Cancel Lickd: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel Lickd and protect your music licensing budget in the philippines

Understanding Lickd and why creators in the philippines use it

Lickd is a music licensing subscription platform designed for video creators who need legally cleared tracks for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms without the risk of copyright strikes or takedowns. Instead of facing channel suspension or content removal, you pay a monthly subscription to access premium licensed music and unlimited royalty-free tracks. The service removes the uncertainty-you create with confidence, knowing your content has full copyright protection.

Lickd Ltd operates from its registered office at 66 Old Compton Street, London W1D 4UH, United Kingdom. For creators in the Philippines, the service offers pricing in US dollars, though your bank or payment provider may apply conversion rates to Philippine pesos.

How the subscription model works for creators in the philippines

When you sign up for Lickd, you receive a free 14-day trial period. This trial automatically converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial expires. The company sends you a reminder email 7 days before your trial ends, giving you advance notice of the upcoming charge. Many creators in the Philippines, however, miss this notification or do not realize that automatic renewal happens unless they take deliberate action to stop it.

Paid plans offer tiered Premium Track credits (monthly allowances for high-charting, commercially released music) plus unlimited royalty-free tracks. The Starter plan provides 1 Premium Track credit per month; the Plus plan offers 2 credits; the Pro plan includes 4 credits. All plans come with copyright claim protection on the content you produce. Importantly, unused credits expire when your billing cycle ends after cancellation, so timing your cancellation decision matters for your budget.

Pricing and currency conversion for philippine creators

Lickd publishes all prices in US dollars. Monthly plans typically start around 22.99 USD, which converts to approximately 1,299 Philippine pesos at current exchange rates. However, Lickd adjusts pricing based on your channel size and average video views, meaning larger creators may pay higher monthly fees. The company does not publish a fixed pricing schedule for the Philippines, which can make budgeting difficult. Before attempting to cancel, take screenshots of your plan, billing date, and the amount charged-Tocancel recommends keeping this evidence in case you need to dispute a charge or file a complaint later.

Your consumer rights under philippine law

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) gives you clear protection when dealing with subscriptions and recurring charges.

What the consumer act of the philippines requires from Lickd

Under Republic Act No. 7394, subscription services must clearly disclose all auto-renewal terms before you are charged, honor cancellation requests without unreasonable delays, and refund charges that violate your consumer rights. Your legal position is straightforward: if Lickd fails to process your cancellation, continues charging you after you cancel, or makes the cancellation process deliberately difficult or hidden, the company is breaching consumer law.

The Consumer Act requires that any automatic renewal be cancelled easily and at no cost to you. If Lickd's cancellation interface is unclear, buried on their website, or fails to process your request, that constitutes an unfair or deceptive practice under Philippine law. You have the right to demand that your cancellation be honored immediately.

How to escalate a complaint to the department of trade and industry

If Lickd charges you money after you cancel, fails to acknowledge your cancellation request, or continues billing despite your clear instructions to stop, you can file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in the Philippines. The DTI is the government agency responsible for enforcing consumer protection laws and investigating subscription disputes.

Contact the DTI at dti.gov.ph or visit your local DTI office in person. Provide your account details, cancellation date, screenshot evidence of your cancellation request, and proof of any charges after you cancelled. The DTI has the power to investigate Lickd's practices and order a refund if the company violated your rights. Keep all emails, transaction records, and screenshots-this documentation is your evidence.

Your right to refund unused services

Under Philippine consumer law, you can request a refund for any fees charged after you submitted a valid cancellation request. If Lickd charged your account on the same day you cancelled or within a few hours, you have the right to dispute that charge. Document the exact time and date you clicked cancel, and compare it to your bank or credit card statement to show when the charge was processed. If Lickd cannot prove it processed your cancellation before the charge, you may recover that amount through the DTI or your payment provider's chargeback process.

How to cancel Lickd before your next charge

Cancellation works differently depending on which channel you used to subscribe-the Lickd website, Apple App Store, or Google Play.

Cancel Lickd if you subscribed on the Lickd website

If you signed up directly on lickd.com, you must cancel on their website using the same account email address. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Lickd account at lickd.com using your email and password.
   • If you forgot your password, click "Forgot password" and reset it before proceeding.
2. Go to your account settings or billing page (usually found in the top-right menu under your profile name).
   • Look for an option labeled "Subscription," "Billing," "Plans," or "Account Settings."
3. Find the "Cancel subscription" or "Downgrade" button on your subscription details page.
   • Read the confirmation message carefully to ensure you understand your cancellation date.
4. Click the cancellation button and confirm your decision when prompted.
   • Lickd may offer a discount to keep you subscribed-ignore this if you are certain you want to cancel.
5. Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page showing today's date and your cancellation effective date.
   • This screenshot is your proof of cancellation; save it to your device or cloud storage.
6. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Lickd within 24 hours.
   • If you do not receive this email, log back in to confirm the cancellation was processed.

