Cooling-off and subscription rules

Under Singapore's emerging digital subscription framework and the DMCC Bill, consumers have a 14-day cooling-off right for subscription contracts.

This allows cancellation without penalty within 14 days from entering the contract or from a renewal date where applicable.

How this affects Care.com users

• Care.com's non-refundable policy may conflict with Singapore rights requiring a cooling-off period and fair termination notice.
• If you were charged and cancelled within the statutory cooling-off period, you may have grounds to request a refund under local law.

• Users have reported customer-service issues and billing disputes; consider keeping records if you encounter problems.
• Reference: Postclic user reports.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Account email and username used for Care.com.
• Subscription confirmation emails and receipts.
• Record of billing period start and renewal dates.

When you cancel

• Screenshots of cancellation steps and confirmation screens.
• If cancelling via App Store/Google Play: screenshots of the subscription cancellation screen.
• Keep copies of any correspondence with Care.com support.

Common mistakes

Assuming the website can cancel app-store subscriptions

Many users expect Care.com support or the website to cancel App Store or Google Play subscriptions. These must be cancelled through Apple or Google subscription settings.

Not saving proof of cancellation

Failing to capture confirmation screens or emails can make billing disputes harder to resolve. Always save screenshots and receipts immediately after cancelling.
