Cancel Antares: The Right Way to Do It

How to cancel your Antares account in singapore: your complete step-by-step guide

What Antares is and why you might want to cancel

Antares is a cloud-based marketing platform that helps e-commerce businesses and marketers manage, optimise and automate their campaigns from a single dashboard. You access it through your web browser, where you set up campaigns, view analytics, segment audiences and automate workflows all in one place.

You may have signed up to test whether Antares would improve your marketing efficiency, but if the platform doesn't align with your workflow, costs too much for your current needs or hasn't delivered the results you expected, cancelling is straightforward once you follow the right steps. This guide walks you through every stage of the cancellation process so you can act with confidence.

How Antares operates

When you create an Antares account, you gain access to a web-based dashboard where you control your marketing campaigns and subscription. The service runs on a monthly or annual billing cycle, and charges hit your registered payment method automatically on each renewal date unless you formally cancel beforehand.

A critical point many users miss: simply logging out, deleting browser bookmarks or ignoring your Antares account will not stop the charges. You must complete the official cancellation process through the platform itself to halt billing. This distinction is why so many people continue paying for services they no longer use.

Why cancelling on time matters

If you stop using Antares but leave your subscription active, automatic renewal will charge you again at your next billing date. The longer you delay, the more unused charges accumulate on your account. Taking action before your renewal date is one of the fastest ways to protect your budget and reclaim money that would otherwise disappear.

Tocancel specialises in helping Singapore consumers identify active subscriptions they've forgotten about and cancel them before the next charge posts. Once you understand your rights and the cancellation process, you regain full control over what you pay for.

Your consumer rights in singapore under the consumer protection act

Singapore's consumer protection laws give you specific rights when dealing with subscription services, and understanding these rights is your strongest negotiating position.

What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act protects

Your legal position is this: the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you against misleading claims and unfair contract terms. If Antares made false statements about how to cancel, promised automatic refunds or misrepresented what the cooling-off period covers, those violations are actionable against the company.

Antares states in its standard terms that software purchases are final and do not qualify for a statutory 14-day cooling-off period. However, this blanket restriction does not override your statutory rights if you can prove the service was not delivered as promised or if your subscription was activated without your informed, explicit consent. The law still protects you from deceptive conduct, even if the company's terms say otherwise.

Your escalation rights if Antares refuses to cancel

If Antares fails to stop billing after you request cancellation, or if the company refuses to respond to your cancellation request, you have two powerful legal remedies:

• Initiate a chargeback or dispute through your bank or credit card issuer. Singapore's banking regulations allow you up to 120 days from the charge date to challenge unauthorised or incorrectly processed transactions.
• File a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at www.case.org.sg or telephone them at 6100 0315 for free mediation, advice and investigation support.

Tocancel recommends keeping detailed records of every cancellation attempt, including screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, support ticket numbers, date and time stamps, and any email confirmations you receive. This documentation becomes essential if you need to escalate a dispute with your bank or lodge a complaint with CASE.

How to cancel your Antares account: step-by-step instructions

Cancelling your Antares subscription requires you to follow the official process through your account settings to ensure billing stops on your next renewal date.

Step-by-step cancellation process

1. Log into your Antares account using your registered email address and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page and follow the reset email sent to your registered email address.
2. Navigate to your account settings by clicking the profile icon or account menu (usually located in the top right corner of the dashboard).
   • Look for options labelled "Settings", "Billing", "Subscription" or "Account Preferences".
3. Select the "Billing" or "Subscription" section from the settings menu.
   • This section displays your current plan, renewal date, payment method and billing history.
4. Locate the "Cancel Subscription" or "Downgrade Plan" button within the billing section.
   • If you do not see a cancellation option in your account, contact Antares support directly and request to cancel in writing via email.
5. Click the cancellation button and confirm your intention to cancel when prompted.
   • The system may offer you a discounted plan or ask why you are leaving. You can skip these prompts and proceed with cancellation.
   • Antares may ask for feedback about your experience. Providing honest feedback is optional but can help the company improve its service.
6. Screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation page and note the confirmation number, date and time.
   • Your account status should immediately change to "Cancelled" or "Pending Cancellation". You may retain access to your data until your current billing period ends.
   • If no confirmation appears, wait 2-3 minutes and refresh the page, or contact support to verify the cancellation was processed.
7. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Antares.
   • Save this email in a dedicated folder for your records. This email is your proof of cancellation if billing disputes arise later.

Contacting Antares support directly

If you cannot locate the cancellation option in your account settings or the online process fails, you must contact Antares support to cancel in writing. This creates a documented record of your cancellation request, which is essential if the company continues billing after you have explicitly asked them to stop.

When you contact Antares, include your full name, registered email address, account ID (if you have it), current subscription plan, renewal date and a clear statement: "I request to cancel my Antares subscription effective immediately." Send this via email to the support address listed on the Antares website or your invoice, and ask for written confirmation of the cancellation.

What happens after you cancel your Antares account

Understanding what to expect in the days and weeks following cancellation helps you avoid panic and take swift action if problems emerge.

