Moving abroad

If you move country, LeetCode does not publish a specific cancellation rule tied to relocation. To cancel, use the Manage Subscription page or contact [email protected] and attach proof of address change such as a new UK utility bill or tenancy agreement. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 for online contracts where a 14-day cooling-off may apply if in the initial period.

Price increase

If LeetCode raises its subscription price at renewal, check your renewal notice. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 requires traders to provide clear renewal cooling-off information. Provide the renewal notice or invoice as proof when disputing charges. Applicable law: Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

Death of subscriber

LeetCode does not publish a death-handling policy. Contact [email protected] with a copy of the death certificate and the account holder details to request cancellation and a case-by-case refund review. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 on unfair terms may be relevant in disputes.

Legitimate ground

LeetCode states refund requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Typical acceptable proofs are medical certificates, proof of duplicate purchases, or demonstrable billing errors. Provide the relevant document (medical certificate, bank statements, or purchase receipt). Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

End of commitment

If you purchased an annual plan, the subscription continues until the paid period ends. To stop renewal, cancel before the renewal date via the Manage Subscription page. Proof: on-screen confirmation or support email. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for renewal information obligations.

Cooling-off period (14 days)

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 UK customers have a 14-day cooling-off period for most online contracts starting the day after the contract is made. If you cancel within this period you may get a refund. If you asked LeetCode to begin the service during the 14 days, they may keep a proportionate amount for the service provided. To use this right, notify LeetCode by email to [email protected] and keep your notification as proof. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

Before you cancel: try negotiating

LeetCode has no publicly reported standard retention discounts found in the live research. To request a retention offer, contact [email protected] and clearly state the reason you want to leave, your current plan and the specific request (for example a discount or pro-rated switch to annual). Refer to the upgrade/change plan guidance: Can I upgrade/change my plan. Keep all replies as proof.

What cancelling saves you - concrete math

Use the published LeetCode price ranges to compute yearly savings when you switch from monthly to annual.

Scenario A - Monthly at £35: 35 x 12 = £420 per year. Annual plan at £140 saves 420 - 140 = £280 per year.

Scenario B - Monthly at £40: 40 x 12 = £480 per year. Annual plan at £160 saves 480 - 160 = £320 per year.

Compare with the cheapest competitor in the research: CodeSignal at £79 per month or £790 per year. Annual comparison vs CodeSignal:

LeetCode annual £140 versus CodeSignal annual £790: 790 - 140 = £650 saved per year.

If you pay monthly and switch from CodeSignal £79 to LeetCode monthly £35: 79 - 35 = £44 saved per month, 44 x 12 = £528 saved per year.

Relevant UK consumer law

Key laws: Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 adds rights for cancellation during initial and renewal cooling-off periods. The regulator to consult is Citizens Advice for consumer guidance and the Competition and Markets Authority for unfair contract terms.

Cooling-off and refunds

The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 grant a 14-day cooling-off period for most online contracts, starting the day after the contract is made. If you cancel during that period you are entitled to a refund, but a trader may deduct the cost for services already provided with your express consent. See Citizens Advice guidance: Citizens Advice - cancelling a service.

Auto-renewals and unfair practices

The CMA treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potentially unfair. If you face unclear renewal terms or difficulty cancelling, keep proof of attempted cancellation and escalate to Citizens Advice or the CMA.

Escalation steps

1) Complain to LeetCode via [email protected] or the Manage Subscription page. 2) If unresolved, seek advice from Citizens Advice. 3) For card payments, consider Section 75 (for credit cards) or a chargeback via your card issuer. 4) For legal backing, cite the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Legislation reference: Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

Access and final billing

After cancellation the subscription remains active until the paid period ends. Check your billing date and bank statements to confirm no further renewals occur. If a charge appears after cancellation, contact [email protected] and your card issuer.

Data and content

Before the service expiry, download or copy any solutions, notes or progress you want to keep from your account. Keep screenshots of cancellation confirmation and saved emails as proof.

Re-activation

You can re-subscribe at any time through your account. If you re-subscribe, check whether any promotional offers are still valid and whether a new billing cycle begins immediately.

Use this checklist to complete cancellation and protect your rights.

• Cancel via the Manage Subscription page before the renewal date.
• Save a screenshot of the on-screen cancellation confirmation.
• Save any confirmation email from [email protected] as proof.
• If you purchased via Apple or Google, cancel through your device store to stop renewals.
• Request a refund in writing within 14 days if within the cooling-off period and provide proof of the request.
• Keep bank statements for the next billing cycle to confirm no further charges.
• If you have a dispute, contact Citizens Advice and consider Section 75 or chargeback for qualifying card payments.
