What happens when you cancel

Access and billing

If you cancel at the end of your billing period, your paid features remain until that date. If you cancel immediately, access may change to read-only.

No pro-rated refund is given for web subscriptions when cancelling (see refunds section).

Data retention and sheets

Sheets become read-only after cancellation and will be deleted after the platform’s retention period (Smartsheet states sheets are deleted after 30 days for some cancellations).

Export or transfer ownership of important sheets before cancelling to preserve data.

Invoices and contract implications

Invoice-billed or contract accounts may have specific end dates, notice periods or termination clauses; check your contract or contact your Account/Billing team.

Resellers or local agreements can affect timing, support and refunds.

Will I get a refund?

Web subscriptions (official policy)

Smartsheet’s Help Centre states there are no pro-rated refunds for web subscriptions and cancellations generally do not qualify for refunds under their User Agreement.

Expect to retain service until the end of the paid billing period unless you select immediate cancellation, which may not trigger a refund.

Reference: Smartsheet help: How to cancel a Smartsheet account.

App Store and Google Play purchases

• Refunds for iOS / Android purchases must be requested from Apple or Google directly, following their refund policies.
• Smartsheet cannot process App Store or Play Store refunds; see the mobile EULA for details.
• Reference: Smartsheet Mobile EULA.

Exceptions and consumer protections

Local consumer protection laws may provide remedies or cooling-off rights that override contractual clauses in some cases.

If you believe you were mis-sold service, charged incorrectly, or the service failed to meet promised standards, raise the issue with Smartsheet and consider local legal or consumer-agency options.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

General protections

South African consumers are protected by laws covering fair practices, misrepresentation and defective services; these laws can provide remedies where a service is mis-sold or fails to meet standards.

If Smartsheet’s contractual policy denies a refund but statutory rights apply, local law may override contractual terms in certain circumstances.

Practical steps if you have a dispute

• Document the issue (invoices, screenshots, emails) and contact Smartsheet support and your reseller if applicable.
• If unresolved, consider lodging a complaint with your bank (chargeback) or consult the National Consumer Commission or legal advice for South African consumer remedies.

Documentation checklist

What to gather before cancelling

• Account admin email and login details.
• Latest invoices or order numbers for the subscription you want to cancel.
• Contract or reseller agreement if billed by invoice.
• Screenshots of billing charges or renewal notifications, if disputing charges.

Data and ownership checklist

• Export important sheets, reports and attachments (CSV, PDF or Excel exports).
• Transfer ownership of shared sheets to other users as needed.
• Record integrations, API keys and connected systems before revoking access.

Common mistakes

Failing to export data

Many users cancel without exporting sheets or transferring ownership and then lose access when the account becomes read-only or data is deleted.

Always export critical content and remove dependencies before confirming cancellation.

Neglecting App Store subscriptions and billing sources

Users sometimes cancel a web account but forget to cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription, which results in continued charges.

Also confirm whether you are billed directly by Smartsheet, a reseller, or by invoice to ensure proper cancellation steps.
