Cancel Vpnscreen: The Right Way

How to cancel Vpnscreen in malaysia: your rights and step-by-step guide

What Vpnscreen is and why you might want to cancel

Vpnscreen is a subscription-based VPN service that encrypts your internet traffic, hides your IP address, and provides access to premium features while your paid term is active. If you signed up directly through their website or via an app store, you are enrolled in an auto-renewing subscription that charges your card every billing cycle unless you cancel before the next renewal date.

The service structure and how billing works

Vpnscreen operates on a tiered model: once you cancel, your account remains active until the current subscription period expires, then automatically reverts to a Basic (limited or free) tier. This means you keep access until your paid period ends, but no new charges apply after cancellation takes effect.

The real danger is auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically on your next billing date unless you submit a cancellation request beforehand. Many Malaysian users discover unexpected charges weeks or months after thinking they had cancelled, because they did not complete the cancellation before the renewal cycle triggered.

Why malaysian consumer law matters for Vpnscreen

Vpnscreen's terms state that Malaysian law governs the contract and disputes are resolved through arbitration within Malaysia. This is a significant protection for you: any billing dispute, refund claim, or service complaint falls under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), which is enforced by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCL) in Malaysia.

This legal foundation means you do not have to chase a foreign company through overseas courts. Your rights are backed by Malaysian law, and Tocancel's guidance is grounded in the consumer protections available to you right here at home.

Your consumer rights under malaysian law

Before you cancel, understand what the law entitles you to. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects you from unfair contract terms, misleading billing practices, and unreasonable cancellation barriers.

Your legal position in plain language

Under the CPA 1999, you have the right to cancel a subscription service. The company cannot hide cancellation behind complex procedures or make it deliberately harder to cancel than it was to sign up. If Vpnscreen charges your card after you submit a valid cancellation request, you can dispute that charge with your bank or card issuer and escalate to the MDTCCL if the company refuses to refund.

If Vpnscreen fails to honour a refund within 30 days of your cancellation request (if you are eligible for a refund), or if they continue to charge you after cancellation, document everything and file a complaint with MDTCCL at https://www.kpdnkk.gov.my.

What the CPA 1999 says about auto-renewal and unfair terms

The CPA 1999 states that traders must not engage in unfair or aggressive commercial practices. Burying a cancellation button or making auto-renewal confusing violates this rule. You also have the right to fair information before purchase: if Vpnscreen's cancellation terms were not clear at the point of sign-up, that is a breach.

Tocancel recommends keeping screenshots of every step. If Vpnscreen's cancellation process fails or is unclear, those images become evidence if you need to escalate a dispute.

Methods to cancel Vpnscreen in malaysia

Your cancellation route depends on where you subscribed: directly on the Vpnscreen website, through the iOS App Store, through Google Play, or another third-party app platform. Each route has different steps, but the same principle applies: you must cancel before your next billing date to avoid being charged again.

Cancel via the Vpnscreen website

If you signed up on Vpnscreen's website and pay by credit card or debit card, this is your primary cancellation route.

1. Go to https://www.vpnscreen.com and log in with your email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link and reset via email.
2. Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management (usually in the top-right menu or under "My Account").
   • Look for a section labelled "Billing", "Plan", "Subscription", or "Active Plan".
3. Find the Cancel Subscription or Downgrade button.
   • If the button is greyed out or missing, take a screenshot and contact support immediately at [email protected].
4. Click the button and follow the on-screen prompts.
   • Vpnscreen may ask why you are cancelling; you can skip this or provide feedback.
   • Review any final message that confirms your cancellation date.
5. Confirm the cancellation by clicking "Yes, Cancel" or a similar final confirmation button.
   • Do not close the page until you see a success message.
6. Save or screenshot the confirmation page and check your email for a cancellation receipt within 24 hours.
   • If you do not receive an email confirmation within one business day, email [email protected] with your account details and the date you submitted the cancellation request.

