The service is operated via the EFL's streaming platform and is accessed through web, iOS and Android apps.

What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
If you cancel before renewal your subscription will typically remain active until the end of the paid period.
Access to live streams and club content generally ends when the current billing period expires.
Account and data
Cancellation does not automatically delete your account or personal data; account records may be retained per the operator's policies.
If you need account deletion or data removal, contact support specifying the request in your message to [email protected].
Will I get a refund?
Official policy
The official iFollow help guidance does not guarantee refunds and states cancellation must occur at least 5 days before renewal to avoid further charges.
There is no standard automatic 14-day cooling-off entitlement published in the help article.
Exceptions and practical outcomes
- Refunds may be issued at iFollow/EFL discretion in certain situations, such as proven streaming failures or operational issues.
- User reports show mixed outcomes: some received pro-rata refunds for missed content while others report difficulties obtaining refunds after renewal.
- If you believe you qualify for a refund, include clear evidence (dates, screenshots, transaction IDs) when contacting support or your payment provider.

Your consumer rights in India
Cooling-off and statutory rights
The official iFollow policy does not provide a 14-day automatic cooling-off refund right in its published help guidance.
Indian consumer law may provide protections for digital purchases, but applicability to cross-border services can vary.
Practical steps and escalation
- If a refund is refused, check whether your bank/card issuer or PayPal can offer a chargeback or dispute process.
- Document all communications and provide evidence of service failure when escalating to payment providers or local consumer authorities.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Some users report receiving pro-rata refunds automatically for missed matches or streaming failures, showing responsiveness in specific cases.
These positive outcomes appear to be handled case-by-case rather than as guaranteed policy.
Negative reports
Many users describe difficulties cancelling by email, with some needing multiple messages to achieve cancellation or a refund.
Complaints include slow or inconsistent customer service, technical streaming problems and confusion across support representatives.
Documentation checklist
Essential items to include when requesting cancellation or refund
- Full name and email address registered to the iFollow account.
- The club you follow and any subscription/order reference numbers.
- Transaction details: date, amount, payment method (card/PayPal).
Supporting evidence
- Screenshots of subscription status, error messages or failed streams.
- Copies of previous emails to support and any replies received.
- Bank or PayPal statements showing the charge if you plan to dispute it.
Common mistakes
Timing errors
Waiting until too close to (or after) the renewal date can result in an unwanted charge because the policy asks for cancellation at least 5 days prior.
Always check the renewal date in your account or subscription receipt and cancel early.
Incorrect cancellation route
Users sometimes email support but forget to cancel through the App Store/Google Play or PayPal, leaving the subscription active.
Ensure you cancel through the exact platform that charged you (Apple, Google, PayPal, or iFollow directly).
