How to cancel Chegg

Cancel via the Chegg website (recommended)

• Select the subscription you want to cancel and choose Cancel Subscription.
• Follow on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.

Cancel via app stores (if applicable)

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel a Chegg subscription you generally retain access until the end of the current billing period.

No further automatic renewals will occur after that billing period ends.

Billing and charges

Chegg states that fees are non-refundable unless otherwise specified. Charges already processed typically are not reversed unless a specific refund policy applies.

If you cancelled an app-store subscription, refunds and billing adjustments may be handled by Apple or Google, not Chegg.

Account data and content

Content you downloaded or purchases you made (for example, purchased eTextbooks) remain in your account as per Chegg access rules.

Physical rentals must be returned per the rental return policy to avoid extra charges.

Will I get a refund?

General refund stance

Chegg’s global terms say fees are non-refundable “to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.”

This means refunds are not automatic and depend on the specific product and timing.

Common refund exceptions

• Chegg Study, Chegg Writing, Math Solver: refunds may be possible within 7 days of initial subscription, subject to usage and eligibility.
• eTextbooks: full refund is commonly allowed if cancelled within 14 days of purchase.
• Physical textbook rentals: full refund often available if returned within 21 days and in acceptable condition.

After the refund windows

After the specified windows (7, 14, 21 days where applicable), prorated refunds are generally not issued.

If you believe you were charged incorrectly after cancelling, review your billing records and contact support or your payment provider promptly.

Chegg plans and pricing

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off and statutory rights

South African consumer protection principles often provide cooling-off rights and refunds for certain digital purchases, depending on the circumstances and how the purchase was made.

Local law can override a provider’s global “no refund” clause if a statutory right applies.

Chegg’s terms vs local law

Chegg states that fees are non-refundable except as stated, but it also reserves refunds "to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law."

This wording means South African statutory consumer protections could require a refund in some cases despite Chegg’s standard policy.

Customer experiences

Common negative reports

• Reports of continued or unexpected charges after users believed they had cancelled.
• Complaints about unhelpful or AI-only customer service experiences.
• Users report changes to solution content and concerns about quality after service changes.
• Instances of double-charging or billing due to multiple accounts have been reported.

Where to read user reviews

Documentation checklist

Before contacting support

• Record of the subscription start date and billing cycle.
• Transaction receipts or card statements showing charges.
• Account email address and user name used on Chegg.

If requesting a refund or dispute

• Copy of cancellation confirmation (screenshot or email).
• Evidence of attempted cancellation if charges continued (screenshots, dates).
• Rental return tracking numbers for physical textbooks.

Common mistakes

Not checking where the subscription was purchased

Many users try to cancel via Chegg.com even though they subscribed through Apple or Google; these must be cancelled through the relevant app-store account.

Always verify whether the subscription shows as billed by Chegg or by Apple/Google on your statement.

Missing proof of cancellation

Users sometimes do not save their cancellation confirmation, making a refund or dispute harder to pursue.

Always keep screenshots or emails that confirm cancellation and the date it was done.
