Moving abroad or relocation

PDF Master does not publish a dedicated relocation policy; [email protected] is the contact for requests.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 - right to cancellation for distance contracts where relevant.

Price increase

If PDF Master increases the subscription price at renewal, you may be entitled to cancel without penalty. Keep the price change notice (email or screenshot) and your subscription terms. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 provides a 14 day renewal cooling-off period in many cases following a price change where renewal occurs after a trial or a 12 month automatic renewal.

Required proof: copy of the price change notification and your previous invoice showing the prior price.

Death of the subscriber

For subscription cancellation after the subscriber's death, PDF Master has not published a bereavement policy. Contact [email protected] with a copy of the death certificate and proof of relationship to the account. If payment was by card, next-of-kin may request cancellation and a refund where permitted by the merchant.

Legitimate ground or defective service

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 services must be performed with reasonable care and skill. If PDF Master delivers defective digital services, document defects, dates and correspondence. Retain screenshots and support ticket copies. You may request a fix, a price reduction or cancellation and refund depending on the problem.

Required proof: screenshots, example files that reproduce the defect, support correspondence.

End of commitment

When a fixed-term subscription ends, allow your contract to expire or cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period to avoid auto-renewal charges. PDF Master asks customers to cancel at least 24 hours before expiry to prevent renewal.

Cooling-off (14 day right to cancel)

If you bought the subscription online, you generally have a 14 day cooling-off right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. For digital content, you lose the right to withdraw if you gave express consent to begin downloading or streaming during the cooling-off period. For web subscriptions purchased from the PDF Master Website Store, PDF Master offers a full refund if cancellation occurs within 14 days of subscription start, excluding any coupon amount as stated in their money-back policy. See PDF Master money-back policy for details.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013; Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

Before you cancel - try negotiating

Research shows no publicly reported retention offers from PDF Master. Contact [email protected] and request a retention offer or downgrade. When contacting support, state your account email, your reason for leaving and ask for a price-matched or downgraded plan. Keep the reply as written confirmation of any offer.

What cancelling saves you - yearly math

Use these example plan prices from research to compute yearly savings.

Subscription Member monthly price: £3.33. Calculation: 3.33 x 12 = £39.96. PDF Master lists an annual first-year price of £39.99 and auto-renew at £79.99 after the first year. Yearly cost (first year) = £39.99. Yearly cost (on renewal) = £79.99.

Cisdem PDFMaster annual plan: £49.99 per year. Equivalent monthly: £49.99 / 12 = £4.17 per month. Lifetime Cisdem option: £79.99 one-time.

Example savings if you cancel the Subscription Member and move to Cisdem annual: £49.99 - £39.99 = £10.00 higher per year, so cancelling would not save money in that comparison. Example saving by cancelling a renewing PDF Master subscription at £79.99 compared to keeping it: canceling saves £79.99 per year.

Cheapest listed alternative from research: PDF Master free plan at £0 per year with limited features. Paid third-party competitors are more expensive: EazyCapture is £8.15 monthly per client (equivalent £97.80 per year) and Slipz Starter is £9.00 monthly (equivalent £108.00 per year). Use price comparisons when choosing a replacement.

Key UK consumer laws

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give a 14 day cooling-off right for most online purchases with refund rights. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and protects against unfair contract terms. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 introduces initial and renewal cooling-off periods of 14 days for subscription contracts in many situations. See the DMCCA text here: Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

How to escalate

1) Complain to PDF Master first, including dates and evidence. 2) If unresolved, seek help from Citizens Advice and consider formal complaint channels relevant to the payment method. 3) For card payments, consider Section 75 or a chargeback through your card issuer where eligible. 4) For persistent unfair terms or hard-to-cancel subscriptions, notify the Competition and Markets Authority or seek Citizens Advice guidance.

Check access and features

After cancellation you may retain access until the end of the paid billing period. If cancellation occurs during a 14 day refund window and you requested a refund, access may end upon refund. Keep a local backup of any edited PDFs and exported files before cancellation.

Final billing and refunds

PDF Master website subscriptions: a full refund (excluding coupon amounts) is available if cancellation occurs within 14 days of subscription as per PDF Master money-back policy. If cancellation occurs after 14 days, no refund is guaranteed except where required by law. For App Store purchases, Apple processes refunds and subscription management. To request a web refund contact [email protected] and reference the subscription date and transaction ID. See PDF Master money-back policy for the merchant statement and subscription terms for billing rules.

Re-activation

If you sign up again later, you will need to create a new subscription or re-activate your previous account. Keep your account email and confirmation receipts to speed re-activation.
