Cancel Storyboard That: The Right Way

How to cancel Storyboard That and protect your rights in malaysia

What is Storyboard That and why malaysians use it

Storyboard That is a web-based visual storytelling platform trusted by educators, marketing teams, students, and small businesses across Malaysia. The service lets you create storyboards, comic strips, and visual narratives without needing design experience. It runs on a recurring subscription model, which means you need to actively cancel to stop future charges.

How the service works

Storyboard That operates as software-as-a-service (SaaS), meaning you access it through your web browser. You do not install anything locally. The platform includes pre-built templates, character libraries, and export options tailored for classroom materials, marketing content, and internal team projects. Malaysian users pay in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), though pricing is converted from the company's USD rate.

The service operates on a month-to-month or annual billing cycle. Many Malaysian users sign up for one month to test it, then forget to cancel before the renewal date arrives. This is why understanding your cancellation rights and the exact steps to cancel matters so much before charges hit your card again.

Main paid features you lose after cancellation

The Individual Edition includes unlimited storyboards, full cell capacity per board, watermark removal, and expanded export formats. Teams Edition adds user management dashboards, project folders, and admin controls. Once you cancel, you lose these premium features immediately, though your existing storyboards remain viewable in read-only mode during your active subscription period.

This means you should export or download any storyboards you need for school assignments, client work, or internal training before you start the cancellation process. Waiting until after cancellation is confirmed can be risky if access becomes restricted earlier than expected.

Pricing for malaysian users

Exchange rates fluctuate, so your actual card charge may vary slightly from these estimates. Always check your account dashboard for the exact renewal amount before your billing date.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Storyboard That

What malaysian consumer law protects you

Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 gives you specific rights when you buy any service, including digital subscriptions. Under this law, the service provider must give you clear, truthful information about renewal dates, charges, and cancellation methods before you pay. The company must also make cancellation as easy as the original sign-up process.

Your legal position is clear: you have the right to cancel at any time before your next billing cycle, without penalty, and without needing to give a reason. If Storyboard That charges you after you have cancelled, or if cancellation is deliberately made difficult, you can lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), which enforces consumer protection in Malaysia.

Tocancel helps thousands of Malaysian consumers understand and enforce these rights every year. When you cancel through Tocancel's guidance, you know exactly what protections apply to you.

Refund and money-back guarantees

Storyboard That offers a limited refund window. According to the help documentation, the service provides a 14-day money-back guarantee if you have not used the service meaningfully since purchasing. This means if you signed up, paid, but did not create any storyboards or export materials, you may qualify for a full refund.

After the 14-day window closes, refunds become much harder to obtain. If you cancel and request a refund outside this period, the company may refuse unless you can prove a billing error or unauthorized charge. This is why it matters to cancel quickly if you realise the service is not for you.

To claim a refund, contact support at [email protected] with your account email, the date of purchase, and the charge amount. Keep a copy of all correspondence. If the company refuses a legitimate refund claim, you can escalate to the MDTCA with your evidence.

How to cancel Storyboard That step by step

Prepare before you cancel

Taking a few minutes to prepare prevents complications and regret later. Many Malaysian users cancel impulsively, then lose access to important storyboards or miss the refund window because they did not document their account details.

Follow these steps before you touch the cancellation button:

• Log into your account and take a screenshot of your current plan, renewal date, and last charge amount
• Export or download every storyboard you might need in future (PDF, image, or project file format)
• Note your account email address and subscription start date
• Check whether you subscribed through the website, Apple App Store, Google Play, or a school administrator dashboard (this changes how you cancel)
• Calculate how many days remain until your next billing date; if it is within 7 days, cancellation is urgent

This preparation takes 10 minutes and protects you from losing work or missing refund eligibility.

Cancel through the Storyboard That website

The official cancellation path on the website is not obvious, which frustrates many Malaysian users. Follow these steps exactly:

1. Log into your Storyboard That account at the main website
2. Click your profile icon or name in the top-right corner
3. Select "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu
4. Look for a section labeled "Subscription", "Billing", or "Plan"
5. Click the button that says "Cancel subscription", "Downgrade", or "Manage plan"
6. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation; do not close the browser until you see a confirmation message
7. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page showing the cancellation date
8. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message within 1 hour
   • If no email arrives within 24 hours, contact support immediately at [email protected]

Important: deleting your account (through "Delete My Account") is not the same as cancelling your subscription. Account deletion removes your profile but does not stop billing. Always use the subscription cancellation path, not account deletion.

Cancel if you subscribed through apple app store or google play

If you signed up using the Storyboard That app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device, you must cancel through that app store, not through the website. The company does not manage these subscriptions directly.

1. On iPhone or iPad: open the App Store app, tap your profile icon (top-right), select "Subscriptions", find Storyboard That, and tap "Cancel subscription"
2. On Android: open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select "Payments and subscriptions", choose "Subscriptions", find Storyboard That, and tap "Cancel subscription"
3. Confirm the cancellation on the prompt that appears
4. Take a screenshot showing the cancellation status
   • The status should change from "Active" or "Renews on [date]" to "Cancelled" or "Expires on [date]"

App store cancellations usually take effect immediately, but you may still have access until your current billing period ends. This is normal and legal.

Cancel through a school or team administrator

If your school, university, or workplace manages your Storyboard That account through a Teams Edition subscription, you cannot cancel as an individual. Contact your school administrator, IT department, or team lead and ask them to remove you from the account or to downgrade your seat license. Provide your full name and account email so they can identify you quickly.

