Cancel Splice the easy way

Overview

Splice is a subscription service and marketplace for digital audio samples, presets, MIDI and plugin payment plans targeted at music creators. It offers monthly credit-based plans, instrument presets, and cloud project tools.

How Splice works

Moving / relocation

If you move country and cannot use the service due to regional restrictions, provide proof of new address such as a utility bill or tenancy agreement. Splice does not publish a specific relocation cancellation policy. Check account billing and contact [email protected] for assistance.

Price increase

If Splice raises the price mid-contract, you may cancel if the increase is not agreed in your original terms. Provide a copy of the notice you received and your subscription details. Relevant law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Consumer Rights Act 2015 on unfair contract terms.

Death of subscriber

To cancel after the subscriber has died, send a copy of the death certificate and proof of authority to act for estate to [email protected] or by post. Splice does not publish a specific death policy in the support pages; supporting documents are typically required by companies for account closure.

Legitimate ground accepted by Splice

Research shows Splice accepts cancellation via app stores for in-app purchases, and cancels payment plans in the Billing section of accounts. For refunds and special cases contact Splice support. Proof: account identifiers and transaction receipts.

End of commitment

For monthly or annual plans, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period for Splice-billed plans. Provide account details and the cancellation confirmation. This follows Splice terms stating cancellation is effective at the end of the current billing cycle.

Cooling-off (14-day right)

UK consumers have a 14-day cooling-off period for online subscriptions under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you requested a subscription and did not start downloading or using the service, you can cancel and request a refund within 14 days. If you started downloading or used the service within the 14 days, Splice's terms state you waive the right to cancel and will not receive a full or partial refund for content used. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Part 4, Chapter 2 of the Consumer Rights Act 2024 on renewal cooling-off rights (Consumer Rights Act 2024 - cooling-off rights).

Before you cancel: negotiate

Splice support pages do not list standard retention discounts or offers. There are no public reports of automatic retention codes. To request an alternative, contact support by email at [email protected] or use the support form in the help centre. Ask for a temporary pause, a lower-cost plan, or an annual discount. Reference your account email, current plan, and a target monthly price when you request an offer.

What cancelling saves - yearly calculations

Compute annual costs to compare. Use the published monthly prices.

Sounds+ : 12.99 x 12 = 155.88 per year ("£155.88" per year).

Creator (monthly) : 19.99 x 12 = 239.88 per year ("£239.88" per year). Creator annual price: "£120" per year when billed annually (that is 10.00 x 12 quoted as billed annually as £120). Saving by choosing annual Creator instead of monthly Creator: 239.88 - 120 = "£119.88" per year.

Creator+ : 39.99 x 12 = 479.88 per year ("£479.88" per year).

INSTRUMENT : 12.99 x 12 = 155.88 per year ("£155.88" per year).

Cheapest real alternative: BandLab Sounds is free - "£0" per month. If you switch from Sounds+ at "£12.99" per month to BandLab free you save 12.99 x 12 = "£155.88" per year.

Key UK consumer laws

Relevant laws include the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (14-day cooling-off right for distance contracts and the digital content exception) and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 on services performed with reasonable care and skill and unfair contract terms. The 2024 update in the Consumer Rights Act contains specific renewal cooling-off protections for subscription contracts; see Consumer Rights Act 2024 - cooling-off rights.

Refunds and statutory rights

If you are within the 14-day cancellation period and have not started using downloadable content, you may be entitled to a refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If digital content has been downloaded or used with your consent before the end of the cooling-off period, that right is lost under the same regulations.

How to escalate

1) Complain first to Splice via [email protected] and keep written records. 2) If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for guidance and the Competition and Markets Authority for unfair auto-renewal practices. 3) For qualifying credit card payments, consider Section 75 or a chargeback via your card provider for disputed charges.

Access and downloads

After cancellation Splice-billed accounts keep access until the end of the billing period. If you cancel an in-app purchase via Apple or Google, access typically remains until the paid period ends. Any content you downloaded remains available under the licence terms (samples are royalty-free per Splice terms).

Final billing and refunds

If you request a refund and it is approved by Splice, refunds are credited to the original payment method and may take 5 to 10 business days to appear. Splice states only the most recent charge is eligible for a refund within the applicable refund window: 20 days for weekly and monthly plans and 60 days for yearly plans. For App Store or Google Play purchases, follow the store refund process because Splice cannot process refunds on behalf of those stores (Splice refund policy).

Re-activation

You can resubscribe at any time via the same purchase path you used originally (web or app store). If a refund was processed, the account is downgraded to the Free Plan immediately according to Splice support documentation.
