How to cancel Age Of Learning and protect your child's learning profile
What Age Of Learning is and why filipino families subscribe
Age Of Learning operates HOMER and ABCmouse, two cloud-based learning platforms designed for children aged 2 to 8. The service charges in U.S. dollars and renews automatically every month or year unless you cancel before your next billing date. Many Filipino parents discover the automatic renewal policy only after a charge appears on their credit card or GCash account weeks or months after they believed they had ended the subscription. This guide, informed by Philippine consumer law and supported by Yafee's contract specialists, walks you through cancellation step by step and explains your legal protections.
How the subscription model operates
Age Of Learning charges subscribers in U.S. dollars (USD), which converts to Philippine pesos (PHP) at your bank's current exchange rate. Your actual peso amount varies depending on whether you pay by credit card, GCash, Maya, or international transfer. The subscription grants you unlimited access to interactive learning modules, progress tracking for your child, and ad-free content covering reading, mathematics, and early development skills.
Critically, you do not own or download anything. You are purchasing continuous access to a cloud-hosted learning library. The moment your subscription ends, your child's account becomes read-only, though Age Of Learning states it preserves learning history for a limited period. The company's terms explicitly reserve the right to "renew your subscription automatically for the same term at the same price" unless you submit a cancellation request before the renewal date.
Why cancellation friction exists for philippine users
Age Of Learning's support team operates Monday through Friday, 4:00 AM to 6:00 PM Philippine Standard Time (PST), a window that may clash with your work or school schedule. The company's headquarters sit in Glendale, California, so email responses to [email protected] can take 24 to 48 hours, especially across weekends and Philippine holidays.
The most significant barrier: your subscription platform determines your cancellation method. If you purchased directly from Age Of Learning's website, you cancel through your account settings or by contacting support. If you bought via Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform's subscription manager, not through Age Of Learning's account portal. Canceling in the wrong location is the leading reason Filipino users believe they have successfully canceled when the subscription continues and charges recur.
Your legal rights under philippine consumer protection law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is the primary statute governing your subscription cancellation rights and refund entitlements.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees
Under Republic Act No. 7394, every consumer has the right to cancel any subscription service within a reasonable period and demand a refund for charges incurred after the cancellation request was received by the company. If Age Of Learning continues to bill you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, the company commits an unfair trade practice under the law. You also possess the right to receive clear, conspicuous cancellation instructions before you complete payment; deliberately obscuring cancellation terms violates the statute's transparency requirements.
Furthermore, the law places the burden of proof on the service provider. Age Of Learning must demonstrate that it received and processed your cancellation before any charge date you dispute. If you submit a written cancellation notice and a charge appears afterward, the company must provide evidence that your request arrived after the billing cycle closed. Without such proof, the charge is presumed unauthorized.
Your legal position in practice
You hold the following enforceable rights under Philippine law:
- Cancel your subscription at any time by submitting a written or electronic request to the company's designated cancellation address or email.
- Receive confirmation of cancellation within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5 to 10 business days).
- Demand a full refund for any charge that posts after your cancellation request was submitted.
- File a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Bureau of Consumer Protection if the company refuses to honor your cancellation or refund request.
- Report Age Of Learning to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) if the company misuses your payment card details or processes unauthorized charges.
In accordance with Philippine consumer law, you do not need to provide a reason for cancellation, nor may the company deny your request based on the timing or frequency of your cancellations. Yafee advises documenting every communication with Age Of Learning, including cancellation requests, confirmation emails, and screenshots of your account status, because this evidence is decisive if you escalate to the DTI.
Your subscription's origin determines which cancellation method you must follow to ensure the request reaches the correct department.
Canceling a subscription purchased directly from Age Of learning's website
If you registered and paid directly through www.ageoflearning.com, follow this procedure:
- Log in to your Age Of Learning account using the email address and password you created at signup.
- Navigate to Account Settings, usually located in the top-right menu or under your profile name.
- Select Subscription or Billing Information.
- Locate the button labeled Cancel Subscription, Cancel Service, or similar wording.
- Read any final offer or retention message the company displays.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page or save any confirmation email Age Of Learning sends within minutes of your request.
