Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

Adobe Stock annual contracts are fully refundable within 14 days after the paid subscription begins. After that, the standard annual contract billed monthly can charge 50% of the remaining obligation and continue through the current month's billing period. Adobe publishes different percentages for some regions, and annual prepaid plans become non-refundable after 14 days.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

You can remove Stock from a Creative Cloud membership with Change your plan. Cancelling or moving to a lower-priced Stock plan forfeits unused licenses or plan credits.

Read this
Can I pause instead of cancel?

Adobe does not document a pause option for Adobe Stock subscriptions.

What happens to my account data?

Cancelling Stock does not delete the Adobe account. Account deletion is separate and requires cancelling active plans first. Adobe allows reactivation for 27 days after deletion, then permanently deletes the data. Unused Stock credits are lost when the Stock subscription ends.
