Cancel Jobscan: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel Jobscan and take control of your job search

What Jobscan does and why new zealand jobseekers cancel

Jobscan is a resume and LinkedIn optimisation tool that scans your job applications against applicant tracking systems (ATS). It identifies gaps between your resume and job descriptions, then suggests improvements to help your application pass automated screening filters.

If you've secured a new role, found a better alternative tool, or simply want to reduce subscription costs, cancelling promptly stops unwanted charges and protects your money. This guide explains every step to cancel Jobscan in New Zealand, your legal rights under New Zealand consumer law, and what happens after you cancel.

Common reasons Jobscan subscribers cancel

You might decide to cancel if you've landed a job, prefer competitor tools, want to lower your monthly expenses, or feel the ATS optimisation isn't delivering interview invitations. Your decision to cancel is valid regardless of the reason, and Tocancel is here to help you navigate the process with confidence.

Why timing matters when you cancel

Jobscan charges on a monthly or quarterly cycle depending on your plan. Cancelling before your next renewal date prevents you being charged again and preserves your right to request a refund within Jobscan's eligible window. Set a calendar reminder one week before your billing date to avoid accidental renewal.

Jobscan pricing in new zealand dollars

Jobscan displays prices in USD on its website, but you'll be charged in NZD when you pay with a New Zealand bank account or credit card.

Exchange rates fluctuate daily, so your actual NZD charge may differ from the estimates above. Check your bank statement or Jobscan account dashboard to see the exact amount you were charged.

Your consumer rights in new zealand

New Zealand law gives you strong protections when you subscribe to digital services like Jobscan.

Consumer guarantees act and fair trading act

The Consumer Guarantees Act requires that all services supplied to you are delivered with reasonable care and skill, fit for their stated purpose, and match any description provided by the trader. The Fair Trading Act prevents misleading or deceptive conduct. Jobscan cannot remove these protections from you, no matter what its terms of service say.

If Jobscan's service is faulty, does not perform as advertised, or is unfit for its stated purpose, you have grounds to request a refund or credit regardless of Jobscan's cancellation policy. Your legal position here is strong and backed by statutory law.

Cooling-off and change of mind refunds

New Zealand does not legally require a mandatory cooling-off period for digital subscription services. Change-of-mind refunds are not a legal right unless the service is genuinely faulty or misrepresented. However, many providers do offer short refund windows as a courtesy.

If you believe Jobscan misrepresented its service quality or features, escalate your refund request directly to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's primary consumer protection authority, and cite the Fair Trading Act.

How to cancel Jobscan in new zealand

Jobscan handles cancellations and refunds exclusively via email, with no phone support or chat option available.

Step-by-step cancellation via email

1. Log in to your Jobscan account at jobscan.co with your email and password.
   • If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" on the login screen, check your email inbox, and follow the password reset link.
2. Navigate to your Account settings (usually a gear icon or "Settings" in the top-right menu).
   • Look for a "Subscription," "Billing," or "Plan" section.
3. Note your current subscription plan, renewal date, and any outstanding balance. Take a screenshot for your records.
   • This information will be useful when you email Jobscan support.
4. Open your email client and compose a new message to Jobscan's support team at [email protected].
   • Subject line: "Request to cancel Jobscan subscription"
   • Include your full name, email address linked to your account, and your current subscription plan.
   • State clearly: "I request to cancel my Jobscan subscription effective immediately."
   • If you want to request a refund, explain briefly why (for example, "The service does not meet my job search needs" or "I have accepted a new role").
   • Keep the email concise and professional - avoid emotional language.
5. Send the email and keep a copy in your Sent folder for proof of cancellation.
   • Jobscan should respond within 2-3 business days.
6. When you receive a response, check whether Jobscan has confirmed the cancellation and whether any refund is being processed.
   • Ask for a cancellation confirmation email that includes the date your access ends.
   • If a refund is approved, note the expected refund date and amount.
7. Verify that your account no longer charges on the next billing cycle by logging in 24 hours later.
   • Your subscription status should show "Cancelled" or "Inactive."

No cancellation portal on jobscan's website

Unlike many SaaS platforms, Jobscan does not offer an automated "Cancel Subscription" button in your account dashboard. You must contact support via email to initiate cancellation. This means there is no self-service cancellation option, and you cannot cancel instantly.

