Frequently asked questions
Cancel Paper: The Complete Guide for Subscribers
How to cancel Paper subscription in the philippines: complete legal guide
What Paper is and how auto-renewal works
Paper is a subscription service that operates on automatic renewal, meaning your plan renews at the end of each billing cycle unless you actively cancel. Understanding this billing model is essential before you sign up, and critical when you decide to leave. At Yafee, we help thousands of Philippine subscribers navigate cancellation with clarity and confidence.
The subscription structure and renewal cycle
When you subscribe to Paper, you enter an automatic renewal agreement. The service imposes no minimum commitment period, which means you can cancel after your first billing cycle. The critical detail that catches many subscribers is that free trials automatically convert into paid subscriptions unless you cancel before the trial period ends. Your subscription renews on the same calendar date each month or year, depending on which plan you selected at signup.
The charge appears on your statement under Paper's name. If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play Store, the charge may instead show as "Apple iTunes" or "Google*Paper" on your bank statement. This misdirection often delays cancellation because subscribers fail to recognize the charge immediately and miss their cancellation window. At Yafee, we recommend checking your statement monthly to catch any unwanted renewals early.
Pricing structure in philippine pesos
Paper offers tiered plans in Philippine currency. Verify the exact amount on your account before you proceed with cancellation, as pricing may change. Local payment processing can introduce delays or additional processing fees, particularly for annual plans paid upfront.
| Plan type | Cost (PHP) | Billing cycle | Cancellation ease |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic monthly | ₱80.00 | Every 30 days | Easy |
| Premium monthly | ₱149.00 | Every 30 days | Easy |
| Annual plan | ₱1,490.00 | Every 365 days | Moderate (refund eligible) |
Your legal position under philippine consumer law
Philippine consumer protection law gives you enforceable rights when you cancel subscriptions, and Paper is legally bound to honor them.
Consumer act of the philippines and your rights
Republic Act No. 7394, known as the Consumer Act of the Philippines, protects you in every subscription transaction. Under this law, you have the right to cancel any subscription without penalty, provided you notify the merchant in accordance with the service terms. Furthermore, the law requires that Paper clearly disclose its automatic renewal terms and provide you with a straightforward cancellation mechanism. If Paper fails to offer a transparent cancellation method or charges you after you have cancelled, you have legal grounds to file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Additionally, if you cancel within a reasonable period after purchase (typically within 14 days for online transactions under Philippine e-commerce standards), you may be entitled to a refund of unused service. This protection is especially relevant for annual plans. If you paid ₱1,490.00 for the full year but cancelled after 60 days, you have the right to recover the proportional amount for the unused months.
Your legal position: You can cancel Paper at any time. Paper must process your cancellation within 5 business days. If Paper continues charging after your cancellation date, those charges are unlawful, and you can demand a refund plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum under Philippine law.
Enforcement through the department of trade and industry
If Paper ignores your cancellation request or continues charging after you cancel, your first escalation route is the DTI's Bureau of Trade Regulation and Consumer Protection (BTRCP). You can file a formal complaint at any DTI office or online at dti.gov.ph. Document every cancellation attempt, every email, every screenshot, and every unauthorized charge. The DTI has authority to order Paper to cease collection and reimburse you for all charges made after your cancellation notice.
For charges exceeding ₱25,000, you may also escalate to the National Bureau of Investigation Cybercrime Division if you suspect fraudulent billing. Yafee recommends keeping meticulous records of all communications with Paper to strengthen any complaint you file with regulatory authorities.
How to cancel your Paper subscription
Paper's terms require that cancellation requests be submitted in writing to the registered address provided in their terms and conditions document. Follow this procedure to ensure your cancellation is documented and legally binding.
Step 1: verify your account and billing details
Before you submit a cancellation request, log in to your Paper account and confirm your current plan, renewal date, and the exact amount you are being charged. Note the date your next renewal is scheduled. Take a screenshot or print a PDF of your account dashboard showing this information. This record becomes your proof of cancellation timing if a dispute arises later.
Step 2: prepare your written cancellation request
Yafee advises you to submit cancellation in writing to comply with Paper's terms. Your cancellation request must include the following elements:
- Your full name and registered email address on the account
- Your account ID or subscription reference number
- The current plan you are cancelling (Basic, Premium, or Annual)
- Your request for immediate cancellation or cancellation effective the next renewal date
- Your preferred outcome (cancellation only, or cancellation plus refund if applicable)
- Your current contact phone number and postal address in the Philippines
Step 3: locate the correct mailing address
Paper's terms and conditions document specifies the address to which you must mail your cancellation request. Check your signup confirmation email or your account settings for this address. If the address is not clearly listed, contact Paper's customer support via email first and request the official cancellation address in writing. Retain this email response as evidence of your inquiry.
