Refund policy

Refunds, renewal, and trial considerations for Hightail

Official Hightail and Apple documents emphasize automatic renewal and advance notice; refunds are not guaranteed and depend on the billing owner’s policies and any Service order you agreed to.

Check my refund options
Automatic renewal and 30‑day notice for Hightail direct billing
Hightail’s Additional Information terms specify that all paid Service subscriptions automatically renew for additional periods equal to the original term at the then‑current OpenText price unless either party gives the other notice of non‑renewal at least 30 days before the end of the current subscription period, and that customers may cancel a subscription at any time by giving thirty days’ written notice, subject to any different terms in their Service order.
Effect of web cancellation on future charges and access
Using the Cancel Plan control in your Hightail account stops your paid subscription from renewing; Hightail explains that you keep your current plan’s features until the end of the billing cycle and are then downgraded to Lite, which also triggers the stricter storage and deletion rules for Lite accounts. Any refunds or proration beyond this are governed by your specific order terms and OpenText’s policies and are not promised in public documentation.
Apple-managed subscriptions and trials
Apple’s subscription support article notes that canceling via Settings › [Your Name] › Subscriptions › Hightail › Cancel Subscription stops future renewals, and that for free or discounted trial subscriptions you should cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends; any refunds or adjustments for Hightail in‑app subscriptions are handled under Apple’s rules.

For questions about specific charges, potential credits, or legal rights, users should review their OpenText Hightail Service order and local consumer law, and then contact either Hightail support or Apple Support depending on who billed the subscription. Check your order and contact the billing owner

Scope

What this Hightail cancellation guide covers

This draft focuses on canceling recurring paid Hightail subscriptions (Pro, Teams, Business) for individual and small‑team accounts, distinguishing between OpenText‑billed and Apple‑billed subscriptions.

  • Product and corporate ownership

    Hightail is a secure file sharing and creative collaboration service that is now part of the OpenText family, and OpenText operates the Hightail service and site.

  • Which subscriptions are in scope

    Hightail’s pricing page currently lists Lite (free), Pro, Teams, and Business plans as available offerings, confirming the existence of recurring paid subscriptions that can be upgraded or downgraded through the same Hightail account.

  • Hightail vs. Apple billing

    Direct purchases on hightail.com or via OpenText sales are governed by OpenText’s Hightail Service terms, while Hightail Pro Monthly and Pro Yearly plans purchased inside the iOS app are in‑app purchases billed by Apple under App Store subscription rules.

After cancellation

What happens to your Hightail access and files after canceling

Canceling a paid Hightail plan does not immediately delete your account, but it does change your plan level and how your files are retained.

  • Access through the end of the billing cycle

    Hightail’s cancellation article specifies that after you cancel your paid subscription, you retain access to all features of the plan you were on until the end of your current billing cycle, at which point your account is downgraded to a free Lite plan.

  • Downgrade to Lite and storage limits

    Hightail’s Additional Information terms state that when a user downgrades from a paid plan to the free Lite plan, file expirations longer than seven days are reset to seven days, the storage limit reverts to 2 GB, and after 30 days all but the most recent 2 GB of user files are permanently deleted and cannot be retrieved.

  • Effect on your team or business content

    Because downgrade to Lite enforces lower storage and much shorter expiration periods, organizations using Hightail for ongoing collaboration may need to export or migrate important content before canceling or downgrading to avoid automatic deletion under the Lite limits.

Help

Troubleshooting Hightail cancellation and special cases

If the standard online controls are missing or you have a more complex contract, these points outline next steps supported by official sources.

  • If Manage or Cancel Plan is missing

    Hightail’s cancellation article links to contact options and notes that users can submit a ticket or use live chat, and the terms page lists support@hightail.com for various account and privacy requests; use these channels if you cannot see billing controls in your account.

  • Enterprise or sales-managed accounts

    Hightail’s pricing page invites organizations with higher user counts to contact sales, and its OpenText Cloud terms state that specific Service orders may override the general cancellation clause, so large enterprise or custom‑contract accounts should review their order form or contact sales/support before canceling.

  • Distinguishing Apple vs. OpenText billing

    The Hightail iOS App Store page lists Pro Monthly and Pro Yearly as in‑app purchases, which Apple’s support article treats as subscriptions managed under your Apple ID; if your Hightail plan does not appear under Apple Subscriptions, Apple advises that it may be billed by another company, meaning you likely need to cancel through OpenText instead.

Hightail cancellation FAQ

Current, source-backed answers about cancellation, billing ownership, refunds, and access timing.

If you purchased your Hightail Pro, Teams, or Business plan directly from Hightail/OpenText, sign in at spaces.hightail.com, click your account avatar, go to Manage in the billing details area, and select Cancel Plan, then follow the prompts. Your paid features remain available until the end of your current billing cycle, after which your account is downgraded to the free Lite plan.
Hightail’s terms state that when a user downgrades from a paid plan to the free Lite plan, any files set to expire more than seven days out are changed to expire seven days from the downgrade, and after 30 days all but the most recent 2 GB of user files are permanently deleted and cannot be retrieved. Because canceling a paid subscription through Cancel Plan leads to a downgrade to Lite at the end of the billing cycle, these Lite limits and deletion rules then apply to your account.
The Hightail iOS App Store page lists Pro Monthly and Pro Yearly as in‑app purchases, which Apple treats as subscriptions managed under your Apple ID. If you see Hightail under Settings › [Your Name] › Subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad, then Apple is billing that subscription and you must cancel it there. If Hightail does not appear under Apple Subscriptions and you instead see Hightail charges on a bank or card statement without an Apple receipt, Apple advises that the subscription may be billed by a different company, in which case you should cancel directly through your Hightail account or contact Hightail/OpenText support.
Apple’s policies state that subscriptions purchased from Apple or through apps on the App Store must be managed in your Apple account settings, and if you cannot find a receipt from Apple, you may have bought the subscription from another company. This means Hightail support cannot directly cancel a Hightail subscription that is billed by Apple; you must cancel it through Apple’s Subscriptions settings using the steps in Apple’s support article.
