What is Rewind
Overview
Rewind is a backup and restore service that protects data for web and mobile applications. It offers automated backups and point-in-time restores for supported platforms.
Service variants
There are two main contexts covered here: Rewind (the SaaS backup service) and Rewind Live (the mobile app). Each has different billing and refund rules.
How to cancel Rewind
Cancel Rewind (SaaS backup service)
- Log into your Rewind account and go to Account settings.
- Use the subscription or billing section to cancel the subscription directly.
- Alternatively, send a cancellation request to [email protected] if you need help.
Cancel Rewind Live (mobile app)
- If billed via Apple App Store, cancel auto-renewal in your Apple subscriptions at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- If billed via Google Play, cancel auto-renewal in Google Play subscriptions at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- For refunds or billing issues with mobile purchases, contact Apple or Google directly - Rewind Live cannot issue refunds.
What happens when you cancel
Access and renewal
When you cancel a Rewind SaaS subscription it stops future renewals; you typically retain access until the end of the current paid period.
For Rewind Live, cancelling auto-renewal in the app store also preserves access until the current store-paid period ends.
Data and backups
Backups and stored data may remain available until the subscription period expires or according to Rewind's retention policies.
It is recommended to export or download any critical data before the access period ends to avoid accidental loss.
Will I get a refund?
Rewind (SaaS backup service) refund policy
All fees are non-refundable except where specified, such as for a breach of warranty noted in Rewind's terms of service.
In case of an applicable warranty breach, users may cancel and receive a pro‑rated refund of unused prepaid fees. See Rewind's terms for details: Rewind Terms of Service.
Rewind Live (mobile app) refund policy
Rewind Live does not issue refunds directly. Refunds and billing disputes for App Store or Google Play purchases must be handled with Apple or Google.
There are no refunds for consumable in-app purchases; follow the store dispute process for exceptions: Rewind Live Terms of Use.

Your consumer rights in United Arab Emirates
General position
Rewind's publicly stated terms do not specify a UAE-specific statutory cooling-off or 14‑day automatic refund right.
The company treats SaaS fees as non-refundable except for limited exceptions such as warranty breaches.
Practical advice for UAE consumers
- Retain proof of purchase, receipts, and any correspondence when disputing charges.
- If billed through Apple or Google, use their store dispute and refund channels for mobile purchases.
- For unresolved disputes, consider contacting UAE consumer protection authorities for guidance on jurisdiction and enforcement.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many users praise Rewind for easy integration, reliable backups, and automation that provides peace of mind.
Reviews on business listing sites generally rate ease of use and value positively, with typical scores around 4.2/5.
Negative feedback
Some customers report slow restore times when handling large datasets, which can affect recovery speed.
At least one user reported difficulty stopping billing after uninstalling, so ensure cancellation is completed in the account or store subscription settings.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before cancelling
- Account email and username associated with the Rewind subscription.
- Subscription ID or invoice number from Rewind billing or app store receipt.
- Proof of payment (credit card statement, PayPal receipt, or app store receipt).
Supporting evidence for refunds or disputes
- Copies of support emails or chat transcripts showing cancellation attempts.
- Screenshots of subscription settings or billing entries if applicable.
- Reference to Rewind terms of service or Rewind Live terms of use when relevant: Terms of Service, Rewind Live Terms.
Common mistakes
Assuming uninstall equals cancellation
Uninstalling the app does not cancel subscriptions billed through Apple, Google, or direct accounts.
Always cancel via the Rewind account or the App Store / Google Play subscription settings to stop auto-renewals.
Expecting automatic refunds
Assuming a refund will be issued upon cancellation is a common error. Rewind's SaaS fees are generally non-refundable.
For mobile purchases, expect to contact Apple or Google for refund requests rather than Rewind Live support.
