How to cancel Docusign

Cancel at least five business days before the term ends: set the account not to auto-renew in the admin console (where available) or contact Docusign Support; app-store purchases cancel in the store. Payments are non-refundable except an annual plan's 30-day refund request. Documents may be deleted when the term ends.

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/docusign.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated hard).
