Question

Cancellation and fees

I subscribed to a few adobe services for my company recently and tried cancelling the products I don't need or use and Adobe wants to charge me crazy amounts of money to cancel. Its outrageous! I paid for the products I used while using them. Why charge me all that money when I won't be using them anymore??

 

I accepted some of the charges but I still have 2 more products and I can't afford to lose more money. I've just started my company... and with the current situation I won't survive for much longer, sadly.

If you're  being charged cancellation fees, that means you agreed to a 1 year commitment. It's the same with lease and data plan contracts.  To avoid paying penalty fees, wait until your 12th month to cancel.

 

This pandemic is not going to last forever.  In the meantime, you might want to defer your monthly payments for a couple of months until you get back into full operational mode.  But that's handled on a case-by-case basis with Adobe Customer Care Agents.

================
NOTE: The pandemic is effecting all sectors. There are fewer Adobe agents available and wait times are longer than normal.

When you 'click to agree' to the subscription terms while buying a subscription, that means that you really do need to read BEFORE you buy a subscription... https://www.adobe.com/misc/subscription_terms.html

 

You bought a one year contract to use the programs... an early cancel has a fee of 1/2 of the remaining contract

 

Contact support (this is a public forum with other users) and explain your situation... I have read that while it is NOT the official policy, Adobe MAY work with you if you need to cancel due to being out of work because of the Coronavirus
