Do it yourself
Cancel GEDmatch yourself
TLDR: In account settings, cancel Tier 1 or turn off auto-renewal before the term ends. Access lasts until the end of the term you paid, and fees already paid are not refunded unless they decide the case is unusual.
Cancel in account settings
GEDmatch bills Tier 1 tools.
- 01Log in and open account settings.
- 02Cancel the paid service, or end the account, before the term ends.
The terms also point to the GEDmatch wiki for how to cancel a recurring payment. They do not print those steps. Auto-renewal can be turned off in account settings. The plan renews for the same length at the regular price. You keep it until the term you paid ends. It does not renew after that. They keep charging until they confirm they got your notice. A charge already sent still stands. Questions can go to support@gedmatch.com or gedmatch@verogen.com.
Mail a notice
You want it on paper.
- 01Write that you are cancelling Tier 1, and include the email on the account.
- 02Mail it to Verogen, Inc., 19300 Germantown Road, Germantown, MD 20874.
The terms list that street as the address. Copyright notices use the same street, Attn: DMCA Designated Agent. Cancel in account settings as well.
How to know it worked