Cancel via iOS app store (iPhone or iPad)

If you subscribed through the App Store in-app purchase system, you must cancel through the App Store itself, not through Vpnscreen's website.

1. Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
2. Tap Subscriptions.
   • You will see a list of all your active subscriptions.
3. Find and tap Vpnscreen in the list.
   • If Vpnscreen does not appear, scroll down or check for a "Show Hidden Subscriptions" option.
4. Tap Cancel Subscription or Edit Subscription.
   • The button text varies depending on your iOS version.
5. Confirm the cancellation.
   • The App Store will show you the final charge date and when your service will end.
6. Check your Apple ID email for a cancellation confirmation within one hour.
   • Do not rely on in-app notifications; the official confirmation comes via email.

Cancel via google play (Android)

If you subscribed through Google Play, follow these steps on your Android device or via the web.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device (or go to https://play.google.com on a computer).
   • On desktop, log in with your Google account.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner and select Payments and Subscriptions.
   • On desktop, navigate to "Manage subscriptions".
3. Tap or click Subscriptions.
   • You will see all active subscriptions linked to your Google Play account.
4. Find and tap Vpnscreen.
   • If you see multiple entries, select the one showing "Active".
5. Tap Cancel Subscription.
   • Google Play will ask if you want to cancel and will show your final charge date.
6. Confirm by tapping Yes, cancel subscription.
   • A confirmation email will be sent to your Google account email address.

Cancel by contacting Vpnscreen support directly

If the website or app cancellation routes fail, or if you cannot access your account, contact Vpnscreen support in writing.

1. Email [email protected] with a clear subject line: "Cancellation Request for [Your Email Address]".
   • Include your full name, registered email address, account creation date, and current plan name.
2. State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Vpnscreen subscription, effective immediately."
   • Do not say "please consider cancelling" or "I am thinking about cancelling"; use definitive language.
3. Ask for written confirmation of your cancellation within 24 hours.
   • Request the cancellation effective date and confirmation that no further charges will be applied.
4. Keep a copy of your email and note the time and date you sent it.
   • If you do not receive a reply within 48 hours, send a follow-up email and consider filing a complaint with MDTCCL.

Understanding vpnscreen's refund policy in malaysia

Vpnscreen may offer refunds within a limited window if you meet specific conditions. Understanding this policy now can save you frustration if you are cancelled and want your money back.

When you can claim a refund

Vpnscreen's refund eligibility typically depends on how much you have used the service and how long ago you subscribed. The policy is often described as: refunds within 30 days if the service has not been heavily used.

In practice, this means: if you signed up, tested the service lightly, and cancelled within 30 days, you have a strong case for a refund. If you have used it extensively (downloading large amounts of data, connecting for many hours daily, or accessing features heavily), Vpnscreen may refuse the refund or offer a partial refund only.

To strengthen your refund claim, Tocancel recommends documenting your usage before you cancel. Open your account settings and take a screenshot showing your connection statistics, data transferred, and the dates you were active. This evidence helps if you need to dispute a refund denial.

How to request a refund

1. Submit your cancellation request first (using the steps above).
   • Do not wait for cancellation to be processed before asking for a refund.
2. Within the same email or within 24 hours, send a separate email to [email protected] with the subject: "Refund Request for [Your Email Address]".
   • Reference your subscription start date, subscription plan, total amount paid, and the date you cancelled.
3. Explain your refund reason clearly: for example, "The service did not meet my expectations" or "I cancelled within the 30-day refund window and have not heavily used the service."
   • If applicable, mention that you cancelled before any auto-renewal charge occurred.
4. Request a refund to your original payment method within 7 to 14 days.
   • Ask for a timeline and a refund reference number in the response.
5. If Vpnscreen refuses or does not respond within 14 days, escalate to your bank's chargeback process or file a complaint with MDTCCL.
   • Keep all emails, cancellation confirmations, and evidence of usage for this dispute.

