TL;DR

If you are reading this because the trial is about to end, the short version is:

1. Open AdCreative.ai, log in, click your account avatar, then go to Settings → Billing.
2. Cancel the subscription. Screenshot the confirmation.
3. If you want a refund and you are inside the 7-day (monthly) or 30-day (annual) window from when you subscribed, also email contact@AdCreative.ai with a written cancellation request and your invoice/account email.
4. If you are outside that window, refund is not guaranteed. Email anyway, polite tone; for Australian customers, see the Australian Consumer Law section below.

The rest of this guide is the detail, the template email, and what to do if cancellation fails.

The two cancellation paths

AdCreative.ai's Terms of Service for Online Subscribers at clause 3.3 set out the formal channel: "Clients must send an email to the following address: contact@AdCreative.ai requesting the deactivation or deletion of their Account." That email is the contractually-prescribed cancellation route and it doubles as your refund-request channel (see Step 2). The in-app account UI also exposes a cancel control. Do both, in order, so you have a clean record.

Step 1: cancel inside the AdCreative.ai app

These steps describe AdCreative.ai's current account UI; the ToS itself does not prescribe an in-app flow, only the email channel in Step 2. If a label has moved, the principle is the same.

1. Log in at adcreative.ai with the email and password you used at sign-up. If you signed up with Google or Apple SSO, use the same provider.
2. Open the account / profile menu (top-right) and pick Settings (sometimes labelled Account Settings).
3. Open the Billing tab. Per clause 4.4.2 of the ToS, this is where invoices live too: "Customers may view and download their invoices at any time by navigating to the 'Billing' tab located within the 'Settings' menu of the application."
4. Find your active Subscription and click Cancel (or Manage Subscription → Cancel Plan).
5. Confirm the cancellation. AdCreative.ai may ask for a reason; that information does not affect whether the cancellation goes through.
6. Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation. Your subscription typically remains active until the end of the current billing cycle.

Clause 4.2 of the ToS adds a notice-period rule worth knowing: for a monthly plan you must cancel within the 7 days before the end of the current billing cycle, and for an annual plan within the 30 days before the anniversary date. Cancelling mid-cycle is fine, but cancelling outside those notice windows can mean the subscription auto-renews regardless of your intent. Combined with the no-email-billing-notification rule, this is the single biggest reason customers report being charged unexpectedly.

Step 2: email contact@AdCreative.ai (and claim the refund window if you are inside it)

The same Terms state:

"Except you satisfy the conditions under Clause 4.7, any sums paid by the Client to AdCreative.ai under the Terms remain the property of AdCreative.ai and are therefore non-refundable, even in the event of termination of the Subscription."

Clause 4.7 itself then allows an exception at the company's sole discretion:

"AdCreative.ai, at its sole discretion, may decide to grant refunds to the Customer who subscribed but did not use the Service. To be considered for such an exceptional refund, the Customer must send a written cancellation request to the email at contact@AdCreative.ai, and AdCreative.ai must receive this request: Within seven (7) days of the Subscription date for a monthly Subscription. Within thirty (30) days of the Subscription date for an annual Subscription."

So:

• Monthly plan? You have 7 calendar days from the day you subscribed to email contact@AdCreative.ai with a written cancellation request and ask for a refund.
• Annual plan? You have 30 days.
• You must not have used the Service, per the ToS wording. If you generated creatives, downloaded them, or used the platform during the trial, the refund right falls away even inside the window.
• The decision is still "at AdCreative.ai's sole discretion." Inside the window your request is at least valid; outside it, you are relying on goodwill.

A refund request template that meets the ToS wording:

Subject: Refund request, subscription cancellation, written notice >Hello, >I subscribed to AdCreative.ai on [DATE OF SUBSCRIPTION] under the email [YOUR ACCOUNT EMAIL] on the [Starter / Professional / Ultimate] [monthly / annual] plan. I am sending this written cancellation request within the [7-day / 30-day] window set out in clause 4.7 of your Terms of Service for Online Subscribers, and asking that a refund of [AMOUNT, CURRENCY] be processed back to the original payment method. >I confirm I have cancelled my subscription inside the application Billing tab; the cancellation confirmation is attached. >Please confirm the refund and the cancellation in writing. >Regards,[YOUR NAME][INVOICE NUMBER, if known]

Step 3: if you have already been charged outside the refund window

The contract says no. But three things are still worth doing.

Email AdCreative.ai anyway. Use the same template above, drop the "within the X-day window" line, and add: "I appreciate this request is outside the standard refund window, and I am asking for a goodwill refund or partial refund on the basis that [reason: for example, I never received a billing notification before the charge, I did not use the Service during the paid period, or the trial-to-paid conversion wasn't clearly communicated]." Goodwill refunds do happen. Polite tone, one paragraph, all the relevant context.

