This policy applies regardless of how long remains in the billing period, per their support guidance.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Statutory cooling-off and returns
Ride with GPS does not offer a 14-day refund through their own policy, stating "all sales are final".
However, New Zealand consumer law and the Consumer Guarantees Act may provide remedies for online purchases in some circumstances.
How to proceed in NZ
- Check whether you have grounds for a refund under NZ law (for example, faulty or misrepresented services).
- Contact Ride with GPS support first, and retain receipts and correspondence. If unresolved, contact New Zealand consumer authorities for advice.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some New Zealand users report excellent, fast online help and praise the mapping system for long rides like the Tour Aotearoa.
Many cyclists consider Ride with GPS to be the best app for planning and navigation and return to it after trying alternatives.
Negative feedback
Negative reports include complaints about a strict "NON REFUNDABLE" policy and perceived difficulty cancelling in some cases.
Other common issues reported are continued charges after cancellation, interface glitches, complicated route editing and mixed support experiences.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Account email and username used for Ride with GPS.
- Receipt or invoice showing the purchase date and amount.
- Transaction ID from your bank, Apple or Google purchase history.
Other helpful items
- Screenshots of subscription status, cancellation attempts or error messages.
- Any confirmation emails from Ride with GPS, Apple or Google and correspondence with support.
Common mistakes
Canceling in the wrong place
A frequent error is cancelling on the Ride with GPS site when the subscription was purchased via the App Store or Google Play.
If you bought the subscription in-app, you must cancel through Apple or Google; web cancellation may not stop store billing.
Timing and expectations
Another mistake is assuming refunds are automatic - Ride with GPS declares sales final, so refunds are not guaranteed.
Also remember to cancel at least 24 hours before renewal when using App Store or Google Play to avoid being billed for the next period.
