Cancellation service #1 in Canada
Aes is an iOS app that enables users to encrypt and decrypt files on their device, providing an additional layer of privacy and security for stored documents. It is offered with either a lifetime license or a 1‑year license to enable encryption features within the app.
Cancelling access depends on how you purchased the Aes feature. If you bought the lifetime or annual ability to encrypt via the Apple App Store, you must manage or cancel the purchase through your Apple ID subscriptions or report the purchase to Apple. If you are attempting to stop auto‑renewal for the annual plan, you must turn off auto‑renew in your App Store subscription settings.
If you cancel an annual (1‑year) ability to encrypt, you will typically retain access to the paid features until the end of the current billing period; after that date the app will revert to its free feature set. A lifetime purchase remains active and should not expire. Cancelling does not automatically delete any encrypted files on your device - those files remain but you will need the app (and the encryption key/password) to access them. If you lose access to the app or keys, recovering encrypted files may be difficult or impossible.
Refunds for in‑app purchases on iOS are handled primarily by Apple. Apple evaluates refund requests case‑by‑case through its Report a Problem process; receiving a refund is not guaranteed. Common exceptions where refunds are sometimes granted include accidental purchases, duplicate charges, or purchases made without authorization. Refunds are less likely for "change of mind" purchases or for lifetime licences where the app functions as described. If you purchased directly from the developer (outside the App Store), refund terms depend on the developer’s stated policy; keep purchase receipts and correspondence when requesting a refund.
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifetime Ability to Encrypt Files (AES Crypt) | C$7.99 (approx.) | Lifetime | Enables encryption of files on iOS |
| 1‑Year Ability to Encrypt Files (AES Crypt) | C$0.99 (approx.) | Annual | Enables encryption of files on iOS for one year |
Note: Prices are shown as approximate Canadian dollar amounts based on the App Store Canada listing; the original App Store prices are USD ($7.99 and $0.99) and final CAD charges may vary slightly due to exchange rates and App Store taxes or fees. Confirm the price on the App Store at the time of purchase.
Canadian consumer protection laws vary by province and territory. There is no single federal rule that automatically guarantees a refund for all digital purchases simply due to “change of mind.” However, provincial consumer protection statutes and unfair practices provisions can apply when a product is defective, misrepresented, or not delivered as promised. Quebec and several provinces have stronger statutory protections for consumers, and sellers must not engage in false or deceptive practices.
For App Store purchases, Apple’s refund and dispute process is the primary route; you can also raise complaints with your provincial consumer protection office if you believe the app or developer engaged in misleading practices. As a last resort, small claims court or bank card dispute/chargeback processes may be an option, but these have their own eligibility rules and time limits.
Users report mixed experiences when cancelling and requesting refunds for in‑app encryption features. Many users successfully turned off auto‑renew and avoided further charges; others found subscription entries hard to locate if the app name differed from the purchase line item. Refund success commonly depends on how the purchase was billed, the reason given, and Apple’s individual assessment. Communication with the developer is sometimes successful but not guaranteed, particularly for purchases processed via the App Store.
Common mistakes include assuming a lifetime purchase can be refunded for change of mind, forgetting to turn off auto‑renew (leading to unexpected annual charges), and not keeping the original App Store receipt or the Apple ID used to buy the feature. Another frequent problem is attempting to manage or request refunds through the app itself rather than using Apple’s subscription and report‑a‑problem channels, which delays resolution. Also, removing the app does not automatically cancel subscriptions; you must cancel via your Apple ID settings.
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store - Report a Problem | Possible (case‑by‑case via Apple) | Low - Moderate (follow Apple’s online process) |
| Contact developer directly (support in App Store listing) | Possible if developer policy allows; not guaranteed | Moderate (depends on developer response) |
| Bank/credit card dispute or chargeback | Possible in cases of unauthorised or fraudulent charges | High (time limits, evidence required, may affect account) |
After you cancel, verify that the subscription is marked as cancelled in Settings and keep the confirmation screenshot or email. If you want a refund, submit a request promptly via Apple’s Report a Problem page and include the order ID and reason.
