Frequently asked questions
Cancel Terraform: The Right Way
How to cancel Terraform and stop recurring charges in the philippines
Terraform is infrastructure-as-code software that powers cloud resource management across thousands of organisations in the Philippines. Many users activate HCP Terraform's paid features for team collaboration and workflow automation, only to discover recurring monthly charges they no longer need. Yafee has compiled this guide to walk you through cancellation, refunds, and your consumer rights under Philippine law.
Understanding Terraform and why you might be charged
Terraform exists in two forms: the free, open-source tool and HCP Terraform, a commercial platform with managed features. You are likely charged if you subscribed to HCP Terraform, which bundles state management, run approvals, and cost estimation into tiered pricing plans.
The charge trap is simple. You activated a free trial or paid plan, forgot about it, and the subscription auto-renewed each month. Many Filipino businesses discover unexpected charges on their credit card statement months after their infrastructure project ended. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers stop these charges by following the exact steps outlined below.
Free versus paid Terraform features
The open-source version of Terraform is entirely free. You incur no charges simply by using the tool to manage your cloud infrastructure locally. Costs only arise when you subscribe to HCP Terraform, which offers three paid tiers: Essentials, Standard, and Premium.
Pricing in the Philippines is resource-based and monthly. Terraform charges per managed resource across all tiers. Essentials costs approximately ₱6 per resource monthly, Standard runs about ₱27 per resource monthly, and Premium reaches around ₱56 per resource monthly. These PHP amounts are converted from Terraform's USD pricing at the current exchange rate (typically 1 USD = 56.5 PHP), since the platform publishes all rates in US dollars.
Cost escalation happens when your workspace grows. Managing 100 resources on the Premium tier means ₱5,600 monthly charges. Many teams overpay because they forget to downgrade after completing projects or never cancel at all.
Terraform availability and support in the philippines
Terraform operates globally, including the Philippines, but local support is limited. The platform offers no Tagalog language option, and all documentation is published in English. Customer support is available 24/7 via email at [email protected], but there is no dedicated Philippine phone line or live chat function.
This means cancellation must occur through your HCP Terraform web account or via email. You cannot cancel by phone or through a local customer service representative. Yafee recommends documenting all cancellation communication in writing so you retain evidence of your request.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is your legal foundation when cancelling subscriptions and pursuing refunds.
What the consumer act of the philippines says about subscriptions
The Consumer Act of the Philippines protects your right to cancel any subscription service. The law does not mandate a universal cooling-off period for digital services like Terraform, which means you cannot automatically claim a refund simply because you changed your mind days after purchase.
However, you retain the absolute right to cancel at any time. Furthermore, you must not be charged after your cancellation takes legal effect. If Terraform continues charging you post-cancellation, that constitutes a breach of your consumer rights under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, and you can escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel Terraform whenever you choose. You have the right to demand cessation of charges after cancellation. You have the right to file a consumer complaint with the DTI if the company refuses to honour your cancellation.
Escalation path if Terraform refuses to stop charging
If you cancel Terraform and continue to receive charges, contact [email protected] in writing with your cancellation date, confirmation number, and evidence of the unwanted charge. Allow 7 business days for a response. If Terraform refuses to refund you without valid reason, file a complaint with the DTI Consumer Protection Group in your region.
The DTI has authority to investigate unauthorised billing and order refunds. Save all email correspondence, billing statements, and cancellation screenshots. These documents form your evidence file.
Terraform pricing in the philippines
Understanding your Terraform costs helps you decide whether to cancel and what refund to expect.
| Tier | Monthly cost per resource (PHP) | Annual commitment | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | ₱6 | Discounts available | Small teams, starting projects |
| Standard | ₱27 | Discounts available | Growing teams, policy as code |
| Premium | ₱56 | Discounts available | Enterprise, full governance |
| Free (open-source) | ₱0 | No commitment | Local development, testing |
Your total monthly bill = tier rate multiplied by the number of managed resources. If you use 40 resources on the Standard tier, you pay ₱1,080 monthly (₱27 × 40). Yafee recommends auditing your resource count before cancellation so you know exactly what charges to dispute if necessary.
