Cancel Shaw Academy: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel shaw academy and reclaim your fees under indian consumer law
Understanding shaw academy and how it charges you
Shaw Academy is an online learning platform that sells access to live and recorded courses in business, design, technology, and creative skills through a subscription membership model. You pay a recurring fee-typically monthly, quarterly, or annual-and the platform automatically renews your subscription unless you cancel it.
The service operates on auto-renewal, which means your payment method is charged automatically at the end of each billing cycle. Beyond the core subscription, Shaw Academy also offers optional purchases: course certificates, downloadable materials, and assignment retakes, all sold separately.
Why auto-renewal matters to you
Auto-renewal is how Shaw Academy keeps you enrolled and charged without requiring you to take action. This is legal in India, but consumer protection law demands that Shaw Academy make cancellation just as easy as signing up. Many users don't realise their subscription renews until they check their bank statement weeks later.
What you're actually paying for
Your subscription fee covers access to live classes and recordings you've already attended. Once you cancel, you lose access to future live sessions, but you retain recordings of classes you completed while your membership was active. Certificates, course materials, and retake fees are separate charges and do not roll into your subscription cost.
Your consumer rights in india and why they matter
Indian consumer protection law gives you powerful rights when dealing with online subscriptions, and Stopee has helped thousands of consumers understand these rights and use them to recover money.
The cooling-off period and your right to cancel
Under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and the e-commerce rules, you have a cooling-off period of 7 to 14 days to cancel a digital service subscription and request a refund. This period applies even if Shaw Academy's terms claim otherwise. You do not need a reason; you do not need permission. The law gives you this right automatically.
If you cancel within this cooling-off window, Shaw Academy should refund your fees in full. If the platform refuses, you can escalate to your state consumer commission or file a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority.
Protection against unfair terms
Shaw Academy's stated policy says subscriptions are "not eligible for refunds or credits." This blanket no-refund clause may violate the Consumer Protection Act 2019, which prohibits unfair contract terms. An unfair term is one that creates an imbalance between your rights and the company's rights, especially if it's hidden or unclear.
If you believe the cancellation or refund process is deliberately difficult, the pricing was unclear, or the service failed to deliver what was promised, you have grounds to challenge Shaw Academy's refusal to refund. Stopee recommends documenting every step and keeping screenshots of the subscription terms you saw when you signed up.
How to cancel shaw academy in three methods
Your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed. Below are the three main paths; follow the one that matches your account.
Method 1: cancel through the shaw academy website
This is the primary cancellation method if you signed up directly on Shaw Academy's website and pay via their payment system.
- Log in to your Shaw Academy account using your email and password.
- Navigate to your Profile or Account Settings (usually in the top-right menu).
- Look for the Membership, Payments, or Subscriptions tab.
- Click the option that says "Cancel Membership" or "Cancel Subscription."
- Read any retention offers carefully (pause, downgrade, discounts). You may be offered these options before final cancellation.
- A "pause" temporarily stops charges without cancelling; use this only if you plan to return within weeks.
- A "downgrade" moves you to a cheaper plan; use this only if you want to stay but spend less.
- If you want to cancel completely, do not accept these offers-proceed to final cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation by following the on-screen prompts. Shaw Academy may ask why you're leaving; provide honest feedback if you wish, but this is optional.
- You should receive a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours. Save this email as proof.
Pro tip: Cancellation via the website is the cleanest method because it creates a timestamped record on Shaw Academy's system. Always take a screenshot of the confirmation page before closing your browser.
Method 2: cancel if you subscribed via apple app store
If you signed up for Shaw Academy through the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's subscription system, not through Shaw Academy's website.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Shaw Academy in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription or Turn Off Auto-Renew (the exact wording depends on your iOS version).
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
Warning: Do not cancel your Shaw Academy account on the website if you subscribed via Apple. Apple controls the auto-renewal, not Shaw Academy. Cancelling only on the Shaw Academy website will not stop Apple from charging you. You must cancel within the Apple ecosystem.
