How to cancel Copyleaks and protect your rights in singapore
What Copyleaks is and why you might want to cancel
Copyleaks is a cloud-based plagiarism and artificial intelligence detection tool designed for educators, publishers, marketers, and developers who need to verify content authenticity and originality. The platform scans text across large-scale web databases and uses machine learning to identify both plagiarised material and AI-generated content. If you subscribed to Copyleaks through their website or an app store and now want to exit, Yafee is here to guide you through every step of the cancellation process with clarity and confidence.
Core features of Copyleaks
Copyleaks bundles plagiarism detection, AI-detection capabilities, support for multiple languages, and API access for automated scanning. Your subscription tier determines the number of credits you receive, how many team members can access your account, and whether you get developer API privileges. Understanding what you are paying for helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move.
Why cancellation matters
You might want to cancel if your organisation no longer needs plagiarism checking, if you have found an alternative tool, or if the monthly or annual cost no longer fits your budget. Whatever your reason, taking control of your subscriptions is an important part of managing your finances responsibly. The earlier you cancel, the sooner you stop being charged for a service you no longer use.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Your right to cancel a Copyleaks subscription is grounded in the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, Cap 52A of Singapore, which protects you against unfair trading practices and misleading conduct. Under this Act, you have the right to cancel a service contract within a reasonable timeframe if the service provider has not provided clear terms of cancellation or has made cancellation unnecessarily difficult.
Your legal position
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you protection in three key areas. First, you have the right to receive clear information about the terms of your subscription, including the cancellation method and any termination fees. Second, if Copyleaks fails to provide an accessible cancellation mechanism, you may lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), which investigates unfair trading practices at no cost to you. Third, you are entitled to a refund of any unused portion of your subscription if you cancel before the billing period ends, provided Copyleaks' terms do not explicitly exclude this-and even then, such exclusions may be challengeable if they are unreasonable. Yafee recommends keeping evidence of all cancellation attempts and correspondence, as this strengthens your position if you need to escalate to CASE.
When you can request a refund
Singapore's consumer law does not mandate automatic refunds for cancelled subscriptions, but the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act requires service providers to act fairly. If you cancel mid-billing cycle, you are entitled to ask for a pro-rata refund of the unused portion. If Copyleaks refuses without legitimate reason, you can escalate to CASE. If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, Apple and Google's respective refund policies may be more generous; both platforms typically allow refunds within 14 days of purchase if the app is faulty or significantly misrepresented.
Copyleaks pricing in singapore and what you are paying for
Copyleaks offers several subscription tiers with pricing displayed in Singapore Dollars (SGD). All amounts shown are approximate conversions from USD, so your actual charge depends on your payment processor's exchange rate on the billing date. Check your most recent receipt or account page to confirm the exact SGD amount charged to you.

How to check your current plan
Log into your Copyleaks account and navigate to your Account or Billing settings to see exactly which plan you are on and when your next charge is due. This information is crucial before you cancel, because it determines when your access will end and whether you are eligible for a refund. If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play instead of Copyleaks' website, your billing happens outside Copyleaks' system, which changes how you cancel and request refunds.
Should you cancel Copyleaks right now
Before you proceed with cancellation, pause and reflect on whether this is the right decision for your needs. Yafee always recommends taking a moment to weigh the pros and cons.
Reasons to keep your Copyleaks subscription
Your team regularly uses the plagiarism detection or AI detection tools and finds them accurate and reliable
You have not yet exhausted the monthly credit allowance and would lose unused credits if you cancel immediately
Copyleaks integrates seamlessly with your learning management system, content management platform, or publishing workflow
No competing tool offers the same combination of features at a lower cost in your region
Your subscription is annual and you are still within the first month (you may be able to get a full refund if you act quickly)
Reasons to cancel your Copyleaks subscription
You have switched to a competitor such as Turnitin, Grammarly, or GPTZero that better fits your budget or workflow
The monthly or annual cost is no longer justifiable given your current workload or organisational budget
You subscribed on impulse and have used the tool fewer than three times since signup
Your role or team has changed and you no longer need plagiarism or AI detection functionality
Customer support has been unresponsive or the tool has experienced persistent technical issues
You signed up for a trial and want to prevent automatic conversion to a paid plan
How to cancel Copyleaks via your account dashboard
The most straightforward path to cancellation is through Copyleaks' own account dashboard. This method gives you real-time confirmation and generates a cancellation receipt, which you should keep for your records.
