• Go to Profile > Billing and click "Cancel subscription".
• Follow the on-screen prompts, optionally provide a reason, then click "Cancel my account".

What happens when you cancel

Access and renewal

Cancellation stops future automatic renewals immediately and prevents additional fees beyond charges already applied.

You remain responsible for any amounts already billed before cancellation.

Data retention and restoration

Paid accounts can be restored within 120 days after cancellation; free accounts may be restored within 30 days.

If you restore, data available at the time of cancellation may be recovered subject to GetResponse policies.

Will I get a refund?

Standard refund policy

GetResponse operates as a pay-as-you-go service and generally does not issue refunds after billing.

If you cancel immediately after a charge, you remain responsible for amounts already charged; refunds are not provided as a general rule.

Exceptions and special cases

• If GetResponse terminates your subscription without cause, they will provide a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of your prepaid period.
• Free accounts are forever free and do not require a credit card; premium features can be trialled for 14 days before payment.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria

Trial and cancellation rights

You may use GetResponse's 14-day free trial of premium features without entering payment details, which lets you cancel before committing to a paid plan.

You can cancel recurring subscriptions at any time via the web interface to stop future billing.

Refund and termination rights

• There is no general right to a refund after billing except where GetResponse terminates the subscription without cause (pro-rata refund applies).
• For App Store/Google Play purchases, your rights to cancel or request a refund are exercised through the store that handled the payment.
• For specific consumer-protection questions in Nigeria, consider contacting the Consumer Protection Council or seek local legal advice if you believe local law grants additional remedies.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

• Many users praise GetResponse's customer support for quick, friendly help and helpful walkthroughs.
• The platform is often described as intuitive, with powerful drag-and-drop editors and useful automation tools.

Negative feedback

• Some customers report billing issues, including unexpected charges or difficulty obtaining refunds after cancellation.
• There are reports of account suspension or blocking for minor over-limits and mixed experiences with support in those cases.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Account email address and username used for GetResponse.
• Last invoice or billing date and payment method details.
• Subscription ID or plan name as shown in your Billing page.

If you need support or appeal

• Screenshots of your Billing page showing the active subscription and cancellation button.
• Copies of any correspondence with GetResponse support, including reference/ticket numbers.
• Transaction receipt from your bank, App Store, or Google Play if disputing a charge.

Common mistakes

Billing misunderstandings

Expecting an automatic refund after cancelling right after a charge is a common mistake; GetResponse does not generally issue refunds for charges already made.

Always check whether your subscription was billed through the App Store or Google Play, as refunds and cancellations are handled by those platforms in many cases.

Subscription source confusion

Some users cancel the mobile app but forget to cancel the subscription via the correct channel; cancelling the app does not always stop billing.

Also, not saving confirmation of cancellation can lead to disputes where you cannot prove you cancelled before the next billing date.
