What is DeepDyve

Overview

How to cancel DeepDyve

Cancel via the DeepDyve website (recommended)

• Sign in at your DeepDyve account on the website.
• Go to Account Settings and choose "Cancel Subscription" or turn off auto-renew.

• For details, see DeepDyve's FAQ: DeepDyve FAQ.

Cancel on iOS (App Store subscriptions)

• Open your iOS device Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions → select DeepDyve → Cancel Subscription.
• DeepDyve does not manage App Store billing directly, so cancellation must occur in Apple settings.

Cancel on Android (Google Play subscriptions)

• Open Google Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions → select DeepDyve → Cancel Subscription.
• Note: DeepDyve rarely uses Google Play for billing, so confirm where your subscription was purchased before cancelling.

What happens when you cancel

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off and disclosures

South African consumers are protected by the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), which provides a 14-day cooling-off period for many online purchases and requires clear cancellation and refund disclosures.

How this affects DeepDyve subscriptions

• DeepDyve's 30-day money-back promise may exceed CPA minimums, but any "no refunds" clauses must still comply with the CPA's fairness and transparency requirements.
• If you believe your rights under the CPA were breached, gather evidence and consider contacting consumer protection authorities in South Africa.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Screenshots of account settings showing subscription status.

After you cancel

• Save cancellation confirmation emails or screenshots.
• Keep any customer support replies and case numbers for refund claims.

Common mistakes

Typical errors

Many users try to cancel in the wrong place (for example cancelling on the website when the subscription was billed via Apple or Google). This delays cancellation and refunds.

How to avoid them

Check your billing statement to see who charged you. If Apple or Google billed the charge, cancel in the App Store or Google Play settings rather than on the DeepDyve website.
