Cancel Advancedvpn: The Right Way

How to cancel AdvancedVPN and stop unwanted charges

Why you might want to cancel AdvancedVPN

AdvancedVPN markets itself as a privacy-focused service that bundles VPN access with PC repair and privacy tools. It advertises AES-256 encryption, support for OpenVPN and IKEv2 protocols, and server coverage across multiple countries. The service allows you to protect up to five devices on one subscription and offers quarterly and annual payment options with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

However, the service operates on automatic renewal by default. Your subscription rolls over to the next billing cycle unless you actively cancel before it expires. As an Australian consumer, this automatic charge can catch you off guard, particularly if you've moved to a competitor or simply forgotten about the subscription sitting in your account.

Common reasons australians cancel AdvancedVPN

Performance doesn't match expectations. The VPN connection drops regularly or the promised speeds don't materialise. You've switched to a competing provider with better value or faster servers. The bundled software includes tools you don't need, inflating the real cost of the VPN itself. Or you simply forget about the subscription and want to stop recurring charges from hitting your account.

Whatever your reason, cancelling promptly prevents unnecessary charges and reclaims your money if you're within the refund window.

What AdvancedVPN charges you

AdvancedVPN prices in USD and processes refunds back to your original payment method, also in USD. This matters because currency conversion and exchange rate fluctuations reduce the amount that lands in your Australian bank account. The company reserves the right to issue pro-rata refunds beyond the 30-day window only if you can prove the service was genuinely unavailable or unusable, and these decisions rest entirely with them.

Your consumer rights in australia

Australia's Consumer Law protects you when you buy online services, including VPN subscriptions and software. Understanding these rights is your strongest lever if AdvancedVPN refuses your cancellation or resists a refund.

What the australian consumer law guarantees you

Under the Australian Consumer Law (Competition and Consumer Act 2010), you have the right to cancel a distance contract-which includes any online purchase-within 14 calendar days of purchase, provided you haven't substantially used the service. This 14-day right exists separately from AdvancedVPN's own 30-day money-back guarantee, meaning you get the benefit of the longer period.

If AdvancedVPN promises features it doesn't deliver, or if the service is unfit for the purpose you bought it for, you can pursue a refund under consumer guarantees even after the 14-day window closes. If the VPN fails to meet the standard a reasonable consumer would expect, or if performance is significantly impaired, you're entitled to repair, replacement, or a refund at no cost to you. This is your legal position, and it stands regardless of what the company's terms say.

How to escalate if AdvancedVPN refuses cancellation

If AdvancedVPN ignores your cancellation request or denies your refund without reasonable grounds, escalate to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). You can lodge a complaint at accc.gov.au or call 1300 302 502. The ACCC investigates breaches of consumer law and takes enforcement action against companies that refuse to honour customer rights.

Keep copies of every email, support ticket, and payment receipt. Document the date you requested cancellation and any responses from the company. This evidence becomes critical if you need to escalate to the ACCC or pursue a chargeback through your bank. Save everything in a folder you can reference immediately.

How to cancel AdvancedVPN step by step

AdvancedVPN does not offer online self-service cancellation. You must contact the company in writing via registered mail to request cancellation. This process requires you to be deliberate and leave a paper trail, which protects you.

Cancellation via registered mail

This is the only confirmed cancellation method available for AdvancedVPN customers. Follow these steps exactly to ensure your cancellation is recorded and processed:

1. Gather your account information
   • Locate your AdvancedVPN account email address
   • Find your subscription reference number or invoice number
   • Note the card or payment method linked to your account
2. Prepare your cancellation letter
   • Write or type a clear letter addressing AdvancedVPN
   • Include your full name, email address, and account details
   • State explicitly: "I request cancellation of my AdvancedVPN subscription effective immediately"
   • Include the date you want cancellation to take effect
   • Request written confirmation of cancellation
   • Keep a copy for your records
3. Send via registered post
   • Address your letter to: 21163 Newport Coast Dr. Suite #502, Newport Coast, CA 92657, USA
   • Use Australia Post's registered mail service (tracking included)
   • Request signature on delivery or tracking confirmation
   • Keep the receipt and tracking number
4. Monitor for confirmation
   • Allow up to 30 days for processing after AdvancedVPN receives your letter
   • If you haven't received written confirmation within 30 days, follow up via any available support email address
   • Reference your registered mail tracking number in any follow-up communication
5. Document everything
   • Keep the registered mail receipt, tracking number, and a copy of your letter
   • Save any email responses from AdvancedVPN
   • Record dates and amounts of any further charges

This process takes longer than online cancellation, but it creates undeniable proof that you requested cancellation, which protects you if disputes arise later.

