## Cancel a team plan

> Only the team owner or admin can disable auto-renewal through Customer Success or Team Support.

1. **Ask the team owner or admin** Team membership is controlled by the organization's owner or admin and the applicable agreement.
2. **Disable auto-renewal through Skillshare** The owner or admin emails teamhelp@skillshare.com or contacts their Customer Success Manager to disable auto-renewal. The team plan remains active until the next payment date.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** Canceling does not automatically issue a refund. After a seven-day trial charge, Skillshare can issue a one-time refund if support is contacted within 48 hours and the membership was not used after the charge. Charges after trials of 14 days or longer and renewal charges are non-refundable. App-store refunds go to the store. Statutory cooling-off and SEPA rights can apply in specified regions.
- **Pausing:** No pause or hold option is documented across Skillshare's official individual cancellation, membership, pricing and team billing pages.
- **Downgrading:** Skillshare does not document a free post-cancellation membership tier or an individual downgrade path. Access continues through the current billing period; afterward, the member loses access to Skillshare classes and downloadable membership materials.
- **Account data:** Canceling does not delete the Skillshare account. A separate Privacy Request permanently deletes account and personal data, including profile data, community content, class progress and saved learning content. Apple and Google subscriptions must be canceled in the store before account deletion.

## FAQ

**Does cancelling Skillshare end access immediately?**

No. Access continues until the end of the current billing period, then classes and downloadable membership materials become unavailable.

**Can I pause Skillshare?**

No pause option is documented in the official individual or team membership guidance.

Cancel in the Apple App Store or Google Play account that bills the membership. Skillshare's website cannot cancel a store-billed subscription.

The team owner or admin asks the Customer Success Manager or teamhelp@skillshare.com to disable auto-renewal. Access lasts until the next payment date.
