What is Acronis

Overview

How to cancel Acronis

Cancel via Acronis web/console

• Sign in to your Acronis account (console) and go to Subscriptions or Billing.
• Select the subscription you want to stop, then choose Cancel or turn off auto‑renew.
• Cancel at least 24 - 48 hours before the renewal date to avoid an automatic charge; the service typically remains active until the end of the paid period. Source

Cancel via app stores or reseller

• Apple App Store: cancel in Apple ID > Subscriptions; the subscription remains active until the renewal date. Source
• Google Play: open Play Store > Subscriptions and cancel there; access stays until the period ends. Source
• If you bought through a reseller (for example Cleverbridge or a local South African reseller), cancellations and refunds are handled by that reseller. Source

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

After cancelling, most subscriptions remain active until the end of the current paid period.

You usually retain backup and restore access for the remainder of your paid term.

Auto‑renewal and billing

Automatic renewal can be avoided only by cancelling in time (commonly 24 - 48 hours before renewal).

If you miss the cancellation window you may be charged for the next period and would then need to request a refund if eligible.

Will I get a refund?

Standard refund guidelines

Acronis generally allows full refund requests within 30 days of purchase for annual or perpetual licences, subject to terms and channel of purchase.

If you purchased via a reseller, refund conditions may differ and the reseller’s policy applies. Source

Exceptions and app store purchases

• No pro‑rata refunds are commonly available for unused time on cloud backup subscriptions; eligibility can vary.
• Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are subject to Apple’s or Google’s refund policies, not Acronis’. Source

• Screenshots of subscription/billing page and any cancellation attempts.

If you purchased via a reseller

• Include reseller name, reseller invoice and any contract reference.
• Contact details for the reseller and copy of communication attempts.

Common mistakes

Missing the cancellation window

Waiting until the renewal date often results in an automatic charge if cancellation isn’t completed 24 - 48 hours beforehand.

Always check renewal timing well in advance to avoid unexpected billing.

Cancelling in the wrong place

Attempting to cancel in the wrong platform (console vs app store vs reseller) can leave the subscription active.

Verify where you originally purchased the subscription and cancel in that channel.
