What happens when you cancel

Access and service period

If you cancel a web subscription through your Capture One account, access typically continues until the end of the current billing cycle.

When purchased via some payment processors (for example PayPal), the license may be disabled immediately after cancellation.

Data and reactivation

Your account data and settings usually remain available for reactivation if you sign in and resume a paid plan before termination.

Always export any important catalogues, presets or styles before cancellation to avoid accidental loss.

Will I get a refund?

Capture One web purchases and perpetual licences

Capture One states a full refund is offered within one year of purchase if the licence key has not been activated (“unsealed”).

Once a licence or key has been activated, the purchase is non‑refundable. See the official refund policy: Capture One refund policy.

App Store purchases and special cases

App Store purchases (Capture One Mobile or App Store bundles) are handled by Apple; contact Apple Support or use the Apple refund portal for refunds.

Style packs are non‑refundable once downloaded; if not downloaded you may request a refund through Capture One customer service as noted in the refund policy.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off period

Under South African consumer protection principles, a short cooling‑off right can apply to distance purchases of software if the product has not been opened or activated.

Common local practice provides a 7‑day cooling‑off right for online purchases of supplied but unopened software; activated software is typically excluded.

Activation and exclusions

Capture One’s stated policy that “unsealed = refundable; activated = non‑refundable” aligns with the general exclusion for activated digital software.

If you believe your statutory consumer rights apply, document dates of purchase and activation and contact Capture One customer support promptly.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Purchase receipt or invoice (date and order ID).
• Account email and subscription ID (if applicable).
• Evidence of activation status (license key usage or activation date).

If you need a refund or dispute

• Record of cancellation steps taken (screenshots of account page or app store cancellation).
• Correspondence with Capture One support or App Store/Google Play receipts.

Common mistakes

Assuming immediate refund

Many users expect immediate pro‑rata refunds after cancelling. Capture One’s policy ties refunds to activation status and payment processor rules.

Check the refund policy before cancelling to avoid unexpected charges or disabled access.

Not exporting data

Users sometimes cancel before exporting catalogs, presets or styles and then lose access. Always export important data before finalising cancellation.

Also confirm whether your payment method (for example PayPal) may immediately disable the licence when cancelling.