Document your request in writing (email is fine) so you have proof you asked for removal. If your organization does not respond within 5 business days, contact Storyboard That support separately at [email protected] to confirm whether you remain liable for charges.

What happens after you cancel Storyboard That

Your access and timeline after cancellation

After you cancel, you move from a paid plan to the free plan (or to no access, depending on the company's policy). During the remainder of your current billing cycle, you usually keep full access to paid features. Once that cycle ends, your account downgrades and you lose premium features such as watermark removal and export options.

You can still view your old storyboards in read-only mode, but you cannot edit, export, or create new ones under the free plan. This is why saving your work before cancellation is essential.

The timeline works like this:

• Day 1: You cancel your subscription
• Same day: You receive a confirmation email; your account status changes to "cancelled" or "downgrading"
• Current cycle end date: Your paid access ends; you automatically move to the free plan
• Future: No new charges appear on your card

If a charge appears after your stated cancellation date, report it to Storyboard That support within 7 days and request a reversal. If the company does not refund it within 14 days, escalate to your bank and to the MDTCA.

Stopping accidental reactivation

A small number of Malaysian users report that Storyboard That reactivated their subscription months after cancellation, usually due to payment method issues or technical glitches. To protect yourself:

• Check your bank or credit card statements every month for 3 months after cancellation to confirm no charges appear
• Save the cancellation confirmation email as proof that you ended the subscription
• If an unexpected charge occurs, contact your bank to dispute it as an unauthorized charge
• Report the charge to Storyboard That and request a full refund, citing the date you cancelled

Tocancel has helped many Malaysian consumers dispute unauthorized re-billing and recover funds. Your bank has the power to reverse charges and investigate the merchant, so use that protection if needed.

Refund options and how to claim them

Claiming a refund within the guarantee window

If you are within 14 days of your purchase and have not used the service substantially, you qualify for a full refund under Storyboard That's money-back guarantee. "Not used substantially" means you did not create storyboards, export files, or access premium features.

To claim:

1. Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Refund request"
2. Include your account email, the purchase date, the amount charged, and the reason (e.g., "Not the right fit for my needs")
3. Request a full refund and confirm you understand the 14-day window
4. Wait for a response within 5 business days
   • The support team will either approve and process the refund, or explain why you do not qualify
   • Refunds typically appear in your bank account within 7-10 business days after approval

Keep copies of all emails. If the company refuses a refund you believe you deserve, file a complaint with the MDTCA and include your email correspondence as evidence.

Disputing charges outside the refund window

If you cancelled more than 14 days after purchase but a charge still appeared, or if you were charged after cancellation, you have other options. Contact Storyboard That support first and explain the error. Provide screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and the disputed charge.

If the company does not respond within 10 business days or refuses to refund the charge, contact your bank's dispute department and file a chargeback. Provide your bank with:

• The original purchase receipt and charge details
• The cancellation confirmation email
• Proof you attempted to resolve it with the company (email correspondence)
• A clear explanation of the error

Your bank will investigate and usually refund the disputed amount while the case is open. This protects your money while you work toward a resolution.

Common mistakes when cancelling Storyboard That

Errors that cost malaysian users time and money

It is frustrating to cancel carefully and still end up charged. These are the most common cancellation mistakes we see, and how to avoid them:

Deleting your account instead of cancelling your subscription

Storyboard That's "Delete My Account" option removes your profile, storyboards, and personal data permanently. It does not stop recurring charges. Many Malaysian users click "Delete My Account" thinking they have cancelled, then get charged the next month. This happens because account deletion and subscription cancellation are two separate systems.

Always use the subscription cancellation path (through Settings > Subscription > Cancel Subscription), not the account deletion option. If you have already deleted your account and still see charges, contact support immediately and explain the confusion.

Cancelling through the wrong channel

If you subscribed through the iOS App Store or Google Play, you must cancel there, not on the website. The website cancellation path only works for accounts created directly on the Storyboard That website. Using the wrong path leads to no cancellation at all, and your subscription continues renewing.

Check your original sign-up email to confirm where you subscribed. It will mention "Apple App Store", "Google Play", or "Storyboard That" as the seller. This tells you exactly where to cancel.

Cancelling too close to the renewal date

If your renewal date is tomorrow and you cancel today, Storyboard That may still charge you. The company processes renewals on a set schedule, not in real-time. Cancellations submitted within 24 hours of the renewal time sometimes fail to prevent the charge.

If this happens to you, request an immediate refund from support, citing the timing issue. Your bank can also reverse the charge if the company refuses.

Not downloading storyboards before cancellation

Once you cancel and your subscription ends, you lose the ability to export storyboards in premium formats. You can view them in read-only mode on the free plan, but you cannot edit or share them easily. If you need these files for client work or school, saving them first is essential.

Export each storyboard as a PDF or image file before you cancel. This takes a few minutes per board but saves you from losing important work.

Ignoring the confirmation email

Storyboard That sends a cancellation confirmation email when you cancel. Many Malaysian users do not read it carefully and miss crucial details such as the exact access end date or conditions for refunds. Some users never receive the email at all because it goes to spam.

Check your spam folder for the confirmation email. If it does not arrive within 2 hours of cancellation, contact support to confirm the cancellation went through. Do not assume silence means success.