Step-by-step cancellation process for Terraform
Cancelling Terraform takes 5 to 10 minutes if you follow this exact procedure and have your login details ready.
Step 1: log in to your HCP Terraform account
- Navigate to app.terraform.io in your web browser.
- Enter your email address and password.
- Complete two-factor authentication if enabled on your account.
If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot your password?" on the login page and follow the reset email sent to your registered address. This recovery process takes 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2: access your account settings and billing section
- Click the user icon in the top-right corner of your dashboard.
- Select Account settings from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the Billing and usage tab on the left sidebar.
You will see a summary of your current plan, monthly costs, and upcoming charges. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of this page for your records before proceeding to cancellation.
Step 3: review your current subscription plan
- Locate the section labelled "Plan and costs" on the Billing and usage page.
- Note your current tier (Essentials, Standard, or Premium).
- Confirm the number of resources you are managing.
- Check the renewal date of your subscription.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Billing and usage page.

- Select Cancel my subscription from the options presented.
- Choose your reason for cancellation from the dropdown list (optional but recommended for feedback).
- Click Continue to proceed to the final confirmation screen.
- Review the cancellation summary on the final screen.
- Confirm that you understand you will lose access to HCP Terraform features after the cancellation date.

This information helps you understand your final charge and whether you qualify for a prorated refund if you cancel mid-month.
Step 4: initiate the cancellation request
Terraform will display your final charges and explain what happens to your infrastructure after cancellation. Do not proceed until you understand the implications.
Step 5: confirm cancellation and receive confirmation
Your cancellation is now active. You will not be charged after the date shown in your confirmation message. Your infrastructure continues to exist in your cloud provider account but will no longer be managed through HCP Terraform's interface.
Step 6: verify the cancellation in your billing history
This email serves as your official receipt of cancellation. Yafee recommends saving this email in a dedicated folder for future reference if you need to file a consumer complaint.
Refund eligibility and timeline in the philippines
Terraform's refund policy depends on whether you cancel mid-month or at your billing renewal date.
Prorated refunds for mid-month cancellations
If you cancel before the end of your billing cycle, Terraform typically issues a prorated refund for the unused portion of your subscription. For example, if you paid ₱1,000 for a full month but cancel on day 15, you receive a credit of approximately ₱500 toward future purchases or a direct refund to your original payment method.
The exact refund amount depends on when you cancel relative to your monthly renewal date. Terraform processes refunds within 5 to 10 business days of cancellation. Check your credit card or bank account during this window.
No refund if you cancel at renewal
If you cancel on your renewal date, you do not receive a refund because no charges have occurred in the new cycle. You are simply preventing the next month's charge.
If you discover you were charged despite cancellation, contact [email protected] with your cancellation confirmation number and billing statement. This is where your saved screenshots become critical evidence.
Requesting a refund from Terraform support
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Refund request for HCP Terraform account [your email address]". Include the following in your message:
Allow 7 business days for a response. Terraform support typically approves refund requests if you cancelled before the renewal date or if charges occurred after your cancellation date.
What happens to your infrastructure after cancellation
Cancelling HCP Terraform does not delete your infrastructure in your cloud provider (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.). It only removes your access to Terraform's management platform.
Your resources remain running
Your cloud resources continue to run and incur charges from your cloud provider. You remain responsible for those charges. Cancelling Terraform does not stop your AWS EC2 instances, Google Compute Engine VMs, or Azure virtual machines from running.
Disconnecting from Terraform state
Your Terraform state files are stored in HCP Terraform's secure backend. After cancellation, you lose access to this state through the web interface. You can download your state files before cancellation by contacting [email protected] or by using the Terraform CLI if you have local access to your configuration.