Tocancel recommends sending your cancellation email during New Zealand business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm NZST) to receive a faster response, though Jobscan operates in the United States and may take 24-72 hours to reply.

Refunds and what to expect after you cancel

After you cancel, understand when you lose access and whether you'll receive a refund.

When you lose access to Jobscan

Once Jobscan confirms your cancellation, your access typically ends on the last day of your current billing period. If you cancel mid-month with a monthly plan, you will usually retain access until the end of that month. If you cancel with a quarterly plan, you retain access until the end of the quarter.

Jobscan will confirm your access end date in its cancellation response email. Log in to your account several days after cancellation to verify your access status.

Refund eligibility and timeline

Jobscan does not advertise a standard refund window. Refunds are assessed on a case-by-case basis and depend on how recently you were charged. If you cancel within 7-14 days of your last payment, you have a reasonable chance of receiving a refund or service credit.

If you are denied a refund and believe Jobscan's service was faulty or misrepresented, cite the Consumer Guarantees Act in your follow-up email and ask Jobscan to reconsider. If Jobscan refuses, contact the Commerce Commission and lodge a formal complaint - Tocancel recommends keeping all email correspondence as evidence.

What happens to your data after cancellation

After you cancel, Jobscan will deactivate your account and you will lose access to your saved resumes, LinkedIn scans, and job tracking history. Download or export any documents you wish to keep before your access ends.

Contact Jobscan support via email if you need help exporting your data before cancellation is finalised.

Common mistakes when cancelling Jobscan

Cancelling a subscription can feel stressful, especially when you're juggling a job search. Here are the pitfalls Tocancel sees most often so you can avoid them.

Waiting too close to your renewal date

If you email Jobscan your cancellation request on the same day as your billing cycle, the company may not process your request in time to prevent the next charge. Email at least 5-7 days before your renewal date to allow processing time.

Not requesting a refund explicitly

Jobscan will not automatically refund you unless you ask. When you submit your cancellation email, include a separate sentence: "I also request a refund for charges in the last 14 days." Be specific about your refund request - do not assume Jobscan will offer one unprompted.

Forgetting to confirm cancellation

After Jobscan replies to your cancellation email, check your account dashboard within 24 hours to verify your subscription status shows "Cancelled." Some users receive a confirmation email but find their account is still active. If your account remains active, follow up immediately.

Not keeping proof of cancellation

Save every email exchange with Jobscan support. If you are charged after cancellation, you will need this correspondence to dispute the charge with your bank or request a chargeback. Tocancel recommends taking screenshots of your account status before and after cancellation as well.

How to escalate if Jobscan refuses to cancel

If Jobscan ignores your cancellation request or refuses to process it without legitimate reason, you have legal remedies available in New Zealand.

Contact the commerce commission

The Commerce Commission is New Zealand's independent consumer authority and enforces the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act. If Jobscan breaches your statutory rights or engages in unfair contract terms, you can lodge a complaint with the Commission.

Visit www.comcom.govt.nz to lodge a complaint online. Include copies of all emails with Jobscan and explain why you believe the company has breached your consumer rights.

Dispute the charge with your bank

If Jobscan continues to charge you after you've requested cancellation, contact your New Zealand bank and request a chargeback or dispute. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation emails and account screenshots as evidence. Your bank has a legal duty to investigate and can reverse unauthorised charges.

Consider a formal letter

If Jobscan does not respond to email, send a formal cancellation letter via email with read receipt enabled. State that you are cancelling your subscription effective immediately and request written confirmation within 10 business days. This creates a paper trail that strengthens any future complaint to the Commerce Commission.

Checklist before and after you cancel

Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is complete and your rights are protected.

Key takeaways and next steps

Cancelling Jobscan in New Zealand requires you to email [email protected] - there is no online cancellation button. New Zealand law protects your right to cancel and refunds if the service was faulty or misrepresented, under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Send your cancellation email 5-7 days before your renewal date, request a refund explicitly, and keep copies of all correspondence.

If Jobscan refuses to cancel or continues to charge you, escalate to the Commerce Commission or dispute the charge with your bank. Your consumer rights are statutory and cannot be contracted away by Jobscan's terms of service.
