    A Guide to cancellation of subscription account with GovReports

    GovReports allows free trial users to stop using the service at any time, and paid users to cancel their paid plans at any time, with such cancellation taking effect at the next renewal date.

    If you cancel your plan before the next renewal cycle, you will retain access to paid features and services until the end of your subscription period. When your subscription expires with cancellation request set in from the system or without renewal payment, you will lose access to paid features and services including account data and lodgement records.

    We recommend for you to take copies of lodgements and any other records prior to account expiry and cancellation. After expiry and cancellation of account, if you require access to any records or lodgement data, you will need to subscribe to a GovReports paid plan with the same username to gain access within the 365 days for previously paid plan and 90 days for free trial users from previous account expiry date. Beyond the grace period post account last expiry date, all data and lodgement records will be removed and permanently deleted and will no longer be retrievable.

    Your ability to downgrade, adjust or cancel your GovReports subscription is subject to our Terms and Conditions which can be found on our website and is the same as the terms of services on any purchases or sign ups.
