How to cancel emastered in singapore: your complete legal guide
What emastered is and why you might choose to cancel
Emastered is an automated audio mastering platform designed for independent musicians, producers, and sound engineers who need professional-grade track enhancement without studio fees. The service uses artificial intelligence to analyse and refine your audio across multiple formats and bitrates. If you subscribed expecting unlimited masters but find the results inconsistent with your creative vision, or if the monthly cost no longer aligns with your budget, you have the right to cancel at any time under Singapore law.
This guide walks you through every cancellation method available to you, explains your statutory consumer protections, and clarifies what happens to your data and billing after you exit. Yafee has helped thousands of Singapore music creators navigate subscription cancellations with confidence, and we ground every step in the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act to ensure you know exactly where you stand.
Emastered pricing structure in singapore dollars
Emastered charges in US dollars (USD), which means your Singapore Dollar (SGD) amount fluctuates based on your payment processor's exchange rate on the transaction date. The table below shows the three main subscription tiers, their billing cycles, and what you receive for each.

Should you cancel or pause your account?
Before you submit a cancellation request, pause and evaluate whether cancellation is truly your best option. Some creators pause projects seasonally or switch workflow temporarily. Emastered may offer account suspension without full cancellation, which preserves your history and lets you restart billing later without re-entering payment details.
If cost is the only concern, downgrading to a lower-tier plan might retain the service without monthly expense. However, if you have decided you no longer need the platform, this guide ensures a complete and legally compliant exit.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Legal protections that apply to your emastered subscription
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act is the primary statute governing digital services in Singapore. Under this Act, you have four core rights: the right to accurate service descriptions, fair and transparent billing practices, the right to cancel a subscription without penalty (subject to the terms you agreed to), and the right to a refund if the service is defective or does not match its description.
Additionally, if Emastered misrepresented features-for example, claiming "professional studio-quality masters" when they consistently fail to match your expectations-you can cite breach of fair trading principles to request a refund or account credit. Yafee recommends documenting any instances where the service's actual performance diverges from its marketing claims.
Your legal position
You own the right to cancel your subscription at any time. Emastered cannot legally prevent you from exiting, though they may enforce any annual commitment you voluntarily entered. You are entitled to continue accessing the service until the end of your paid billing cycle. After cancellation, you retain ownership of all masters you downloaded during your paid subscription period; Emastered cannot revoke access to files you created.
Escalation pathways if emastered does not cooperate
If Emastered refuses to process your cancellation or withholds a refund you are legally entitled to, your first escalation point is the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE operates a dispute resolution service and can mediate between you and the company. If CASE's mediation fails, you may file a claim in the District Court for amounts up to SGD 30,000.
Yafee advises documenting every communication: screenshots of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, billing statements showing disputed charges, and any responses from Emastered's support team. This evidence is critical if you need to escalate to CASE or take legal action.
How to cancel emastered: step-by-step methods
Cancel directly through the emastered website
If you signed up directly on emastered.com with your email and password, this is your primary cancellation channel. Processing typically takes 1-2 business days, and you will receive a confirmation email. Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, and you retain all previously downloaded masters.
- Open your web browser and navigate to emastered.com.
- Ensure you log in with the email address and password associated with your account.
- Locate your account menu.
- Click your profile icon (typically positioned in the top-right corner of the dashboard).
- Select "Account Settings" or "My Account" from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the billing section.
- Click "Billing" or "Subscriptions".
- Locate the section titled "Manage Subscription" or "Current Plan".
- Select the cancellation option.
- Click "Cancel Subscription" or "Change Plan" and choose "Cancel".
- Read any retention offers Emastered displays (these are optional).
- Confirm your cancellation.
- Emastered will ask you to confirm and may request a reason for leaving.
- Complete the confirmation process by clicking "Yes, cancel my subscription".
- Wait for and retain your confirmation email.
- Check your inbox (and spam folder) for a cancellation confirmation from [email protected].
- Screenshot this email and save it to your records.
Cancel through your payment processor or payment platform
If you subscribed via a third-party payment platform-Stripe, PayPal, Apple App Store, or Google Play-you can cancel your subscription directly with that platform. This method is faster than web cancellation if Emastered's support is slow to respond. Your payment processor will notify Emastered automatically, and billing stops within 24 hours.
