What is Arcadia
Service overview
Arcadia is a subscription‑based service that helps customers access cleaner energy and receive credits or savings on electricity costs.
The service connects households to local renewable energy sources and manages credits or billing adjustments on behalf of subscribers.
Who it applies to
Arcadia is used by residential customers who want to track clean energy usage or receive community solar or renewable energy credits.
Customers may subscribe via Arcadia’s website or app; cancellation support is handled through Arcadia Support channels.

What happens when you cancel
Access and service changes
When your cancellation is processed, Arcadia will stop providing subscription services and cease future billing for the account.
Exact timing for service termination can vary by product, especially for community solar commitments.
Data and account records
Arcadia will retain account records per its policies; request specific data deletion or export when you cancel if you need copies of past statements.
If third‑party partners or lenders are involved, they may retain contact or application records; ask Arcadia which partners received your data.
Will I get a refund?
Arcadia’s stated policy
Arcadia Support states there are no cancellation fees for general subscription cancellations and instructs customers to contact support to cancel.
Platform purchases (App Store / Google Play) appear to be routed through Arcadia support rather than a separate app‑store cancellation policy.
South Africa consumer law that may apply
- Under South Africa’s Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA) you may cancel service agreements concluded remotely within 7 days without penalty; refunds must be made within 30 days. ECTA s44
- The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) also provides cooling‑off protections for direct marketing and other transactions; these rights can require refunds even if the supplier’s policy says "no refunds". See local summaries for timing and conditions. CPA overview

Your consumer rights in South Africa
ECTA cooling‑off rights
Consumers who conclude agreements electronically or remotely have a 7‑day cooling‑off right under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act.
If you cancel within that period, the supplier must refund any payments within 30 days. Read ECTA s44
CPA and direct marketing protections
- Direct marketing purchases may attract a CPA cooling‑off period (commonly 5 business days) with refunds due within 15 business days in some cases.
- Statutory rights cannot be overridden by a business "no refunds" policy; rely on the CPA and ECTA where applicable. See a practical summary for refunds and returns. Refunds & Returns (summary)
Customer experiences
Positive feedback

Trustpilot ratings include positive comments about helpful staff and timely communication. Trustpilot reviews
Negative feedback and caveats
Some reviewers report that approvals shown in the process were later changed or that outcomes were uncertain.
As a broker, Arcadia may pass your details to multiple partners or lenders, which can lead to multiple contact attempts and varying offers.
Documentation checklist
Before you contact support
- Registered account email address used with Arcadia.
- Account ID, subscription plan name, and start date if available.
- Any recent invoices, payment receipts, or screenshots showing charges.
When you send the cancellation request
- Clear subject line: "Cancel My Account".
- State the reason for cancellation and whether you request a refund under local cooling‑off rights.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation and expected refund timing (if applicable).
Common mistakes
Using the wrong email or contact method
Do not send a cancellation request from an email address that is not registered to the Arcadia account; this delays verification and processing.
Always use the registered email or call support to confirm identity.
Missing statutory deadlines or evidence
Failing to request cancellation within the ECTA 7‑day window or not keeping proof of your cancellation request can weaken your refund claim.
Keep copies of emails, timestamps, and any confirmations you receive from Arcadia.
