Moving / change of circumstances

If you move or your circumstances change and you no longer need documents, request cancellation via your account or Help Centre and state the reason. LawDepot accepts standard cancellation requests via the online portal; provide a copy of a new address proof if you want a record, although proof is not expressly required for a standard subscription cancellation.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 - 14-day cancellation rights for distance contracts where relevant. See the Regulations.

Price increase

If LawDepot increases the subscription price, you may cancel before the change takes effect. Keep the notice or invoice showing the price increase and submit it with your cancellation request. If an increase happens at renewal and you cancel before renewal, no fee can be imposed for the cancellation under the Consumer Rights Act protections for unfair terms.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 protections and CMA guidance on auto-renewal fairness.

Death of subscriber

In the event of the subscriber's death, a representative should contact LawDepot by phone or email and provide a copy of the death certificate and proof of identity to request account closure. LawDepot's documented cancellation process via the Help Centre applies; processing time follows the standard 1 business day review.

Applicable law: distance contract rules and standard company bereavement handling practices.

Legitimate ground / documented reasons

LawDepot does not publish a special list of accepted 'legitimate grounds' beyond normal consumer cancellation rights. For refunds or exceptions beyond standard policy, submit supporting documents such as proof of purchase, card statement and, where relevant, a certificate or invoice showing the reason claimed.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Consumer Rights Act 2015.

End of commitment

When a fixed-term One Year Pro plan ends, cancellation before renewal is required to prevent automatic renewal. Annual subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. To avoid renewal charges, cancel before the renewal date and keep confirmation.

Cooling-off rights

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 you have a 14-day cancellation period for distance contracts. For digital services, if you expressly consent to immediate access, the statutory right to cancel may end once the service starts. The Consumer Rights Act 2024 introduces cooling-off rules for subscription contracts, including initial cooling-off and renewal cooling-off periods. For details see Consumer Rights Act 2024.

Before you cancel - negotiate

No specific retention offers by LawDepot are published in the available sources. If you want a retention offer, call 0800 014 8912 and ask for a retention or downgrade option. Script: state your account email, explain you will cancel, ask if there is a discounted annual price or a pause option, and request any offer in writing. Save any written offer as proof.

What cancelling saves you - concrete math

If you are on the 7-day trial that converts to a monthly plan at £33 per month, annual cost would be 33 x 12 = £396.00. The One Year Pro listed price is £83.88 per year. Savings when switching from monthly at £33 to One Year Pro at £83.88: 33 x 12 = £396.00 minus £83.88 = £312.12 saved per year.

Compare to a cheaper competitor: DocPilot Pro is priced at £19 per month or £228 per year (19 x 12 = £228). If you cancel LawDepot monthly at £33 and move to DocPilot Pro at £19, the saving is 33 x 12 = £396.00 minus £228 = £168.00 per year.

Key UK consumer laws

The main laws that apply to LawDepot subscriptions in the UK are the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Consumer Contracts Regulations provide a 14-day cooling-off right for distance contracts. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and restricts unfair contract terms. The Consumer Rights Act 2024 adds subscription cooling-off provisions.

Auto-renewal and unfair terms

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) considers hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms to be potential unfair practices. If a subscription automatically renews without clear notice, consumers have rights to challenge unfair terms and seek redress including cancellation and refund where statutory conditions apply.

How to escalate

First complain to LawDepot through the Help Centre or by phone. If unresolved, seek guidance from Citizens Advice or escalate to the relevant ombudsman for your sector. For card charges, consider a Section 75 claim or a chargeback request with the card issuer if eligible. For legal texts see Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Consumer Rights Act 2024.

Check confirmation and final billing

Save the cancellation confirmation email and check your bank statement for final charges within 14 days. LawDepot staff review cancellations within 1 business day and will confirm by email or contact you for more information.

Access to downloaded documents and account data

After cancellation you will typically retain access to documents that you downloaded and any printable copies you saved. If you need account data or document copies, export them before the subscription end or ask LawDepot support to provide copies.

Re-activation and refunds

You can re-activate a subscription by signing in and subscribing again. Refund entitlement depends on the plan and timing: annual subscriptions are subject to a refund within 30 days of initial purchase per LawDepot's terms for some cases; free trials converted to paid access are generally not eligible for refunds. See LawDepot terms for details.
