How to cancel Clickasnap and stop renewal charges in malaysia

What is Clickasnap and why users cancel

Clickasnap is a photo-sharing platform where you upload images, build a portfolio, and earn from views and licensing deals. The service runs on a freemium model with paid membership tiers that renew automatically every month or year unless you cancel properly. Many Malaysian users sign up for the 30-day free trial on the annual Pro plan, then forget to cancel before the automatic charge hits their card.

The company is operated by CAM LIMITED, registered in Guernsey, with UK law governing the terms of service. If you are cancelling, you are probably frustrated because the cancellation steps are buried in the account settings, or you are worried about being charged again. Stopee understands this frustration, and that is why we have mapped out the exact cancellation path for you.

Common reasons malaysian users cancel Clickasnap

Most cancellations happen because users discover the platform does not generate meaningful income, the renewal charge surprises them, or they simply do not use the service enough to justify the subscription. Others cancel after the free trial period ends and they realise the Pro features do not meet their expectations. Many users also switch to competing platforms or stop their photography projects altogether.

What Clickasnap charges in malaysia

Clickasnap publishes pricing in USD, and the conversion to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) matters when you are planning your cancellation timeline. Using the standard conversion rate of 1 USD to approximately 4.72 MYR, here is what you would pay if you keep your subscription active.

The free trial trap is real. If you sign up for the annual Pro trial and do not cancel within 30 days, Clickasnap charges you the full RM330 automatically. Stopee recommends setting a phone reminder for day 25 if you are testing the platform.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Clickasnap in malaysia

Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 gives you specific rights when dealing with subscription services and distance contracts. Understanding these rights empowers you to cancel confidently and challenge unfair practices.

What the consumer protection act 1999 says about cancellation

Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (which includes online subscriptions) within 10 days of entering the agreement, provided you have not downloaded or consumed the service. However, this 10-day cooling-off period does not apply if you have already used the service, so act quickly if you regret your purchase.

The Act also requires traders to provide clear cancellation instructions and refund terms before you subscribe. If Clickasnap fails to make the cancellation process obvious, or if you are charged after cancellation, you can lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism (KPDNKK), which is Malaysia's consumer protection authority.

What to do if Clickasnap charges you after cancellation

If you cancel Clickasnap but are still charged, document everything first. Save screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, your bank or credit card statement showing the unauthorised charge, and any emails from Clickasnap support. Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and request a chargeback or reversal. Most financial institutions in Malaysia have dispute resolution teams and will investigate within 30 days.

Next, email Clickasnap support at [email protected] with all evidence attached and request an immediate refund. If Clickasnap does not respond within 14 days, escalate to KPDNKK by filing a complaint online or at their office. Stopee has seen KPDNKK resolve many cases where companies refused to process legitimate cancellations and refunds.

How to cancel Clickasnap on the web

The web cancellation path is the most direct method if you subscribed directly through Clickasnap.com. Follow these exact steps to avoid confusion.

Step-by-step web cancellation

1. Log in to your Clickasnap account on clickasnap.com with your email and password
   • If you forgot your password, click "Forgot password?" and reset it before proceeding
   • Make sure you are on the official Clickasnap website, not a phishing copy
2. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account settings"
   • Some versions may show "Settings" or a gear icon instead
   • Do not click "Logout" or you will lose your session
3. In the left sidebar or menu, find and click "Membership"
   • You should see your current plan name and next billing date here
   • Screenshot this page as proof before you continue
4. Look for the button that says "Manage plan" or "Manage subscription" and click it
   • This button may also appear as "View plan details" or "Subscription options"
5. On the next screen, scroll down and click "Cancel plan" or "Cancel subscription"
   • Clickasnap may ask you "Why are you leaving?" - you can skip this or provide feedback
   • Do not close the browser tab before clicking confirm
6. Look for a final confirmation screen that says "Your plan has been cancelled" or similar language
   • Screenshot this confirmation page immediately
   • Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for a cancellation confirmation email from Clickasnap
   • Save that email or take another screenshot
7. Log out and log back in to confirm your membership has been downgraded to free
   • Your account settings should now show "Free" or "No active subscription"
   • If you still see a paid plan, the cancellation did not go through - repeat steps 2 to 6

Warning: Do not assume the cancellation is complete just because you saw a screen. Stopee has documented cases where users thought they had cancelled but were charged again because the system did not process their request. Always verify by logging back in and checking your membership status.

If you subscribed through the app store

If you downloaded Clickasnap from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and subscribed within the app, you must cancel through that same app store, not through Clickasnap's website. This is because Apple and Google manage the billing, not Clickasnap directly.

For Apple App Store (iPhone or iPad): Open the Settings app on your device, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions," find Clickasnap in the list, tap it, and choose "Cancel subscription." You will see a confirmation screen immediately.

For Google Play Store (Android): Open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon in the top right, select "Payments and subscriptions," choose "Subscriptions," find Clickasnap, and tap "Cancel subscription." You will be asked to confirm the cancellation reason.

Pro tip: After cancelling through the app store, wait a few hours, then log in to Clickasnap on the web to confirm your paid membership has been removed. If it has not, contact Clickasnap support with proof of the app store cancellation.

How to cancel Clickasnap by email

If the web cancellation does not work or you prefer written proof of your cancellation request, you can cancel by email. Clickasnap's terms of service state that email cancellation is a valid method.