Step 1: log in to your Copyleaks account
Open your web browser and navigate to the Copyleaks login page
Enter your registered email address and password
Click Sign In
If you have two-factor authentication enabled, complete the verification step
Step 2: access your billing or account settings
Once logged in, look for a settings icon (usually a gear symbol) in the top right corner of the screen
Click Settings or Account
Select Billing, Subscription, or Plan Management from the menu
You should see your current subscription tier, next billing date, and payment method
Step 3: locate the cancellation option
Scroll down the Billing or Subscription page to find a button or link labelled Cancel Subscription, Downgrade Plan, or End Membership
Click this button or link
Copyleaks may display a pop-up asking why you are cancelling; select the reason that best fits your situation (this feedback helps them improve but is not binding)
Step 4: confirm your cancellation
Review the cancellation summary, which should state your final billing date and when your access will end
Click Confirm Cancellation or a similar button to finalise the request
Copyleaks will display a confirmation message on screen and send a confirmation email to your registered email address within minutes
Save or print this confirmation for your records
Step 5: verify the cancellation took effect
Return to your Billing or Subscription page and confirm that your plan status now shows Cancelled or Inactive
Check your email inbox for the cancellation confirmation from Copyleaks within 5 minutes; if you do not receive it, check your spam or junk folder
Make a note of the cancellation date and final access date in your records
How to cancel Copyleaks if you subscribed via apple app store
If you signed up for Copyleaks through the Apple App Store on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system, not through Copyleaks itself.
Step 1: open settings on your apple device
On iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app
On Mac, click the Apple menu and select System Preferences or System Settings
Step 2: navigate to subscriptions
On iPhone or iPad, tap your name at the top of the Settings screen, then select Subscriptions
On Mac, select the account name at the top of System Preferences, then click Subscriptions (location varies by macOS version)
Step 3: find and cancel Copyleaks
Scroll through your active subscriptions until you find Copyleaks
Tap or click Copyleaks to open the subscription details
Tap or click Cancel Subscription
Apple will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation; select the relevant option or skip this step
Tap or click Confirm Cancellation
Step 4: verify the cancellation and check for refunds
You will see a confirmation message stating your access will end on a specified date
Apple will send a confirmation email to your registered Apple ID email address
If you cancelled within 14 days of your most recent charge and believe you have a legitimate reason (faulty app, misrepresentation, unused service), contact Apple Support to request a refund; Apple approves refunds on a case-by-case basis
How to cancel Copyleaks if you subscribed via google play store
If you signed up for Copyleaks through the Google Play Store on an Android device, you cancel through Google Play, not Copyleaks' dashboard.
Step 1: open the google play store app
On your Android device, open the Google Play Store app
Tap your Profile icon in the top right corner
Step 2: navigate to your subscriptions
Tap Manage subscriptions from the menu
You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Google Play account
Step 3: cancel Copyleaks
Tap Copyleaks from the list
Tap Cancel subscription
Google Play will show you the cancellation terms, including your final access date
Follow the prompts and confirm your cancellation
Step 4: request a refund if eligible
Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of purchase if the app is faulty or not as described
To request a refund, return to the Manage subscriptions screen, tap Copyleaks, and look for a Refund option
If no refund option is visible, contact Google Play Support via the Help Centre and explain your reason; Google approves or denies refund requests within 5 business days
How to cancel Copyleaks by email if the dashboard does not work
If you cannot access Copyleaks' cancellation option through your account dashboard or if the button is broken, you have the right to cancel by email. This method creates a written record of your cancellation request, which is valuable if you later need to dispute a charge or escalate to CASE.
Step 1: gather your account information
Collect the email address linked to your Copyleaks account
Note your account username or user ID if available
Locate your most recent billing receipt or invoice, which contains your plan name and billing date
Step 2: compose a cancellation email
Open your email client and create a new message
Address your email to the Copyleaks support email address (typically [email protected] or [email protected]; verify this on their website if unsure)
Use a subject line such as: "Cancellation Request - [Your Email Address]"
In the body of the email, include the following details:
Your full name
The email address associated with your Copyleaks account
Your account username or user ID
Your current subscription plan (e.g., "AI + Plagiarism Detection Monthly")
A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Copyleaks subscription, effective today. Please confirm that no further charges will be applied."
