Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 - cooling-off rights where relevant: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Price increase

If Tool Resume increases the price mid-contract and you reject the change, UK law requires that you should be allowed to cancel where a material change is made to a recurring payment term. Provide the notice you received about the price increase; keep screenshots and your cancellation request. Applicable law: Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 and Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. See Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

Death of a subscriber

To cancel for the death of the account holder, send a copy of the death certificate and a request to [email protected] from the executor or family member. Tool Resume has not published a specific policy; use the postal address if email does not get a timely response. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Legitimate ground accepted by Tool Resume

Research found no public list of accepted "legitimate grounds" by Tool Resume. If you claim a legitimate ground such as service failure under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, provide supporting documents (screenshots, failed delivery details). Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

End of commitment and cooling-off

If you cancel during the 14-day cooling-off period for online contracts under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you are entitled to a refund unless you gave express consent for immediate start of digital content. To claim this, request a refund and provide the date of purchase. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Before you cancel - negotiate

Tool Resume is known to prompt retention offers when users attempt to cancel. Research reports the platform may offer to pause the subscription, a discounted rate, or a free month to keep you. To request retention options, send an email to [email protected] with subject line "Request retention offer" and your cancellation reason. Ask specifically for a pause, a discount percentage or a single free month. If you want to leave, decline any offer and ask for written confirmation of cancellation.

What cancelling saves you - math and cheapest real alternative

Monthly subscription cost: £34.99. Annual subscription cost: £89.90.

Yearly cost on monthly billing: 12 x £34.99 = £419.88. Annual plan: £89.90. Savings switching from monthly to annual: 419.88 - 89.90 = £329.98 per year.

If you cancel the 7-day Classic trial (paid £0.90) and avoid the first auto-renewal at £34.99, you save £34.99 immediately plus £329.98 over a year if you would otherwise have stayed on monthly.

Cheapest competitor shown in research: StandOut CV at £5 per month or £60 per year. StandOut CV monthly: £5. Annual: £60. Yearly cost difference vs Tool Resume annual: £89.90 - £60 = £29.90 saved per year by choosing StandOut CV annual instead of Tool Resume annual.

Key UK laws

Relevant laws include the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 which provide a 14-day cooling-off right for most online contracts and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires services to be provided with reasonable care and skill. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 covers unfair auto-renewal practices and sets stronger rules for cancellations.

Refunds, cancellation timing and remedies

Cooling-off rights: You have 14 days to cancel most online contracts and receive a refund if you have not given express consent to start digital content. If you asked for immediate access to digital content and it started, cancellation rights can be limited. Upon valid cancellation, you must be reimbursed for payments for services not provided. If Tool Resume refuses a lawful refund, escalate to Citizens Advice and consider chargeback with your card issuer or a Section 75 claim if you paid by credit card for purchases over £100.

How to escalate

Step 1: Complain to Tool Resume by email or post and ask for a written response. Step 2: If unresolved, get advice from Citizens Advice. Step 3: File a chargeback request with your bank or a Section 75 claim if eligible. The Competition and Markets Authority watches hard-to-cancel subscriptions and may act where terms are unfair.

Check access and exports

After cancellation you retain access until the end of the paid period. Export your CVs and cover letters immediately in the formats you need (PDF, DOCX) to avoid losing access when the term ends. Save copies locally and to cloud storage.

Final billing and refunds

Check your bank statement for the final billing date. If you cancelled within the 14-day cooling-off period and did not consent to immediate digital start, request a refund. For any disputed charge after cancellation, keep the cancellation confirmation and contact your card issuer for chargeback or Section 75 where applicable.

Data and re-activation

Tool Resume has not published a data retention policy publicly; request account data export and deletion from [email protected]. To re-activate, log back into your account and select a plan; note that any promotional pricing may not be available on re-subscription.

Follow the checklist below to cancel cleanly and preserve evidence.

• Find your next renewal date in account settings and cancel before that date.
• Cancel via the web account for the fastest confirmation and take a screenshot of the confirmation screen.
• Send an email to [email protected] requesting written confirmation and keep both sent and received emails.
• If you used a trial (7 Days Classic at £0.90 or 7 Days Unlimited at £1.90), confirm the trial end date and ensure cancellation before the renewal to avoid £34.99 billing.
• Export all CVs and cover letters in PDF and DOCX formats before access ends.
• If you paid and are within 14 days and did not consent to immediate digital access, request a refund citing the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
• If you cannot get a reply, prepare evidence for a bank chargeback or a Section 75 claim.
