Important!
When you sign up for a DocuSign plan, you must agree to the Terms and Conditions for Use of DocuSign Service Plans. This agreement contains important information about fees and payment terms, return of balances, account terms, and terminations. We can only process cancellations and refunds according to the terms specified there.
Should I downgrade or close my account?
We generally recommend downgrading your account to a free plan, rather than closing it. This will enable you to retain access to your existing completed documents, however it will limit your ability to send future documents.
Note: Free accounts can only have a single user.
As an alternative we offer the option to downgrade your plan to a lower paid plan. This can be done on the Plan Change page, using these steps.
If you decide to close your account, we recommend that you download all of your documents, as they will not be accessible after cancellation/closure.
