What happens when you cancel

Cancellation or downgrading is effective immediately and will stop future renewals.
If you downgrade (yearly→monthly or paid→free) the subscription ends immediately under Picktime’s stated terms.
Data and account status
Your account remains accessible per Picktime’s data and account policies, but paid features end on termination.
Export any data you need before cancelling if you rely on paid features or integrations.
Will I get a refund?
Official refund position
Picktime’s Terms explicitly state they do not provide refunds for payments toward subscription plans.
Downgrades or cancellations are effective immediately, but no refunds are issued. See: Picktime Terms.
Exceptions and payment providers
- Picktime’s publicly posted Terms do not mention any statutory 14-day cooling-off or refund right.
- If you paid through Stripe, Square, PayPal or another gateway, you may need to raise disputes with that provider under their procedures.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off and statutory rights
Picktime’s Terms do not reference a statutory 14-day cooling-off or refund right in their publicly posted conditions.
South African consumer protection laws may apply in some B2C contexts, but outcomes depend on the nature of the sale and local rules.
Disputes and payment gateways
- If you believe you have cause for a refund, first request resolution from Picktime via their documented support channels.
- If unresolved, raise a dispute with the payment provider used (Stripe, Square, PayPal) and consider seeking local consumer-advice resources in South Africa.

Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Record your current billing period start and end dates from your account.
- Export calendars, client lists, invoices, and any data tied to paid features.
When you request cancellation
- Keep a copy of the cancellation confirmation or the sent termination notice (email or screenshot).
- Note the exact time and method of cancellation and any confirmation ID provided by Picktime.
Common mistakes
Assuming refunds are automatic
Many users expect prorated refunds after cancellation; Picktime’s Terms state no refunds are provided.
Always check the Terms before cancelling if you expect a refund for unused time.
Confusing downgrade with pause
Downgrading from yearly to monthly or from paid to free immediately terminates the subscription without refund.
If you intended to pause features temporarily, confirm whether Picktime supports pauses before downgrading.
