Online and special-case cancellations
What happens when you cancel
Service access and final meter reads
When you cancel, the supplier will arrange final meter reads or use the next scheduled read to calculate final charges.
Any outstanding balance for electricity already consumed remains payable according to your billing cycle.
Account closure and data
Cancellation typically results in account closure after final billing, but the company retains account records per its policies.
Request written confirmation of account closure and a final statement to document the cancellation outcome.
Will I get a refund?
Refunds during the 60-day satisfaction guarantee
New customers on their first plan can cancel within 60 days under the satisfaction guarantee and only pay for electricity used; the cancellation fee is waived.
Details are published by 4Change Energy: 4Change Energy satisfaction guarantee.
Other refund timing and conditions
- There is a short rescission right of about three federal business days on receipt of terms in certain jurisdictions (no penalty if exercised promptly). See guidance: joinchargeback.
- Refunds or account credits are typically processed within roughly 15 days after cancellation according to consumer guides, though some customers report longer waits.
- After the 60-day window, early termination fees usually apply (commonly about $20 per remaining month); fees may be waived if you move out of the service area with proof of relocation.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
General South African consumer protections
South African consumers have statutory protections such as cooling-off rights for certain agreements and protections under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA).
These rights can include the right to cancel certain transactions and to fair contract terms; local applicability depends on where the contract was made and the supplier’s operations.
How this applies to 4Change Energy
4Change Energy is a U.S.-based supplier offering U.S. cancellation policies (3-business-day rescission, 60-day satisfaction guarantee) as publicly described.
If you are in South Africa, confirm whether the CPA or other local rules can be invoked and whether 4Change Energy will accept a cancellation under South African law.

Documentation checklist
What to prepare before cancelling
- Account number and service address.
- Recent bill and last meter read (photograph if needed).
- Proof of relocation if you are requesting a waiver of early termination fees.
What to request during cancellation
- Written confirmation of cancellation (email or letter).
- Final statement showing usage charges, credits and any applied fees.
Common mistakes
Assuming universal refund rules
Do not assume EU-style 14-day automatic refunds apply; 4Change Energy cites a 3-business-day rescission in some cases and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee for new customers.
Confirm the applicable cancellation window for your specific contract before relying on assumed protections.
Poor documentation and missed follow-up
Not getting written confirmation or failing to document phone calls causes disputes about fees or ongoing charges.
Always request an emailed cancellation confirmation and keep screenshots or copies of final bills and any relocation proofs.
