Cancel Output Arcade: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel output arcade in nigeria and protect your money
What output arcade is and why you might need to cancel
Output Arcade is a subscription-based music production plugin that gives you instant access to a library of professionally designed loops, instruments, and audio effects. Whether you use it as a standalone app or integrate it into your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), the service streams fresh content regularly to help you build musical ideas faster.
You might be considering cancellation for several reasons: the subscription no longer fits your workflow, budget constraints, or you've found alternative tools that work better for your needs. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through the process step-by-step and ensure you understand your rights as a Nigerian consumer.
How output arcade works
When you subscribe, you gain immediate access to thousands of playable loops, sampled instruments, and production effects that update regularly. You use these sounds within your music projects by launching the plugin or app during your production sessions. The moment your subscription ends, those Arcade-specific assets become inaccessible, though any audio you exported or recorded during your subscription remains yours.
Common reasons for cancellation
Musicians and producers in Nigeria cancel Output Arcade because they want to reduce monthly expenses, experiment with competing tools like Loopmasters or Splice, or they find the library doesn't match their genre or production style. Some users also pause their subscription temporarily after completing a project and decide not to renew. Understanding your situation helps Stopee provide the most relevant guidance for your cancellation.
Output arcade pricing and billing in nigeria
Output displays pricing in USD on their main website, but when you check out, your actual charge depends on your payment method and your bank's real-time currency conversion rate. This means Nigerian users typically pay in NGN (Nigerian Naira) or via a payment provider like Paystack, 2Checkout, or your credit card issuer's exchange rate.
Subscription plans and costs
| Plan | Billing cycle | Refund policy |
|---|---|---|
| Arcade Monthly | Renews every 30 days | Non-refundable; cancel before renewal date |
| Arcade Annual | Renews every 12 months | Refundable within first 30 days only |
| Perpetual plugins or bundles | One-time purchase | Refundable within 14 days of purchase |
Check your Output account at account.output.com to confirm your current plan, next billing date, and the exact amount you'll be charged in Naira. This information helps you time your cancellation strategy to avoid unwanted charges.
Your rights as a nigerian consumer and what output arcade must respect
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2019 protects you from unfair contract terms, deceptive practices, and hidden charges. While this law does not automatically override Output's refund policy for digital services, it does require them to be transparent about terms, honour cancellation requests promptly, and not use dark patterns to trap you.
Key protections under nigerian consumer law
Output Arcade must provide you with clear cancellation instructions before you pay, honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe, and confirm cancellation in writing (via email). If the company uses misleading language, hides the cancellation button, or refuses to process your request, you have grounds to escalate to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
Stopee recommends screenshotting every step of your cancellation process and saving confirmation emails. These records protect you if you need to dispute a charge with your bank or file a complaint with the FCCPC later.
Escalation: when to contact the FCCPC
If Output Arcade continues to charge you after you cancel, ignores your cancellation request, or makes it deliberately difficult to unsubscribe, you can file a complaint with the FCCPC at www.fccpc.gov.ng. Include your cancellation confirmation email, bank statements showing unwanted charges, and a clear description of what happened. The FCCPC has authority to investigate and mandate refunds or service credits on your behalf.
How to cancel output arcade step by step
Output Arcade subscriptions can only be cancelled through your account dashboard at account.output.com. You cannot cancel via the App Store or Google Play, and you cannot email or call to cancel directly. This guide walks you through the exact process so you cancel on your first attempt.
The cancellation process
- Open your web browser and navigate to account.output.com.
- Use the email address you registered when you first subscribed to Output Arcade.
- If you do not remember your password, click "Forgot password?" and follow the reset link sent to your inbox.
- Sign in to your account using your registered email and password.
- Pro tip: Open your email in a separate browser tab so you can access password reset or confirmation messages instantly.
- Once logged in, locate and click the "Subscription" or "Subscriptions" tab in your account dashboard.
- This section displays your active plans, renewal dates, and billing history.
- If you do not see this section, look for "Billing" or "Payments" in the main menu.
- Find your Arcade subscription in the list and click on it to view its details.
- You will see your renewal date, the amount you will be charged, and a "Cancel" or "Manage" button.
- Click the "Cancel" button and confirm your decision when prompted by the system.
- Output may ask why you are cancelling or offer a discount to keep you subscribed; you can skip these or select your reason and proceed.
- Warning: Do not accidentally click "Pause subscription" if you want to cancel permanently. Pausing temporarily suspends billing but does not end your subscription.
- Save or screenshot your cancellation confirmation screen and wait for a confirmation email from Output.
- This email typically arrives within minutes and will state your cancellation is effective immediately or on your next renewal date (depending on your plan).
- Save this email in a folder for your records.
Pro tip: If you cannot access account.output.com or your password reset email does not arrive, contact Output support at support.output.com with your registered email, a photo of your receipt or invoice, and proof of payment (a bank statement or screenshot). They will verify your identity and process a cancellation on your behalf, though this may take 2 to 5 business days.
Avoiding common cancellation traps
Output Arcade's cancellation process is straightforward, but several small mistakes can delay your request or leave you still subscribed. First, ensure you are signed in with the correct email; if you have multiple Output accounts, you must cancel each subscription separately. Second, confirm that you clicked "Cancel subscription" and not "Pause" or "Change plan." Third, wait for your confirmation email before assuming you are cancelled; without it, you have no proof of cancellation if Output later claims you are still subscribed.
Warning: Do not assume that uninstalling the app cancels your subscription. Removing the software from your computer does nothing to stop recurring charges. You must complete the account.output.com process above.
