Manage V-Ray

How to cancel V-Ray subscription in india and protect your rights

What is V-Ray and why you might want to cancel

V-Ray is a professional rendering software trusted by architects, designers, and visual effects artists across India and globally. It integrates with major 3D modelling platforms like 3ds Max, Maya, SketchUp, Rhino, and Revit to produce photorealistic images and animations. If you've subscribed to V-Ray but no longer need it, or if you want to switch to a different rendering solution, you deserve a straightforward path to cancellation.

At Stopee, we understand that professional software subscriptions represent real investment in your toolkit. Whether V-Ray no longer fits your workflow, your project has concluded, or budget constraints require you to reassess your subscriptions, we're here to guide you through cancellation step by step.

When cancellation makes sense

You might consider canceling V-Ray if you've completed a project, switched to alternative rendering software, or found that the subscription cost no longer aligns with your usage. Some professionals also cancel during business downturns and reactivate later. Whatever your reason, you have clear rights under Indian consumer protection law to cancel within specified timeframes and request refunds on eligible purchases.

What happens to your data after cancellation

Cancelling V-Ray stops automatic renewal but keeps your account data, invoices, and project settings available in your Chaos account until the current billing cycle ends. You retain access to the software until your paid subscription period expires. Any cloud credits or trial features expire according to their own terms.

Your consumer rights under indian law

India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019 protects your right to cancel subscriptions and claim refunds on specific grounds.

Refund eligibility in india

You can request a refund within 14 days of a new subscription purchase if the charge was not a renewal. This aligns with the Consumer Protection Act's cooling-off period for distance contracts. Subscription renewals and trial-to-paid conversions fall outside this standard refund window, but you can still escalate if the company breached its contract terms or engaged in misleading marketing.

Your escalation rights if V-Ray refuses

If V-Ray (operated by Chaos Group) or an authorized reseller refuses a legitimate refund request, you can file a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) or your state's Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Stopee recommends documenting all communications-emails, screenshots, transaction references-before escalating. The CCPA handles cases involving unfair contract terms or defective goods/services; if you purchased through a reseller, you can also approach that reseller's state consumer body.

How to cancel V-Ray across different platforms

Your cancellation method depends on where and how you purchased V-Ray: directly via Chaos account, through app stores, or via an authorized reseller.

Cancel V-Ray via your chaos account (direct purchase)

Most users who buy directly from Chaos Group can cancel through their web account in minutes.

1. Visit the official Chaos Group website and log into your Chaos account using your registered email and password.
   • If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link to reset it.
   • If you don't recall your email address, contact Chaos support before proceeding.
2. Navigate to "My Products" or "Subscriptions" (labeling may vary slightly).
   • You'll see a list of all active and past subscriptions linked to your account.
3. Locate the V-Ray subscription you wish to cancel and click on it to open its details.
   • Confirm it's the correct plan (Solo, Premium, or vendor variation) and billing cycle.
4. Click the "Cancel" or "Cancel subscription" button.
   • Chaos may prompt you with a brief survey; completing it is optional.
   • Some accounts show a "Cancel auto-renewal" option; select this to stop future charges.
5. Confirm the cancellation on the next screen.
   • Important: Cancellation stops auto-renewal but does NOT immediately suspend access. You retain full software access until the end of your current billing period.
6. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within 5-10 minutes.
   • Save this email for your records; it serves as proof of cancellation if a charge appears later.

Pro tip: Check your "Billing" or "Invoices" section in the Chaos account first. For some new subscriptions, you can initiate a refund directly before contacting support, saving you time.

Cancel V-Ray purchased through the apple app store

If you subscribed via an iOS app, Apple's App Store manages your subscription, not Chaos Group directly.

1. Open the Apple App Store on your iOS device (iPhone or iPad).
   • Do NOT open the V-Ray app itself; you must use the App Store.
2. Tap your profile icon (top-right corner) and select "Manage subscriptions."
   • This shows all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
3. Find V-Ray in the list and tap it.
   • If you see multiple entries (e.g., V-Ray and V-Ray for different integrations), confirm you're canceling the correct one.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Edit subscription" and choose "Cancel."
   • Apple will ask you to confirm; some offers may appear-you can decline these.
5. Verify the cancellation message on screen and check your email for Apple's confirmation receipt.
   • Your subscription remains active until the current billing cycle ends.

