What is Shahid

How to cancel Shahid

Primary cancellation route

Shahid's Terms of Use require cancellation via Shahid's Help Center or their website interface.

You must cancel at least one full day before your next renewal date to avoid being charged again.

Step-by-step cancellation (recommended)

• Sign in to your Shahid account on the Shahid website or Help Center: Shahid Terms & Help.
• Locate "Subscription", "Account", or "Manage Subscription" in your account settings.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to cancel; confirm the cancellation and retain any confirmation number or screenshot.
• If you subscribed via iOS/Android, check your App Store/Google Play subscription settings, but note Shahid's Terms refer to cancellation via the Help Center/web.
• Cancel at least one full day before your renewal date to prevent the next charge.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

After you cancel, you will normally retain access to Shahid until the end of your already-paid billing period.

Renewal and account data

Cancellation prevents future renewals if done before the cut-off time stated in the Terms.

Your account data and viewing history may be retained according to Shahid's data policies; review their privacy settings for details.

Will I get a refund?

Shahid’s stated policy

Shahid's Terms state that subscription fees are not refunded after cancellation unless applicable law requires otherwise.

They explicitly say no refunds for unused time in normal circumstances.

Exceptions and legal rights

• If New Zealand law (for example under the Consumer Guarantees Act) requires a refund for a substantially faulty or not-fit-for-purpose service, you may be entitled to a refund despite Shahid’s stated no‑refund policy.
• Always keep payment records and correspondence if you intend to seek a statutory remedy.

Shahid plans and pricing

Available pricing snapshot

No official New Zealand (NZD) prices were found publicly for 2024/2025; listed prices appear in USD and AED.

Notes on displayed prices

iOS in-app prices are shown in USD on some App Store listings and standard VIP pricing is quoted in AED on other sources.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA)

Under the CGA, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill and be fit for purpose.

If Shahid’s service is faulty or fails substantially you may be entitled to cancel and seek a refund or partial refund.

Fair Trading Act and remedies

Businesses cannot contract out of consumer rights; a blanket "no refunds" term does not remove CGA protections.

If issues are not resolved, you can ask for a fix, refund or compensation, and may take the matter to the Disputes Tribunal.

Useful official guidance: Consumer Guarantees Act guidance.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some users praise Shahid for good content selection and value, describing it as "Great service" with attractive content choices.

Reported issues and complaints

Many reviews report problems with customer support, technical issues (including casting/Chromecast), and denied refunds.

Reports include login failures, early access cutoff after cancellation, and slow or unhelpful responses from support teams.

Documentation checklist

What to gather before contacting support

• Account email/username used for Shahid.
• Subscription ID or order reference from your confirmation or invoice.
• Payment receipts or bank/credit card statement entries for the charge.
• Screenshots of subscription status, error messages, and any cancellation confirmation.

Additional useful evidence

• Dates and copies of messages with Shahid support (ticket numbers where available).
• Device and platform details (web, iOS App Store, Android/Google Play).
• Notes on attempts to fix technical issues and impact on service quality.

Common mistakes

Timing errors

Many users miss the requirement to cancel at least one full day before the next renewal and are charged for an extra period.

Always check your renewal date and cancel well in advance to avoid accidental rebilling.

Assuming automatic refunds or wrong cancellation route

Users often assume a refund will be automatic after cancellation; Shahid's Terms say no refunds unless required by law.

Another common error is cancelling only via the App Store/Google Play when Shahid's Terms point to the Help Center/web process; keep proof of any cancellation action you take.

If you have a dispute

• Contact Shahid support with your documentation and request a remedy first.
• If unresolved and the service was substantially faulty, consider New Zealand remedies under the CGA and contact Citizens Advice or Consumer Protection for guidance: CGA guidance.
• You may also lodge a complaint on review sites or pursue a Disputes Tribunal claim if appropriate.