Your access to Premium Tracks ends on your cancellation effective date. You can still download or export any content you created during your subscription period, but you lose access to new Premium Tracks after that date.

Cancel Lickd if you subscribed through apple app store

If you signed up using an Apple device (iPhone or iPad) and your subscription appears in your Apple ID billing, you must cancel through Apple, not through Lickd's website. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • If you use a Mac, open System Settings instead.
2. Tap your name at the top of the settings menu.
   • This opens your Apple ID account page.
3. Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
   • You see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
4. Find "Lickd" in the subscriptions list and tap it.
   • If you do not see Lickd, ensure you are scrolling through all active subscriptions.
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the page.
   • Apple displays your cancellation effective date (usually the end of your current billing period).
6. Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
   • Apple sends you an email confirmation; save this as proof of cancellation.

Cancelling through Apple removes Lickd from your App Store subscriptions immediately. Your paid access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, after which you lose access to Premium Tracks. Make sure you cancel before your next billing date to avoid an unwanted charge.

Cancel Lickd if you subscribed through google play

If you signed up using an Android device and your subscription is managed through Google Play, you must cancel through Google, not through Lickd's website. Follow these steps:

1. Open Google Play on your Android device.
   • Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
2. Select "Subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
   • You see all active subscriptions attached to your Google account.
3. Tap "Lickd" to open your subscription details page.
   • If Lickd does not appear, scroll down to see all subscriptions or search for it.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the page.
   • Google displays the cancellation effective date and any refund eligibility.
5. Select your reason for cancellation from the dropdown menu (optional).
   • Google collects this feedback but it does not affect your cancellation.
6. Confirm your cancellation by tapping "Cancel subscription" again.
   • Google sends you an email receipt; keep this as proof.

Your access to Lickd Premium Tracks continues until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, your subscription ends and you lose access to paid features. Google Play does not charge you again after cancellation.

After you cancel: what happens next

Cancelling Lickd does not mean instant loss of access-your paid plan continues until the end of your current billing cycle.

Your access timeline after cancellation

When you cancel, Lickd processes your request immediately, but your paid access does not end right away. You can continue using Premium Tracks and copyright protection until your current billing period expires. For example, if you are billed on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 20th, you keep full access until the 14th of the following month. On the 15th, no new charge appears, and your access to Premium Tracks stops.

During your remaining paid access time, download or save any content you created using Premium Tracks. After cancellation takes effect, you can no longer use those licensed tracks in new videos, though your existing published content remains protected.

What to do if Lickd charges you after cancellation

If your bank or credit card statement shows a charge from Lickd after your cancellation effective date, take immediate action. First, log into your Lickd account (or your App Store or Google Play account) to confirm the cancellation was processed. If the cancellation shows as active but Lickd still charged you, contact Lickd support with your evidence and request an immediate refund. Use Tocancel as a resource to track your dispute-document every email, screenshot, and response.

If Lickd refuses to refund you within 14 days, file a chargeback with your bank or credit card company. Provide your cancellation proof and the unwanted charge as evidence. Most financial institutions will reverse the charge if you prove you cancelled before the billing date. Simultaneously, file a complaint with the DTI at dti.gov.ph, attaching your cancellation confirmation and the disputed charge statement.

Pricing comparison for philippine creators

Before you cancel, review what you are paying and whether it makes sense for your content volume.

Prices in Philippine pesos are estimates based on current exchange rates and may change depending on your bank's conversion fee. If you publish fewer than 4 videos per month using premium music, the Starter plan may be sufficient. If you publish more frequently, the Pro plan offers better value per track. Cancel if your content schedule has changed or if your budget no longer supports the monthly cost.

Common mistakes when cancelling Lickd

Cancelling a subscription can be frustrating, especially when you are trying to save money-but these mistakes can leave you charged even after you think you have cancelled.

Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place

The most common error is cancelling on the Lickd website when you actually subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play. When you do this, Lickd's website shows you cancelled, but Apple or Google continues charging you because your subscription is managed there, not on Lickd's servers. Your cancellation did not work. Always cancel in the same channel where you started your subscription. If you are unsure which channel you used, check your bank or credit card statement to see whether the charge comes from Lickd, Apple, or Google. Tocancel recommends logging into each platform (Lickd website, Apple ID, and Google Play) to confirm where your subscription is actually active.