A request for a cancellation confirmation email
Step 3: send the email and keep a copy
Click Send
Once sent, move the sent email to a dedicated folder or take a screenshot for your records
Note the date and time you sent the email
Step 4: monitor your inbox for confirmation
Copyleaks should reply within 2 to 3 business days with a cancellation confirmation
The confirmation email should include your cancellation date, final access date, and confirmation that no future charges will occur
If you do not receive a confirmation within 5 business days, send a follow-up email or contact Copyleaks' support team via their website chat function
Save the confirmation email indefinitely
Timeline: when your access ends and final charges stop
Timing is critical when cancelling a subscription. Understanding the exact dates that govern your cancellation helps you avoid surprise charges and supports your position if a dispute arises.
If you cancel mid-monthly billing cycle
Most SaaS providers, including Copyleaks, honour access until the end of the current billing period. If you cancel on day 15 of a 30-day billing cycle, you retain access until day 30, and no further charge occurs after that date. Copyleaks will send a final invoice covering the period already used. You are then entitled to a pro-rata refund if you request one in writing within 30 days of your cancellation date.
If you cancel an annual subscription
Annual subscriptions are more complex. If you cancel an annual plan after the first 30 days, most providers charge a cancellation fee or refund only the unused months pro-rata, minus an administrative cost. If you cancel within the first 14 days of an annual subscription, you are entitled to a full refund under consumer protection principles in Singapore, provided you have used the service minimally. Yafee recommends requesting a refund in writing if you qualify and Copyleaks does not volunteer one automatically.
Verify your final charge date
Once you cancel, check your account dashboard or wait for Copyleaks' confirmation email. This document must state your final access date and the date of your last charge. If a charge appears after your stated final date, contact Copyleaks immediately with your cancellation confirmation and ask for a refund of the erroneous charge. If Copyleaks refuses, escalate to CASE.
Requesting a refund after cancellation
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund. You must request one formally if you believe you are owed one under Singapore's consumer protection law.
When you are entitled to a refund
You cancel an annual plan within 14 days of purchase and have used fewer than 10 credits
You cancel mid-billing cycle and request a pro-rata refund of the unused portion within 30 days
Copyleaks fails to provide the promised features or experiences persistent downtime, rendering the service unsuitable
You subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play and cancelled within 48 hours (Apple) or 48 hours (Google) of the charge
How to request a refund
Compose a formal refund request email to [email protected] (or the email address listed on their website)
Include your account email, subscription plan, cancellation date, and the specific reason you believe you are owed a refund
If you qualify under the 14-day rule, state this clearly: "I cancelled my annual Copyleaks subscription on [date], which is within 14 days of purchase on [purchase date]. Under Singapore's consumer protection principles, I am entitled to a full refund."
Request a response within 5 business days and ask for the refund method (credit card, bank transfer, or app store credit)
Send the email and keep a copy
If Copyleaks does not respond within 10 business days or refuses your refund claim, escalate to CASE (Consumers Association of Singapore) by submitting a complaint via their website (case.org.sg)
What to do if Copyleaks refuses your refund
If Copyleaks denies your refund claim without legitimate reason, you have the right to escalate under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. CASE will investigate your complaint at no cost and mediate between you and Copyleaks. Gather all evidence: your cancellation confirmation, billing receipts, screenshots of your account, and all email correspondence. CASE typically resolves disputes within 30 days. If CASE's mediation fails, you may pursue a claim in the Small Claims Tribunal (for claims up to S$10,000) or District Court, depending on the amount owed.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Copyleaks
Cancelling a subscription may seem straightforward, but small oversights can cost you money or leave you without evidence of your cancellation request. Here are the pitfalls that catch most users and how to sidestep them.
Mistake 1: not checking your cancellation deadline
Many users assume they can cancel at any point in their billing cycle without penalty. In reality, if you cancel an annual subscription after the 14-day window, you may forfeit a portion of your prepaid fees. Always check Copyleaks' Terms of Service for cancellation windows and deadlines before you submit your cancellation request. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of these terms for your records.
Mistake 2: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, cancelling through Copyleaks' website will not work. Your payment and subscription are managed by Apple or Google, not Copyleaks. Cancelling in the wrong place leaves your subscription active and you will continue to be charged. Always verify where you signed up before you cancel.
Mistake 3: forgetting to save your cancellation confirmation
Never rely on memory or a verbal confirmation from support staff. Always request a written cancellation confirmation from Copyleaks and save it as a PDF or take a screenshot. This document protects you if a surprise charge appears weeks later or if you need to dispute the cancellation with your bank or payment processor.
Mistake 4: cancelling without requesting a refund first
Some users cancel and assume they will automatically receive a refund if one is due. Copyleaks will not refund you unless you ask. If you cancel an annual subscription within 14 days or if you are due a pro-rata refund for a mid-cycle cancellation, send a formal refund request email immediately after cancelling. Do not wait.
