If you move country and your subscription is not offered in the new territory, provide proof of address change such as a utility bill or tenancy contract and request cancellation and refund if applicable. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 when purchase was distance sale.
If Parallels increases the price during a subscription period and your contract allows cancellation for price rises, include the original terms and the notice of price increase. For automatic renewals, notify Parallels and request cancellation before the renewal date. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 regarding unfair contract terms and CMA guidance on auto-renewal.
Provide the death certificate and the account holder details, request account closure and cancellation. Parallels support will handle requests once documentary proof is provided.
If Parallels digital content is not of satisfactory quality or not as described, claim your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Provide screenshots, error logs and a description of the issue as proof. If the service remains faulty after reasonable attempts to fix, request termination and refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
If your subscription term expires and you do not want auto-renewal, cancel before the renewal date via your account or by written notice. Keep a copy of the cancellation confirmation.
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days to cancel distance contracts for digital content and services. If you request immediate access to digital content and the download or use has started with your consent, the trader may treat the right as terminated. To claim a refund within 14 days, send a cancellation notice and state you are exercising your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
Parallels sometimes offers retention options but there is no public catalogue of discounts reported in the research. To ask for a retention offer, contact [email protected] or use the account chat and state your reason and a competing price. If you purchased via Apple or Google, ask the platform support about any platform-level offers.
Use the actual annual Parallels prices and competitor costs to compute savings.
Parallels Desktop Standard Edition: £71.99 per year.
Parallels Desktop Pro Edition: £94.99 per year.
Parallels Desktop Business Edition: £98.99 per year.

Competitor NOC365 entry price: £50 per month x 12 = £600 per year.
Saving example - switching from NOC365 lowest plan to Parallels Desktop Standard:
£50 x 12 = £600 per year (NOC365) minus £71.99 = £528.01 saved per year.
Another example - cancelling Parallels Pro to stop annual billing: you save £94.99 per year.
Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 provide a 14-day cooling-off period for distance sales with a refund right; if you asked for immediate access and used the digital content, the right may be lost. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires digital content to be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. The CMA scrutinises unclear auto-renewal and hard-to-cancel subscriptions.
If Parallels refuses a lawful refund or obstructs cancellation, first complain to Parallels via [email protected] and keep records. If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for guidance and consider:
Read the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/3134/2026-01-01 and Parallels terms at Parallels licensing terms.
Confirm the cancellation email or recorded delivery receipt. Verify whether your licence remains active until the end of the prepaid period and whether access is revoked immediately.
Export or back up any virtual machine files or data stored in Parallels-managed services before the subscription expires. Parallels does not guarantee retention of user data after termination unless stated in the terms.
Review your bank or card statements for any unexpected charges after cancellation. If you are charged after cancellation, contact [email protected] and provide proof of cancellation. Re-activation is possible by purchasing a new licence from Parallels buy page.
