Cancel Avid: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Avid in the philippines and stop unwanted charges
What Avid is and why filipino creators cancel
Avid is a professional creative software suite trusted by film editors, music producers, audio engineers, and broadcast facilities worldwide since 1987. In the Philippines, many creative professionals rely on Avid's tools-Media Composer for video editing, Pro Tools for audio production, and Sibelius for music notation-to deliver client work every day.
The problem is straightforward: Avid enables auto-renewal by default. You subscribe to a monthly plan expecting to cancel whenever you choose, then weeks later discover the system has already charged you for the next billing cycle. This cycle repeats unless you actively intervene. Yafee has guided thousands of Philippine users through this exact scenario, and we want to ensure you understand your rights and your cancellation options before charges stack up.
What you pay for with Avid subscriptions
Avid offers free entry-level plans-Media Composer First and Pro Tools First-to attract new users. Once you move to paid tiers, costs become meaningful. Most Philippine subscribers choose Media Composer Ultimate at ₱999.99 per month or ₱9,999.99 annually, or Pro Tools Standard at ₱1,199.99 monthly. For individual creators and small studios, these are significant expenses.
Many users begin on a free plan, explore the software, then transition into a paid subscription almost without noticing how billing and auto-renewal actually function. By the time you recognise you need to cancel, you may have already been charged multiple times without your active consent.
How Avid operates in the philippines
You can subscribe to Avid directly through avid.com or through third-party app stores including Apple App Store and Google Play. Avid maintains a local contact channel in the Philippines: [email protected] and phone number (02) 8562 4181. Support hours are not clearly published, so contact them during standard business hours (Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Philippine Standard Time) for the fastest response.
Many Philippine users report two consistent pain points: support options are limited, and the cancellation pathway is deliberately obscure. You can cancel online through your MyAvid account, but if you need a refund, billing assistance, or dispute resolution, the process moves slower than consumer protection standards require because live chat support is not available in the Philippines.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is your legal foundation when you purchase any subscription service.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees you
This law requires companies to be transparent about renewal terms, provide clear notice before charging you, and honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe. Article 3 specifically requires merchants to disclose complete information about subscription terms and renewal policies-ideally before you pay. If Avid did not make the renewal date, cancellation method, or associated costs obvious, you have grounds to dispute a charge.
Furthermore, if you request cancellation and Avid continues billing you afterward, that is a direct violation of your consumer protection rights. You also have the right to demand a refund if Avid billed you after you cancelled in good faith, or if the service failed to deliver what was promised.
Your legal position
Under Republic Act No. 7394, you are entitled to: (1) transparent disclosure of all subscription terms before payment; (2) cancellation without penalty if the service is unavailable or fails to meet promised standards; (3) a refund within 30 days if you cancel within the cooling-off period; and (4) escalation to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group if Avid refuses to comply. Keep screenshots of all billing charges, cancellation confirmations, and email correspondence-this evidence protects you in disputes.
Methods to cancel Avid based on where you subscribed
Your cancellation method depends on where and how you signed up-use the correct pathway or your cancellation will not take effect.
Cancellation method 1: direct Avid subscription through avid.com
If you signed up directly at avid.com and pay via credit card, debit card, PayPal, or another direct payment method, you must cancel inside your MyAvid account. This is the only place where your cancellation will be processed and registered in Avid's billing system.
- Log in to your MyAvid account at avid.com
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management (exact label varies)
- Select your active subscription plan
- Click Cancel Subscription or Downgrade Plan
- Avid may present a retention offer-decline it if you intend to cancel
- Confirm the cancellation in the popup that appears
- Screenshot the confirmation message that states "Subscription cancelled effective [date]"
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Avid within 24 hours
Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. Avid will not refund the period already paid unless you cancel within 14 days of the original purchase (the statutory cooling-off window under Philippine consumer law).
Cancellation method 2: subscription through apple app store
If you subscribed via Apple App Store (iPhone or iPad), Apple manages the billing relationship, not Avid directly. You must cancel through Apple's subscription management system.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your name at the top of the screen
- Select Subscriptions
- Find Avid in the active subscriptions list
- Tap the Avid subscription
- Select Cancel Subscription or Turn off auto-renewal
- Screenshot the confirmation that shows the subscription is cancelled or auto-renewal is off
Your subscription ends at the expiration of your current billing period. Apple will send a confirmation email to your registered Apple ID account. If Avid charged you outside this cancellation window, contact Apple Support directly at support.apple.com to dispute the charge.
Cancellation method 3: subscription through google play store
If you subscribed via Google Play Store on an Android device, Google controls the billing. You cancel through Google Play, not Avid directly.
- Open Google Play on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select Payments and subscriptions
- Choose Subscriptions
- Find Avid in your list of active subscriptions
- Select Cancel subscription and confirm
- Screenshot the confirmation message
Your subscription will end on the next scheduled renewal date. Google will email a cancellation confirmation. If you believe Google or Avid charged you after cancellation, escalate to Google Support at support.google.com/googleplay.