- If no confirmation arrives within 24 hours, email [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Confirmation Request" and include your account email and full name.
Canceling a subscription purchased through apple app store
If you subscribed to Age Of Learning through the ABC Mouse app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management interface, not through Age Of Learning directly:
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your Apple ID profile at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Locate and tap ABCmouse or HOMER (whichever app you subscribed to).
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm your cancellation when Apple requests verification.
- Apple displays a confirmation message and sends a cancellation email to your Apple ID email address within minutes.
- Save this email as proof of cancellation.
Do not contact Age Of Learning to cancel an Apple subscription. Apple processes all cancellations and refund requests for App Store purchases, and Age Of Learning has no direct access to your subscription status on that platform.
Canceling a subscription purchased through google play
If you subscribed to Age Of Learning via the Google Play Store on an Android device, cancel through Google's subscription manager:
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find and tap ABCmouse or HOMER.
- Select Cancel subscription and follow Google's confirmation prompts.
- Google sends a cancellation confirmation email to your Google Account email address.
- Retain this email as proof of cancellation.
As with Apple, Google Play handles all cancellation processing for mobile app subscriptions. Age Of Learning cannot cancel or refund App Store or Google Play purchases directly.
Canceling by postal mail or formal written notice
If you prefer a documented paper trail or the online methods fail, submit a written cancellation notice to Age Of Learning's legal department:
- Compose a letter on plain paper or your company letterhead (if applicable) containing:
- Your full name.
- Your email address associated with the Age Of Learning account.
- Your account number (if you have one; otherwise state "N/A").
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect (ideally immediately).
- A single sentence: "I hereby request immediate cancellation of my Age Of Learning subscription effective [date]."
- Do not include personal payment details, card numbers, or banking information in the letter.
- Print the letter, sign it by hand, and place it in an envelope.
- Address the envelope to:
Age Of Learning, Inc.
Legal Department - Cancellation Requests
P.O. Box 2670
Glendale, CA 91209-2670
United States
- Send the letter via registered mail, courier (such as DHL or FedEx), or any service that provides tracking and proof of delivery.
- Keep your courier receipt or tracking number as proof you submitted the request.
- Allow 10 to 15 business days for Age Of Learning to receive and process your letter.
Yafee strongly recommends sending your written notice at least 10 days before your next billing date to ensure the company receives and stops the charge in time.
Understanding Age Of learning's pricing and refund policy
Age Of Learning offers several subscription tiers, each charged at different rates depending on your selected plan.
Pricing summary and refund windows
| Plan type |
Typical pricing (USD) |
Billing cycle |
Refund eligibility |
| Monthly subscription |
USD 9.99 to USD 19.99 |
Every 30 days |
Full refund within 30 days of first charge; no refund after. |
| Annual subscription |
USD 79.99 to USD 99.99 |

| Promotional trial |
Free for 7 or 30 days |
Converts to standard plan on day 8 or day 31 |
Refund eligible only if you cancel before the trial-to-paid conversion date. |
In accordance with Philippine law, Age Of Learning's stated refund policy applies only if you request a refund within the specified window. Consequently, if you cancel after the 30-day refund eligibility window closes, you forfeit the right to a refund for that billing cycle. Nevertheless, if you can demonstrate that a charge occurred after you submitted a valid cancellation request, you retain the legal right to demand a refund under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, regardless of Age Of Learning's published refund window.
How to request a refund
To initiate a refund request, contact Age Of Learning's support team:
- Email: [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Request for [Your Email Address]".
- Include your account email, the date of the charge you dispute, and the amount in USD.
- Explain whether you are requesting a refund under the 30-day trial period, or if the charge occurred after you submitted a cancellation request.
- Attach a screenshot of the charge from your bank or payment platform.
- Yafee recommends sending this request during Age Of Learning's business hours (Monday-Friday, 4:00 AM to 6:00 PM PST) to maximize the chance of a rapid response.
Age Of Learning typically processes refund approvals within 5 to 10 business days. The refund posts to your original payment method 3 to 5 business days after approval.
What happens after you cancel your subscription
Cancellation is final and takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately upon request.
