Cancel Cricut: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your cricut access subscription in the UAE: step-by-step guide and consumer rights
Understanding cricut access and why you might want to cancel
Cricut Access is a subscription service built into Cricut Design Space that gives you unlimited access to a digital library of fonts, images, and ready-made projects. You use these assets with Cricut cutting machines to create custom designs on materials like vinyl, cardstock, fabric, and leather.
If you've subscribed to Cricut Access but find the service no longer fits your needs-whether due to cost, unused features, or changing creative priorities-cancelling is straightforward. At Stopee, we help thousands of UAE consumers navigate cancellation processes with clarity and confidence, and Cricut is no exception.
This guide walks you through every method to cancel your Cricut Access subscription, what happens after you cancel, your refund rights under UAE law, and the mistakes to avoid. By the end, you'll have the exact steps and knowledge to take control of your subscription.
Cricut access vs. one-time purchases
It's essential to separate Cricut Access (recurring monthly or annual subscriptions) from other purchases like physical machines, supplies, cartridges, or one-off digital assets. Cancellation rules differ significantly between them. This guide focuses on cancelling recurring subscriptions; other product returns follow separate policies managed by Cricut Member Care.
Why stopee exists to guide you through this
Subscription cancellations often involve hidden renewal dates, multi-platform confusion (web vs. app store billing), and unclear refund policies. Stopee cuts through that noise and empowers you to cancel on your own terms. Let's start.
Your consumer rights in the UAE: what the law protects
The UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006) gives you specific rights when you purchase digital services online, including a 14-day cooling-off period for distance contracts.
The 14-day cooling-off period
If you subscribed to Cricut Access within the last 14 days, you have the legal right to cancel and request a refund without penalty, provided the subscription hasn't been fully delivered or accessed. This applies to subscriptions purchased directly from Cricut.com or through the Cricut Design Space app.
Important: The cooling-off window starts from the date you first gain access to the subscription, not the purchase date. Track this carefully.
What happens if cricut's policy conflicts with UAE law
Cricut's stated non-refund policy for subscriptions may conflict with your statutory cooling-off rights under UAE law. If Cricut refuses to honour your legal right to cancel within 14 days, Stopee recommends escalating to the UAE Federal Authority for Consumer Protection (part of the Ministry of Economy). This authority enforces consumer rights and can compel companies to comply.
Collect proof of purchase, your subscription start date, and any communication with Cricut before filing a complaint. The authority's involvement often motivates swift resolution.
Three ways to cancel your cricut access subscription
You can cancel Cricut Access through three distinct channels, depending on where you purchased the subscription. Choose the method that matches your account setup.
Method 1: cancel through cricut's web account (myaccount.cricut.com)
This is the primary cancellation method if you purchased Cricut Access directly from Cricut.com or signed up within Design Space using your Cricut ID.
- Open your browser and navigate to myaccount.cricut.com.
- Sign in with your Cricut ID (email address) and password.
- Click the person icon (profile menu) in the top-right corner of the page.
- Select "Subscription" or "My Subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
- You will see your active Cricut Access plan listed with the renewal date.
- Locate the subscription you want to cancel and click "Cancel Plan" or "Cancel Subscription".
- Cricut will ask you to confirm the cancellation. Review any final details and click "Confirm Cancellation".
- You will receive an on-screen confirmation and a confirmation email to the address linked to your Cricut account.
What happens next: Your subscription stops renewing immediately, but you retain full access to Cricut Access content until the end of your current billing period. After that date, paid content will no longer be available unless you resubscribe.
Pro tip: Bookmark your Cricut account page and check it 1 week before your renewal date to confirm the cancellation took effect. If you see an unexpected charge, contact Cricut Member Care immediately with your confirmation email as proof.
Method 2: cancel through apple app store
If you subscribed to Cricut Access through the Apple App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you must cancel through Apple's system, not through Cricut's website.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions".
- Find "Cricut Design Space" or "Cricut" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap the subscription and select "Cancel Subscription".
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- Apple will ask if you want to keep your subscription until the end of the current billing cycle or cancel immediately.
- Choose the option that suits you; we recommend cancelling to the end of the period to avoid loss of access.
On Mac: Open the App Store, click your profile icon, select "Subscriptions", find Cricut, and click "Manage" then "Cancel".
Warning: Cancelling a Cricut Access subscription on the web will not automatically cancel the same subscription on Apple App Store if you have both active. Check both platforms to avoid duplicate charges.