This is critical: without your state files, you may struggle to manage your infrastructure through Terraform in the future. Yafee strongly recommends downloading or exporting your state before completing cancellation.
Downgrading instead of cancelling
If you want to keep using Terraform but reduce costs, consider downgrading from Premium to Standard or from Standard to Essentials instead of cancelling entirely. Use the "Downgrade or cancel" button in your billing settings to explore this option. Downgrading reduces your monthly bill without losing access to your state files.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Terraform
Most cancellation frustrations stem from easily avoidable errors. Take care with these common pitfalls, and your cancellation will be smooth and final.
Forgetting to export your state before cancellation
Once you cancel, you lose web access to your Terraform state files. If you plan to use Terraform again or migrate to another platform, export your state files first. Use the Terraform CLI command terraform state pull to download your state locally, or contact Terraform support for a bulk export.
Not checking for ongoing auto-renewals
Terraform auto-renews on your billing date. If you cancel on day 20 of a 30-day cycle but your renewal is on day 25, you will receive one final charge. Always confirm your exact renewal date before cancelling so you understand your final bill.
Cancelling without documentation
Do not rely on memory. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation, save the confirmation email, and note the cancellation date. If Terraform charges you post-cancellation, these documents are your proof for filing a DTI consumer complaint.
Assuming cancellation means infrastructure deletion
Your cloud resources remain active and incurring charges from your cloud provider. Cancelling Terraform does not shut down your instances, databases, or storage buckets. You must manually terminate these resources in your cloud provider's console if you no longer need them.
Missing the refund window
Terraform processes refunds within 5 to 10 business days. Check your bank account and credit card statements during this window. If 15 business days pass without a refund appearing, contact [email protected] to ask for the refund status.
Comparison: keeping Terraform versus cancelling
This table helps you decide whether cancellation is right for your situation.
| Scenario | Keep Terraform | Cancel Terraform |
|---|---|---|
| You manage cloud resources actively and need team collaboration | Keep | |
| You finished your project and no longer use Terraform | Cancel | |
| Your costs are too high but you still use Terraform regularly | Downgrade instead | |
| You use only the free, open-source version locally | Already free | |
| You forgot about the subscription and do not use HCP Terraform | Cancel immediately | |
| You need to migrate to another infrastructure tool | Cancel after migration |
Most Filipino organisations cancel because their infrastructure project ended or budgets tightened. Yafee recommends reviewing your Terraform usage monthly to catch unused subscriptions early.
After cancellation: your next steps
Cancellation is complete, but several follow-up actions protect your interests and ensure no surprises arrive later.
Monitor your billing for unexpected charges
Check your credit card and bank statements for the next 30 days. Confirm that no charges appear after your cancellation date. If a charge appears post-cancellation, note the date and amount immediately.
Terminate your cloud infrastructure if necessary
Remember that Terraform cancellation does not stop your cloud resources. Log in to your AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure console and manually terminate any instances, databases, or storage you no longer need. This is your responsibility and affects your cloud provider charges, not Terraform charges.
Delete your cloud provider credentials from Terraform
If you did not export your state before cancellation, Terraform may still hold credentials or API keys linked to your cloud provider. For security, revoke these credentials in your cloud provider's console and generate new ones if you plan to use Terraform again in the future.
File a DTI consumer complaint if charges continue
If Terraform charges you after your cancellation date, escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry Consumer Protection Group. Visit the DTI website, download the consumer complaint form, and submit it with evidence of your cancellation and the unwanted charges. The DTI will investigate and order a refund if your claim is valid.
Request account deletion (optional)
If you want Terraform to delete all your account data, contact [email protected] and request a data deletion request under Philippine data privacy law. Terraform typically honors these requests within 30 days, though you cannot recover your account or state files after deletion.
Your cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to ensure you complete every step and retain all necessary evidence.
