What happens when you cancel

Access and billing

Cancelling stops future renewals but typically keeps full access until the current billing period ends.

If you subscribed through Apple or Google, those stores manage the billing and will control the cancellation timing.

Data and account

Your Chai account and chat history usually remain available unless you request deletion in settings.

Deleting an account is separate from cancelling a subscription; check account settings for data removal options.

Will I get a refund?

Apple / iOS subscriptions

Apple handles refunds for App Store subscriptions; developers cannot directly issue refunds for iOS purchases.

If you need a refund for an Apple charge, request it from Apple via your purchase history or Apple Support.

Android and direct refunds

• Chai support has stated they can issue refunds for Android users directly and would process them “ASAP”.
• If a refund is refused or unresolved, users may need to dispute the charge with Google Play or their bank.
• Several users report needing to escalate or dispute charges to recover funds.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Cooling-off and digital content

New Zealand consumers generally have a 14-day cooling-off right for many purchases, but digital in-app subscriptions may be exempt.

Instant access to digital content can void the right to cancel under NZ rules, so trial and immediate access may limit cancellation rights.

Remedies and escalation

• If access issues, billing errors, or misrepresentation occur, you retain rights to remedies under NZ consumer law.
• Escalation options include contacting the App Store, Google Play, Chai support, or the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).
• Disputing the charge with your bank is a further option if refunds are not provided.

Common complaints

• Aggressive paywalls, ads, and billing/refund frustrations, including charges after trial cancellation.

Documentation checklist

Must-have documents

• Purchase receipts from Apple or Google Play showing the charge and subscription ID.
• Screenshots of subscription status, cancellation confirmation, and any trial dates.
• Emails or in-app messages from Chai confirming subscription or cancellation.

When you contact support

• Include dates, times, device type (iOS/Android), and the app store used for purchase.
• Attach screenshots and the last four digits of the payment method if available.
• Keep a clear timeline of actions taken (subscribe → cancel → charge → request refund).

Common mistakes

Cancelling in the wrong place

Example: cancelling inside the Chai app but forgetting the App Store or Google Play subscription, which continues to bill.

Always check the store subscription page (Apple or Google Play) as well as the Chai app when cancelling.

Missing timing and proof

Example: assuming a refund will be automatic without saving confirmation or screenshots of the cancellation moment.

Keep time-stamped proof of cancellation and any trial status to support refund requests or disputes.
