Constant Contact is an email marketing platform built for small businesses and non-profits to design campaigns, build contact lists, and track email performance. If you've signed up but the service no longer fits your needs-or you're paying for features you don't use-cancelling is straightforward once you follow the correct procedure.
At Yafee, we help consumers navigate cancellation processes across business tools, subscription services, and digital platforms. Understanding your cancellation options and legal protections under Singapore law ensures you exit cleanly without losing money or facing hidden charges.
Core features and typical use cases
Constant Contact specialises in newsletter design, event invitations, and basic email automation for customer outreach. Most users appreciate its intuitive template builder and ease of use, which explains its popularity with small organisations. However, the subscription model means costs accumulate quickly if you're not actively using the platform or if you've outgrown the service.
Pricing in singapore dollars
Constant Contact bills in US dollars, so your actual SGD cost depends on the exchange rate at the time of purchase. Your bank or credit card issuer will convert the USD charge to SGD using their rate, which may differ from Constant Contact's quoted rate. Here's what the standard plans cost in both currencies:
| Plan name |
Monthly cost (USD) |
Singapore dollars (approx.) |
Best for |
| Lite |
US$12.00 |
SGD $16-17 |
Up to 500 contacts; 1 user; basic email campaigns |
| Standard |
US$35.00 |
SGD $47-48 |
Up to 500 contacts; 3 users; automation and segmentation |
| Premium |
US$80.00 |
SGD $108-110 |
All features; unlimited users; advanced analytics and integrations |
Pro tip: Convert the USD prices to SGD using your bank's exchange rate at the time of purchase. Constant Contact's quoted rate may differ, so confirm what you'll actually pay on your statement before committing to a plan. This protects you from unexpected currency conversion charges.
Your consumer protection rights in singapore
Singapore law grants you specific protections when cancelling digital services and subscriptions. Understanding these rights is essential before you contact Constant Contact's support team.
What singapore law says about cancellations and refunds
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) protects you against unfair contract terms and misleading practices. While Constant Contact's published terms typically state that prepaid fees are non-refundable, you have statutory rights that may override these terms in certain circumstances.
Constant Contact does not advertise a statutory 14-day cooling-off period for Singapore consumers. However, if the company terminates your service without legitimate cause, or if you believe you've been subjected to unfair practices or misleading information about the service, you may have grounds to dispute their no-refund position. The burden of proof rests with you, so document everything: your signup date, billing records, email confirmations, and any communications with support.
At Yafee, we recommend keeping a record of your cancellation request and any responses from the company. This documentation strengthens your position if you need to escalate to a consumer authority later.
When to escalate to a consumer authority
If Constant Contact refuses to refund you and you believe their terms are unfair or their conduct breaches the CPFTA, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE investigates disputes, facilitates resolution between consumers and businesses, and can advise you on your legal position. Visit their website to file a complaint if you've exhausted direct support channels with Constant Contact.
Your legal position: Under the CPFTA, you have the right to fair contract terms and transparent information about charges. If Constant Contact misrepresents the service, locks you into automatic renewal without clear consent, or charges you after you've cancelled, CASE can investigate and pursue remedies on your behalf. You are not bound by unfair terms that contradict statutory rights.
Constant Contact offers multiple cancellation methods. The most reliable route for Singapore customers is direct contact with the support team, which provides written confirmation of your cancellation request.
Cancel via telephone support
Calling Constant Contact's customer support team ensures you speak directly with a representative and obtain immediate confirmation of your cancellation request.
- Call Constant Contact Customer Support at +1 781 472 8120 (international line; available for Singapore callers)
- This is an international call from Singapore, so check your phone plan to avoid unexpected charges
- Consider using internet-based calling (Skype, WhatsApp) to reduce costs
- Have your account email address and billing details ready before you call
- Locate your most recent invoice to confirm your exact plan and billing cycle
- Tell the support agent clearly that you want to cancel your subscription effective immediately or at the end of your current billing cycle
- State your preference: immediate cancellation stops all charges now; end-of-cycle allows you to use the service until your paid period ends
- Ask for a written cancellation confirmation email before ending the call
- Do not disconnect without this confirmation
- The email must include your cancellation date, the date your access ends, and confirmation that no further charges will be applied
- Save the confirmation email and note the agent's name and call reference number
- Screenshot the confirmation if possible to preserve the timestamp
Cancel via the online account portal
If you prefer to cancel without making an international call, you can manage your subscription through Constant Contact's online account dashboard.
- Log into your Constant Contact account at the official website
- Use the email address associated with your account
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section
- Look for "Billing", "Subscription", "Plan", or "Account Settings" tabs
- Locate the option to cancel, downgrade, or pause your subscription
- Read any warnings or retention offers carefully, but proceed if you've decided to leave
- Select "Cancel subscription" and follow the on-screen prompts
- The system may offer a discount or pause option; decline these if you're certain you want to cancel
- Confirm your cancellation and request an email receipt
- Take a screenshot of the final confirmation page showing the cancellation effective date
- Check your inbox (including spam folder) for a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours
- If you don't receive a confirmation, log back in to verify your subscription status
- If the system shows you're still active, contact support immediately using the telephone method above
Cancel by written notice via post
If you prefer a formal written record, you can send a registered cancellation notice by post. While Constant Contact's official documentation emphasizes cancellation via phone or online interface, written notice by registered mail creates a legal paper trail and confirms receipt by the company.