Pricing and plan comparison in malaysia

While Vpnscreen's exact Malaysian pricing is not clearly published online, understanding the market helps you make an informed decision about whether to stay or cancel.

If you are cancelling Vpnscreen because you are unhappy with service quality, speed, or customer support, Tocancel suggests comparing these alternatives before you decide on a replacement.

Common mistakes when cancelling Vpnscreen

Many Malaysian users cancel but still get charged because they miss a critical step. Here are the traps that cost people money and how to avoid them.

Mistake 1: cancelling on the app but not checking the website

If you subscribed via the App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through the same platform. Cancelling on the Vpnscreen website will not stop app-store charges. Similarly, if you subscribed on the website, logging out of the app does not cancel your subscription. Always cancel on the platform where you originally subscribed.

Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is instant

Cancellation takes time to process. You remain charged and active until the current billing cycle ends. If your next billing date is in three days and you cancel today, you will still be charged in three days (and your service will end that same day). To avoid this, cancel well before your renewal date, ideally seven to fourteen days in advance. Tocancel recommends setting a phone reminder for one week before your renewal date.

Mistake 3: not saving cancellation confirmation

If Vpnscreen charges you after cancellation, you need proof that you submitted a valid cancellation request. Screenshot the final confirmation page, save the email receipt, or take notes of the date and time you cancelled. Without this evidence, your bank will struggle to support a chargeback claim.

Mistake 4: confusing "cancel" with "pause" or "downgrade"

Some VPN services let you pause a subscription or downgrade to a free tier instead of fully cancelling. Check the button labels carefully. "Pause" usually means your subscription is still active and may auto-resume; "Cancel" means it ends. If you see only "Pause" or "Downgrade" options and no "Cancel" button, contact support in writing to request full cancellation.

After cancellation: what happens to your access and data

Once you cancel, your service does not vanish instantly. Understanding the timeline helps you avoid panic or missed deadlines.

What you keep until your current period ends

After cancellation, your Vpnscreen account stays active until the end of your paid subscription period. You keep full access to premium features, encrypted browsing, and all VPN servers until that final day. On the day after your paid period expires, your account downgrades to Basic (limited or free) status, and your access changes accordingly.

What happens to your data

Vpnscreen does not delete your account data immediately after cancellation. However, once your subscription expires and your account reverts to Basic status, your saved settings, connection logs, and preferences may be reset or cleared. If you need to keep any account information, export or document it before your paid period ends.

Reinstating your subscription

If you cancel and later decide you want Vpnscreen back, you can resubscribe at any time. However, you will be charged at current rates, not your original rate, and you may not be eligible for any introductory discount you received the first time. Tocancel advises shopping around for better deals before you resubscribe.

What to do if Vpnscreen keeps charging you after cancellation

If your card is charged after you submitted a valid cancellation request, take these steps immediately.

Step 1: gather evidence

Collect every document you have: the cancellation confirmation page (screenshot), the cancellation email receipt, the unexpected charge shown on your bank statement, and any support emails. Write down the date you cancelled and the date of the unwanted charge.

Step 2: contact Vpnscreen in writing

Email [email protected] with the subject line: "Unauthorized Charge After Cancellation Request". Attach screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and the unwanted bank charge. Ask for an immediate refund and request written confirmation that the error occurred and will not happen again.

Set a deadline: request a response and refund within 7 days. If you do not receive a response, move to Step 3.

Step 3: contact your bank for a chargeback

Call your bank or log into your online banking portal and dispute the charge. Provide the bank with your cancellation evidence and explain that you cancelled before the charge date. Your bank can reverse the charge and may open a formal dispute with Vpnscreen on your behalf.

Step 4: file a complaint with MDTCCL

If the chargeback is denied or Vpnscreen refuses to refund, lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCL) at https://www.kpdnkk.gov.my. Include all evidence of cancellation and unauthorized charges. MDTCCL can pressure Vpnscreen to refund and may take enforcement action if the company is breaking consumer law.