Dispute the charge with your card issuer if you genuinely never used the Service. Visa and Mastercard merchant rules allow chargebacks for subscription services where the cardholder claims they did not authorise the recurring charge or did not receive what they paid for. This is a separate process from AdCreative.ai's refund flow and your bank can help. Have your account email, subscription date, and cancellation confirmation ready.

Australian customers: cite the Australian Consumer Law. Under the Australian Consumer Law, section 18 prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct in trade or commerce. If the trial-to-paid conversion was not clearly disclosed at sign-up, or if you were not given a reasonable means to identify the auto-renewal date (and the ToS itself states no email notification will be sent), there is a credible ACL argument worth making in your email. Explicitly note that you are an Australian consumer, name the relevant section, and add that you reserve the right to escalate to the ACCC or your state's fair trading office if the matter is not resolved within 14 days. We are not your lawyers, and this is not legal advice; the ACL position is just a real consumer protection that applies regardless of what the ToS says.

Why this auto-billing pattern is so common

It is structural, not malicious. AdCreative.ai's own Terms include: "we do not dispatch invoices, or any related billing communications, to Customers via email or any other external communication methods." So by signing up you agreed that the company would not warn you before a charge. Combined with the clause 4.2 notice window covered in Step 1, that's the design that produces the recurring complaint in third-party reviews; our AdCreative.ai review reproduces the verbatim quotes from named Product Hunt reviewers with the source noted. AdCreative.ai's LinkedIn company page is the corporate identity if you need it for a billing-dispute paper trail.

So: if you want the trial without the surprise, the only safe path is to set a calendar reminder before the trial ends. Day 5 if monthly, week 4 if annual. Cancel from inside the app, screenshot the confirmation, decide actively whether to re-subscribe.

Before you cancel: a quick check

A few things worth verifying before you cancel, so you don't lose work you wanted to keep:

• Download the creatives you want to keep. Generated creatives stay with your account, but the easier path is to download the assets you have before the account is fully deactivated.
• Check your remaining credits. If you are on Starter or Professional you may have unused credits in the current billing cycle. Per the ToS, "No refunds or credits shall be provided for any lack of usage, partial usage, or failure to use the Service", so using your remaining credits before cancelling is the only way to recover their value.
• Are you on monthly or annual? Annual subscribers can still cancel mid-cycle, but the cancellation effectively takes effect at the end of the paid period. You keep access until then.
• Are you on the Enterprise plan? Enterprise contracts are governed by separate Terms ("Terms and Service for Enterprises") and may have a different cancellation channel, usually your account manager.

Australian Consumer Law: where it can and cannot help

For Australian customers reading this who feel they have been auto-charged unfairly, the Australian Consumer Law gives you three relevant levers, all of which apply regardless of what the ToS says (you cannot contract out of the ACL):

• Section 18, misleading or deceptive conduct. If the trial-to-paid flow wasn't disclosed in a way a reasonable consumer would notice, the ACCC and state fair trading offices treat that as misleading conduct in trade or commerce.
• Section 23, unfair contract terms. A clause that lets a vendor charge you without any pre-charge notification, in a standard-form consumer contract, can be challenged as unfair. Whether it would actually be struck out is a court question; the value is in the threat to challenge it.
• Consumer guarantees. If the Service was not fit for the purpose AdCreative.ai marketed it for, statutory consumer guarantees apply. This is harder to invoke for a tool you simply did not get around to using, but real if the platform did not work.

A short paragraph in your email referencing s18 and s23 of the ACL, sent to contact@AdCreative.ai with a deadline (14 days is reasonable), is a low-effort move that occasionally moves the needle. Again, not legal advice; talk to a lawyer if the stakes warrant it.

The plan tiers, currencies, and trial structure that determine which refund window applies to you live on the AdCreative.ai pricing page. If you are not sure which plan you are on, the answer is in the Billing tab of your account or on that pricing page.

Verdict and what to do next

Cancellation is simple if you do it inside the app before the cycle renews. The refund window is narrow and discretionary, but it exists and is worth using if you are inside it. Outside it, the email + card-dispute route is still worth a polite attempt.

If AdCreative.ai isn't the right shape for your work, the alternatives comparison is the next read. If cost is the issue but the workflow is right, our creative-testing pipeline and AI automations service are the routes Australian operators (most often in retail and e-commerce, where the paid-social cadence drives this kind of tooling decision) take to get the workflow running without the per-seat subscription drag. And if you want to weigh up the trial again with the calendar discipline this guide describes, the AdCreative.ai trial is available via our partner link in the cluster's pillar review.