What happens to your account and access after you cancel
Understanding what you lose and what you keep after cancellation helps you prepare and avoid surprises. Stopee wants you to feel confident about what comes next.
Immediate changes to your account
The moment Output processes your cancellation, you are logged out of the Arcade app and plugin on all devices. You cannot re-launch Arcade or access its library until you resubscribe. Any projects you built using Arcade loops or instruments will no longer play those elements through an active Arcade session.
However, any audio you exported or recorded to your hard drive-whether as a finished mix or as individual samples during production-remains yours permanently. If you bounced your drums to an audio file or exported a vocal loop as WAV, you own that file and can use it in future projects even without an active subscription.
Your data and music files
Output does not delete the music or projects you created while subscribed. Your DAW files, presets, and notes remain accessible. The limitation is that any Arcade content embedded in those projects will not load or play until you resubscribe. Stopee recommends exporting all essential audio and presets to standalone files before cancellation if you want permanent access to every element of your work.
Billing changes and renewal prevention
Cancellation stops all future charges immediately. If you cancelled before your renewal date, Output will not charge you again. Monthly subscriptions stop after the current billing cycle; annual plans stop at the end of the current 12-month period, depending on when you cancelled. Your cancellation is final, and you must manually resubscribe if you want Arcade again in the future.
Will you receive a refund for output arcade?
Refund eligibility depends entirely on your plan type and how long you have been subscribed. This section clarifies exactly what Output will and will not refund in Nigeria.
Monthly subscription refunds
Output Arcade's monthly subscription is non-refundable. Once your billing date passes and your payment is processed, Output does not issue refunds for any portion of that month, even if you cancel the next day. Your only option to stop charges is to cancel before your next renewal date arrives. If Output charged you after you cancelled, that is a billing error, and you can dispute it with your bank or escalate to the FCCPC.
Annual subscription refunds
Output offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for annual subscriptions only. If you purchased an annual plan and cancel within 30 calendar days of the purchase date, Output will refund your full payment. After 30 days, annual subscriptions become non-refundable, even if you cancel on day 31. Track your purchase date carefully, as Output calculates the 30-day window from the date your payment was processed, not from the date you received your confirmation email.
Pro tip: If you purchased an annual plan and are within 30 days, request your refund immediately by contacting support.output.com with your receipt and a brief explanation. Output typically processes annual refunds within 2 to 4 weeks.
Perpetual purchases and expansion packs
If you bought a perpetual plugin, instrument bundle, or Expansion Pack (a one-time purchase rather than a subscription), Output refunds those purchases within 14 days of the sale date. After 14 days, perpetual licenses are final and non-refundable. Some bundles or limited-edition packs may be excluded from the 14-day refund window, so check Output's returns policy at support.output.com before purchasing.
Refunds for all eligible purchases are credited to your original payment method within 14 to 28 days. If you paid by credit card, your bank may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to post the credit to your account. Bank transfers to Nigerian accounts may take 5 to 10 business days depending on your bank's processing speed.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling output arcade
Cancellation can feel stressful when you are worried about unexpected charges, and that stress often leads to small errors that complicate the process. Stopee is here to help you sidestep these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: confusing pause with cancel
Output offers a "Pause subscription" option that temporarily suspends billing for up to 3 months. If you click "Pause" instead of "Cancel," your subscription remains active after the pause ends, and you will be charged again automatically. If you want to exit permanently, always click "Cancel subscription," not "Pause." If you accidentally paused, log back into account.output.com and select "Cancel" to stop future charges.
Mistake 2: cancelling through the wrong platform
Many users try to cancel Output Arcade through the App Store or Google Play where they downloaded the app. Cancelling there does nothing to stop Output's billing, because Output handles all Arcade subscription payments directly, not through app stores. Always cancel at account.output.com using your web browser. App store cancellations only work if you subscribed through the app store; Output's documentation clarifies which payment gateway you used at the time of purchase.
Mistake 3: not saving your confirmation email
After you cancel, Output sends you a confirmation email stating when your access ends and confirming that no further charges will occur. If you delete this email or lose it, and Output later claims you are still subscribed and charges you, you have no proof of cancellation. Save every confirmation email in a dedicated folder or cloud storage for at least one year after cancellation.
Mistake 4: cancelling too close to your renewal date
If your renewal date is tomorrow and you cancel today, Output's system may still process today's cancellation request but charge you tomorrow before the cancellation takes effect. To be completely safe, cancel at least 3 to 5 business days before your next billing date. Check your renewal date in account.output.com before you cancel, and note it in your calendar.

Contact and escalation information for output arcade
If you encounter problems during cancellation or experience unauthorized charges after cancelling, use these contacts to resolve the issue.
Output support and account help
Contact Output's support team at support.output.com or through your account dashboard. Response times typically range from 24 to 72 hours. Have your registered email, receipt number, and account details ready before you reach out. If Output does not respond within 7 days or denies your cancellation or refund without valid reason, escalate your complaint to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.
Nigerian consumer protection escalation
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) investigates complaints about unfair billing, deceptive cancellation practices, and companies that ignore consumer requests. File a complaint at www.fccpc.gov.ng with screenshots of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, and any unwanted charges. Include Output's registered business name and the date of each disputed transaction. The FCCPC will contact Output and may mandate a refund or service credit within 30 to 60 days.
Bank and payment provider disputes
If Output refuses to stop charging you after cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider (Paystack, Interswitch, your credit card issuer, etc.) and request a chargeback or dispute claim. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Most financial institutions refund disputed charges within 14 to 30 days if you have proof of cancellation. This is your legal right under Nigerian banking regulations and Payment Systems Regulations 2020.