Your account status post-cancellation
Once your cancellation is processed, your account enters a read-only state. Your child can log in and review completed lessons and progress reports, but cannot access new learning content or complete additional activities. Age Of Learning typically preserves your account data for 60 to 90 days after cancellation; after this period, the company may delete your child's learning history, activity records, and profile information. If you wish to preserve your child's progress, download or screenshot any reports before your cancellation takes effect.
Stopping automatic renewal charges
If you cancel directly through Age Of Learning's website account settings or via postal mail, the company flags your account for non-renewal. Provided your cancellation request reached the company at least 5 business days before your billing date, no charge should post on your next renewal date. If a charge appears after you have canceled, Yafee advises contacting your bank or payment provider immediately to dispute the transaction as unauthorized.
If you canceled through Apple App Store or Google Play, both platforms send you a cancellation confirmation email. Your subscription remains active through the end of the current billing period and terminates automatically on your next renewal date. No charges occur after the termination date.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Thousands of Filipino families have faced unexpected charges after believing they canceled Age Of Learning; the mistakes listed below are entirely preventable with care.
Mistake 1: canceling in the wrong location
If you purchased through the Apple App Store, canceling through your Age Of Learning account does nothing. Your subscription continues and you are charged again. Conversely, if you bought directly from Age Of Learning's website and cancel through Google Play, the cancellation fails. Always verify your original purchase source and cancel through the platform where you subscribed.
Mistake 2: confusing cancellation with account deletion
Deleting your Age Of Learning account does not cancel your subscription. The company maintains a separate subscription record linked to your email address. Many parents delete their account, believe the subscription has ended, and then receive another charge weeks later. Always cancel your subscription explicitly before deleting your account.
Mistake 3: canceling without written confirmation
If you cancel online and do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, your cancellation request may not have been submitted. Always screenshot the confirmation page and save any email Age Of Learning sends. If no confirmation arrives, contact support by email to verify the cancellation was processed.
Mistake 4: submitting cancellation after the billing date
Age Of Learning processes renewals at midnight Pacific Time on your billing date. If you submit a cancellation request after midnight on your billing date, the company will likely charge you again before stopping the renewal. Submit your cancellation at least 5 to 10 days before your next billing date to guarantee the charge does not process.
Mistake 5: failing to document the cancellation request
If you telephone Age Of Learning support or chat with a representative and they confirm your cancellation verbally, that confirmation alone is insufficient proof under Philippine law. The company may deny receiving the request if a charge appears later. Always follow up a verbal or chat cancellation with a written email to [email protected] restating the cancellation request and asking for written confirmation.

Escalation: filing a complaint with the department of trade and industry
If Age Of Learning refuses to honor your cancellation request or declines to refund an unauthorized charge, you may escalate your complaint to the Philippine government.
When to file a DTI complaint
You have grounds to file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Bureau of Consumer Protection if any of the following occurs:
- You submitted a cancellation request and Age Of Learning charged you again.
- The company refused to provide a refund for charges after your cancellation date.
- Age Of Learning ignored your refund request for more than 14 days without explanation.
- The company denies receiving your cancellation despite your proof of submission.
- A charge appeared on your account that you did not authorize.
How to file a DTI complaint
Yafee outlines the escalation process below:
- Gather all documentation: cancellation request (email, screenshot, or letter), confirmation messages, bank or credit card statements showing the disputed charge, and any correspondence with Age Of Learning support.
- Visit the DTI website at www.dti.gov.ph or visit your nearest DTI Consumer Protection Bureau office in person.
- Obtain a Complaint Form for Unfair or Unjust Acts or Practices (the standard form varies by region; your local DTI office provides it).
- Complete the form with your full name, contact number, email address, and a detailed description of the issue. Attach copies (never originals) of all documentation.
- Submit the form to the DTI office serving your province or city. You may file by post, email, or in person.
- The DTI Bureau of Consumer Protection issues Age Of Learning a formal notice and provides the company 15 days to respond to your complaint.
- If Age Of Learning fails to respond or offers an unsatisfactory resolution, the DTI may impose penalties or recommend mediation.
Filing a DTI complaint is free and requires no lawyer. The government authority pursues the claim on your behalf.