Step 4: send your cancellation by registered mail
Do not send your cancellation request by ordinary email or regular post. Use registered mail with return receipt (available through the Philippine Post Office) to ensure Paper receives and must sign for your request. This creates an undisputed record of delivery. Address your envelope to Paper's cancellation address as stated in their terms.
Include the following in your envelope:
- Your written cancellation request (keep a copy for your records)
- A photocopy of your account screenshot showing your subscription details
- A photocopy of your government-issued ID for verification
- A request for written confirmation of cancellation within 5 business days
Step 5: follow up and request written confirmation
After you send your registered cancellation request, wait 5 business days for Paper to respond. If you do not receive written confirmation of cancellation within this timeframe, send a follow-up email to Paper's support team referencing your registered mail tracking number and asking for immediate written confirmation. Keep all email correspondence. At Yafee, we recommend setting a calendar reminder for the day before your next renewal date; if no confirmation has arrived by then, contact Paper again immediately.
Step 6: verify cancellation before the next renewal date
Log back into your Paper account 24 hours before your scheduled renewal date. Confirm that your subscription status now shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If your account still shows as active, do not wait. Contact Paper's customer support email immediately with your registered mail tracking number and request immediate suspension of the subscription to prevent unauthorized charging.
Understanding the refund eligibility window
Your right to a refund depends on when you cancel relative to your billing cycle and the plan type you purchased.
Refunds for monthly plans
If you cancel a monthly plan (Basic at ₱80.00 or Premium at ₱149.00) after paying for the current month, you are not automatically entitled to a refund for unused days in that month. However, if you cancel before your next renewal date and Paper processes the cancellation before renewal, no further charges should occur. If Paper charges you after your cancellation date, those charges are erroneous and must be refunded in full.
Refunds for annual plans
Annual plans deserve special attention. If you paid ₱1,490.00 upfront for a 365-day subscription and cancel within 14 days of purchase, Philippine e-commerce consumer protection standards entitle you to a full refund. If you cancel after 14 days but before your annual renewal, you may be entitled to a pro-rata refund based on the unused months. Calculate this as follows: (Number of unused days / 365) multiplied by ₱1,490.00. For example, if you cancel after 60 days of a 365-day plan, you have 305 days remaining, which equals approximately ₱1,243.00 in refund value.
Paper may attempt to deny this refund claiming no refund policy applies. Yafee advises you to dispute this in writing, citing the Consumer Act of the Philippines. If Paper refuses, file a complaint with the DTI citing Republic Act No. 7394 and request the DTI issue an order for refund with 6% per annum interest from the cancellation date.
What to expect after cancellation
Once your cancellation is processed, your subscription enters a wind-down period during which your access may continue until the current billing cycle ends, or access may terminate immediately depending on Paper's policy and your cancellation request.
Access and data retention after cancellation
Paper will typically allow you to access your account and data for a defined period after cancellation, often 30 days. This grace period allows you to download or export any content you created while subscribed. After this period, Paper may delete your account data. If you have important documents or files created through Paper, export them immediately after you cancel. Do not rely on Paper to store your data indefinitely after cancellation.
Monitoring for unauthorized charges
Check your bank statement and credit card or debit card transaction history for 60 days after your cancellation date. If you see any charge from Paper or its payment processor (Apple, Google, or your local payment provider) after your cancellation date, this is an unauthorized charge. Contact your bank immediately and initiate a dispute or chargeback. Simultaneously, send Paper a written demand for refund citing the date you cancelled and your registered mail tracking number.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Most cancellation disputes arise from procedural errors, not from Paper's outright refusal to cancel. Protect yourself by avoiding these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: relying on email alone
Paper's terms require written cancellation sent to a physical address, not email. If you only email your cancellation request, Paper can later claim it never received your request. Email is supplementary communication; registered mail is the legal requirement. Always use registered post for your initial cancellation demand.
Mistake 2: cancelling in the app or on the website without documentation
If Paper provides a cancellation button in the app or website, use it. However, do not assume this is sufficient if Paper's terms specify written notice to an address. After you click the cancel button, take a screenshot immediately showing the confirmation message. Then follow up by sending the registered mail request as well. This dual approach ensures you satisfy both the terms requirement and create a paper trail.
Mistake 3: missing the free trial window
If you signed up for a free trial, the trial period is your cancellation deadline to avoid the first charge. Mark your calendar on day 1 of the trial for when the trial ends, then cancel no later than 24 hours before that date. Many subscribers forget this detail and wake up to an unexpected ₱80.00 or ₱1,490.00 charge weeks later.
