typically offer refunds for unused days, as you have had full access to the service for the entire billing period. Nevertheless, if you can demonstrate that Invideo misrepresented its features or if the service does not function as advertised, you retain the right to claim a refund under consumer law.

How to request a refund

Contact Invideo's support team immediately after cancellation. Send an email to their support address (available on the Invideo website) and clearly state that you wish to request a refund. Provide your account email, subscription plan details, and the date you cancelled. Explain briefly why you are requesting the refund-for example, "unused annual plan" or "service not fit for purpose". Keep copies of all emails and your cancellation confirmation screenshot.

Invideo typically responds within 5 to 10 business days. If they deny your refund request and you believe your statutory rights have been breached, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's primary consumer protection authority. The Commission investigates unfair contract terms and misleading conduct by businesses.

Common mistakes when cancelling Invideo

Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, and knowing the pitfalls ahead means you avoid costly errors.

Mistake one: confusing cancellation with pause

Some platforms offer a "pause subscription" option that halts billing temporarily without cancelling outright. If you select "Pause" instead of "Cancel", your subscription remains active and may resume automatically after 30 or 60 days. Always click the cancel or terminate button, not pause. If Invideo offers a pause feature and you select it by accident, return to your subscription settings and click cancel instead.

Mistake two: assuming your subscription ends immediately

Many users believe that clicking cancel stops all charges instantly. In reality, your subscription typically ends at the conclusion of your current billing period. If you cancel mid-month, you retain access until the end of that month, but your final payment has already been processed. Plan your cancellation to align with your billing date to maximise the value of your final payment.

Mistake three: not retaining proof of cancellation

Invideo's support team may claim they have no record of your cancellation if you cannot provide evidence. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation and save the confirmation email. If Invideo charges you after cancellation, these documents prove you initiated the cancellation and support your dispute with your payment processor.

Mistake four: cancelling before downloading your projects

Once your subscription ends, Invideo deletes your video projects after a set period, typically 30 to 90 days. Before you cancel, export and download all videos you wish to keep. Invideo may charge you for premium exports or storage recovery if you attempt to re-access projects after your subscription has lapsed.

Mistake five: failing to dispute unauthorised charges

If Invideo charges you after your cancellation date, contact your bank or payment processor immediately and dispute the charge as unauthorised. Most financial institutions reverse fraudulent charges within 5 to 10 business days if you report them promptly. Do not delay, as some disputes expire after 60 days.

Reviews and user feedback

Invideo holds a 4.5 out of 5 star rating across independent review platforms, reflecting strong user satisfaction with video quality and ease of use. However, cancellation reviews reveal recurring friction: users report difficulty locating the cancel button, surprise charges after attempted cancellation, and slow refund processing.

Common user feedback emphasises that the cancellation page is not prominently displayed in the account menu, forcing users to click through multiple settings pages to find it. Several users also report that Invideo's customer support team disputes valid refund requests or claims no cancellation was processed, even when users provide screenshots. This is where Yafee's guidance proves invaluable: by documenting every step and retaining proof, you eliminate the risk of such disputes.

Invideo contact and support

If you encounter difficulties during cancellation or need to escalate a refund dispute, contact Invideo's support team using the channels below.

Support contact methods

Invideo does not publish a direct postal address for New Zealand customers. The company operates from the United States and handles all cancellations and support requests online. You can contact Invideo's support team by email through the help centre on their website or via live chat within your account dashboard. Response times typically range from 24 to 72 hours.

For formal complaints that Invideo refuses to address, escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission, the New Zealand government agency responsible for enforcing consumer law. The Commission accepts complaints about unfair contract terms, misleading advertising, and failure to honour statutory refund rights. You can lodge a complaint online at the Commerce Commission website at no cost.

Dispute resolution with your payment processor

If Invideo continues to charge your account after cancellation, contact your bank or payment processor directly and lodge a dispute. Provide your cancellation confirmation screenshot and the date of each unauthorised charge. Your financial institution typically reverses fraudulent charges within 5 to 10 business days and may ban Invideo from processing future transactions on your account.