Warning: App Store refunds are governed by Apple's policies, not Chaos Group's. If your purchase is older than 14-15 days, Apple may deny the refund even if Chaos would approve it. Request refunds promptly.

Cancel V-Ray purchased through google play

Android users who subscribed via Google Play follow a similar but distinct process.

1. Open Google Play Store on your Android device.
   • Tap your profile icon (top-right) and select "Manage your Google Account."
2. Go to the "Payments and subscriptions" tab and tap "Manage subscriptions."
   • You'll see all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
3. Select V-Ray from the list.
   • Verify the plan name, renewal date, and billing amount before proceeding.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm on the next prompt.
   • Google may display retention offers; you can skip these.
5. Wait for a confirmation email from Google Play within 1-2 hours.
   • Keep this email as proof of cancellation.

Pro tip: Google Play's refund window is typically 48 hours from purchase for some subscriptions, but 14 days for others. Check your email receipt for the exact refund deadline listed by Google.

Cancel V-Ray purchased through an authorized reseller in india

If you bought V-Ray from a local reseller such as Dolphin Computers, PI Software, or another authorized distributor, your cancellation and refund terms may differ from direct Chaos Group purchases.

1. Locate the original purchase email or invoice from the reseller.
   • Note the reseller's name, order number, and purchase date.
   • Verify whether the price includes GST or is exclusive (common variation in India).
2. Contact the reseller's customer support directly-do NOT contact Chaos Group first.
   • Use the phone number, email, or contact form listed on the reseller's website.
   • Example: Dolphin Computers (Delhi), PI Software (Bangalore), or other regional distributors.
3. Provide your order number and request cancellation and refund eligibility.
   • Resellers often have faster refund processing than Chaos Group because they manage local relationships.
   • State clearly: "I wish to cancel my V-Ray subscription and request a refund if within 14 days of purchase."
4. Ask the reseller for written confirmation of cancellation and any refund status.
   • Request an email confirmation you can retain.
5. If the reseller delays or refuses, escalate to the state Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission with your proof of purchase.
   • Resellers are bound by the same Consumer Protection Act as direct sellers.

Warning: Reseller refund policies can be stricter than Chaos Group's. Some resellers impose 7-day refund windows instead of 14 days. Confirm the policy before purchasing, and act immediately if you need to cancel.

V-Ray subscription plans and pricing in india

Understanding your plan and its cost helps you assess whether cancellation makes financial sense or if upgrading/downgrading is a better choice.

Note: Prices vary by reseller and include or exclude GST-confirm the final total before purchase. Festive sale prices are time-limited; regular pricing typically runs ₹5,000-15,000 higher depending on the plan and vendor.

Will you get a refund after canceling V-Ray

Refund eligibility depends on when you purchased, whether it was a new subscription or renewal, and whether you bought directly from Chaos or a reseller.

New subscription refunds (within 14 days)

You're eligible for a full refund if all of the following apply: the purchase was a new subscription (not a renewal), the request is made within 14 days of the charge date, and the charge appears in your Chaos account or payment statement. Stopee advises checking your Chaos account's "Billing" or "Invoices" section first, as some refunds can be initiated without contacting support.

1. Log into your Chaos account and go to "Billing" or "Invoices."
   • Find the V-Ray charge you wish to refund.
2. Click on the charge to view options; some allow "Request refund" directly.
   • If this option appears, click it and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the refund request.
   • Chaos typically processes these within 5-7 business days.
3. If no self-service refund option is visible, contact Chaos support with your order number and refund reason.
   • Email: typically support@chaos.com or a support form on the Chaos website.
   • Be direct: "I purchased V-Ray on [date]. I wish to cancel and request a refund within the 14-day window."
4. Provide proof: invoice, payment statement, and order confirmation email.
   • Response times vary; expect 3-10 business days for approval.

