Moving - change of residence

If you must cancel because you move to a country or region where the Astra service is not offered, provide proof such as a tenancy agreement, utility bill or council tax bill showing your new address. Astra has not published a separate relocation policy; use the account cancellation routes above and attach proof to your email or posted request. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 cooling-off rights may apply if service was bought online.

Price increase

If Astra raises the subscription price, you can cancel if the price change is material and the notice period allows cancellation before the change takes effect. Provide the price increase notice or a screenshot and request cancellation effective immediately. Applicable law: Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 consumers have clearer rights on subscription renewals and must be allowed to exit after changes.

Death of subscriber

To cancel because of the subscriber's death, send a copy of the death certificate plus proof of your right to act (executor or next of kin documentation) to [email protected] or by post. Astra has not published a dedicated deceased-account process; use the channels above and request final billing and account closure.

Legitimate grounds and unacceptable performance

If the service is not provided with reasonable care and skill, you can cancel and request a refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Evidence to supply includes dates of failures, screenshots, and correspondence requesting fixes. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and prohibits disproportionate cancellation penalties.

End of commitment

If your plan has a fixed minimum commitment such as the Astra AI Plus 12 month plan, you may be billed until the end of that period. Provide your contract or plan documentation to prove the commitment length. The contract terms govern early termination unless the cancellation falls within statutory cooling-off rights.

Cooling-off (change of mind)

For contracts concluded online or off-premises you have a 14 day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. The cooling-off period starts the day after the contract is formed. If you cancel within 14 days and paid upfront you are entitled to a full refund, unless you expressly asked for immediate performance of digital content and waived the right. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013; see Citizens Advice and DMCCA 2024.

Before you cancel - negotiate

Research shows no public record of specific retention offers from Astra. If you want to attempt retention, contact support by email at [email protected] and ask for any available discount, trial extension or downgrade. Provide your account ID and a short reason for staying. Suggested message: "Account: [email]. I plan to cancel on [date]. Do you offer a discount, trial extension or lower-tier plan to keep my subscription?" Keep written confirmation of any offer before accepting.

What cancellation saves - concrete maths

Use actual list prices to calculate savings when cancelling a paid plan:

• Astra AI monthly at £24.00: 12 x £24.00 = £288.00 per year. Cancel saving = £288.00 per year.
• Astra AI annual at £119.99: annual cost = £119.99. Switching from monthly to annual saves 12 x £24.00 - £119.99 = £288.00 - £119.99 = £168.01 per year.
• Astra AI Sigma monthly at £80.00: 12 x £80.00 = £960.00 per year.
• Astra AI weekly plan at £8.00 per week: 52 x £8.00 = £416.00 per year.
• Adastra Basic at £5.99 monthly: 12 x £5.99 = £71.88 per year.
• Adastra Premium at £6.99 monthly: 12 x £6.99 = £83.88 per year.

Cheapest real alternative from the competitor list is Keepr at £0 monthly, which yields an immediate full saving versus any paid Astra plan.

Key UK consumer law

Your rights when cancelling are governed by the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA) introduces new subscription protections including clearer renewal rules and an additional 14 day renewal cooling-off period for long contracts. See the official DMCCA reference: legislation.gov.uk.

Refunds, cooling-off and escalation

If you cancel within the 14 day cooling-off period you are entitled to a refund for services not supplied. If the service was supplied immediately with your express consent you may lose the right to a refund for the period used. Google Play refunds are subject to Google Play Refund Policy; Google Play will not issue refunds except as provided by its policy. If Astra refuses a lawful refund or imposes a disproportionate cancellation fee, you can escalate via Citizens Advice and, depending on the sector, a relevant ombudsman or seek chargeback/Section 75 with your card issuer. For general guidance, see Citizens Advice.

Check access and billing

After cancelling, confirm whether you retain access until the end of the paid period. For subscriptions cancelled in Google Play you keep access until the paid period ends. Keep copies of confirmation emails and screenshots of cancellation receipts.

Data and re-activation

Request a data export if you need your user data before account deletion. To reactivate, sign back into your account and choose a plan; if you had a fixed minimum commitment you may be required to pay outstanding amounts until the contract term ends unless cancellation falls under statutory rights.

Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is successful and documented.

• Find your subscription ID and billing email in the app or account settings.
• Choose the correct cancellation route: App Store, Google Play, website, email or post.
• Cancel via the store (App Store or Google Play) if you subscribed through a mobile store; do not just uninstall the app.
• Save confirmation screens and emails as proof of cancellation.
• If cancelling by post use recorded delivery to Astra, 123 Example Street, M1 1AA Manchester, United Kingdom.
• If within 14 days, request a refund and reference the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
• If you are refused a lawful refund, contact Citizens Advice and consider chargeback or Section 75 with your card issuer.
