Cancel Easybib: The Right Way

How to cancel EasyBib and protect your subscription rights in canada

What EasyBib is and why you might want to cancel

EasyBib is an online citation and writing-assistance platform owned by Chegg that helps students and writers generate bibliographies, check grammar and detect plagiarism. You access it through web and mobile apps, and it supports thousands of citation styles including APA, MLA and Chicago format. Many Canadian students rely on EasyBib for academic work, but the subscription model means you pay regularly whether you use it every week or not at all.

If your course has ended, you have found a free alternative, or the service no longer fits your budget, cancelling is straightforward once you know where to go. At Tocancel, we help you understand exactly how to do this without losing access or wasting money on unwanted renewals.

The core problem: accidental renewals and hidden charges

EasyBib subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. Many students forget they signed up, or their account sits dormant until the next charge hits their credit card. The real challenge is that cancellation rules depend entirely on which platform you used to buy your subscription, so cancelling in one place might not stop charges from another. This means you need clarity on exactly where your payment came from before you can cancel effectively.

Why you should cancel now rather than later

Subscription services count on procrastination. The longer you delay, the more billing cycles pass and the harder it becomes to track where your money went. If you have already decided EasyBib does not serve you anymore, cancelling immediately protects your next payment. Tocancel recommends acting within 7 days of your decision to avoid an unwanted renewal charge.

Your consumer rights in canada and what they mean for you

Canadian consumer law does not grant you an automatic refund right for digital subscriptions simply because you change your mind. Instead, merchants like Chegg (EasyBib's owner) must honour the terms they advertise, and those terms govern your refund eligibility.

What canada's consumer protection laws require from merchants

Under provincial consumer protection legislation and the Competition Act, EasyBib must:

• Display their refund policy clearly before you pay
• Honour any refund promises they advertise or email you
• Cancel your subscription when you request it in writing or through their platform
• Cease billing you after your cancellation becomes effective
• Respect your right to dispute unauthorized or erroneous charges with your credit card company or bank

Your legal position is simple: once you formally request cancellation, EasyBib must stop charging you. If they continue billing after you have cancelled, you have the right to dispute the charge with your credit card company or initiate a chargeback through your bank. If EasyBib refuses to cancel your subscription or continues billing you after you have formally requested cancellation, you can file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority (such as Consumer Protection Ontario or the British Columbia Office of the Registrar of Mortgage Brokers) or escalate through your payment method.

When you can demand a refund in canada

You have the strongest case for a refund if:

• EasyBib charges you after you successfully cancelled
• Your cancellation request was ignored or not processed
• The service was unavailable for an extended period during your paid period
• Chegg misrepresented features in their marketing that you relied on when you subscribed
• You cancel within a short timeframe; some provinces recognize a brief "cool-off" period for certain digital purchases (check your province's rules)

Keep email confirmations of every cancellation request and screenshots of your account showing the cancellation date, so you have proof if a dispute arises. This evidence is crucial when you contact Tocancel or your provincial consumer authority.

Cancellation methods: where to cancel EasyBib

EasyBib subscriptions sold through different platforms require different cancellation steps, so you must cancel through the exact platform where you bought it.

Cancel through the chegg website (most common method)

This is the standard path if you signed up directly at Chegg or through the main EasyBib website. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your EasyBib account at easybib.com or chegg.com
2. Navigate to your account settings or billing section (usually found in the top-right menu under your profile name)
3. Look for "Subscriptions", "Billing" or "Manage Plan"
4. Select your active EasyBib subscription and choose "Cancel subscription"
5. Review the cancellation notice (EasyBib may offer a discount to keep you; decline if you want to leave)
6. Confirm cancellation by clicking the final "Cancel subscription" button
7. Save or screenshot the cancellation confirmation email that arrives in your inbox

Do not rely on verbal cancellations or requests in chat alone. Always confirm cancellation through the account settings and save your confirmation email. If the website cancellation button is missing or broken, proceed to the contact method below.

Cancel if you subscribed through the mobile app (iOS or android)

If you signed up via the EasyBib mobile app, your subscription may be tied to Apple's App Store or Google Play, not directly to Chegg. You must cancel through the app store:

1. On iOS: Open the App Store, tap your profile icon (top-right), select "Subscriptions", find EasyBib and tap "Cancel Subscription"
2. On Android: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions" > "Subscriptions", select EasyBib and tap "Cancel subscription"
3. Save a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation
4. Log into your EasyBib account separately to verify the subscription has been removed

Many students forget that app-based subscriptions must be cancelled through the app store, not the company's website. Failure to do this is why charges continue after you believe you have cancelled.

Cancel if you subscribed through PayPal or another payment method

If you paid via PayPal, a bank transfer or a third-party payment processor, you may need to cancel the authorization on the payment platform itself:

1. Log into your PayPal account at paypal.com (or your payment platform)
2. Go to "Settings" or "Account" and find "Automatic Payments" or "Subscriptions"
3. Locate the EasyBib or Chegg subscription and click "Cancel"
4. Confirm the cancellation
5. Contact EasyBib support (see contact details below) to confirm the cancellation on their end

Cancelling on your payment platform does not always cancel the subscription on EasyBib's system. Therefore, always follow up by contacting EasyBib directly to ensure they have processed your cancellation request.