Mistake 5: assuming a trial cancellation is automatic
If you signed up for a free trial and did not explicitly cancel before the trial end date, Copyleaks will automatically convert your account to a paid subscription. Many users assume the trial expires and access cuts off; in fact, your payment card is charged. To avoid this, set a calendar reminder 3 days before your trial ends and cancel immediately. Yafee recommends this practice for all free trials.
Mistake 6: not checking for remaining credits
If you have unused monthly credits in your Copyleaks account when you cancel, those credits are typically forfeited. If you have a large balance of unused credits (say, more than 50), consider whether it is worth delaying cancellation by a month to use them up, or contact support to ask if they will honour a credit transfer or refund for unused credits. Some providers offer this as a goodwill gesture.
After cancellation: what happens to your data and account
Cancelling your Copyleaks subscription does not immediately delete your account or historical data. Understanding what persists and what is deleted helps you plan your next steps.
Your access after the final billing date
On your final access date (stated in the cancellation confirmation), Copyleaks will disable your login and you will no longer be able to access the dashboard, run new scans, or view reports. Any new plagiarism or AI detection requests you attempt will fail. Your account will remain in Copyleaks' system, but in a dormant state.
Data retention and deletion
Copyleaks typically retains your account data (profile, historical scans, reports) for 30 days after cancellation. This grace period allows you to reactivate your subscription if you change your mind. After 30 days, you can request permanent deletion of your account and all associated data by emailing [email protected]. Under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), Copyleaks must comply with your request within 30 days. Save the deletion confirmation email for your records.
Billing and payment method
Once your subscription is cancelled, Copyleaks' payment processor will stop attempting to charge your card or bank account. However, if you reactivate within the grace period, your original payment method will be used. If you no longer want Copyleaks to have access to your payment details, delete the saved card or bank account from your Copyleaks account settings before the 30-day grace period expires.
Reactivating your subscription
If you change your mind within 30 days of cancellation, you can reactivate your subscription by logging into your account and selecting Reactivate or Resume Subscription. You will be charged immediately for the current billing cycle at your plan's standard rate. If more than 30 days have passed, you will need to sign up as a new customer, which may or may not qualify for a new-customer discount.
Escalation: what to do if Copyleaks does not respond
In rare cases, Copyleaks may ignore your cancellation request, continue charging you after you cancel, or refuse to process a refund you are entitled to. Yafee guides you through the escalation process.
Step 1: document all communication attempts
Gather all emails, screenshots, and timestamps of your cancellation requests and responses (or lack thereof)
If you cancelled via the dashboard, download your account statement showing the cancellation date
If you cancelled by email, print or save the sent email and any replies
Compile these into a single folder labelled "Copyleaks Cancellation Evidence"
Step 2: send a formal notice to Copyleaks
If Copyleaks has not responded to your cancellation or refund request within 10 business days, send a final formal notice email to [email protected]
In the subject line, write: "Final Notice: Cancellation Request [Date] - Escalation to Regulatory Authority"
In the body, state clearly: "I submitted a cancellation request on [date]. Copyleaks has failed to respond or has refused to process the cancellation despite multiple requests. I am providing Copyleaks 5 business days to confirm the cancellation and process any owed refund. If I do not receive a response by [date], I will file a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore."
Send the email and save a copy
Step 3: file a complaint with CASE
Visit the CASE website at case.org.sg
Click File a Complaint or Complaints and Mediation
Complete the online complaint form, providing:
Your full name and contact details
Copyleaks' company name and contact information
A detailed summary of the issue (cancellation refusal, continued charges, lack of response)
The date of your cancellation request and all follow-up attempts
The amount in dispute (if refund-related)
Upload all supporting documents (emails, screenshots, receipts) as PDF files
Submit the complaint
CASE will acknowledge your complaint within 3 business days and assign a case officer who will contact both you and Copyleaks to investigate and mediate
Step 4: pursue legal action if mediation fails
If CASE mediation does not resolve the dispute, you may pursue a claim in the Small Claims Tribunal (for amounts up to S$10,000) or the District Court. You do not need a lawyer for the Small Claims Tribunal, which makes it an affordable option. File a claim with the tribunal and present your evidence (cancellation confirmation, refusal emails, billing statements). The tribunal will issue a judgment within 60 days. If you win, Copyleaks is ordered to pay you the refund or cancellation fees owed plus costs.