Method 3: cancel if you subscribed via google play
If you signed up through the Shaw Academy app on Android or via Google Play, follow this path.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Tap Manage Your Subscriptions or Subscriptions (wording varies).
- Tap Shaw Academy.
- Tap Cancel Subscription or Unsubscribe.
- Confirm when prompted.
Pro tip: Google Play will show you the exact date your last charge occurred and when your next renewal is scheduled. Note this date in case you need to request a refund later.
What happens after you cancel shaw academy
Cancellation is not the same as deletion, and understanding what changes after you cancel will help you avoid surprises.
Your access to course content
Once you cancel, Shaw Academy stops scheduling new live classes for you and prevents any future subscription renewals. However, you retain indefinite access to recordings of live classes you attended while your subscription was active. You do not lose this content immediately after cancellation; it remains in your account indefinitely (or until Shaw Academy changes its policy).
Any optional purchases you made-certificates, course materials, assignment retakes-are also retained if they were already paid for. You keep what you bought; you just cannot access new live classes or future materials.
Your account and payment information
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically delete your account. Your login credentials remain valid, and your personal information (name, email, learning history) stays on Shaw Academy's servers according to their privacy policy.
Cancellation also does not automatically remove saved payment methods (credit cards, debit cards, UPI, wallets) from your account. Log back in after cancellation and visit your Payment or Billing settings to delete any stored cards if you wish. This is especially important if you no longer trust the platform.
Communication and account reminders
Shaw Academy may continue to send you promotional emails after cancellation. You can unsubscribe from these using the link at the bottom of any marketing email, or you can log in and adjust your communication preferences in your account settings.
Will shaw academy refund your money
Stopee has analysed Shaw Academy's refund policy in detail, and what the platform says versus what Indian law requires are often two different things.
Shaw academy's stated no-refund policy
Shaw Academy's terms state explicitly: subscriptions are not eligible for refunds or credits, whether monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, annual, or promotional. This applies to partial membership periods and individual lessons. The platform also refuses refunds for optional add-ons (certificates, course materials, assignment retakes) unless "just cause" exists.
"Just cause," according to Shaw Academy, is limited to scenarios like incorrect pricing or incorrect content. The platform decides what qualifies; most consumer complaints do not meet this threshold.
What indian law actually says about refunds
Shaw Academy's blanket no-refund policy conflicts with your legal rights. Under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and the e-commerce (Protection of Consumers from Unfair Trade Practices) Rules 2020, you have a right to cancel digital service subscriptions within 7 to 14 days and receive a full refund, regardless of what the company's terms say.
The law also allows you to request a refund beyond the cooling-off period if the service failed to meet its description, was misleading, charged you incorrectly, or caused you unfair detriment. This is called a "defect claim," and it overrides any no-refund clause in Shaw Academy's terms.
How to request a refund from shaw academy
If you believe you qualify for a refund, contact Shaw Academy's support team through your account messaging or support email (usually support@shawacademy.com or a similar address). State your reason clearly: you cancelled within the cooling-off period, or the service failed to meet the advertised standard.
Shaw Academy may reject your refund request. If it does, Stopee recommends filing a formal complaint with your state consumer commission or the Central Consumer Protection Authority. Include screenshots of your subscription terms, proof of payment, your cancellation confirmation, and a timeline of your communication with Shaw Academy. The consumer authority will assess your claim and can order Shaw Academy to refund you, even if the company refused.
Shaw academy pricing and plans in india
Shaw Academy does not publicly display current pricing in Indian rupees for 2024-2025, which is another red flag that Stopee highlights for transparency-conscious consumers.
