How to cancel Transparent Language Online
Transparent Language Online is billed by FastSpring: go to transparentlanguage.onfastspring.com/account, enter the email address you ordered with, open the link in the email it sends you, then choose Subscriptions, Manage, Cancel Subscription and Yes.

Where did you subscribe?
On the web (bought on transparent.com)

- Open the email it sends you and click "Click here to manage your orders" under your name.
- On your account page, click the Subscriptions tab, then Manage.

In your iPhone's or iPad's settings (subscribed in the iPhone app)
- In Settings, tap your name.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Tap Transparent Language Online.
- Tap Cancel Subscription. If there is no Cancel button, or an expiry message shows in red, the subscription is already cancelled.
Its App Store listing sells the same four plans in the app ($24.99 and $149.99 for one language, $49.99 and $249.99 for all), and its refund policy sends refunds of iPhone purchases to Apple; these are Apple's steps. Google Play lists no in-app purchases for its Android app.
The free trial and a library account
During the 14-day free trial
The trial is an account you register for on its website with your name and email address; the sign-up form asks for no card, so nothing is charged. When the 14 days end you can ask for another 14-day trial or buy a subscription.
An account through your library
Many public libraries in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia subscribe, and their members get free access for as long as the library subscribes. You pay nothing, so there is nothing to cancel.
After you cancel
- Cancelling stops the subscription renewing. Its help pages don't say whether you keep access to the end of a period you have paid for, so if you cancel early in a period, ask for the refund below.
- To come back once a subscription has expired, buy a new one and add it to your existing account by entering its activation code when you log in.
Getting money back
- Transparent Language gives a full refund for the current subscription period if you ask any time before the next billing date. Periods billed before that are not refunded.
- To ask, email [email protected] with your order number, the email address you ordered with, your full name, the product and your reason.
- Bought in the iPhone app: Apple decides, not Transparent Language.
