What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

For App Store and Google Play subscriptions, cancelling stops future renewals but you retain access until the paid period ends.

Web orders and work-in-progress

For web-based services, paid items that are non-cancellable (e.g., plagiarism checks) remain non-refundable except in limited circumstances.

Data and account effects

Your account information and previously generated reports typically remain accessible unless Scribbr's policies specify otherwise.

Will I get a refund?

Plagiarism Check refund rule

A refund for a Plagiarism Check is allowed only if, after 24 hours since payment, the check has not been completed. You must request the refund before results are delivered.

General refund policy and exceptions

• There is no explicit global 14‑day automatic refund policy stated by Scribbr in their terms.
• Refunds for incomplete or faulty service are handled case-by-case; keep records to support your claim.

Practical steps to request a refund

• Contact Scribbr support immediately and provide order ID, payment receipt and timestamps.
• For Plagiarism Check refunds, request before the results are delivered and reference the 24‑hour rule.
• If needed, consider disputing the charge with your card issuer if Scribbr does not resolve a clear service failure.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Many users praise Scribbr for simplifying citation generation and improving academic clarity and structure. Reviewers also commend proofreading/editing for improving flow and academic tone with clear suggestions.

Negative feedback

Some users report incomplete delivery after payment and only small goodwill refunds being offered. Others note the free plagiarism preview is limited and may label language quality unreliably.

Quality control concerns

There are reports of technical terminology being altered incorrectly in edits, requiring lengthy corrections by the user and resulting in partial refunds in some cases.

Documentation checklist

What to collect before you cancel or complain

• Order confirmation and invoice or receipt showing payment details.
• Subscription screenshots (App Store/Google Play) or web order pages showing service purchased.
• Time-stamped communications with Scribbr support and any revision requests.
• Copies or screenshots of delivered work, plagiarism reports, or missing deliverables.

Why documentation helps

• Supports refund or dispute claims with Scribbr or your payment provider.
• Helps regulators or consumer bodies assess whether the service met reasonable expectations.

Common mistakes

Assuming automatic refunds

Users sometimes assume cancelling automatically triggers a refund. Cancellation generally stops future charges; refunds follow Scribbr rules and are case-specific.

Canceling from the wrong platform

Many subscriptions originate in the App Store or Google Play. Cancelling on Scribbr’s website will not stop app-store charges; always cancel in the platform where you purchased.

Missing the Plagiarism Check refund window

For Plagiarism Check refunds you must request before results are delivered and note the 24‑hour completion rule. Waiting until after results are delivered often voids refund eligibility.