Your access and data after cancellation

When you cancel, your access to the Antares platform typically remains open until your current billing period ends. This means if you cancel mid-month, you can still use the service until the end of that month at no extra charge. After the final billing period expires, you lose access to your account, and your data may be retained or deleted according to Antares' privacy policy.

Before cancellation takes effect, download or export any campaign data, reports or audience lists you need to keep. Many e-commerce businesses use this final period to transition their campaigns to a different platform or archive important performance records.

Verify that billing has truly stopped

After your cancellation period expires, monitor your bank statements or credit card transactions for the next 30-60 days. If Antares charges you again, this is a billing error and you have strong grounds for a chargeback dispute. Many consumers discover that companies continue billing months after a cancellation request, so vigilance pays off.

Check your email for any renewal notice from Antares before your final billing date. If you receive a surprise charge after your cancellation should have taken effect, contact your bank immediately and notify Antares support with screenshots of your cancellation confirmation.

Refunds and billing timelines explained

Your entitlement to a refund depends on when you cancel relative to your current billing cycle and what Antares' official refund policy allows.

Refund eligibility in singapore

Antares' standard terms state that all sales are final and refunds are not available for unused time remaining in your billing period. However, this policy is subject to Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which means you may still qualify for a refund if you can demonstrate the service was defective, never delivered as promised or activated without your proper consent.

If you paid for a monthly subscription and cancel on day 5 of a 30-day cycle, Antares will typically not refund the unused 25 days under its stated policy. However, if the platform was down for an extended period, failed to provide core features you paid for or made false claims about what you would receive, you have grounds to request a refund as compensation for breach of contract.

Refund timeline if approved

If Antares approves your refund request, the credit typically appears in your original payment method within 5-10 business days. If you paid by credit card, the refund posts as a credit to your card account. If you paid by bank transfer or GIRO, the refund returns to your registered bank account.

Keep records of the refund amount, date you requested it and confirmation from Antares that the refund was approved. If the refund does not appear within 15 business days, contact your bank to investigate why the money has not arrived.

Antares pricing and billing structure

Understanding what you are paying for helps you decide whether to stay, switch to a cheaper tier or cancel entirely.

If you are on an annual plan, your renewal date is one year from your sign-up date. If you are on a monthly plan, your renewal date occurs on the same day each month. Check your invoice or account settings to confirm your exact renewal date so you can cancel before that date arrives if you wish to avoid the next charge.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Many people attempt to cancel but end up still paying because they miss a critical step or misunderstand how the cancellation process works. Here are the traps that catch most users.

Mistake 1: assuming uninstalling the app stops billing

If you accessed Antares through a desktop app or mobile app and then deleted the app from your device, the subscription does not automatically cancel. Removing the app simply removes your local access, but your account remains active and your subscription renews as scheduled. You must cancel through the official website or contact support to actually stop the charges.

Mistake 2: failing to get written confirmation

If you cancel by phone or live chat without requesting a follow-up email confirmation, you have no documented proof that you made the request. If Antares continues billing and you dispute the charge, the company can claim you never asked to cancel. Always insist on written confirmation via email, screenshot the cancellation page in your account, and keep these records indefinitely.

Mistake 3: cancelling too late in the billing cycle

Some users cancel only after noticing the charge on their bank statement, which is too late for that month's subscription. The charge has already posted and the next renewal will occur unless you cancel immediately. Cancel before your renewal date, not after it has already hit your account.

Mistake 4: not checking for hidden auto-renewal clauses

If you signed up for a free trial, some platforms automatically convert to a paid subscription if you do not explicitly cancel before the trial period ends. Verify whether your Antares account was activated with an auto-renewal clause, and set a calendar reminder 2-3 days before the trial ends as a backup alarm to cancel before the conversion.

Mistake 5: ignoring emails from Antares after cancellation

After you cancel, Antares may send you re-engagement offers, "win back" discounts or other promotional emails. Ignoring these emails leaves you vulnerable because you might accidentally click an offer and restart your subscription without realising it. Unsubscribe from Antares marketing emails and mark promotional messages as spam so they do not distract you.

How to dispute a charge with your bank if Antares continues billing

If Antares charges you after you have cancelled, or if you believe the charge was unauthorised, your bank is your most powerful tool for recovering the money.

File a chargeback through your bank

Contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and explain that you cancelled your Antares subscription but the company continued billing without authorisation. Provide the bank with copies of your cancellation confirmation, screenshots of your account showing the cancellation date, and any emails confirming the cancellation.

Singapore's banking regulations allow you up to 120 days from the charge date to dispute unauthorised or incorrectly processed transactions. Your bank investigates the claim and will typically reverse the charge within 15-30 business days if your evidence is clear. The burden then shifts to Antares to prove the charge was authorised, which they cannot do if you have documented cancellation proof.

Lodge a complaint with CASE for additional protection

If you believe Antares engaged in unfair trading practices by continuing to charge you after cancellation, the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) can investigate and mediate on your behalf. File a complaint online at www.case.org.sg, by phone at 6100 0315 or in writing to their office.

CASE will contact Antares and request a response to your complaint. If Antares fails to cooperate or refuses to refund you, CASE can escalate the matter and potentially pursue enforcement action. This avenue is free and does not require you to hire a lawyer.
