Cancel Everand: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel everand in new zealand and protect your reading subscription
What is everand and why you might want to cancel
Everand is a subscription service that gives you access to a library of ebooks and audiobooks through a monthly recurring charge. It evolved from Scribd and operates across web browsers and mobile apps on iOS and Android. You pay a monthly fee to unlock unlimited reading and listening, but if the service no longer fits your reading habits or budget, cancelling quickly is your right.
Many New Zealand subscribers find themselves paying for content they no longer use or discover the library doesn't match their expectations. Stopee helps thousands of consumers navigate these cancellations every month, and we've learned that the sooner you act, the sooner you stop unwanted charges.
Why cancelling matters to your wallet
Everand charges you monthly on a recurring basis. If you don't cancel before your next billing date, you'll be charged again. Each day you delay costs you real money, and Everand won't refund previous months just because you changed your mind. Cancelling immediately stops the auto-renewal and protects your account from further charges.
Common reasons to cancel everand
You might cancel because the subscription is too expensive, you've finished your reading goals, titles you want are no longer available, or you've switched to another platform. Whatever your reason, Stopee's step-by-step guidance will help you exit quickly without confusion.
Your cancellation rights under new zealand consumer law
New Zealand consumer protection is stronger than many digital platforms admit. The Consumer Guarantees Act protects you even when Everand's terms say "no refunds."
What the consumer guarantees act means for you
Under New Zealand law, you have statutory rights that cannot be overridden by a company's terms and conditions. If Everand's service is faulty, doesn't work as promised, or is significantly unfit for purpose, you may be entitled to a refund or replacement. A "no refunds" clause in their agreement cannot eliminate these core protections.
However, if you cancel simply because you changed your mind after using the service, New Zealand law does not grant you a 14-day "cool off" refund for digital subscriptions once you've started accessing content. The key word is "faulty" or "misrepresented" - not buyer's remorse.
When you can claim a refund in new zealand
Request a refund if Everand's service is defective (the app crashes repeatedly, content doesn't load, promised features are missing), if the description was misleading, or if the service fundamentally fails to meet guarantees. Document the fault with screenshots or notes about when it occurred. If Everand refuses, contact the Commerce Commission or the Citizens Advice Bureau for guidance on your next steps.
How to cancel everand through the website
Cancelling via Everand's official website is the most direct route and gives you a clear confirmation. Follow these steps carefully to avoid any billing surprises.
Step-by-step cancellation on the website
- Visit the Everand or Scribd website (everand.com or scribd.com) and log in with your email and password.
- Navigate to your account by clicking your profile icon (usually top right) and select Account Settings or Subscription Settings.
- Look for a Subscription or Billing section and find the option that says Cancel Subscription or Stop Recurring Charges.
- Read the cancellation confirmation screen carefully - Everand may offer a discount to keep you, but click through to actual cancellation.
- Do not close the page until you see a final confirmation message.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page or note the date and confirmation number for your records.
- Check your email for a confirmation email from Everand within 24 hours. Warning: If you don't receive one, contact support@scribd.com immediately to verify cancellation.
If the cancel button doesn't work
Some users report that the cancel subscription button is unresponsive or hard to find. If this happens to you, email support@scribd.com with the subject "Cancel my Everand subscription" and include your full name, email address, and subscription email. Request written confirmation of cancellation. Stopee recommends sending this email via a tracked method (screenshot the sent email) so you have proof of your cancellation request.
How to cancel everand on iOS (Apple app store)
If you subscribed to Everand through Apple's App Store, Apple manages your subscription billing and cancellation directly. You must cancel through Apple's settings, not through Everand.
Cancelling on iPhone or iPad
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu.
- Select Subscriptions.
- You will see a list of all your active subscriptions.
- Find and tap Everand (it may appear under the name Scribd or Everand).
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple may show a retention offer - you can ignore this and proceed to cancel.
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping Cancel Subscription again. Pro tip: Do this at least 24 hours before your next billing date to ensure the charge doesn't go through.
- You will see a message saying your subscription will end on a specific date - this is your access end date.
Important apple app store rules
Apple handles all refunds for App Store subscriptions, not Everand. If you were charged and want to dispute the charge, contact Apple Support directly at support.apple.com. Everand cannot reverse or issue refunds for App Store purchases. Your subscription access continues until the end of your paid period after you cancel, even if you request an immediate refund from Apple.
How to cancel everand on android (Google play)
Android users who subscribed through Google Play must cancel through Google Play's subscription management system. Google, not Everand, controls your billing and refund eligibility.
Cancelling on your android device or google play web
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device, or visit play.google.com in a web browser.
- Tap the Menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions to view your active subscriptions.
- Select the Everand subscription (it may appear as Scribd or Everand).
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google Play will ask you to confirm and may suggest a discounted plan to keep you as a customer.
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping the final Cancel subscription button.
- You will receive confirmation that your subscription ends on a specific date.
Google play refund and timing flexibility
Google Play allows you to cancel at any time, even mid-cycle, and some refund eligibility applies within 48 hours of purchase if you've barely used the service. However, refund requests beyond that window are at Google's discretion. Contact Google Play Support if you believe you're entitled to a refund. Google handles billing; Everand does not process Google Play refunds.
What happens to your account after you cancel
Cancellation stops future charges, but your access and account data behave in specific ways. Understanding the timeline helps you plan your reading before your access ends.
