Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 for service performance obligations.

Price increase by Path Social

If Path Social raises your subscription price during a fixed term, you can cancel if the price increase is not part of the contract renewal terms or you were not given clear pre-contract information. Send a cancellation request and include the notification you received from Path Social. If performance has not been completed, you may be entitled to a refund proportional to unused service.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

Death of the subscriber

For a service contract where the account holder dies, a representative should contact [email protected] and provide a copy of the death certificate and proof of authority to act for the estate. Path Social does not publish a formal bereavement policy; use email and postal contact with supporting documents.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 for contract termination on personal incapacity.

Legitimate ground or material breach

Legitimate grounds include failure to provide the paid service with reasonable skill and care.

Provide screenshots, data showing lack of service delivery or other evidence when you contact support.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

End of commitment

For monthly plans there is no minimum commitment beyond the paid period; for annual plans the commitment is 12 months paid up front. To end at the next renewal, cancel in your account before the renewal date or cancel via the store where you subscribed (App Store/Google Play) for in-app purchases.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 for renewal transparency.

Cooling-off right (14 days)

Under Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 UK consumers have a 14-day cooling-off period for most online service contracts. Path Social offers a 7-day money-back guarantee for new purchases; this is narrower than the 14-day statutory window but Path Social's stated policy is: request a refund within 7 days for new purchases. If you asked for performance to start immediately and Path Social started before the 14 days with your express consent, cooling-off may not apply. To exercise cooling-off, notify Path Social by email with your account details and request a refund where eligible.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

Before you cancel: negotiate

There are no public reports in available research of specific retention discounts Path Social offers. To ask for a retention offer, email [email protected] and provide your account email, current plan, and state you want a lower rate or a pause. Suggested message: "Account email: [[email protected]]. Current plan: [Core/Elite]. I wish to cancel but will continue if you offer a discounted rate or pause for X months. Please propose options." Keep any written offer from Path Social.

What cancelling saves you - yearly math

Use these real Path Social prices to compute annual cost and savings.

• Path Social Core monthly: £49 x 12 = £588 per year.
• Path Social Elite monthly: £69 x 12 = £828 per year.
• Path Social Core annual: £348 per year.
• Path Social Elite annual: £492 per year.

Cheapest real competitor from our list: AI Social Lab at £55 per month. Yearly cost: £55 x 12 = £660 per year.

Example savings if you cancel a Path Social Core monthly plan (£588) and switch to AI Social Lab (£660): you would not save money; you would pay £72 more per year. Example savings if you cancel Path Social Elite monthly (£828) and switch to Path Social Core annual (£348): £828 - £348 = £480 saved per year.

Concrete examples:

• Cancel Path Social Elite monthly (£69 x 12 = £828) and subscribe to Path Social Core annual (£348): 828 - 348 = £480 saved per year.
• Cancel Path Social Core monthly (£588) and move to Path Social Core annual (£348): 588 - 348 = £240 saved per year.

Which laws protect you

Key UK laws: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013; Consumer Rights Act 2015; and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. The relevant regulators for consumer contracts and unfair commercial practices include the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and Citizens Advice for complaints guidance.

Your specific rights

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have a 14-day cooling-off period for most online service contracts. Traders must supply clear cancellation information. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 services must be performed with reasonable care and skill. The DMCC Act 2024 requires transparent pre-contract information and explicit consent for renewals longer than six months and renewal reminders.

How to escalate if Path Social refuses

1) Complain in writing to Path Social via [email protected] and keep copies. 2) If unresolved, get advice from Citizens Advice or report to the Competition and Markets Authority if you suspect unfair terms such as hard-to-cancel renewal. 3) For card payments consider Section 75 or chargeback via your card issuer if the purchase was made by credit card. 4) Use small claims court for disputes over money when necessary.

Check access and final billing

After cancellation, confirm whether your access continues until the end of the paid period or ends immediately. For platform subscriptions cancelled via App Store or Google Play the store determines continued access. Check your bank or card statement for the final charge date and keep screenshots of cancellation confirmations.

Data and account content

Ask Path Social to export or delete your account data by emailing [email protected]. State whether you want data exported or permanently deleted and request confirmation. If you plan to reactivate later, ask about reactivation steps and whether previous settings are retained.

Re-activation

To re-activate, sign up again via Path Social's site or the app. If you had an annual plan and cancelled mid-term, re-activation requires a new payment. For App Store/Google Play subscriptions, re-subscribe through the relevant store.

Before and after cancellation follow this checklist to protect your money and data.

• Take screenshots of your account subscription page showing current plan and renewal date.
• If cancelling via account, screenshot the confirmation screen.
• If cancelling by email, send from your account email and keep a copy of the sent message and any reply.
• If cancelling via App Store or Google Play, save the cancellation confirmation email from Apple or Google.
• Record the final billing date and check your bank statement for final charges for 30 days after cancellation.
• If you want a refund, request it within Path Social's 7-day money-back window for new purchases and include proof of purchase.
• Request data export or deletion after cancellation by emailing [email protected].
• If you paid by credit card and need to escalate, contact your card issuer about Section 75 or chargeback.