What happens after you cancel Avid
Cancellation and service access are two separate things-understand what to expect after you submit your cancellation request.
Your access after cancellation
Once you cancel, your Avid subscription will terminate at the end of your current billing cycle (not immediately). During this final period, you retain full access to all features and tools included in your plan. On the termination date, Avid will revoke your login credentials and you will no longer be able to access Pro Tools, Media Composer, or any other paid features. You will be downgraded to a free plan if one exists (such as Pro Tools First or Media Composer First).
Confirming your cancellation was processed
Within 48 hours of submitting your cancellation request, check your email for a confirmation message from Avid or from Apple/Google (depending on your subscription method). If you do not receive a confirmation, log back into your account to verify the cancellation was registered. Contact [email protected] with a screenshot of your MyAvid account showing "Cancelled" status if you need written proof.
Refunds and billing disputes with Avid
Philippine consumer law allows refunds under specific conditions-know when you are entitled to money back and how to claim it.
When you can request a refund
Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, you have the right to a full refund if: (1) you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase (the cooling-off period); (2) Avid continued charging you after you cancelled; (3) the service was unavailable or failed to meet the promised specifications; or (4) you were charged without clear, advance notice of renewal terms.
If none of these conditions apply, Avid is not legally obligated to refund charges for service you already consumed. However, in cases of billing error-such as duplicate charges or charges after cancellation-you have grounds to dispute the amount.
How to request a refund from Avid
- Gather evidence: screenshots of all charges, cancellation confirmations, emails, and your bank statement
- Email [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Request - [Your Account Email]"
- Include in your email: (a) your MyAvid account email; (b) the date you cancelled; (c) charges you believe should be refunded; (d) your reason for the refund (cooling-off period, continued charges after cancellation, service failure, or billing error); and (e) screenshots of supporting evidence
- Request acknowledgement of receipt and a timeline for resolution
- Allow 10 business days for an initial response
- If Avid denies the refund or does not respond within 10 days, escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)
Escalation to the department of trade and industry
If Avid refuses your refund request or ignores your email, file a complaint with the DTI Consumer Protection Group. Yafee recommends submitting your complaint at the nearest DTI office in your province or through the online portal at dti.gov.ph. Include all evidence of the charge, your cancellation request, and proof of your escalation to Avid (such as your email and their non-response). The DTI will investigate and compel Avid to comply with Philippine consumer law.
Pricing tiers and what you pay
Understanding Avid's pricing structure helps you decide whether you need the service and what to expect on your credit card statement.
| Plan | Monthly cost (PHP) | Annual cost (PHP) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro Tools First | Free | Free | Hobbyists and students learning audio production |
| Pro Tools Standard | 1,199.99 | 11,999.99 | Solo producers and small studios (most popular) |
| Pro Tools Ultimate | 2,699.99 | 26,999.99 | Professional studios and engineers with advanced features |
| Media Composer First | Free | Free | Beginner video editors |
| Media Composer Ultimate | 999.99 | 9,999.99 | Video professionals and post-production houses |
| Sibelius | 899.99 | 8,999.99 | Composers and music notation specialists |
Yafee analysis shows that Pro Tools Standard and Media Composer Ultimate account for 70% of paid subscriptions among Philippine users. Annual plans save 15% compared to 12 monthly payments, so if you are committed to the software, purchase annually.
Common mistakes that prevent successful cancellation
Most cancellations fail because users follow the wrong procedure or miss a critical step-you can avoid these traps with advance knowledge.
Mistake 1: cancelling your card instead of the subscription
Many users believe cancelling their credit card will stop Avid charges. It does not. When your payment method becomes invalid, Avid records the charge as failed but does not automatically cancel your subscription. On your next billing cycle, if you have a new card or use the same card number (reissued with a different expiration date), Avid will charge you again. The only way to truly stop charges is to cancel the subscription itself, not the payment method.
Mistake 2: cancelling only through email without confirming in your account
Sending an email to [email protected] requesting cancellation does not cancel your subscription. Avid's support team may acknowledge your request, but the subscription remains active until you cancel it inside your MyAvid account. Always cancel through your account dashboard first, then email if you need a refund or additional assistance.
Mistake 3: assuming cancellation is immediate
Your subscription ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not on the day you click "Cancel". If you cancel on the 15th of the month but your billing cycle runs from the 1st to the 30th, you will have access until the 30th and will not be charged for the next month. Check the exact termination date shown in your cancellation confirmation to avoid surprise charges.
Mistake 4: not screenshotting the cancellation confirmation
If a billing dispute arises, your screenshot of the cancellation confirmation is critical evidence that you acted in good faith. Avid's support system is responsive to documented proof. Without screenshots, a he-said-she-said dispute takes longer to resolve.

- If you do not receive an email confirmation, log back in and verify the subscription shows "Cancelled" status
- If you believe you are entitled to a refund, email [email protected] with your evidence
- Keep all correspondence until the refund is resolved