- Prepare a formal cancellation letter on your letterhead or plain paper
- Include your full name, account email address, billing address, and account number (if known)
- State the date you want the cancellation to take effect
- Use clear language: "I hereby request cancellation of my Constant Contact subscription effective [date]"
- Request written confirmation of the cancellation
- Send the letter via registered post or courier to Constant Contact's registered address
- Request proof of delivery and keep the receipt
- Constant Contact's mailing address for administrative notices can be found in your account settings or on the company's website; confirm the current address before sending
- Retain the proof of delivery document and a copy of your cancellation letter
- This evidence proves you notified the company and when they received it
- Monitor your account and billing statements for the next 30 days
- If charges continue after the cancellation date you specified, take a screenshot and contact support immediately with your proof of delivery
Cancellation takes effect on different dates depending on how and when you cancel. Understanding the timeline protects you from accidental charges and ensures you know when your access ends.
Immediate vs. end-of-cycle cancellation
When you cancel, Constant Contact offers two options. Immediate cancellation stops your access and charges today, while end-of-cycle cancellation allows you to use the service until your paid period expires, with no renewal charge. Choose immediate cancellation if you need to stop using the platform right away and don't expect refunds; choose end-of-cycle if you want to export data or finish existing campaigns.
Most Singapore customers opt for end-of-cycle cancellation to avoid losing access mid-campaign. However, if you're charged after your cancellation date, Yafee recommends contacting support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email and requesting a refund of the unauthorised charge.
Access to your data and exports
After you cancel, you typically retain access to your account dashboard and contact lists for a limited period (usually 30 days). Use this window to export your data, contact lists, and campaign history before the account is deactivated. Download your email lists in CSV format so you can migrate them to another platform or retain them for your records.
Contact Constant Contact support if you need help exporting data or if you cannot access your account after cancellation. Keep copies of your exported data indefinitely, as the company is not obliged to retain your information after account closure.
Monitoring your billing statements
Check your credit card or bank statement for 60 days after your cancellation date. Verify that no charges appear on your bill after the cancellation takes effect. If you see a charge from Constant Contact after you've cancelled, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the transaction. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Refunds and failed charges
Constant Contact's standard policy treats prepaid subscription fees as non-refundable. However, Singapore's consumer protection framework may entitle you to a refund or credit in specific circumstances.
When you might qualify for a refund
You may have grounds for a refund if Constant Contact fails to deliver the service as promised, if the company breaches your contract by terminating your access without cause, or if you believe you were subjected to unfair contract terms or misleading information at signup. For example, if the platform was down for an extended period during your billing cycle, you could request a prorated refund for the downtime.
To request a refund, contact Constant Contact support in writing with evidence of your claim. Reference the specific clause of the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act you believe the company has breached. If the company refuses, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) with documentation of your dispute and all correspondence with Constant Contact.
Charges after cancellation
If you continue to see charges from Constant Contact after your cancellation takes effect, do not ignore them. Dispute the charges with your bank or card issuer immediately, citing your cancellation confirmation email as proof. Your bank can reverse unauthorized charges and open a dispute investigation on your behalf. At the same time, contact Constant Contact support and demand an explanation in writing. If the company cannot justify the charge, request a full refund.
Pricing comparison and when to cancel

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is simple, but certain missteps can delay the process or leave you liable for unwanted charges. Stay alert and follow these guidelines to protect yourself.
Not obtaining written confirmation
Your strongest protection is written confirmation from Constant Contact stating your cancellation date and that no future charges will apply. Never cancel by phone without requesting an email confirmation, and never rely on verbal assurances. If the company later charges you, a written confirmation email gives you proof that you notified them and proof of their undertaking not to charge.
Cancelling immediately before a billing date
If your billing date is tomorrow and you cancel today, Constant Contact may process tomorrow's charge before the cancellation takes effect. To avoid this, log into your account today and check your exact billing date. If it's within 7 days, consider contacting support to request that the cancellation take effect before the next charge posts. Alternatively, cancel now and request an end-of-cycle cancellation so you can use the service until the charge date.
Assuming automatic cancellation after a failed payment
If your credit card payment fails, Constant Contact may retry the charge for several days. The company does not automatically cancel your subscription after a single failed payment. You must manually cancel to stop the retries. If you've experienced payment issues, cancel immediately through the account portal or phone support to prevent multiple declined charges from appearing on your statement.
Not checking your statement after cancellation
Billing errors occur. If you don't monitor your statement for 60 days after cancellation, you may miss fraudulent or erroneous charges and lose the ability to dispute them. Set a calendar reminder to check your statement one week after the cancellation takes effect, and again at day 30 and day 60. If you spot a charge, contact your bank immediately.
Cancelling if you purchased through a reseller or affiliate
If you signed up for Constant Contact through an affiliate partner, reseller, or agency rather than directly on Constant Contact's website, your cancellation process may differ. You may need to cancel through the reseller's portal, or you may need to contact both Constant Contact and the reseller to ensure the subscription terminates cleanly.
Log into the account dashboard where you signed up. If you used a reseller's platform, look for subscription management options there first. If you're unsure whether you signed up directly or through a partner, check your first invoice-it will specify who billed you. Contact that entity (either Constant Contact or the reseller) to initiate cancellation. At Yafee, we've seen disputes arise when customers cancel with one party but the other continues to charge, so confirm with both that the subscription is terminated.
