What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

Your access typically continues until the end of the current paid period or trial unless stated otherwise.

Canceling prevents future auto‑renewal but does not always generate an immediate refund.

Renewal, billing and data

Auto‑renewal stops after a successful cancellation; you should keep confirmation screenshots or emails as proof.

Diet Doctor retains account data per its terms; check the terms page for privacy and data retention details: Terms.

Will I get a refund?

Web Premium and trial policy

For web premium services, purchases are generally final after a free trial ends and Diet Doctor states no refunds unless they make an exception.

See the official paid services and refund policy: Paid services & refund policy (Zendesk).

App Store, Google Play and South African product refunds

• App Store (Apple): Apple manages iOS refunds; Diet Doctor cannot issue Apple refunds - contact Apple directly. See Terms: Terms.
• Google Play: Request refunds via Google Play; if unsuccessful contact Diet Doctor Help Center for further assistance.
• South African products (dietdoctor.co.za): Selected products include a 90‑day money‑back guarantee with specific conditions (one refund per household, unopened returns for combos). Details: Refunds & returns (dietdoctor.co.za).

Diet Doctor plans and pricing

Notes on pricing

Prices above are exact amounts in South African Rands as listed for South Africa and on the local site.

For subscription pricing via App Store/Google Play always check the platform listing for the final billed amount and any taxes.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

14‑day cooling‑off under the CPA

Under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), consumers generally have a 14‑day cooling‑off right for certain distance/online agreements.

You may be able to cancel and obtain a refund within this period where the CPA applies to the purchase.

How this applies to Diet Doctor

• Diet Doctor operates a South African site and local entity aspects, so South African consumer law can apply to local purchases.
• Diet Doctor’s stated no‑refund policy does not override statutory CPA rights; you may invoke CPA protections if applicable.
• App store purchases (Apple/Google) are generally governed by platform terms, so CPA applicability can be limited - check both platform and local law for options.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Many users report health improvements such as weight loss, better blood sugar control and improved cholesterol or inflammation markers.

Positive reviews and success stories are available on review platforms and Diet Doctor channels.

Negative feedback and recurring issues

• Frequent complaints involve unexpected auto‑renewal charges after attempting to cancel during a free trial.
• Some users report technical problems (login, app stability) that caused concerns about duplicate charges.
• See user reviews: Trustpilot reviews.

Documentation checklist

What to collect before you cancel

• Account email and username used for the subscription.
• Order number, billing transaction IDs or PayPal/credit card receipts.
• Screenshots of membership settings showing active subscription or trial end date.

What to keep after cancelling

• Cancellation confirmation email or screenshot of the final cancellation screen.
• Relevant correspondence with Diet Doctor support, Apple, Google or PayPal.
• Proof of any refund requests and responses.

Common mistakes

Not cancelling in the correct place

Example: cancelling in the app but the subscription was billed via the website or PayPal - this does not stop the real billing source.

Always confirm where the payment is processed (App Store, Google Play, PayPal, or Diet Doctor web) and cancel there.

Failing to complete all cancellation steps or saving proof

Example: clicking “cancel” but not finishing the final confirmation step in the membership flow can leave the subscription active.

Save confirmation emails/screenshots immediately and monitor the next billing cycle to ensure cancellation took effect.
