What is Familo

• Open iPhone Settings and tap your name.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

If you cancel via an app store the subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle.

For web cancellations access typically ends at the end of the paid period unless otherwise stated.

Renewal and billing

Auto‑renewal stops after cancellation, so you should not be charged for the next cycle.

Charges already processed are not automatically refunded; see the refunds section below.

Data and account

Cancelling a subscription does not necessarily delete your Familo account or stored data.

Log in to the Familo site or contact support to request account deletion if required.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Relevant laws

New Zealand consumers are protected by the Fair Trading Act and the Consumer Guarantees Act.

These laws provide remedies for services that are misrepresented or fail to meet reasonable expectations.

How to act if you have a problem

• If you were misled or billed incorrectly, contact Familo support first and keep records of communication.
• If unresolved, you may lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission or seek a chargeback via your bank.
• Store refund windows (30/14 days) do not necessarily override statutory consumer rights in NZ.

Practical steps

Collect proof of purchase, screenshots and any correspondence before escalating a dispute.

Contact your payment provider to question unauthorised or continued charges if cancellation attempts failed.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Documentation checklist

Proof of purchase

• App Store or Play Store receipt (order number, purchase date).
• Web invoice or payment confirmation if purchased on familo.net.

Evidence of cancellation attempts

• Screenshots showing subscription page, cancel button, or errors.
• Email threads or support ticket IDs and timestamps.

Bank and account records

• Bank or card statement entries showing charges from Familo.
• Account username, email associated with Familo and device details.

Common mistakes

Canceling the wrong account

Users sometimes cancel a subscription tied to a different Apple/Google account than the one used to purchase Familo.

Always verify the account/email shown on your purchase receipt before cancelling.

Assuming cancellation equals refund

Cancelling stops future billing but does not automatically refund past charges.

Request refunds separately through the app store or Familo support as appropriate.

Missing proof for disputes

Not saving receipts, screenshots or communication makes disputes slower and less likely to succeed.

Gather documentation before contacting your bank or regulators.
