Consequences of Cancellation
Before cancelling, consider these important consequences:
Immediate Access Loss
You will immediately lose access to all recordings stored on your device. This includes recordings that haven't been backed up to cloud storage. Once cancelled, there's no way to retrieve these recordings.
No Refunds for Partial Periods
Cancellation takes effect immediately, and you won't receive refunds for unused portions of your current billing period. If you cancel mid-month, you lose access immediately without prorated refunds.
Reactivation Costs
If you decide to reactivate later, you'll need to pay the full subscription fee again. There are no discounts for returning customers, and you'll start fresh with a new billing cycle.
App Functionality Loss
All premium features will be disabled immediately. This includes advanced recording options, cloud sync, transcription features, and any other paid functionality you've been using.
Cloud Sync Termination
Automatic cloud backup and sync will stop working. Any recordings that were only stored locally and not manually backed up will be permanently inaccessible.
Support Access Limitations
Priority customer support may be limited for cancelled accounts. You may experience longer response times or reduced support options compared to active subscribers.
Alternative Options to Cancellation
Before cancelling, consider these alternatives:
Downgrade Instead of Cancel
- Switch to Basic Plan: If available, downgrade to a lower-cost plan with fewer features
- Pause Subscription: Temporarily pause your subscription instead of cancelling
- Annual Billing: Switch to annual billing for potential savings