Method 3: cancel through google play store
If you subscribed on an Android device through Google Play Store, cancel directly within Google Play.
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Payments and subscriptions".
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Find "Cricut Design Space" or "Cricut" in your active subscriptions.
- Tap the subscription and select "Cancel subscription".
- Follow Google's prompts to confirm.
- Google typically offers a window to change your mind; confirm the cancellation to proceed.
Pro tip: Google Play often shows your cancellation reason in a pop-up survey. Providing feedback (even if optional) helps Google and Cricut understand user needs and may influence future pricing or features.
Cricut access pricing in the UAE and plans available
Understanding your subscription cost helps you evaluate whether cancellation is the right choice and what you're paying for while active.
| Plan | Billing cycle | Cost (AED) | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cricut Access (standard) | Monthly | Approx. 35-45 AED/month | Unlimited fonts, images, projects, online storage, discounts on physical supplies |
| Cricut Access | Annual | Approx. 200-250 AED/year | Same as monthly; better value if committed |
| Cricut Access Premium | Monthly | Approx. 50-60 AED/month | All standard features plus priority support and exclusive seasonal content |
| Cricut Access Premium | Annual | Approx. 300-350 AED/year | Same as monthly premium; best for active users |
| No subscription (free) | One-time | 0 AED | Basic Design Space features, limited library access, no discounts |
| Free trial period | Limited time | 0 AED (then auto-renews) | Full Access features for a limited period, then charges commence |
Note: Exact AED pricing varies by region, promotions, and currency exchange. Check your Cricut account or the UAE App Store for your exact charge. If prices appear inflated or unclear, contact Cricut Member Care for clarification before cancelling.
Stopee recommends comparing your usage against the cost: if you're not actively using the library or projects each month, the subscription is a candidate for cancellation. If you use it frequently but find the cost high, check for annual discounts or promotional rates before you cancel.
Timeline: what happens before, during, and after cancellation
Understanding the cancellation timeline prevents confusion and unwanted charges.
Before you cancel
Check your current billing date and renewal date in your Cricut account. If your renewal is in 1-3 days, consider waiting to cancel after the renewal (if you plan to use the service for that final month) rather than losing access immediately. You'll still stop future renewals.
Export any projects or designs you've created and want to keep. While saved designs remain in your account after cancellation, having a backup ensures you don't lose work if your account experiences an issue.
During cancellation
The cancellation process takes seconds to minutes. You'll receive an instant on-screen confirmation and an email confirmation within minutes. Save both for your records.
After cancellation
Your subscription stops renewing, but you retain access until the end of the current billing period. After that date, Cricut Access content (fonts, images, projects included with the subscription) will no longer be available. Your saved projects remain visible but will show as "requires subscription" for any Access-locked assets.
If you resubscribe later, you regain full access immediately. Your account history and saved work are preserved indefinitely.
Refund policy: will you get your money back?
Cricut's refund stance differs based on when you cancel and your location.
Cricut's stated non-refund policy
Cricut clearly states that all subscription payments-monthly and annual-are non-refundable once the subscription becomes active. The company issues no refunds or credits for partially used periods. This applies to subscriptions purchased on Cricut.com and through Design Space unless local law requires otherwise.
Exception: If you cancel within 14 days of your first purchase (the cooling-off period under UAE law) and haven't fully used the service, you have a statutory right to request a refund. Cricut's policy does not override UAE consumer law.
How to request a refund
If you believe you qualify for a refund-whether under the 14-day cooling-off period or due to an unauthorized charge-follow these steps:
- Contact Cricut Member Care directly via their official website or in-app support chat.
- Explain your situation clearly: the subscription date, amount charged, and your reason (e.g., within cooling-off period, unauthorized charge).
- Provide proof: your Cricut account email, order confirmation, bank statement showing the charge, and the date you first gained access.
- Cite your rights under UAE Consumer Protection Law if Cricut initially declines.
- Use language like: "I am requesting a refund under the 14-day cooling-off period guaranteed by UAE Federal Law No. 24 of 2006 for distance contracts."
- If Cricut refuses to process the refund within 7 days, escalate to the UAE Federal Authority for Consumer Protection with all documentation.
Pro tip: Keep all communications with Cricut in writing (email, chat transcripts, screenshots). Verbal promises to refund are difficult to enforce; written confirmation is essential.
What about app store refunds?