Renewal and trial-to-paid refunds

Subscription renewals (automatic annual charges) and conversions from trial to paid plans are typically non-refundable under standard Chaos Group terms. However, you can still escalate if you believe the renewal occurred without consent, the charge was unauthorized, or the company failed to honor its cancellation promise. Document the issue and contact Chaos support with this context; they may approve a refund as a courtesy or in response to regulatory pressure.

Refunds for app store and reseller purchases

If you bought through Apple App Store or Google Play, the app store's refund policy governs, not Chaos Group's. Apple allows refunds up to 15 days; Google Play's window is typically 48 hours to 14 days. Reseller refunds follow the reseller's stated policy, which may be stricter. Contact the reseller first before approaching Chaos Group.

Pro tip: If Chaos or a reseller denies your refund, file a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority or your state's Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Include screenshots of the purchase, cancellation request, denial email, and your contract terms. The CCPA has authority to order refunds if it finds unfair practices.

What happens after you cancel V-Ray

Cancellation is a transition, not an immediate shutdown. Understanding the timeline helps you plan your workflow and avoid surprise charges.

Access during the paid period

Your V-Ray subscription remains fully active until the end of the current billing cycle, even after you cancel. If you cancel on day 1 of a 365-day annual subscription, you retain access for the remaining 364 days. This grace period allows you to finish projects without interruption and ensures you receive the full service you paid for. Your license key and activation remain valid; you can continue rendering and exporting files as normal.

Access after the billing cycle ends

Once your billing cycle expires, your V-Ray license becomes inactive. You can no longer launch the software with an active license; attempts to render or activate features will fail. Your Chaos account and project data remain stored in the cloud for 90-180 days (depending on Chaos policy), so you can download project files and archives if needed. After that retention period, your data may be deleted unless you export it earlier.

Cloud credits and add-ons

Any Cloud credits bundled with your subscription (e.g., the 20 credits in Premium plans) expire per their own terms, which may differ from your subscription end date. Check your Chaos account for the exact expiration date of cloud credits before your subscription ends, and use them for rendering tasks if you plan to continue work. Unused credits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Common mistakes to avoid when canceling V-Ray

Cancellation can feel stressful, especially if you're unsure of your rights or facing pressure from a reseller. We've seen these mistakes derail refunds and create unnecessary disputes.

Canceling only in-app without confirming account-level cancellation

If you delete the V-Ray software or uninstall the app, you may think you've canceled the subscription. You haven't. Only stopping the subscription in your Chaos account, Apple App Store, Google Play, or reseller account actually halts auto-renewal. The app deletion is a separate step. Always log into your account (not the app) and explicitly cancel the subscription to be certain.

Missing the 14-day refund window

Fourteen days passes quickly. If you've purchased V-Ray and want a refund, act within 14 days of the charge date, not 14 days from today. Check your invoice for the exact charge date, count forward 14 calendar days, and submit your refund request before that deadline. Stopee has seen countless users miss refunds by days because they didn't calculate the window correctly.

Requesting refunds for renewals without evidence of breach

Renewals are typically non-refundable. If you request a refund for an automatic annual renewal and Chaos denies it, that denial is often justified under their contract. However, if you canceled before the renewal occurred and the charge appeared anyway, that's a breach. Document everything: your cancellation request, the cancellation confirmation email, the renewal charge that followed, and the timeline. This evidence shifts the burden to Chaos to explain why the charge occurred.

Not keeping proof of cancellation

Cancellation confirmation emails are your legal proof. If a support agent denies your cancellation later, or if a charge reappears, this email is your shield. Forward it to your email's archive or print a screenshot. Some users delete this email and later struggle to prove they canceled, especially when pursuing refunds through consumer commissions.

Assuming reseller and chaos policies are identical

They're often not. Resellers impose their own cancellation and refund terms, which may be stricter. Always check the reseller's policy before purchase, not after. If you bought through Dolphin Computers or PI Software but assumed Chaos Group's 14-day refund window applied, you may be disappointed.

When to cancel vs. when to downgrade V-Ray

Cancellation is one option, but downgrading might better suit your situation.

Contact Chaos support if you want to explore downgrading. Sometimes they'll allow mid-cycle plan changes with pro-rata credits, saving you from a full cancellation and reactivation cycle. Stopee advises asking about this option before canceling permanently.
