Can I Cancel Zendesk at Any Time?

When canceling a Zendesk subscription, be aware that you must notify Zendesk at least 30 days prior to the end of your subscription term, and cancellations take effect only at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. If you cancel before the end of the subscription term, you are usually required to pay the full amount of the remaining subscription charges, with no refunds or credits, effectively locking you in for the paid term. Also, after cancellation, you lose access to your account and data, which will be deleted after 30 days unless you export it beforehand.

What Should I Know Before Cancelling Zendesk?

Before cancelling your Zendesk subscription or membership, know that cancelling individual products is possible for account owners without cancelling the entire account, but some cancellations require contacting Zendesk Customer Support. Cancelling products or the whole account is not immediate; the subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle. When you cancel the entire account, you lose access to sign-in, tickets, lead data, user information, channels, business rules, and settings, and your account data will be deleted per Zendesk's Service Data Deletion Policy. Additionally, a cancellation notice must be given at least 30 days before the end of the subscription term, and billing admins cannot cancel products or accounts themselves.

What is Zendesk's Cancellation Policy?

Zendesk's cancellation policy requires account owners (not billing admins) to cancel subscriptions or accounts via the Admin Center or by contacting Customer Support if applicable. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing cycle, allowing continued use until then. Pricing adjustments from cancellations also apply at the cycle's end, and account cancellation results in loss of access to the account and data after that period. Additionally, a 30-day notice prior to the subscription term's end is required as per their Main Services Agreement.

Do I Need My Zendesk Password to Cancel?

To cancel a Zendesk subscription, you must be the account owner and have access to the Admin Center where you manage your subscription. Typically, this requires logging in to your account, so having your password is necessary to access the Admin Center and complete the cancellation process. If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it here: https://www.zendesk.com/login/reset-password/. If your account is sales-assisted rather than self-service, you would need to contact Zendesk Sales directly to cancel.
