App Store and Google Play subscriptions
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, Archives.Com cannot cancel those subscriptions for you.
- Cancel directly through your Apple ID subscriptions or Google Play subscriptions settings.
- Do not rely on cancelling via the Archives.Com website to stop App Store or Google Play renewals.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel via the website, access typically continues until the end of the current billing cycle.
Make sure to confirm the end date and retain the confirmation message for your records.
Renewals and platform subscriptions
Auto-renewal stops for subscriptions cancelled directly through Archives.Com, but does not affect subscriptions billed through Apple or Google.
If you used the App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through those platforms to stop future charges.
Will I get a refund?
Free trial window
Archives.Com typically offers a 14-day free trial. If you cancel within that trial window you should not be charged.
Keep records showing the cancellation date if you cancel during the trial.
Refunds after billing starts
Refunds after the billing cycle begins are generally not offered; Archives.Com normally does not provide partial or prorated refunds.
- Exceptions are rare and usually considered only for demonstrable billing errors or special circumstances.
- If you believe an error occurred, document it and contact support immediately.
Archives.Com plans and pricing
Where to check pricing
Current plans, features and exact pricing can change; always check the official site for up-to-date information.
See the Archives.Com Help Center for guidance and links to account and membership pages: Archives.Com Help Center.
Do not rely on third-party estimates
Do not assume prices or trial lengths from third-party reviews - verify details in your account or on the official help pages before cancelling.
Keep screenshots of pricing and trial terms shown in your account at signup.
Your consumer rights in Singapore
Relevant protections
Singapore consumers are protected by laws such as the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act from unfair practices and misrepresentation.
Subscriptions with unclear auto-renewal or cancellation terms may be scrutinised under those protections.
How to act if you have a problem
Document all cancellation attempts and communications. If you cannot resolve the issue with Archives.Com, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
- Save emails, screenshots of account pages, confirmation numbers, and payment records.
- If necessary, dispute unauthorized charges with your payment provider and provide supporting evidence.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Some users report successful, quick record retrievals and straightforward cancellation with no issues.
These positive experiences indicate cancellations can be completed cleanly when confirmation is obtained.
Negative reports and trends
Multiple review sites show complaints about unexpected charges, difficulty cancelling within trials, and limited refund outcomes.
See aggregated user feedback on review pages: Trustpilot, Sitejabber, and a summary of complaints: ComplaintsBoard.
Documentation checklist
Essential items to save
- Account email and username used with Archives.Com.
- Subscription start date, trial period details and billing date.
- Payment receipts, bank or card statements showing charges.
Proof of cancellation attempts
- Screenshots of cancellation screens and confirmation messages.
- Emails sent and received (including support replies) and timestamps.
- Phone call notes: date, time, agent name and confirmation reference if provided.
Common mistakes
Assuming one cancellation method covers all
A common mistake is cancelling on the Archives.Com website but forgetting to cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription.
If you used a mobile subscription, cancel in the platform used to bill you; otherwise charges can continue.
Not saving confirmation and late disputes
Failing to save cancellation confirmations or timestamps can make disputes difficult to resolve later.
Also, delaying a dispute with your card issuer or CASE reduces the chances of reversing unauthorized charges.