Cancel by contacting EasyBib support directly

If you cannot cancel through your account or the methods above, contact EasyBib support in writing (email or registered mail). This is your safest method because you create a dated record of your request.

1. Send an email to Chegg's or EasyBib's support address (find this on their website or in your account settings) with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request"
2. Include your full name, email address associated with your account, and the date you want the cancellation to take effect
3. State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my EasyBib subscription effective today"
4. Keep a copy of the email and its timestamp
5. Allow 5 to 7 business days for processing
6. Check your account 10 days later to confirm the subscription no longer appears

If you need to send a formal cancellation letter by mail, use registered mail with return receipt so you have proof of delivery. Address your letter to Chegg's legal office (contact details appear at the end of this guide).

Pricing: what you are paying for EasyBib subscriptions

EasyBib offers several subscription tiers in Canada. Understanding your current plan helps you cancel the right one.

Prices vary by region and promotional offers. If you are unsure of your plan, log in and check your account settings under "Billing" or "Subscription". Do not assume a lower-cost tier; confirm the exact charge before you contact support.

After cancellation: what happens to your account and data

Once you cancel, your EasyBib subscription ends immediately or at the end of your current billing period, depending on your plan and the company's policy. In most cases, your downgrade happens right away, but annual subscriptions may not refund the unused portion.

Will you lose your citations and documents?

Cancellation does not delete your saved citations or bibliographies. You retain read-only access to your work for a limited time. However, you lose the ability to edit citations or add new ones once your subscription ends. Export or download any critical work before you cancel.

How long until billing stops?

Once you cancel through your account settings or via the app store, charges should stop immediately. If you cancel via email or mail, allow 10 business days for confirmation. If a charge appears more than 10 days after your written cancellation request, contact Tocancel or your provincial consumer authority immediately.

Will you receive a refund?

EasyBib typically does not refund unused portions of monthly subscriptions once you cancel. If you paid for an annual plan, check Chegg's refund policy; some provinces require a partial refund within 30 days of cancellation. Contact EasyBib support with your cancellation confirmation email to request a refund if you believe you qualify.

Refund eligibility and how to claim one in canada

Your refund rights depend on when you cancel and your province's specific rules.

When you can claim a refund

You have the right to request a refund if:

• You cancel within 7 to 14 days of purchase (some provinces allow this; verify with your provincial consumer authority)
• You were charged after you successfully cancelled
• The service was unavailable for an extended period during your paid subscription
• EasyBib misrepresented the service in their marketing

Contact your provincial consumer protection office to learn the exact cool-off period in your province. British Columbia allows 14 days for some digital purchases; Ontario has 30 days for certain goods, but digital services are subject to different rules.

How to claim a refund from EasyBib

1. Email EasyBib support with the subject "Refund Request" and include your order number, cancellation confirmation, and the reason for your request
2. Keep a copy of your email and the timestamp
3. Allow 5 to 10 business days for a response
4. If EasyBib denies your refund, contact your credit card company and request a chargeback, or file a dispute through your bank

Escalation: what to do if EasyBib refuses your refund

If EasyBib denies your refund request and you believe they are in violation of consumer law, file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority:

• Ontario: Consumer Protection Ontario (ServiceOntario)
• British Columbia: Consumer Protection BC
• Alberta: Fair Trading Act (Government of Alberta)
• Canada (federal): Competition Bureau or Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)

Tocancel recommends keeping all email correspondence and screenshots of your account for at least 90 days after cancellation in case a dispute arises.

Common mistakes when cancelling EasyBib

Cancelling a subscription should be simple, but students often make preventable errors that keep them charged for months longer than necessary. Here are the traps to avoid.

Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place

The most common error is cancelling your account profile instead of your subscription. Closing your account does not automatically cancel your subscription. Always cancel under "Billing" or "Subscriptions", not under "Account Settings" or "Delete Account". If you delete your account without cancelling the subscription first, you may still be charged because the subscription remains active.

Mistake 2: assuming a password change stops the subscription

Changing your password does not cancel your subscription. Neither does logging out or uninstalling the app. Only a direct cancellation request through your account settings or a written request to support will stop charges. Do not rely on indirect methods.

Mistake 3: forgetting to cancel the app store subscription

If you signed up via iOS or Android, cancelling on the EasyBib website will not stop app store charges. You must cancel directly through Apple's App Store or Google Play. Many students discover this mistake only after a month of unexpected charges.

Mistake 4: not saving your cancellation confirmation

If a charge appears after you cancel, you need proof that you requested cancellation. Always save the confirmation email and take screenshots of the cancellation confirmation page. Without this evidence, disputes with your bank or credit card company become much harder to win.

Mistake 5: cancelling too close to your renewal date

If your billing cycle renews on the 25th and you cancel on the 24th, you may still be charged for the next month. Check your account to see your renewal date, then cancel at least 3 days before renewal. If you miss the window, contact support immediately and request a refund for the unexpected charge.
