How to cancel Confluence in singapore and protect your workspace data
What is Confluence and why your team might need to cancel
Confluence is a cloud-based workspace built by Atlassian for teams to create, organise, and share documents, meeting notes, product specifications, and institutional knowledge in one centralised location. Your organisation may use it to integrate with Jira, manage onboarding documentation, or store internal procedures across multiple site deployments.
If your team no longer needs real-time collaboration features, your budget has tightened, or you have migrated to a competing platform, cancelling your Confluence subscription is your right. This guide walks you through the cancellation process in Singapore and explains your consumer protections under local law.
Who holds the subscription and who can cancel it
Your Confluence subscription is managed through the Atlassian Cloud admin portal. Only users with Billing admin, Org admin, or Site admin permissions can initiate cancellation. If you do not hold one of these roles, contact your workspace administrator to either cancel on your behalf or grant you the required permissions.
Confirm your admin status before proceeding to cancel, as non-admin accounts will not have access to the billing section.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when purchasing software services like Confluence. You have the legal right to cancel if the service fails to meet agreed terms, contains hidden charges, or lacks transparent billing disclosure. Understanding these rights empowers you to push back if Atlassian refuses to honour your cancellation request.
Your legal position and what it means
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, Atlassian must disclose all charges, cancellation penalties, and data retention policies clearly before you complete your purchase. If these terms were not visible, misleading, or buried in fine print, you have grounds to dispute them. The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) acts as the enforcement body and can mediate disputes if Atlassian refuses to cooperate.
Your legal position is straightforward: you can cancel, and Atlassian must acknowledge your request within a reasonable timeframe and process it without unreasonable delay. Tocancel recommends documenting every cancellation request in writing-email is sufficient-and keeping records of all responses.
Refund limits and atlassian's standard policy
Atlassian enforces a restrictive refund window: monthly plans offer refunds only within the first paid month; annual plans allow refunds within 30 days of payment. Beyond these windows, Atlassian typically denies refunds. While Singapore's consumer laws do not override these contractual limits, they do require Atlassian to disclose them clearly at the point of purchase.
If Atlassian failed to display this refund policy before you subscribed, you have a stronger case to request an exception refund. Tocancel advises reviewing your original purchase confirmation email or invoice to verify whether the refund terms were disclosed.
Cancellation methods available to you
You can cancel Confluence through the official Atlassian Cloud admin portal, or through third-party platforms if you purchased add-ons or extensions separately. Each method has different timelines and confirmation processes.
Primary method: cancel via the atlassian cloud admin portal
The Atlassian Cloud admin portal is the official, fastest, and most direct route to cancel your Confluence subscription. You gain real-time control, immediate email confirmation, and a clear audit trail of your cancellation request. This method is preferred by Tocancel because it minimises delays and eliminates intermediaries.
Use this method if you subscribe directly to Confluence through Atlassian's website. You will need your Billing admin credentials and access to the admin portal.
Cancelling marketplace add-ons and third-party subscriptions
If you purchased Confluence add-ons, extensions, or related subscriptions through the Atlassian Marketplace, Apple App Store, or Google Play, you must cancel through those individual platforms separately. Each has its own cancellation process, refund window, and confirmation procedure. Tocancel recommends handling these cancellations first, then proceeding with your main Confluence plan cancellation.
Check your billing history to identify which platform charged you for each add-on or extension, then cancel through that specific platform.
How to cancel your Confluence subscription step by step
Follow this exact sequence to cancel your Confluence subscription without delays or accidental renewals. Each step is time-sensitive and must be completed in order to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly.
Cancellation via the atlassian cloud admin portal
- Open your web browser and navigate to admin.atlassian.com
- Log in using the email and password associated with your Billing admin, Org admin, or Site admin account.
- If you see a "Permission Denied" message, you do not have the required role. Contact your primary admin to grant billing access.
- Select Billing from the left-hand navigation menu
- If Billing is greyed out or does not appear, your account lacks the required permissions. Request access from your primary workspace admin before proceeding.
- Click on the Confluence subscription listed under Active Subscriptions or Products
- If you have multiple Confluence instances or sites, select the specific one you wish to cancel.
- Locate the Cancel subscription button or option (typically at the bottom of the subscription details page)
- Read the confirmation message carefully. Atlassian will outline refund eligibility and data retention timelines before you proceed.
- Click Confirm cancellation or similar confirmation button
- Atlassian will send a confirmation email within minutes to your registered account email address.
- Your workspace will remain accessible until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, you will lose access and data may be archived or deleted according to Atlassian's retention policy.
- Download or export your workspace data before the access cutoff date
- Tocancel strongly recommends exporting all critical pages, documents, and attachments as backups. Atlassian retains data for a limited period after cancellation, but permanent deletion is not guaranteed.
Cancelling through apple app store or google play
If you purchased Confluence access or add-ons through a mobile app store, follow these steps.
- Apple App Store: Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Subscriptions.
- Find the Confluence or Atlassian-related subscription and tap Edit.
- Select Cancel Subscription and confirm.
- Google Play: Open Google Play on an Android device or visit play.google.com
- Go to your account settings, then Subscriptions.
- Select the Confluence or Atlassian subscription and tap Cancel subscription.
- Confirm your cancellation request.
- Save your cancellation confirmation email
- Both platforms send instant confirmation emails. Keep these records for your own documentation.
What happens after you cancel Confluence
Cancelling Confluence is not instantaneous; your workspace will remain accessible until the end of your current billing cycle. During this transition period, your data remains viewable, but you should export critical content immediately to avoid loss.
