Your consumer rights in India
Cooling-off and refund rights
Indian consumer law provides cooling-off rights for digital services in many cases, often 7 - 14 days.
These rights may allow cancellation and refund depending on interpretation and the nature of the continuous service.
How this relates to LiveChat
- LiveChat’s published policy states no refunds for processed payments, which may conflict with consumer protections in India.
- Users in India should use the 14-day free trial to evaluate the service and note billing/cancellation dates carefully.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback

These positive reviews note effectiveness for customer engagement and lead management.
Negative feedback
- Several Trustpilot reviews report being charged after cancellation and not receiving refunds despite billing disputes.
- Other complaints include reliability issues (glitches, disconnections), perceived high prices, hidden fees, and difficulties cancelling without support assistance.
Documentation checklist
What to collect before cancelling
- Account email and login details used for LiveChat.
- Subscription ID, plan name, and billing period information.
- Payment receipts or invoices for recent charges.
What to save after cancelling
- Cancellation confirmation screenshot or email from your LiveChat account.
- Dates of cancellation and end of paid access for future reference.
Common mistakes
Not using the free trial
Skipping the 14-day free trial may lead to unexpected charges if you later find the service unsuitable.
Always test features and integrations during the trial to confirm fit.
Missing cancellation timing
Cancelling after a billing date can result in another full charge; users sometimes assume immediate pro rata refunds which are not provided.
Always cancel before the next billing cycle if you do not want to be billed for the next period.