Access timeline after cancellation
Your access to Everand content continues until the end of your current paid billing cycle. If you cancel today but your next billing date is 15 days away, you can read and listen until that date. After that date, you lose all access to your library - your bookmarks, notes, and saved lists remain in your account, but the content is locked.
Warning: Some titles may become unavailable even during your paid period if Everand's licensing agreements change. This is rare but possible.
Your account data and reading history
Everand retains your account information, reading history, and saved lists according to their data retention policy. If you resubscribe later, your previous lists and history may be available, but title availability depends on current licensing. Stopee recommends downloading or screenshotting any important reading lists or notes before your access ends, just in case.
Refunds and billing: what new zealand law guarantees
Everand's standard refund policy is restrictive, but New Zealand consumer law creates exceptions. Know the difference so you don't accept unfair rejection.
Everand's stated refund policy
Everand's Subscriber Agreement states that subscription fees are generally non-refundable and no credits are provided except as outlined in their formal refund policy. Defective content may be replaced, but refunds are not routinely offered for cancellations due to change of mind. This is their baseline position.
Refunds through apple and google
If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, contact Apple or Google directly for refund requests, not Everand. Apple and Google have their own refund windows and policies. Stopee advises submitting refund requests within 48 hours of purchase if you've used the service minimally.
Refunds under the consumer guarantees act
If Everand's service failed to work as promised (the app crashes, promised content is unavailable, or the service is faulty), you may be entitled to a refund or remedy under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Everand's "no refunds" clause does not override your statutory rights. If you experience a genuine fault, email support@scribd.com with detailed evidence and request a refund as a remedy for the defective service. If they refuse, contact the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) for guidance or escalate through the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Pricing and plan comparison for everand
Understanding what you're paying helps you decide whether to cancel or adjust your plan.
| Plan type | Monthly cost (approximate NZD) | Best for | Cancellation difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard monthly subscription | $16-$20 | Casual readers and listeners | Easy via website or app store |
| Annual prepaid subscription | $140-$180 upfront | Committed readers | Easy to cancel; access continues until year-end |
| Promotional or trial offer | Varies (often $0-$5 for first month) | New users testing the service | Must cancel before trial ends to avoid full charge |
| Family or shared plan | $25-$30 | Multiple household members | Cancels the entire family plan if primary account holder cancels |
Pro tip: If you're on an annual plan and unhappy, cancelling immediately stops auto-renewal for next year. You can still read until your annual period ends. Check your billing date in Account Settings to confirm.
Common mistakes that delay or block cancellation
Cancelling should be straightforward, but small missteps can leave you subscribed and charged. We've helped countless New Zealand consumers recover from these traps - learn from their experience.
Mistake 1: not confirming cancellation in writing
Clicking the cancel button is not always enough. Some users report that their cancellation didn't register, and they were charged the following month. Always take a screenshot of the confirmation page and forward your confirmation email to yourself or save it offline. If you cancel via a mobile app, follow up with an email to support@scribd.com requesting written confirmation. Stopee recommends this backup method for all cancellations.
Mistake 2: confusing app cancellation with account cancellation
Deleting the Everand app from your phone does NOT cancel your subscription. You must go through the subscription settings in your phone's settings app (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Deleting the app just removes the software - your account and billing remain active.
Mistake 3: missing the cancellation deadline
Everand charges you on your billing date. If your next charge is in 3 days and you wait 5 days to cancel, you will be billed. Work backward from your billing date and cancel at least 24 hours early. Check your Account Settings to confirm your next billing date, then set a phone reminder 2 days before.
Mistake 4: assuming app store cancellation is automatic
If you cancel through Apple or Google, that cancellation only affects the app store subscription channel. If you also have a direct Everand website account with a separate payment method on file, you must cancel that separately. Log into the Everand website and check your subscription status independently.
Checklist: before and after your cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is clean and you don't miss any refund opportunities or account details.
| Task | Complete | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm your current billing date in Account Settings | ☐ | This is your deadline to cancel without incurring the next charge |
| Download or screenshot your saved reading lists and notes | ☐ | Your data may be deleted or inaccessible after cancellation |
| Check which platform you subscribed through (website, App Store, or Google Play) | ☐ | You must cancel through the same platform |
| Complete the cancellation and screenshot the confirmation | ☐ | This is your proof of cancellation |
| Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within 24 hours | ☐ | If no email arrives, follow up with support@scribd.com |
| Monitor your bank or card statement for the next 30 days | ☐ | If charged after cancellation, dispute immediately with your bank |
Contact information and escalation for everand
If cancellation doesn't work or you're charged after cancelling, escalate through these official channels.
Everand support contact details
Email Everand support at support@scribd.com with your full name, account email, and cancellation request. Include a screenshot of the error or proof that cancellation failed. Response times vary, but Stopee recommends following up if you don't hear back within 5 business days.
A UK address associated with Everand is available through third-party sources, but email is faster and more reliable. Do not use unofficial or third-party cancellation services unless you've exhausted direct contact with Everand.
Escalation if everand refuses to cancel
If Everand ignores your cancellation request or claims you're not eligible, escalate to the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) or the Citizens Advice Bureau. New Zealand's consumer protection rules require businesses to honour cancellation requests, and regulatory bodies have the power to compel compliance. Document all emails and cancellation attempts before escalating.
Disputing charges with your bank
If you're charged after cancelling, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and request a chargeback dispute. Provide your cancellation screenshot as evidence. Your bank can reverse the charge and investigate Everand's billing practices. Most banks process disputes within 30 days.
