Moving abroad or change of residency

If you move address and cannot use the service in the new location, state the change and supply proof such as a new utility bill or tenancy agreement. Answer.AI does not publish a specific relocation policy; provide documentation and request cancellation to [email protected]. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 when the contract was concluded at a distance.

Price increase

If Answer.AI increases the price and you do not accept the change, cancel before the change takes effect. The research shows that if a user does not agree to updates to the terms they must cancel before updates become effective. Provide the notification you received and request a prorated refund for unused prepaid time. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

Death of the subscriber

For death of the account holder, contact [email protected] and supply a death certificate or executor documentation. Answer.AI has not published a formal bereavement policy in the available materials; request account closure and refund of any unused prepaid amounts where applicable under law.

Legitimate grounds accepted by Answer.AI

Research indicates Answer.AI accepts cancellation at any time for paid accounts and requires cancellation before updated terms if you disagree. For other legitimate grounds (serious illness, prolonged inability to use the service), provide supporting documents such as medical certificates. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 for services performed with reasonable care and skill.

End of commitment or subscription term

If your plan is monthly you have 0 months minimum commitment for chatbot plans. For receptionist services some plans require a minimum deposit of £25 to activate the online account. At the end of a paid period you may cancel to avoid renewal by following the online or app-store cancellation steps. Applicable law: Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 regarding subscription renewals.

Cooling-off period and distance sales

When a contract was concluded online or off premises you have a 14-day cooling-off right under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 consumers have the right to cancel subscription contracts during initial cooling-off and any renewal cooling-off period. Cancellation is effective when you notify the trader with a clear statement. Refunds due by law must be returned within 14 days; for subscription contracts an "end of contract notice" and refund of any overpayment must be provided within 24 hours for online notifications or within 3 working days for other notifications. See Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 - section 261.

Before you cancel: negotiate

The available research does not report specific retention discounts or loyalty credits offered by Answer.AI. There is no published retention-offer list. To ask for a retention offer, send a clear email to [email protected] with your account details, state the plan you have, explain why you plan to cancel, and request either a discount percentage or a temporary downgrade. Example request lines: "I would like to cancel unless you offer a reduced rate or a downgrade to a lower plan." Keep the reply as written proof.

What cancelling saves you - yearly calculations

Use these exact figures from Answer.AI pricing to compute annual savings if you cancel.

• Growth chatbot: £19 per month. Calculation: 19 x 12 = £228 per year saved.
• Professional chatbot: £99 per month. Calculation: 99 x 12 = £1,188 per year saved.
• Enterprise chatbot: £499 per month. Calculation: 499 x 12 = £5,988 per year saved.
• Lite virtual receptionist: £10 per month. Calculation: 10 x 12 = £120 per year saved (note: receptionist accounts also require a minimum deposit of £25 to activate).

Compare with the cheapest competitor listed: Verilex at £49 per month. Calculation: 49 x 12 = £588 per year.

Example savings if you cancel the Professional plan (£1,188 per year) and switch to Verilex (£588 per year): 1,188 - 588 = £600 saved per year.

Example savings if you simply cancel Growth at £19 per month without switching: 19 x 12 = £228 saved per year.

Key UK consumer laws

The main laws that protect UK consumers in subscription and distance sales are the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (services must be performed with reasonable care and skill and protection against unfair contract terms) and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 which give a 14-day cooling-off right for most online or off-premises contracts. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 adds explicit cooling-off rights for subscription contracts and rules for renewal notices. See Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Digital Markets 2024 - section 261.

Escalation and remedies

If Answer.AI does not comply with statutory refund rules or applies unfair renewal practices you can escalate: first complain to the trader providing dates and proof; then contact Citizens Advice for guidance; if necessary use the relevant ombudsman for the sector or your card issuer for Section 75 claims or a chargeback for qualifying card payments. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal as potentially unfair practices.

Access and end of service

After cancellation you typically retain access for any remaining paid period unless the provider states otherwise. If you cancelled under a cooling-off right you are entitled to a refund for services not provided. Keep confirmation emails and screenshots of on-screen confirmations.

Data and account deletion

Request account deletion or data export by emailing [email protected]. Ask for confirmation when the account is deleted. If you want to keep data, export or copy it before sending the deletion request.

Final billing and refunds

Statutory refunds must be issued within 14 days of being informed of cancellation under Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Research indicates refunds are issued if required by law and that a prorated refund will be offered if you cancel because you do not agree with updated terms. For subscription contract cancellations the trader must issue an end of contract notice and refund any overpayment within 24 hours for online notifications or within 3 working days for other notifications under the Digital Markets Act 2024.

Re-activation

You can re-subscribe at any time by signing up again. If you re-activate after cancellation, check whether any prior promotional pricing remains available and whether data was deleted during or after cancellation.

Before you cancel, follow this checklist to keep records and protect your rights.

• Locate your account email, plan name and last payment method digits.
• Take screenshots of your current subscription page and billing history.
• If you are in a free trial, check whether the trial was started via iOS; iOS trials may continue until the end of the trial even if cancelled early.
• Send a cancellation request via the web portal and/or email [email protected] and keep the confirmation.
• If you use App Store billing, cancel via Apple Subscriptions and keep the Apple confirmation email.
• If you are owed a refund, request a written calculation and keep all correspondence. Under Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 refunds must be processed within 14 days where applicable.
• If you do not receive a response within the statutory period, escalate to Citizens Advice and consider chargeback or Section 75 where payment qualifies.

Proof to keep

Confirmation email, screenshots, registered post proof if you sent a letter, Apple or Google Play confirmation emails, and any reply from [email protected].

If cancellation is disputed

Retain timestamps of your cancellation notification and request an end of contract notice. Use the legislative links provided to reference statutory deadlines when escalating.