- Log in to your payment processor account.
- Navigate to PayPal, Stripe, Apple ID settings, or Google Play (depending on how you subscribed).
- Find your active subscriptions.
- Search for "Subscriptions", "Billing", or "Connected Apps".
- Locate the Emastered subscription in the list.
- Click to manage or edit the subscription.
- Select Emastered and choose "Cancel Subscription" or "Unsubscribe".
- Confirm the cancellation and retain your confirmation reference.
- Screenshot the confirmation page or confirmation email your payment processor sends.
- Notify Emastered directly if cancellation via payment processor appears incomplete.
- Email [email protected] with your reference number and payment processor confirmation.
- Ask them to confirm they have received the cancellation signal from your payment processor.
Cancel by contacting emastered support directly
If you encounter technical issues with the web or payment processor cancellation methods, or if you want written proof of your cancellation request, email Emastered's support team directly. This method creates a documented paper trail and is your safest option if you suspect future billing disputes.
- Compose a professional cancellation email.
- Address it to [email protected].
- Include your full name, registered email address, and account ID (visible in your account settings).
- State clearly: "I wish to cancel my Emastered subscription effective immediately."
- Request written confirmation of cancellation.
- Send the email and note the date and time.
- Keep a copy in a dedicated folder for this cancellation process.
- Expect a response within 48 to 72 hours.
- If Emastered does not respond within 5 business days, escalate to your payment processor or CASE.
- Retain the confirmation email indefinitely.
- Screenshot it and save it alongside payment receipts and billing statements.
Understanding refunds and what happens after cancellation
Refund eligibility and timelines
Emastered's refund policy aligns with Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and industry standards. You are eligible for a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of your initial subscription purchase or within 14 days of renewal, provided you have used fewer than three masters. If you cancel after 14 days, your account remains active until the end of your current billing cycle, but no refund is issued for the paid period.
If you cancel a locked-in annual plan (paid upfront), Emastered may deduct a pro-rata administration fee, but must return the balance. Yafee recommends requesting a refund in writing even if you fall outside the 14-day window; some companies issue account credits as an alternative.
What happens to your masters after cancellation
After you cancel, you retain permanent ownership of all masters you downloaded during your paid subscription period. Emastered cannot delete these files or restrict your access to them. Your project files remain in your account dashboard for 30 days, after which they may be archived. Download all masters you wish to keep before your billing cycle ends.
Billing after cancellation
Once your cancellation is confirmed, Emastered will not charge you after your current billing cycle expires. If you are charged after cancellation, you have grounds to dispute the transaction with your bank under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Contact your bank or payment processor to reverse the unauthorised charge and ask them to flag Emastered's account for recurring unauthorised billing.
Common mistakes that delay cancellation or trigger unwanted charges
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the steps above, but small oversights can leave you exposed to surprise charges or incomplete cancellations. Stay alert and avoid these pitfalls.
Not confirming cancellation in writing
Cancelling through the website is convenient, but if a dispute arises later, you have only the confirmation email as proof. If that email disappears or you lose access to your inbox, you have no evidence. Always save a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation and the confirmation email. Yafee recommends also sending a follow-up email to [email protected] asking them to confirm receipt of your cancellation request.
Cancelling before checking your billing date
If you cancel on the 2nd of the month but your billing date is the 15th, you may still be charged on the 15th. Always note your billing date (visible in the Billing section of your account) and cancel a few days before that date if you want to avoid a final charge. Some subscription systems allow you to cancel "after current cycle" rather than "immediately"-choose the right option to control when your final charge occurs.
Forgetting to cancel via your payment processor if you subscribed there
If you signed up through PayPal, Apple, or Google Play, cancelling only on the Emastered website may not stop charges from your payment processor. Always cancel in both places: first on the Emastered website, then on your payment processor. Verify within 48 hours that your payment processor no longer lists Emastered as an active subscription.
Not downloading your masters before the cancellation takes effect
After your billing cycle ends, Emastered may archive your project files. While you retain ownership rights, retrieving archived files can be slow or incur fees. Download all masters you need before your paid period expires. Use Emastered's bulk-download feature if available, or download files individually and save them to an external hard drive.