If you purchased Cricut Access through Apple App Store or Google Play, you can request a refund directly from the app store (not from Cricut).
Apple App Store: Go to your account, find the Cricut charge under "Purchases", and select "Report a Problem" or "Request Refund". Apple typically grants refunds for subscriptions cancelled within 48 hours of the first charge, and may grant refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period if you provide the reason.
Google Play: Open your order history, find the Cricut subscription charge, and select "Request refund". Google processes refund requests within 48 hours for most cases.
Stopee advises being honest in your refund reason; app stores are more likely to approve requests citing "charged without authorization" or "service not as described" than generic "I changed my mind" claims.
Common mistakes people make when cancelling
It's easy to trip up during the cancellation process, leaving you with unexpected charges or continued billing. Knowing these pitfalls helps you avoid them.
Mistake 1: cancelling through one platform but not others
If you have active subscriptions on both Cricut.com and the Apple App Store, cancelling one does not cancel the other. You'll receive two separate charges each month. Check all platforms-web account, Apple App Store, and Google Play-before confirming cancellation. Stopee recommends taking screenshots of your cancellation confirmations from each platform.
Mistake 2: assuming the subscription is cancelled immediately
Cancelling does not end your subscription mid-cycle. You keep access until the end of the current billing period, and you will not receive a prorated refund for unused days. If you cancel on day 1 of a 30-day cycle, you've paid for the full month. This is Cricut's policy, and it's standard in the subscription industry.
Mistake 3: not exporting or saving your work before the access ends
After your subscription expires, any projects using Access-only fonts or images will display warnings. While the projects aren't deleted, they become harder to edit. Export designs you want to keep as PDFs or SVG files before your subscription ends.
Mistake 4: ignoring the cooling-off period deadline
The 14-day cooling-off period under UAE law is counted from the date of first access, not purchase. If Cricut grants you a free trial that activates immediately, your 14-day window starts that same day. Missing this deadline means you forfeit your right to a statutory refund, even if the company's policy would normally block refunds. Mark your calendar the moment you first access Cricut Access.
Mistake 5: not following up on a "pending" cancellation
Sometimes Cricut's system experiences delays or glitches, and a cancellation request gets stuck in "pending" status without ever completing. You'll receive a confirmation email, but the subscription continues to renew. If you see a charge after your cancellation date, log back into your account and verify the cancellation went through. If not, try cancelling again and contact Member Care if it fails a second time.
What to do after your subscription ends
Cancelling your Cricut Access subscription is just the beginning. Here's what happens to your account, data, and access.
Your account and saved work remain intact
After cancellation, your Cricut account does not disappear. All your saved projects, designs, and account history stay in place indefinitely. You can still log in and view your work; you simply lose access to premium content tied to the subscription.
Access-locked content becomes unavailable
Any fonts, images, or projects that came with Cricut Access will show as "locked" or "requires subscription" in Design Space. You won't be able to use them until you resubscribe or purchase individual assets separately. Projects you created using these assets will still exist, but editing will be limited.
Free design space features remain available
Even without a subscription, you keep access to Cricut Design Space's free tier. You can upload your own images, use basic tools, and create designs using free assets. This is a good reason not to delete your account entirely if you think you might use Cricut casually in the future.
Resubscribing is instant and easy
If you cancel and later decide you want Cricut Access again, you can resubscribe instantly from your account page or through Design Space. Your old projects regain full access immediately. Cricut often offers promotional rates to returning subscribers, so check for discounts before resubscribing.

Why consumers cancel cricut access and when to keep it
Not everyone should cancel. Here's a comparison to help you decide whether Cricut Access fits your needs and budget.
| Reason to keep Cricut Access | Reason to cancel Cricut Access |
|---|---|
| You use Design Space weekly or more often | You haven't opened the app in 2+ months |
| You regularly use the font and image library | You upload your own designs and rarely use Cricut content |
| The subscription cost is under 5% of your monthly budget | The subscription cost feels high or stretched your budget |
| You value the discounts on physical supplies and materials | You don't purchase supplies or materials often |
| You create projects professionally or as a regular hobby | You're testing Cricut and haven't committed to the hobby yet |
| The annual plan cost is significantly lower than monthly renewals | You're on a monthly plan and only use it occasionally |
Stopee's advice: track your Design Space usage for one full month. If you log in fewer than 4 times and create fewer than 2 projects, cancellation is probably the right choice. You can always resubscribe later.
