1
Primary Owner only
Only the Primary Owner can cancel the school plan.
2

School-plan cancellation does not immediately stop active student subscriptions. Cancel them manually from Sales if they should not continue for up to 30 days after the plan ends.
Student billing is separate and may continue for up to 30 days unless you cancel those subscriptions from Sales.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
Teachable offers a 30-day refund window after signing up for a new paid school plan or upgrading to a higher tier, for monthly and annual subscriptions. Cancel the school plan first, then request the refund in writing through support within the window.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
You can select a lower tier under Settings > Plan. After cancellation, the school goes offline because Teachable no longer offers a free plan; upgrading to a paid plan restores paid features.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
Teachable does not document a billing pause for school plans. Taking a school offline is not a substitute for cancellation and does not by itself stop plan billing.
What happens to my account data?
After cancellation, school content and settings remain intact but inaccessible while the school is offline; Teachable does not guarantee indefinite accessibility. Permanent account deletion is immediate and irreversible and requires finishing the paid plan, deleting schools, then contacting support from the verified owner email.