Mistake 2: not taking cancellation proof screenshots

If Lickd disputes your cancellation or charges you again after you cancelled, you need proof that you requested the cancellation. A screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page with today's date visible is your best evidence. Without this screenshot, Lickd can claim they never received your cancellation request. Take a screenshot immediately after you click cancel, showing the confirmation message and the date. Save it to your phone or cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, or iCloud) so you cannot lose it.

Mistake 3: cancelling too late in your billing cycle

If you cancel just hours before your billing date, Lickd may still process your next charge before your cancellation takes effect. Most subscription systems process payments automatically at midnight on your billing date. If you cancel at 11 p.m. on the 14th and your billing date is the 15th, the charge may still go through. Cancel at least 2 to 3 days before your next billing date to ensure the cancellation is fully processed. If you miss this window, contact Tocancel's guides or the DTI immediately after the unwanted charge appears.

Mistake 4: ignoring the auto-renewal reminder email

Lickd sends you an email 7 days before your trial or subscription renews. If you receive this email and decide you want to cancel, act immediately-do not wait. Waiting until the day of the charge makes it harder to dispute if something goes wrong. Open the email, click any cancellation link if provided, and log into your Lickd account to complete the cancellation. Deleting the email without taking action guarantees you will be charged.

How to request a refund from Lickd

If you cancel within a reasonable time and Lickd still charges you, you can request a refund based on Philippine consumer law.

Requesting a refund through Lickd support

First, contact Lickd support directly with your cancellation proof. Email Lickd's support team (support contact details are typically found on their website or in your account settings) with the following information:

• Your Lickd account email address
• The date you cancelled your subscription
• A screenshot of your cancellation confirmation
• The date and amount of the charge you want refunded
• Your bank account or payment method details for the refund

Keep your email professional and factual. State clearly: "I cancelled my subscription on [date] as shown in the attached screenshot. Your company charged me on [date] in violation of Philippine consumer law. Please refund this charge within 14 days." Give Lickd 14 days to respond. If they refuse or ignore your request, escalate to the DTI or file a chargeback with your bank.

Filing a chargeback if Lickd will not refund you

If Lickd denies your refund request, you can dispute the charge directly with your bank or credit card company. Contact your financial institution and explain that you cancelled your subscription before the charge was processed. Provide your cancellation screenshot and the disputed charge statement. The bank will investigate and typically reverse the charge within 7 to 10 business days if your evidence is clear. This is your legal right under Philippine banking regulations.

Escalating to the department of trade and industry

If Lickd continues charging you after multiple cancellation attempts, file a formal complaint with the DTI. Visit dti.gov.ph or your local DTI office and provide:

• Your account details and subscription history
• All cancellation confirmation screenshots
• Bank statements showing unauthorized charges
• Copies of all emails between you and Lickd support

The DTI can investigate Lickd's cancellation practices and order a refund if the company is in violation. Tocancel recommends keeping organized records of everything-the DTI process moves faster when you present clear, documented evidence of the problem.

Should you cancel Lickd? a creator's checklist

Use this checklist to decide whether cancelling Lickd makes sense for your situation.

If you answered YES to more than two questions, cancelling or downgrading to a lower-tier plan makes financial sense. If you answered NO to most questions, keep your subscription active. If you are uncertain, try pausing your subscription for one month to see whether you miss the service-some subscription providers offer temporary suspensions as an alternative to full cancellation.

Reviews and alternatives to Lickd

Before you cancel, consider whether another music licensing service better suits your needs and budget.

How Lickd compares to other services

If you primarily use royalty-free tracks, Epidemic Sound or YouTube's free library may be cheaper. If you need premium music regularly, Lickd offers more credits than some competitors at a similar price point. Use Tocancel to compare cancellation policies as well-a cheaper service that makes cancellation difficult is not a bargain. Before switching, ensure the new platform allows you to cancel easily and refunds unused credits, just as Philippine consumer law requires Lickd to do.

Contacting Lickd to cancel

Lickd Ltd is registered in the United Kingdom and does not have a physical office in the Philippines, but you can reach them through their website or app.

Your path forward

Cancelling Lickd takes only minutes if you use the correct method for your subscription channel. You own the decision to cancel-whether for budget reasons, reduced content output, or simply switching to another service. Know your rights under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, document your cancellation, and do not hesitate to file a complaint with the DTI if Lickd charges you after you cancel. Tocancel recommends taking a final screenshot of your cancellation confirmation and saving it for at least 3 months after the cancellation takes effect, in case you need to dispute a surprise charge. You can cancel with confidence.