Mistake 4: not documenting the renewal date
Your renewal date is your most critical deadline. If you cancel on the same day as renewal, Paper will process the charge first, then may argue your cancellation arrived after payment was due. Always cancel at least 2 business days before renewal. Document the renewal date in writing when you first sign up, and update it if Paper notifies you of any changes.
Mistake 5: assuming bank transactions prove cancellation
A gap in charges does not prove cancellation. Paper may simply not have processed that month's renewal yet due to a system delay. Only written confirmation from Paper stating your account is "Cancelled" constitutes proof. Do not rely on the absence of a charge to confirm cancellation status.

Should you keep or cancel your Paper subscription?
This comparison helps you decide whether cancellation is right for your circumstances.
| Reason to keep Paper | Reason to cancel Paper |
|---|---|
| You actively use the service weekly or more | You have not logged in for more than 30 days |
| The plan price fits your budget | Paper's price has increased and you were not notified |
| You value the features and prefer them to competitors | A competitor offers the same features for less money |
| You are in an annual plan and within 14 days of signup | You are in an annual plan and past 14 days but want a pro-rata refund |
| You need access to data or files stored in the service | You have exported your data and no longer need the service |
| You have a specific contract with Paper (e.g., educational institution) | You subscribed in error or used a compromised payment method |
If Paper continues charging after cancellation
Should Paper ignore your cancellation request and charge you again after your cancellation date, follow this escalation sequence.
Step 1: demand refund in writing
Send Paper a formal written demand (again by registered mail) citing your original cancellation request date, your registered mail tracking number, the unauthorized charge amount, and the date charged. Demand a full refund within 5 business days. Yafee recommends stating that if the refund is not received within 5 business days, you will file a complaint with the DTI and dispute the charge with your bank.
Step 2: file a chargeback with your bank
Contact your bank and initiate a chargeback or dispute for the unauthorized charge. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation request, your registered mail receipt, and Paper's failure to refund. Your bank will contact Paper and demand the charge be reversed. Most unauthorized charges are reversed within 10 to 20 business days through this process.
Step 3: escalate to the department of trade and industry
If Paper does not refund within 5 business days and your bank chargeback is not resolved within 20 business days, file a formal complaint with the DTI's Bureau of Trade Regulation and Consumer Protection at dti.gov.ph or at your nearest DTI office. Submit the following documents:
- Your registered mail receipt and copy of cancellation request
- Screenshots of your account showing subscription details and the unauthorized charge
- Copies of all email correspondence with Paper
- Your bank statement showing the unauthorized charges
- A written narrative explaining the facts and your legal basis under Republic Act No. 7394
The DTI will investigate and, if the facts support your claim, will issue a cease and desist order against Paper and order a refund with interest.
Contacting Paper for cancellation
Paper requires cancellation to be submitted in writing to the address specified in their terms and conditions. Locate your copy of the Paper terms and conditions document to find the exact mailing address. This address typically appears in the final section of the terms under "Notices" or "Legal Address" headings.
If you cannot locate the address in your terms document, contact Paper's customer support email and request the official cancellation address in writing. Ask Paper to confirm the address in a reply email, which you should retain for your records.
Do not send your cancellation to general customer support email addresses. Use only the official legal address specified in the terms, sent by registered mail. This ensures compliance with Paper's stated cancellation procedure and creates an undisputed record of delivery.
Final advice from yafee
Cancelling your Paper subscription in the Philippines is straightforward if you follow the procedural steps outlined above and understand your rights under the Consumer Act of the Philippines. Paper cannot legally continue charging you after you submit a valid cancellation request. Your protection is anchored in Republic Act No. 7394, which is enforced by the Department of Trade and Industry with authority to order refunds and penalties.
The most common source of cancellation disputes is procedural confusion, not Paper's deliberate refusal to cancel. By sending your cancellation request by registered mail, documenting every step, and following up before your renewal date, you eliminate ambiguity and create a legally defensible record. If Paper refuses to honour your cancellation, the DTI has the power to compel refund and compensation.
Yafee has helped thousands of Philippine consumers cancel subscriptions successfully by providing clear legal guidance and practical procedures like the ones detailed in this guide. Whether you are cancelling an ₱80.00 monthly plan or a ₱1,490.00 annual subscription, the same legal principles and procedural safeguards apply. Use the checklist in this guide, retain all documentation, and do not hesitate to escalate to the DTI if Paper fails to honour your cancellation within 5 business days. Your rights are real, and Yafee is here to ensure you exercise them with confidence.
