Moving / Change of address

If you move and need to cancel a commercial subscription, provide a signed request and a document showing the new address if TeamViewer asks for address verification. TeamViewer does not publish a specific move exception; use normal cancellation routes.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 where relevant for consumer contracts.

Price increase

If TeamViewer raises the subscription price mid-term and your contract allows termination for price increases, supply the renewal notice showing the new price. Research did not list a specific TeamViewer policy on automatic termination for price increases; submit the renewal notice and request cancellation.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 for fairness of contract terms; contact Citizens Advice if you suspect unfair terms.

Death of subscriber

If the account holder dies, send a signed request from the estate executor and a copy of the death certificate and proof of executor authority. TeamViewer accepts signed letters sent to the registered address per research guidance on signed letters to the respective TeamViewer entity.

Applicable law: normal probate and contract transfer rules; seek legal advice for estate administration.

Legitimate ground (service not provided with reasonable skill)

If TeamViewer fails to supply a paid service with reasonable care and skill, cite the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and provide evidence such as support correspondence, logs of downtime or service failure. Request remediation or cancellation and a refund for services not supplied with reasonable care and skill.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

End of commitment

For annual subscriptions, your minimum commitment is 12 months. To avoid renewal you must Cancel at least 28 days before the end of the annual term. Provide your account details and request an end-of-term cancellation.

Applicable rule: TeamViewer requires 28 days notice before the end of the term per TeamViewer subscription information.

Cooling-off period (change of mind)

For new online purchases, UK consumers have a 14-day cooling-off right under The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. To use it, notify TeamViewer within 14 days of the contract start and request a refund. If you asked TeamViewer to start supplying the service during the 14 days, TeamViewer may retain payment for the portion supplied.

Applicable law: The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 - 14-day right to cancel.

Before you cancel: negotiate

Research does not record public retention offers from TeamViewer. If you want to keep the service, contact TeamViewer via the Customer Portal or support ticket and ask for retention pricing, downgrade options or add-on removal. Request a written quote for any alternative offer and save it as proof before accepting.

What cancelling saves you

Compute annual savings by comparing your TeamViewer plan annual price with a lower-cost alternative found in research.

Example calculations:

• TeamViewer Business annual: £430.80
• TeamViewer Premium annual: £874.80
• TeamViewer Corporate annual: £1,798.80
• TeamViewer Remote Access annual: £126.35
• Competitor DeskZap annual: £50.00

If you cancel TeamViewer Business and replace it with DeskZap: £430.80 - £50.00 = £380.80 saved per year.

If you cancel TeamViewer Remote Access and replace with DeskZap: £126.35 - £50.00 = £76.35 saved per year.

Cheapest real alternative from research: DeskZap at £50 per year.

Key UK consumer law

Two main laws protect UK consumers when cancelling digital services: The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Citizens Advice provides guidance on cancelling services purchased online: Citizens Advice - cancelling a service.

Cooling-off and refunds

The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 gives a 14-day cooling-off period for online service contracts. TeamViewer also offers a 7-day money-back guarantee for newly purchased licenses per TeamViewer policy; this 7-day guarantee does not apply to renewals or trials that converted to paid invoices.

Auto-renewal and unfair practices

The Competition and Markets Authority flags hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potential unfair practices. If TeamViewer makes cancellation difficult or fails to provide clear renewal notice, escalate to Citizens Advice for next steps.

Escalation steps

1) Complain to TeamViewer and keep copies of all communication. 2) If unresolved, get help from Citizens Advice. 3) For qualifying card payments, consider a Section 75 or chargeback claim with your card issuer. 4) If you suspect unfair contract terms, report to the CMA.

Access and service period

If you cancel before the renewal date, access usually remains until the paid period ends. TeamViewer does not publish partial-period refunds for mid-term cancellations; you typically retain access until the billing period expiry.

Data and devices

Export any stored device lists, settings or logs before the subscription ends. If you used the free personal plan, your account remains but you lose commercial features when your paid subscription ends.

Final billing and refunds

For newly purchased licenses you may qualify for TeamViewer's 7-day money-back guarantee if requested within 7 days from purchase. Refunds for renewals are excluded from the 7-day guarantee. To request a refund, use the Customer Portal or submit a support ticket and reference the invoice number. If you believe UK statutory rights apply, cite the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 or the Consumer Rights Act 2015 as appropriate.

Follow this checklist in order to cancel cleanly and keep proof:

• Locate your account email and invoice number.
• Decide cancellation method: Customer Portal, support ticket, email or registered letter.
• If cancelling by post, send a signed registered letter to: TeamViewer, 62 Goldsworth Road, GU21 6LQ Woking, United Kingdom.
• Request written confirmation or ticket ID and save it as PDF or screenshot.
• Note the subscription renewal date and ensure cancellation is submitted at least 28 days before that date.
• If you purchased recently, check the 7-day money-back guarantee window and request a refund within 7 days of purchase.
• Export settings, device lists and logs before access ends.
• If dispute arises, contact Citizens Advice and prepare card statements for chargeback if needed.
