Cooling-off right (14 days)

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, UK consumers have a 14-day right to cancel a service contract concluded at a distance. To use this right, notify Bubble in writing within 14 days of entering the contract and request a refund. If you asked Bubble to start the service during the 14 days, Bubble may deduct the cost of the service provided up to cancellation. Proof required: confirmation email or written cancellation and any evidence of start date.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Price increase

If Bubble raises the price mid-contract and the increase is not permitted by the contract terms, you may have a right to cancel. Required proof: notice of the price increase from Bubble or screenshots of changed billing amounts. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 protections against unfair contract terms.

End of minimum commitment

If your plan has a minimum commitment period stated in your billing or agreement, you can cancel at the end of that period without penalty. Required proof: your billing history showing start date and plan term.

Death of the subscriber

In the event of death, the estate executor may cancel the subscription by providing a copy of the death certificate and proof of authority to act for the estate. Required proof: death certificate and executor ID documents. Applicable law: general contract and estate administration rules (no specific Bubble policy published).

Legitimate grounds - defective service

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill. If Bubble fails repeatedly to deliver agreed services (for example persistent platform outages affecting paid features), record incidents and request remediation or termination and refund. Required proof: timestamps, error logs, screenshots and support tickets. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Before you cancel: negotiate

Bubble does not publish a formal retention offer list in public documentation. If you want to keep the service at a lower cost, send an email to [email protected] with your account ID and a clear request: either a downgrade to a lower plan name or a temporary credit. Record replies and ask for written confirmation of any price change or credit. If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, ask the store support for options tied to store billing.

What cancelling saves - yearly math

Below are sample yearly costs using Bubble GBP plan prices found in research. Multiply monthly cost by 12 to get annual cost.

Starter (Web only): 1) Monthly price £32 x 12 = £384 per year.

Starter (Web + Mobile): 2) Monthly price £69 x 12 = £828 per year.

Growth (Web + Mobile): 3) Monthly price £249 x 12 = £2,988 per year.

Team (Web + Mobile): 4) Monthly price £649 x 12 = £7,788 per year.

Example saving: canceling a Growth (Web + Mobile) plan at £249/mo saves £2,988/yr (calculation: 249 x 12 = 2,988).

Cheapest competitor from research: Kestern at £29 monthly - yearly cost £29 x 12 = £348 per year. Kestern may be a suitable, lower-cost alternative for service businesses.

Key UK consumer law

The main protections are the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 which provide a 14-day cooling-off right for distance contracts and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 requiring services to be provided with reasonable care and skill and preventing unfair contract terms.

Auto-renewal and CMA guidance

The Competition and Markets Authority views unclear auto-renewal and hard-to-cancel subscriptions as potentially unfair. If Bubble's auto-renewal terms are not clear in your account or billing emails, document the evidence and raise the issue with support, citing the CMA guidance as needed.

How to escalate

1) Complain to Bubble via support channels and keep written records. 2) If unresolved, get advice from Citizens Advice: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/changed-your-mind/cancelling-a-service-youve-arranged/. 3) For qualifying card payments, consider Section 75 or a chargeback via your card issuer. 4) If the dispute involves financial services, use the Financial Ombudsman Service where applicable.

Statutory refund timeline

If you validly cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period, traders must reimburse all payments within 14 days of being informed of the cancellation or receiving the returned goods under the Consumer Contracts Regulations: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/3134/2026-01-01.

Access and data retention

After cancellation your account access and hosted apps may remain available for a limited time depending on plan and billing. Export your app data and database before cancellation completes. If you need a data export, open the Data tab in Bubble and request CSV exports or backups.

Final billing and refunds

Check your billing history in Account > Billing for the final charge date. If you cancelled within 14 days and requested a refund, expect reimbursement within 14 days of cancellation notice under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. If you paid for annual billing, Bubble's public documentation on pro-rata refunds is not published; request a written decision and keep records.

Reactivation

You can reactivate your account by upgrading or restoring a plan in Account > Billing. Keep the email address tied to your Bubble account to speed reactivation. Enterprise contracts may require contacting account managers.

Use this checklist to cancel and protect your rights when leaving Bubble.

• Sign in to Bubble and try to cancel via Account > Billing; save screenshots of each step.
• If cancellation fails, email [email protected] with account details and request written confirmation.
• If within 14 days of contract formation, request a refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations and mention the 14-day right.
• Export your app data and databases as CSV or backups before cancellation.
• Keep copies of billing invoices, receipts and any communications from Bubble for at least 12 months.
• If you paid by credit card and dispute a refund, contact your card issuer about Section 75 or chargeback options.
• If unresolved after escalation to Citizen Advice, consider formal complaint routes or ombudsman services where relevant.
