What happens when you cancel

Access and expiration

When you cancel a subscription via a store, access typically remains until the end of the paid billing period.

When you cancel via Clip Studio Store (web/desktop), the plan ends at the next renewal date and you keep access until then.

Data and cloud services

Your local files remain on your devices. Cloud backups and online assets may be affected depending on plan expiry or downgrade.

Export or back up important projects before the subscription expires to avoid disruption.

Will I get a refund?

General refund policy

Clip Studio generally does not provide refunds for monthly or annual plans bought through Clip Studio Store; cancellation stops future billing only.

One-time perpetual licenses are normally non-refundable and cannot be canceled or downgraded after purchase.

Store-specific refund rules

• App Store / Google Play / Galaxy Store: refunds follow the respective store’s policy; Clip Studio does not issue refunds for those purchases.
• Monthly plans via Galaxy Store: vendor policy typically does not offer refunds.

Exceptions and consumer rights

Some local consumer protections may apply (see the South Africa section), but digital software that has been delivered and accessed may not be refundable.

If you believe you have a valid refund claim under local law, document the issue and contact the vendor or relevant consumer authority.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off and digital goods

South African consumer law includes cooling-off rules for certain distance transactions, but their application to immediately delivered digital content is limited.

If software is delivered and activated, the cooling-off right may not apply; this can affect refund eligibility for downloaded or activated apps.

Warranty and defects

The Consumer Protection Act provides implied warranties for quality and a 6‑month period for many goods and services.

If software is defective or materially misdescribed, remedies may include repair, replacement or refund under local consumer law.

What to gather before contacting support

• Order receipt or proof of purchase (email or retailer account screenshot).
• Subscription ID, App Store/Google Play/Samsung order number if applicable.
• Your Clip Studio account email and any license keys for perpetual purchases.
• Dates of purchase and the exact product name shown on the receipt.

Where to send documentation

Common mistakes

Cancelling in the wrong place

A frequent error is trying to cancel a store-managed subscription (App Store/Google Play/Galaxy) through the Clip Studio website.

Always cancel via the store where the subscription was purchased to stop future renewals.

Assuming automatic refunds

Another common mistake is assuming Clip Studio issues refunds for store purchases; refunds for those purchases must be requested through the store vendor.

Keep records and request refunds promptly from the vendor if you believe one is due.