Data access and retention after cancellation
After you submit your cancellation request, Atlassian typically grants you continued access until midnight on the last day of your current billing cycle. For example, if you cancel mid-cycle on a monthly plan, you retain access until the end of that month. During this window, export or download all pages, attachments, meeting notes, and documentation that your team needs to preserve.
After the access period expires, Atlassian will archive your workspace data for 30 days. You can request reactivation or data export within this 30-day window by contacting Atlassian support. After 30 days, your data is permanently deleted.
Confirming your cancellation was processed
Check your email inbox (including spam or promotion folders) for a confirmation message from Atlassian within 24 hours of your cancellation request. This email will confirm the cancellation date, your final billing date, and access termination details. If you do not receive this email, log back into the admin portal to verify the subscription status shows as Cancelled.
If your subscription still appears Active after 24 hours, contact Atlassian support immediately with your cancellation request details. Tocancel recommends keeping screenshots or copies of your cancellation request for evidence.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Confluence
It is frustrating to cancel only to discover your account was not truly deactivated or your data was lost unnecessarily. Tocancel has identified the most common errors customers make during cancellation and how to prevent them.
Mistake 1: cancelling without exporting your data first
Your workspace will remain accessible for up to 30 days after cancellation, but you have no guarantee Atlassian will store it longer. Download all critical pages, documents, and attachments immediately upon cancellation. Use Confluence's built-in export feature (usually under Tools or Administration) to create a backup in PDF, Word, or HTML format.
Mistake 2: assuming payment will stop automatically
Cancellation does not always stop future billing immediately. If you cancel mid-cycle, Atlassian will charge you through the end of the current billing period. Monitor your credit card or bank statement for one full month after cancellation to confirm no additional charges appear. If you see unexpected charges, dispute them immediately with your bank and contact Atlassian support.
Mistake 3: not confirming admin permissions before attempting cancellation
Only Billing admin, Org admin, and Site admin accounts can cancel subscriptions. If you attempt cancellation with a standard user account, you will see a Permission Denied error. Verify your role in the admin portal before starting the cancellation process. If you lack the required role, ask your primary admin to either cancel on your behalf or temporarily grant you billing access.
Mistake 4: forgetting to cancel related add-ons and marketplace subscriptions
Cancelling your main Confluence subscription does not automatically cancel add-ons or extensions purchased through the Atlassian Marketplace or mobile app stores. Each must be cancelled separately. Review your billing history to identify all active subscriptions, then cancel each one individually. Tocancel recommends creating a checklist of all subscriptions before you start the cancellation process.
Mistake 5: not keeping written records of your cancellation request
If a billing dispute arises, you need proof that you submitted a cancellation request. Save the confirmation email from Atlassian, take screenshots of the cancellation confirmation page, and note the exact date and time you submitted your request. This documentation protects you if Atlassian claims they never received your cancellation.
When to escalate your cancellation to CASE
If Atlassian refuses to cancel your subscription, denies a refund you believe you are entitled to, or fails to respond to your cancellation request within 7 days, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
Filing a complaint with CASE
Contact CASE through their website (case.org.sg) or call 1800 6 CASE (2273) to lodge a formal complaint. Provide CASE with your original purchase confirmation, your written cancellation request, copies of all emails to Atlassian support, and a summary of Atlassian's response (or lack thereof). CASE will attempt mediation between you and Atlassian at no cost to you.
If mediation fails, CASE can escalate your complaint to the relevant regulatory authority. This process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks but often results in refunds or service corrections that Atlassian initially refused.
Your right to escalate is backed by law; Atlassian cannot penalise you for filing a consumer complaint.

Frequently asked questions about cancelling Confluence in singapore
Can i cancel Confluence if i do not have billing admin permissions
No. Only users with Billing admin, Org admin, or Site admin permissions can cancel a Confluence subscription. If you do not hold one of these roles, contact your workspace administrator and request that they either cancel on your behalf or grant you temporary billing access. Document this request in writing for future reference.
How long does it take for Confluence to fully deactivate after i cancel
Your workspace will remain accessible until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, Atlassian will archive your data for 30 days. If you need to reactivate or export data after deactivation, you can request this within the 30-day retention window. After 30 days, your data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
Am i entitled to a refund if i cancel within the first month
Yes, if you cancel within 30 days of your initial payment. Atlassian offers a 30-day refund window for new subscriptions. If you paid on Day 1 and cancel on Day 20, you are eligible for a full refund. If you cancel on Day 31, you are not eligible. Check your invoice date to confirm your refund eligibility window.
What if atlassian refuses to process my cancellation
Document your cancellation request in writing (email is sufficient) and Atlassian's response. Give Atlassian 7 days to process your cancellation. If they refuse without justification or do not respond, file a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE will mediate on your behalf at no cost to you. Your consumer rights under Singapore law protect you in this situation.
Do i need to cancel add-ons separately, or does cancelling Confluence cancel everything
You must cancel add-ons and marketplace subscriptions separately. Cancelling your main Confluence plan does not automatically terminate extensions, integrations, or third-party services purchased through the Atlassian Marketplace or mobile app stores. Review your billing history and cancel each one individually to avoid surprise charges.
Summary and your next steps
Cancelling Confluence in Singapore is your consumer right, and the process is straightforward when you follow the correct sequence. Your legal protections under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act ensure that Atlassian must honour your cancellation request, disclose refund terms clearly, and process your request within a reasonable timeframe.
Your next step is to verify that you hold Billing admin permissions, then log into the Atlassian Cloud admin portal to initiate your cancellation. Before you submit, export all critical workspace data to a secure backup location. After you cancel, monitor your billing account for 30 days to confirm no additional charges appear, and escalate to CASE if Atlassian refuses to cooperate.
