Question

Cancellation Policy Applies after Marketing Email Convinced me to stay....

I started a free trial in December 2022. 

I proceeded to cancel the free trial within the 14 days. Their promotion to retain me included another 3 months to keep trying the product.

I have barely used the product and went to cancel it today.  But there seems to be an automated cancellation fee.  I can't believe this is intentional from a company that promote integrity and fair business practices. It must be an oversight as the additional time was an extension of my free trial, not an agreement to subscribe for 1 year. 

Hoping a staff member can help me out with this. I attempted to use the "Start Chat" option on the Help Page but it just kept looping me to the self help page.

The free months was a customer retention incentive.  If you had no intention of using the software for a year, you could have said "no."

 

I get these offers all the time when I try to cancel a monthly service -- Satellite TV, Streaming, Phone/ISP, etc...  Most companies do everything they can to keep their customers.

Hi there,

 

We appreaciate you writing in. Happy to help!

 

We hear where you coming from however, the subscription has already been 3 months and 6 days which is more than 3 months offered.

Also, please read the article to learn about cancellation terms for your subscription.

As suggested earlier by @kglad you can contact the Support team if you have any questions regarding billing and cancellation.

 

Please do not share any personal/confidential information like email ID, bank details, etc here. This is a public forum.

 

Hope the information was helpful to you. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Sincerely,

contact adobe support. there are 3 ways to contact adobe; chat, phone and twitter:

chat:
use a browser that allows popups and cookies
and click here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human.

phone:
https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

twitter:
tweet @AdobeCare

p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam, https://community.adobe.com/t5/using-the-community-discussions/staying-safe-in-the-adobe-support-community/td-p/12919684/redirect_from_archived_page/true
