What is Cornerstone
Overview
Cornerstone is a cloud-based learning and talent management platform used by organisations to deliver training, manage learning paths, and track employee development.
The service is subscription-based and often sold to enterprises with implementation, integrations, and support included in contract packages.
Primary uses
Typical uses include course management, compliance tracking, reporting, and skills development for employees and contractors.
Cornerstone is delivered as a hosted SaaS product with administrative and learner interfaces, including mobile apps.
How to cancel Cornerstone
Confirm your contract terms
Check your signed contract and the Cornerstone terms of service to identify notice periods, minimum terms, and cancellation requirements.
Refer to the Cornerstone TOS for the official terms: Cornerstone Terms of Service.
Step-by-step cancellation process
- Locate your account manager or the enterprise sales contact who handled your purchase.
- Prepare your contract details: customer name, contract ID, start and end dates, and reason for cancellation.
- Submit a written cancellation notice via the contractual channel (email to account rep or formal letter) and keep a copy.
- Confirm any required notice period and the effective cancellation date with Cornerstone in writing.
- Follow up with any onboarding or billing contacts to stop future renewals and remove payment methods if required.
- If you used the mobile app for access, inform administrators that user licenses should be revoked after the contract end.
What happens when you cancel
Access and subscription end
Access typically continues until the contract or paid subscription period ends; termination dates depend on your agreement.
Administrators should plan for license revocation and communicate timelines to users before access ends.
Data retention and export
Data retention, export windows, and deletion procedures are governed by your contract and Cornerstone policies.
Request data export (reports, learner records) well before the effective cancellation date to avoid losing access.
Will I get a refund?
General policy
Refunds are not standard and depend on the terms of your contract and the reasons for cancellation.
Enterprise agreements commonly include non-refundable fees for implementation and minimum term commitments.
Possible exceptions
- Pro-rated refunds may be considered only if explicitly stated in your contract or agreed in writing by Cornerstone.
- Disputes over service levels or breaches may be handled under contract dispute procedures and could affect refund decisions.
Consult your agreement and discuss specific refund possibilities with your account representative.

Your consumer rights in Singapore
Key protections
Consumers in Singapore are protected by statutes and regulations covering unfair contract terms and misleading practices.
For digital services, your rights depend on whether the purchase was made as a consumer or a business; enterprise contracts often fall outside basic consumer protections.
What you can do
- Review your contract for cancellation, refund, and dispute resolution clauses.
- Raise complaints directly with Cornerstone and retain written records of all communications.
- If you are a consumer (not a business buyer), consider contacting local consumer organisations for guidance.
Customer experiences
Positive experiences
Many organisations report benefits such as centralized reporting, compliance tracking, and improved learning workflows after implementation.
Large customers often value Cornerstone for scalability and enterprise integrations.
Common complaints
Reported issues include complexity of implementation, variable costs for added modules, and the administrative overhead of managing enterprise licenses.
Billing disputes and data export timing are recurring operational concerns during cancellations.
Documentation checklist
Essential documents to gather
- Signed contract or order form (showing term, renewal, and notice requirements).
- Invoices, proof of payment, and billing history.
- Contact details for your Cornerstone account manager or reseller.
- Records of support tickets or service-level issues relevant to your cancellation.
Export and backup items
- Export learner records, completion certificates, and compliance reports.
- Save configuration settings, custom reports, and integration credentials if permitted.
Common mistakes
Missing notice periods
Organisations sometimes assume cancellation is immediate and fail to allow for contractual notice periods, resulting in unwanted renewals or charges.
Always check contract dates and send written notice within the required window to avoid automatic renewal.
Not exporting data in time
Waiting until the last day to request exports risks losing access to important learner records and reports.
Schedule exports well before the contract end date and confirm the format and delivery method.
Comparative recap

After cancelling
Data and accounts
