Moving abroad or relocation

If you move and need to cancel, provide a copy of a new utility bill, tenancy agreement or official document showing your new address. Stan accepts standard address proof for account verification. The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 cooling-off rules apply only where the contract was concluded at a distance.

Price increase

If Stan changes the agreement in a way that has a detrimental effect on you (excluding changes to subscription fees), you may be eligible for a reasonable refund for any period after the detriment date. Provide the notice of change sent by Stan and evidence of your original subscription date. This entitlement is described in Stan publicly reported refund exceptions.

Death of subscriber

To cancel for reasons of death, provide a copy of the death certificate and proof of your relationship or authority to manage the account. Stan's Support Team reviews exceptional cancellations as part of their manual refund and account closure process.

Legitimate ground accepted by Stan

Stan will consider refunds or special cancellations when there is a detrimental change to the agreement (excluding fee changes) or other extenuating circumstances. Evidence required is a clear description and supporting documents; the Support Team manually reviews requests. See Stan refund policy: Stan refund policy.

End of commitment

Stan has no lock-in contracts. You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current monthly billing period unless during a free trial, when it takes effect immediately.

Cooling-off period (14 days)

For services bought online in the United Kingdom, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 gives you a 14-day cooling-off period starting the day after the contract is concluded. If you cancel within 14 days and Stan has not provided the service, you are entitled to a full refund. If you agreed that Stan should start providing the service within the 14-day period and Stan has started, they can charge for the service supplied up to the point of cancellation. Reference: Citizens Advice - cancelling a service.

Before you cancel - negotiate

Stan retention offers are not publicly listed in the available research. If you want to ask for a saving or retention offer, contact Support via the Help Centre and request a subscription review. Mention your account email, current plan and a clear reason for cancellation. Keep written confirmation of any offer.

What cancelling saves you - yearly saving calculation

Because Stan publishes pricing primarily in AUD or USD and not in GBP for the services referenced, we compare realistic UK alternatives with concrete prices in GBP. Choose the cheapest listed competitor plan as a real alternative.

Example annual cost and saving when switching to a competitor:

• Jaccountancy Solo Plan: £35 per month x 12 = £420 per year.
• Sleek: £60 per month x 12 = £720 per year.
• YF Accounting: £50 per month x 12 = £600 per year.
• Crunch: £94 per month x 12 = £1,128 per year.

If your current Stan subscription effectively costs more than £420 per year, switching to Jaccountancy would save at least the difference. Example formula: If Stan cost were higher than £420 per year, Savings = Stan annual price - £420. Stan GBP prices are not publicly disclosed, so compute your personal saving by substituting your billed annual total.

Key UK consumer law

The relevant UK laws are the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The regulator for consumer advice is Citizens Advice. The CMA enforces rules on auto-renewal and hard-to-cancel subscriptions.

Cooling-off and digital content

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have a 14-day cooling-off period for distance contracts. For digital content, if you asked the service to start performance within the 14-day period and agreed to lose the right to cancel, cancellation rules differ: the trader can charge for the proportion of the service supplied up to cancellation.

Escalation steps

1. Complain to Stan Support in writing and keep evidence. 2. If unresolved, get guidance from Citizens Advice: Citizens Advice. 3. If the payment was by credit card and meets Section 75 conditions, contact your card issuer for chargeback or Section 75 claim. 4. For suspected unfair subscription practices, report to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

Access and remaining period

If you cancel after a free trial your access ends immediately. If you cancel after a paid month, access remains until the end of that monthly billing period. Save any content you need before access ends.

Data and account closure

Request account deletion or export via the Help Centre. Keep a local copy of receipts and any export Stan provides. If you want re-activation later, sign in and subscribe again.

Final billing and refunds

Stan's standard position is that fees already paid are not refundable unless you cancel within applicable legal rights or a special refund is granted by Support. Stan manually reviews refund requests for extenuating circumstances and for detrimental changes to the agreement. For full details see Stan refund policy: Stan refund policy.
