What happens when you cancel
Access and renewal
Your paid access continues until the end of the paid billing period. After that date your subscription will not renew and your account downgrades to the free tier.

Active transfers created while your paid subscription was active remain live for up to 28 days after cancellation.
After the 28-day period the transfers are deleted according to WeTransfer’s retention rules.

Valid charges are generally non-refundable unless WeTransfer expressly provides a refund under its policy.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off rights
Under South African online consumer protections (Electronic Communications and Transactions), consumers generally have a seven-day cooling-off right to cancel services purchased online.
If exercised, businesses should refund the consumer in line with local law timelines.
Direct marketing and disclosure requirements
The Consumer Protection Act provides extra cooling-off protections for direct-marketing transactions and requires clear, plain-language disclosure of pricing and cancellation terms.
If cancellation or refund terms are unclear or buried, consumers may have recourse under these rules.
Customer experiences

Common complaints
Some users report upload interruptions, prompts to upgrade, or issues with billing and refunds. These complaints appear in public review platforms and are worth noting before subscribing.
If you experience billing errors or failed refunds, gather documentation early and contact support promptly.
Documentation checklist
Before you contact support
- Account email and username.
- Order receipts, invoice numbers, or App Store/Google Play purchase receipts.
- Dates of subscription start, renewal, and attempted cancellation.
When you report a problem
- Screenshots of subscription pages, cancellation confirmation, or billing statements.
- Screenshots of failed refund pages or error messages.
- Any support ticket ID or correspondence history.
Common mistakes
Assuming cancellation is immediate
Many users try to cancel and expect immediate service loss. In reality, cancellations typically take effect at the end of the billing period.
Requesting refunds via the wrong channel
Attempting to get an Apple or Google Play charge refunded through WeTransfer will fail. Use the platform where you purchased the subscription (App Store, Google Play) for refunds when required.
