Cooling-off period (14 days)

If you purchased online you have a 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. To claim a full refund you must cancel within 14 days of the contract and not have given express consent to start the digital service. If you explicitly consented to immediate performance and acknowledged loss of the right to cancel, you may not be entitled to a full refund. Required proof: order date, account email, and cancellation request within 14 days. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Service does not perform or is misdescribed

If HeyGen fails to provide the service with reasonable care and skill, or the digital content is not as described, you may request a refund or a remedy under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Required proof: example of the defect or evidence of misrepresentation (screenshots, exported videos, timestamps). Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Price increase

If HeyGen raises the price during a subscription, check your contract terms. If the price increase breaches the agreed contract, you may have grounds to cancel. Required proof: notice of price change from HeyGen and your current subscription terms. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 (unfair terms) and the contract between you and HeyGen.

Moving / relocation

Relocation is not listed as an automatic ground for special cancellation in HeyGen documentation. Required proof if you wish to argue relocation: evidence of new permanent address and why the service is unusable; HeyGen does not publish a specific relocation cancellation policy. Applicable law: Contract terms and Consumer Rights Act 2015 for unfair terms if enforced unfairly.

Death of subscriber

HeyGen does not publish a public policy for death of a subscriber. To request cancellation for this reason, provide a copy of the death certificate and the contact details for the estate administrator and email [email protected]. Applicable law: Contract law; no specific HeyGen rule published.

End of minimum commitment

If you agreed a minimum contract period in your account or an annual plan, cancel after that period to avoid further charges. Required proof: your subscription invoice showing the start and billed period. Applicable law: Contract terms and Consumer Rights Act 2015 for unfair contract terms.

Before cancelling: negotiate

HeyGen publicly does not publish specific retention offers in their help pages. There are no documented standard retention discounts or account credits reported in the official help articles. To negotiate, contact [email protected] and request one of the following: a downgrade, a temporary pause, a prorated refund where applicable, or an extended trial. Provide your account email, subscription name, and a clear reason why you are asking for a retention offer.

What cancelling saves - concrete yearly math

Use these calculations to see what you save by cancelling or switching plans. HeyGen published prices (UK):

• Creator monthly: £21 x 12 = £252 per year.
• Creator annual: £18 per month billed yearly = £216 per year.
• Pro monthly: £37 x 12 = £444 per year.
• Pro annual (HeyGen listed): £31 per month billed yearly = £366 per year.
• Business monthly: £111 x 12 = £1,332 per year.

Compare to a cheaper alternative from research:

• Synthesia monthly equivalent: £17 x 12 = £204 per year. Synthesia annual: £204 per year as listed.

Example saving by switching from HeyGen Creator monthly to Synthesia annual: £252 - £204 = £48 saved per year. Example saving by switching from HeyGen Creator annual (£216) to Synthesia annual (£204): £216 - £204 = £12 saved per year.

Key UK consumer law

Two primary UK laws apply: the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (14-day cooling-off period for online contracts) and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (services must be performed with reasonable care and skill and unfair contract terms may be unenforceable).

Cooling-off and digital content exception

You have 14 days to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 unless you gave express consent for immediate digital performance and acknowledged loss of the right to cancel. If the digital service has started with your consent, the trader may charge for the proportion of service consumed.

Auto-renewal and hard-to-cancel practices

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) scrutinises unclear auto-renewal or hard-to-cancel subscriptions. If HeyGen made cancellation unreasonably difficult relative to sign-up, you may raise this as an unfair commercial practice with Citizens Advice or the CMA.

How to escalate

1) Complain to HeyGen first via [email protected]. 2) If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for guidance. 3) For card payments, consider Section 75 (if the purchase was made by a qualifying credit card) or a chargeback via your card issuer. Applicable laws: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013; Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Access and final billing

After cancellation your account continues to work until the end of the current billing cycle. HeyGen does not publish automatic prorated refunds for unused time; payments are generally non-refundable except in specific cases. Keep proof of cancellation and the billing cycle end date.

Data and exports

Export any videos, avatars or credits you need before the billing cycle ends. HeyGen does not publish a public data retention timescale; check the Master SaaS Agreement for account data terms or contact support to request data export or deletion. See: HeyGen Master SaaS Agreement.

Re-activation

You can re-subscribe at any time; existing avatars or credits may persist depending on account status. For changes between plans see HeyGen upgrade or downgrade guidance.
