Refund request for accidental subscription renewal

Hello,

I accidentally forgot to cancel my free trial, and I was charged US$33.99 by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd.

I did not intend to continue the subscription, and I realized the charge only after it was processed. I have already canceled the plan (or I will cancel it immediately) and would like to kindly request a refund for this charge.

I have been using Adobe on a trial basis only and would greatly appreciate your understanding and assistance. If possible, please process a refund for the US$33.99 payment.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Correct answer ShivangiGupta

I reviewed your account and found that you subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud 7 days ago and Adobe Lightroom approximately 7 months ago.

I can confirm that your Adobe Creative Cloud subscription has been successfully canceled, and a refund has been initiated.

As mentioned earlier, refunds are only available when a subscription is canceled within the first 14 days of purchase. Since the Adobe Lightroom plan was purchased more than 14 days ago, an early termination fee applies, which is why you're seeing that charge during the cancellation process.

Hi there,

Adobe offers full refund for the Creative Cloud applications if the subscription is cancelled within first 14 days of purchase. If you are eligible, an automatic refund will get initiated post cancellation which takes 12-14 days to get processed to the bank account.

I hope this helps.

My free trial converted to a paid subscription today, and my card was charged today (July 24, 2026). When I try to cancel online, it says I'll be charged an early cancellation fee of US$169.95. I have not used the subscription since the charge, and I would like to cancel under the initial purchase refund policy. Could you please cancel my subscription, waive the cancellation fee, and issue a full refund?

no one here can cancel for you.  you must cancel it yourself.
