Cancellation Life Alert: Easy Method
What is Life Alert
Overview
Life Alert Emergency Response, Inc. is a U.S.-based emergency response service known for personal alert systems and monitoring. It is not a Canadian company, and as of 2024/2025 Life Alert does not publish Canadian pricing or operate a dedicated Canadian service channel. Customers in Canada who subscribe may have signed up through an app, a website, or while located in the U.S.
How to cancel Life Alert
- Identify how you subscribed: via the Apple App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), or directly on a website - cancellation method depends on that platform.
- If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, cancel the subscription in your Apple ID subscriptions to stop renewals; Apple handles billing and refund requests through its system (Apple subscription support).
- If you subscribed through Google Play, cancel via your Google Play subscriptions and request a refund via Google Play within their window when applicable (Google Play refunds).
- If you subscribed on a website, send a written cancellation request to Life Alert’s cancellations department by certified mail (to have proof of delivery) and keep a copy of the letter and tracking/receipt. The recommended address for written cancellation is: Life Alert Emergency Response, Inc., Attn: Cancellations Department, Suite 400, 16027 Ventura Blvd., Encino, CA 91436, USA.
- When returning equipment is required by the provider, follow their return instructions and obtain proof of shipment and delivery; keep all records and any confirmation of cancellation from the company.
What happens when you cancel
Cancellation stops future billing or renewals once processed, but timing depends on where and how you subscribed. App-store subscriptions typically stop future renewals but may not trigger automatic refunds; web subscriptions are handled by the provider and may require equipment returns or a written request. Data held by the provider (account details, billing records, call logs) is retained according to the provider’s privacy policy; request confirmation of account closure and ask how your personal data will be handled.
Will I get a refund?
Refund outcomes vary by provider and by how you purchased the service. For Life Assure Canada (a separate Canadian provider) the policy is no long-term contracts or cancellation fees and billing stops once the unit is returned. For Life Alert services, refunds are case-by-case: app-store purchases are subject to Apple or Google refund policies (Apple typically does not guarantee refunds; Google Play has a short window), and web or direct-sold Life Alert refunds depend on the company’s terms and the circumstances. There are Trustpilot reports of customers receiving limited or partial refunds after difficult cancellation processes, and some customers report delays or documentation requests before refunds were issued.
Life Alert plans and pricing
| Plan | Monthly price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Life Alert | Varies | Life Alert does not publish Canadian pricing; not available as a dedicated Canadian offering in 2024/2025. |
Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumer protection often includes a minimum cooling-off period for services sold outside a storefront (commonly around 10 days for many provinces) which may allow for a full refund if exercised. Digital subscriptions purchased through Apple or Google are governed by those platform policies: Apple handles refunds and cancellations through its own system and rarely guarantees refunds, while Google Play generally allows a short window (commonly about 48 hours) for refunds. Provincial rules and exact timelines vary - if you believe your consumer rights have been breached, contact your provincial consumer protection office for specific guidance and next steps.
Customer experiences
Reviews are mixed. Some users praise responsive, courteous support, smooth setup, and peace of mind. Life Assure Canada reviewers highlight good customer service and helpful responses. Conversely, multiple Trustpilot and forum reports describe long, frustrating cancellation processes for Life Alert (U.S.), requests for multiple documents, delayed refunds, and difficulty reaching a final resolution - especially in cases involving bereavement or account closures. Experiences commonly depend on the sales channel (app store vs. web) and individual case handling.
Documentation checklist
- Account details (full name on account, account number, email and phone used to sign up)
- Proof of purchase or subscription (receipt, app store order ID, bank statement showing charge)
- Written cancellation request or emails exchanged with support
- Tracking and delivery receipt if you send a certified letter, and proof of equipment return if required
- Any written confirmation of cancellation or refund from the provider
Common mistakes
Common errors include assuming cancelling a mobile app will automatically produce a refund (it often only stops renewal), not keeping proof of cancellation or shipment when sending returns, and failing to confirm which billing channel is responsible (Apple/Google vs. the provider). Example: a subscriber cancels an app subscription but does not cancel directly with the provider and later gets billed again, or sends equipment without obtaining a delivery receipt and cannot prove return. Always obtain written confirmation and keep copies of all communications and shipment receipts.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Life Assure Canada (Canadian provider) | No cancellation fees; return unit and billing stops - refunds handled per return policy. | Low |
| Life Alert (App / Google Play / Apple) | Refunds depend on platform: Apple handles refunds via Apple Support (limited), Google Play may allow short-window refunds; cancelling prevents renewal. | Medium |
| Life Alert (non-Canadian, direct web/phone) | Case-by-case; some customers report partial or delayed refunds and required documentation. | High |
After cancelling
After you cancel, keep all proof of cancellation (store confirmations, emails, certified-mail receipt, tracking info) and monitor your bank or card statements for at least two billing cycles to confirm no further charges. If you do not receive confirmation, follow up in writing and escalate to your bank or card issuer to dispute unauthorized charges if necessary. For additional help and reference:
