What is Timesen
Service overview
Timesen is a subscription-based service offering digital products and/or account-based services to users. It operates customer accounts, billing, and support channels for its offerings.

What happens when you cancel
Access and service end
After cancellation you may retain access until the end of the current billing period if paid in advance. Some services may stop immediately depending on the provider’s terms.
Account data and renewal
Accounts are typically deactivated or downgraded after cancellation. Data retention and automatic renewal rules depend on Timesen’s policies, so request details if you need your data preserved or deleted.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Refunds depend on Timesen’s terms of sale and the timing of your cancellation. Many subscription services do not issue pro rata refunds for unused time unless specified.
Exceptions and how to request a refund
- If the service is faulty or not as described, you can request a remedy under New Zealand consumer law (see rights section).
- If you were charged in error or after cancellation, provide proof and request a refund from Timesen in writing.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Key laws that apply
New Zealand consumers are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and the Fair Trading Act (FTA). These laws apply even when purchasing from overseas suppliers, in many circumstances.
What you can expect
- If goods or services are faulty, not fit for purpose, or not as described, you can seek repair, replacement or refund under the CGA.
- The FTA prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct; you can complain to the Commerce Commission or seek remedies for false claims.
- There is no universal cooling-off period for all online subscriptions in NZ; check Timesen’s terms for any voluntary cancellation window.

- Bank or card statements showing charges if disputing payments.

Common mistakes
Failing to follow the provider’s process
Sending informal messages or posting on social media often does not cancel a subscription. Always use the official account settings or a formal written request.
