Cancellation Request — [your account email]Send this template
Hi Resend team, I'm writing to request the immediate cancellation of my subscription tied to this account, effective today. Under applicable consumer-protection law (UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83/EU, or the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule depending on your jurisdiction), I'm entitled to terminate this continuous service contract through the same channel it was formed in — please confirm by reply that no further charges will be made. If your policy permits, I'd also appreciate a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of the current billing period. Best, [your name]
Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

Resend’s refund policy
Resend's Terms of Service state paid Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law. The Acceptable Use Policy also excludes refunds for AUP breaches and for partial-quota usage once emails have been sent. In practice, cancelling stops the next renewal but does not refund the current billing period. Refunds are only likely if you're covered by a statutory right (UK/EU consumer distance-selling rules for unused digital services, or a chargeback via your card issuer).
“Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.”

What doesn’t work for cancelling Resend
Based on 6 sources — Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Calling a support phone line — Resend publishes no phone number; third-party cancellation sites confirm phone is not available.
- ✕ Live chat on the marketing site — Support is ticket-only on Free/Pro; only Scale customers get a shared Slack channel.
- ✕ Requesting a mid-cycle prorated refund — Terms explicitly say fees are non-refundable, and the AUP adds that refunds are not issued for partial quota usage once emails have been sent.
- ✕ Emailing a random @resend.dev address (e.g. onboarding@resend.dev) — Those are demo/sender addresses that appear in code samples, not real support inboxes.
- ✕ Ignoring the dashboard and waiting for the plan to lapse — Subscriptions auto-renew at end of each Billing Cycle unless actively cancelled.
How Resend will try to keep you
Resend may respond with a retention offer — a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.
They’ll say: “Downgrade prompt to the Free tier (3,000 emails/mo, 100/day) instead of cancelling.”
You say: The Free plan's 100/day cap is a hard limit — if you're above that even briefly, keep the downgrade only as a bridge and cancel outright once traffic moves off Resend.
They’ll say: “Offer of an in-dashboard downgrade to a lower Scale slider tier rather than full cancel.”
You say: Sliders keep you on the auto-renew treadmill. If you no longer need the volume, cancel completely — you can re-subscribe later without a signup penalty.
They’ll say: “Silence / delayed reply on refund requests after suspension.”
You say: Trustpilot reviewers report Resend not responding on compensation after suspensions. Escalate in one email: cite the non-refundability clause, invoke UK CRA 2015 / EU CRD Article 16 statutory rights, and give a 14-day deadline before card chargeback.
They’ll say: “Grandfathered legacy pricing offer to stop cancellation.”
You say: Resend has silently doubled some Scale tier prices before (e.g. 200k emails from $80 → $160). A grandfathering promise is worth it only if the plan itself still matches your actual send volume — recheck the ladder before accepting.
Your rights when cancelling
Consumer law varies by where you live. The strongest hook for your country is the one to lead with when you contact the company — pick the one that applies and quote it in your email.
United States
- FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Resend to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up — same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
- California ARL (auto-renewal law)Renewal must be cancellable online.
California Business & Professions Code §17602 forces any company billing California residents on auto-renewal to provide an online cancel mechanism. Lawsuits have been won on this; companies often refund quickly when it’s cited.
- Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA)Negative-option billing must be clearly disclosed.
Federal law (15 U.S.C. §8401) requires Resend to clearly disclose any negative-option / auto-renewal terms before charging. Buried terms = potential federal violation. Report to the FTC alongside any FTC complaint.
United Kingdom
- Consumer Contracts Regulations 201314-day cooling-off on new subscriptions.
You can terminate any continuous service contract within 14 days of starting it and recover any payment, no questions asked. Applies regardless of Resend’s own policy.
- Consumer Rights Act 2015Services must be as described.
If Resend’s service was misrepresented or didn’t deliver what was promised, you have a statutory right to remedy (repair, refund, or price reduction) regardless of their terms.
European Union
- Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Resend must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.
- Digital Content Directive (EU) 2019/770Refund rights for digital content failures.
Specific to digital subscriptions — gives you the right to a price reduction or contract termination when Resend’s digital service is not as advertised, with no time limit beyond the contract period.
Worldwide
- Card-issuer chargebackYour bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes — “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Resend has ~45 days to defend.
Common questions about cancelling Resend
Log into resend.com, open **Settings → Billing**, click the three dots next to your current plan, and select **Cancel Subscription**. The change takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep sending until then, and you won't be charged again. If the button is missing or greyed out (common on suspended accounts), email support@resend.com from the account email address and ask them to cancel manually.
