Services covered in this guide
This guide covers cancellation procedures for Unifi broadband (web), Unifi Mobile, and the Unifi Venue (app/platform) service where applicable. It also includes South Africa - specific consumer-rights notes and practical next steps for users based in South Africa.
How to cancel Unifi
Broadband (web) cancellation steps
- Provide 30 days' notice via MyUnifi portal, live chat, email ([email protected]) or at a TMpoint as specified by Unifi.
- A pre-final bill is issued and termination proceeds around day 31 after notice is given.
- Return any Unifi equipment within 7 days of termination instructions to avoid equipment penalties.
- If you cancel within a fixed contract period, be prepared for an early termination penalty equal to the remaining months' subscription.
Mobile and app platform cancellation steps
- For Unifi Mobile, initiate cancellation via the MyUnifi app live chat (Maya) and settle outstanding amounts within 3 working days.
- Mobile service is normally terminated within 24 hours after full payment of outstanding amounts; a final bill follows in the next billing cycle.
- For Unifi Venue (Unifi App Limited) free trials, cancel within the 30‑day trial to avoid auto-conversion; standard cancellation normally requires 30 days' notice and return of any hardware to recover deposits.
What happens when you cancel
Service access
After your cancellation notice and any required billing steps, service termination timing depends on the product: broadband typically completes around day 31; mobile usually disconnects within 24 hours of full payment.
Billing, final charges and penalties
Unifi issues a pre-final or final bill. Early termination during a contract period may trigger a penalty equal to the remaining months' subscription.
Data and account handling
Account data and in-app content handling follow Unifi's terms for each product. If you need copies of records, request them before closure to avoid losing access.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Unifi (Malaysia broadband and mobile) refunds credit balances within 90 days after termination where applicable. There is no general entitlement to cash refunds if other terms (like early termination penalties) apply.
Exceptions and deposits
- Unifi App Limited (Venue) may return hardware deposits when hardware is returned in line with their terms and conditions.
- Early termination penalties, outstanding bills or failure to return equipment may reduce or eliminate any refund.
Notes for South African customers
Unifi's published policies do not explicitly provide a 14‑day automatic refund right for South African customers. South African statutory cooling‑off or return rights are covered below and may affect remedies available locally.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off and contract cancellation
Under South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (CPA), consumers generally have a right to cancel certain contracts concluded at a distance or through direct marketing within a cooling‑off period (typically seven business days for online or direct marketing). Specifics depend on how and where the contract was concluded.
Quality, billing disputes and remedies
The CPA also requires goods and services to be of reasonable quality. If you have unresolved billing disputes or suspect unfair terms, you can raise a complaint with the National Consumer Commission or the appropriate industry ombudsman.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Reviews of the Unifi Venue platform note the convenience of a free‑trial model and an intuitive user interface that many users find easy to use across devices.
Negative feedback
Some users report instability and interface bugs on certain devices (for example iPad/iPhone), and others report slower support responses or billing issues after termination in public forums.
Documentation checklist
What to prepare before you cancel
- Your account number, MyUnifi login or mobile number tied to the account.
- Identification (ID/passport) and proof of address if required for verification.
- Latest invoice or billing statement and any proof of recent payments.
- Serial numbers or asset tags for any leased Unifi hardware to be returned.
- Written cancellation request or chat transcript reference where possible.
Where to present documentation
- Use the MyUnifi portal or the live chat in MyUnifi for electronic requests.
- Email: [email protected] for broadband-related correspondence as per Unifi guidance.
- Bring physical documentation to a TMpoint if instructed or required.
Common mistakes
Not giving correct notice
Many customers assume an instant cancellation. For Unifi broadband you must give 30 days' notice; failing to do so can delay termination and incur extra charges.
Failing to return equipment or settle outstanding amounts
Not returning supplied equipment within the required timeframe can trigger penalties. For Unifi Mobile, failing to settle outstanding balances promptly can prevent final termination and prolong billing.
Missing platform trial rules
For Unifi Venue free trials, not cancelling inside the 30‑day trial window can cause automatic conversion to a paid subscription and potential loss of deposit without hardware return.