Following up if you hear nothing

If 30 days pass and AdvancedVPN has not confirmed your cancellation, take the next step immediately. Send an email to any support address you can find, referencing your registered letter and tracking number. State that you have not received confirmation and that you expect written acknowledgment within 7 days. Keep a copy of this email for your records.

If the company continues to charge you after your cancellation letter was delivered, you have grounds to dispute the charge. Contact your bank or credit card provider and request a chargeback, citing the company's failure to honour your cancellation request despite receiving written notice.

Refunds and what you can expect

AdvancedVPN's 30-day money-back guarantee applies only to initial purchases. Your legal right to cancel is stronger and extends further. Tocancel recommends understanding both timelines so you know which protection applies to you.

The 30-day money-back guarantee

If you purchased AdvancedVPN within the last 30 days and cancel within this window, you can request a refund under the company's stated money-back guarantee. Send your cancellation letter (following the steps above) and explicitly request a full refund. AdvancedVPN will process this back to your original payment method in USD.

Refunds beyond 30 days

After 30 days, the company's own guarantee ends, but your legal rights under Australian Consumer Law continue. If you can demonstrate that the service failed to meet consumer guarantees-for example, the VPN doesn't work as advertised, connections drop regularly, or speeds are far below what you were promised-you can still pursue a refund. Tocancel advises documenting performance issues with screenshots, speed tests, or written notes of outages before you request a refund.

Currency and refund timing

AdvancedVPN refunds in USD to your original payment method. Allow 5 to 10 business days for the credit to appear in your Australian account, plus any currency conversion fees your bank applies. Check your bank statement carefully and contact your bank if the refund hasn't arrived within 14 days.

Your legal position: you're entitled to a prompt refund if you've met the terms of cancellation or if the service breached consumer law. Don't accept delays beyond 14 days without escalating.

Pricing breakdown and what you pay in australian dollars

AdvancedVPN's costs vary depending on the plan you chose and any promotional discount applied at signup. Here's what typical pricing looks like when converted to Australian dollars:

Exchange rates fluctuate daily. The AUD amounts shown use an approximate rate of 1 USD = 1.50 AUD and are for illustration only. Your actual conversion will depend on your bank's exchange rate on the day of refund. Tocancel recommends checking your bank's foreign exchange rates before requesting a refund so you know what to expect.

Common mistakes when cancelling AdvancedVPN

Cancelling a subscription you no longer want can feel frustrating, especially when the company makes it deliberately difficult. Here are the traps most customers fall into, and how to avoid them.

Mistake one: sending cancellation via email alone

AdvancedVPN doesn't guarantee it will respond to email cancellation requests. If you email a cancellation request and the company ignores it, you have no proof they received or acknowledged your request. Always use registered mail to create an undeniable record.

Mistake two: assuming automatic refund within 30 days

The 30-day money-back guarantee requires you to request a refund explicitly. Simply cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund. You must ask for one, in writing, and provide your account details so the company knows where to send the money.

Mistake three: not keeping documentation

If AdvancedVPN continues charging you after cancellation, you'll need proof of your request. Without your registered mail receipt, tracking number, and a copy of your letter, you have a weaker position if you escalate to the ACCC or dispute the charge with your bank.

Mistake four: accepting "no refund" without pushing back

If AdvancedVPN refuses a refund without explanation, you have recourse. Under Australian Consumer Law, you may still be entitled to a refund if the service breached consumer guarantees. Contact the ACCC at accc.gov.au and file a complaint. Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers cancel AdvancedVPN and recover money by escalating through proper channels.

What to do after cancellation

Once you've sent your cancellation letter, your work isn't finished. Monitor your account and bank statement to ensure the company honours your request.

Monitor your next billing date

Check when your next renewal was scheduled. This date should pass without a charge. If AdvancedVPN charges you on or after your cancellation letter's delivery date, document the charge immediately. Take a screenshot of the transaction and note the date and amount.

Verify the refund (if applicable)

If you requested a refund within 30 days, expect it within 14 days. Check your bank statement for the credit in AUD. If it doesn't arrive, contact your bank and ask them to trace the transaction. Provide them with the reference number and the original charge date.

Keep your cancellation proof indefinitely

Save your registered mail receipt, tracking confirmation, and a copy of your cancellation letter forever. If AdvancedVPN disputes your cancellation years later or attempts further charges, this evidence proves you acted responsibly.