The email cancellation process

1. Compose a new email to [email protected]
   • Use the email address registered with your Clickasnap account
   • Do not use a different email or the request may be rejected
2. In the subject line, write: "Cancellation Request - [Your Clickasnap username]"
   • Replace [Your Clickasnap username] with your actual Clickasnap login name
3. In the email body, write a clear cancellation request
   • Include your full name, account email, and Clickasnap username
   • State your next billing date if you know it
   • Write: "Please cancel my paid subscription immediately and downgrade my account to free status"
   • Do not ask questions or add extra requests - keep it simple
4. Before sending, attach or reference evidence
   • Screenshot your current membership page showing your plan and next billing date
   • Attach it to the email as a JPEG or PNG file
5. Send the email and check your inbox immediately for an automated reply
   • Most companies respond with an automated message confirming receipt
   • Save this reply as proof
6. Wait for a human response within 3 to 5 working days
   • If you receive no response within 7 days, send a follow-up email and note that you sent the original request
   • If still no response within 14 days, escalate to KPDNKK with copies of all emails
7. When cancellation is confirmed by email, screenshot the confirmation and save it permanently
   • Log in to Clickasnap on the web to verify your membership status has changed to free
   • If it has not changed within 24 hours, send another email to [email protected]

Pro tip: Stopee recommends sending your cancellation email on a Monday morning (Malaysian time) so that the Guernsey support team receives it during their working hours. Email sent on Friday afternoon may not be processed until the following Tuesday.

Timeline and what happens after cancellation

Understanding the cancellation timeline helps you plan your finances and avoid accidental re-subscription.

What happens immediately after you cancel

Once your cancellation is confirmed, Clickasnap immediately downgrades your account to the free tier. You lose access to premium features like advanced upload limits and pro visibility options. However, your photos remain on the platform and you can still view and manage them as a free user.

Your next billing date is removed from your account. You will not be charged again unless you manually upgrade to a paid plan in the future. Stopee advises checking your membership page once a week for the first month after cancellation to make sure no new charge appears.

What happens to your account and photos

Your account stays active but in free status. You can log in anytime and download your photos. Clickasnap's terms state that content and account records may be retained for legal, accounting, fraud prevention, licensing, payout, or dispute purposes even after you cancel. This does not mean your account stays visible to others - it just means Clickasnap keeps records for their own compliance.

If you want to delete your account entirely (not just cancel the subscription), contact [email protected] and request "full account deletion." This is different from subscription cancellation and may take longer to process.

Refund eligibility in malaysia

Clickasnap does not advertise a refund policy on their website, but Malaysian consumer law requires that refunds be offered in certain situations. If you cancel within 10 days of purchase (the cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act 1999) and you have not significantly used the service, you have a legal right to request a refund.

If you cancel after the 10-day period but before your first renewal charge, Clickasnap is not legally obligated to refund, but you should not be charged for the subscription you did not use. If you are charged and then cancel, request a refund immediately citing the Consumer Protection Act 1999.

For annual subscriptions, if you cancel within the first 30 days and your annual plan has not yet renewed, ask Clickasnap to refund the pro-rata amount. Use this formula: (Days remaining in the year / 365) × Total annual price = Your pro-rata refund. Stopee has seen this argument succeed with several SaaS companies when presented clearly to their financial team.

Common mistakes that prevent successful cancellation

Cancellation failures often happen because users skip small but critical steps. Learning these mistakes now saves you stress later.

Mistake 1: using the wrong account email

If you subscribed with one email but try to cancel from a different email address, Clickasnap's system cannot find your account. Always log in with the exact email address you used when you signed up. If you no longer have access to that email, contact Clickasnap support and request an email change before you cancel.

Mistake 2: cancelling on the app but expecting the web to show it immediately

If you subscribed through the app store, you must cancel through the app store, not the Clickasnap website. The two systems do not sync instantly. It can take 12 to 24 hours for the app store cancellation to reflect on the Clickasnap web account. Do not assume cancellation failed just because the website still shows your paid status on the same day.

Mistake 3: not saving cancellation proof

Screenshots are your legal evidence. If Clickasnap charges you after cancellation and you dispute it, your bank will ask for proof that you cancelled. If you have no screenshot, your dispute may be rejected. Screenshot the confirmation screen, the confirmation email, and your account settings showing "Free" status.

Mistake 4: confusing "free trial cancellation" with "subscription cancellation"

Some users cancel their free trial but think they have also cancelled the automatic renewal. Cancelling the trial only stops the trial - if you do not cancel the subscription separately, you will be charged when the trial ends. Always complete both steps: first cancel the trial, then cancel the paid plan.

Mistake 5: assuming the page closing means the cancellation went through

Just because you clicked "Cancel" and the page changed does not mean the cancellation was processed. Always wait for a confirmation message on screen and a confirmation email. Log back in 30 minutes later to verify. Stopee has tracked user complaints where people thought they cancelled but were still charged because the system error silently failed to process their request.

Steps to take if Clickasnap does not cancel your subscription

If cancellation fails or customer service ignores your requests, you have escalation options in Malaysia.

Step 1: request written confirmation of refusal

Email [email protected] again and write: "My previous cancellation request was not processed. Please confirm in writing whether you are refusing to cancel my subscription and the reason why." This forces Clickasnap to provide a documented response, which strengthens your complaint later.

Step 2: use the phone line as a backup

Clickasnap's listed phone number is +44 800 999 4938 (UK number, Guernsey-based). Call and explain your situation. Keep a note of the date, time, and name of the person who helped you. Ask them to send a follow-up email confirming what they told you verbally.

Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank

If Clickasnap refuses to cancel and your bank allows it, file a chargeback or dispute the charge. Provide your bank with all evidence: cancellation requests, screenshots, confirmation attempts, and customer service responses. Malaysian banks typically investigate chargebacks within 30 days.

Step 4: escalate to malaysia's consumer authority

File a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism (KPDNKK) at https://www.kpdnkk.gov.my or visit your nearest KPDNKK office. Include copies of all emails, screenshots, and proof of charges. KPDNKK can issue a directive to Clickasnap to refund you or face penalties.