Available plan types
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Current price (INR) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard subscription | Monthly, quarterly, annual | Contact Shaw Academy or check your app store listing |
| Promotional bundle | Limited time offers | Varies; often advertised via email or social media |
| Course certificates (optional add-on) | One-time purchase | Contact Shaw Academy |
| Course materials (optional add-on) | One-time purchase | Contact Shaw Academy |
| Assignment retakes (optional add-on) | One-time purchase | Contact Shaw Academy |
Where to find your exact price
To see what Shaw Academy charges, check your app store subscription page (Apple Settings or Google Play), log into your account and check your billing history, or contact Shaw Academy support directly. Do not rely on old promotions or third-party reseller offers; pricing changes frequently, and you need to know what you're actually paying.
Common mistakes when cancelling shaw academy
Many users believe they've cancelled only to be charged again weeks later. These preventable errors cost time and money.
Mistake 1: cancelling only on the website if you subscribed via app store
This is the most common and costly error. If you signed up through Apple App Store or Google Play, Shaw Academy's website cancellation does nothing. You must cancel within the app store itself. Even if you've cancelled on the website, Apple or Google will continue charging you. Stopee sees this happen dozens of times per week. Always verify where you subscribed before cancelling.
Mistake 2: confusing pause with cancellation
If Shaw Academy offers you a pause option during cancellation, understand what it means: your charges pause for a set period (usually 30 days), then automatically resume. If you pause by accident, you'll be charged again without warning. If you want to cancel permanently, reject the pause option and proceed to full cancellation.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
Shaw Academy sends a cancellation confirmation email, but it's easy to miss or delete. Save this email to your cancellation folder or take a screenshot. If Shaw Academy charges you again and claims you never cancelled, this email is your proof. Stopee recommends keeping cancellation confirmations for at least 6 months.
Mistake 4: assuming account deletion means cancelled subscription
Deleting your Shaw Academy account is not the same as cancelling your subscription. If you delete your account but your subscription is still active, you'll still be charged. Always cancel your subscription first, wait for confirmation, and then request account deletion if you wish.
Checklist: before and after you cancel
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel cleanly and protect yourself if disputes arise.
| Task | Before cancellation | After cancellation |
|---|---|---|
| Identify where you subscribed | Check your bank statement or payment method to confirm if you subscribed via Shaw Academy website, Apple App Store, or Google Play | N/A |
| Download course materials | If you want to keep course notes or recordings, download them before you cancel (access may be revoked after cancellation) | Verify that you have all materials saved locally |
| Note your next renewal date | Log into your app store or Shaw Academy account and record when your next charge is scheduled | Verify this date has passed without a charge within 7-14 days |
| Complete the cancellation | Follow the steps for your subscription method (website, Apple, or Google Play) | Receive confirmation email; save it immediately |
| Monitor your bank account | N/A | Check for unauthorized charges 7, 14, and 30 days after cancellation. If Shaw Academy charges you, file a chargeback with your bank immediately |
| Remove saved payment methods | N/A | Log into your Shaw Academy account and delete any stored credit cards, debit cards, or UPI from your payment settings |

Why you might want to cancel shaw academy
Before you cancel, reflect on whether Shaw Academy is the right fit. However, if any of these reasons apply to you, cancellation is your best option.
You might cancel because you've completed the courses you wanted, the live class schedule no longer suits your time zone or availability, the course content does not match the course description, Shaw Academy has raised prices without notice, technical issues prevent you from accessing the material, or you've found a competitor that offers better value.
Cancellation is quick, and Stopee always recommends cancelling rather than staying enrolled out of guilt or inertia. Your money is yours; spend it only on services that genuinely help you.
Final steps and next steps
Cancelling Shaw Academy takes 10 minutes. Protecting yourself after cancellation takes 5 more. Save your confirmation email, monitor your next billing date, and remove your payment method from your account.
If Shaw Academy charges you after cancellation or refuses a refund you're entitled to, you have legal remedies. The Consumer Protection Act 2019 is on your side. File a complaint with your state consumer commission or the Central Consumer Protection Authority, and Stopee recommends keeping all emails and screenshots as evidence.
Stopee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions and recover refunds by understanding their rights and following a simple, documented process. Use the checklist above, follow the cancellation steps for your subscription method, and know that you can challenge any unjust refund denial. Your money, your choice, your power.
