What is Loop
Overview
Loop is a South African company name used for two distinct products: a zone-based 5G device/data service and a delivery management software platform. The delivery software is commonly referred to as Loop Delivery Management.
Primary uses
Loop Delivery Management is used by logistics teams to plan routes, dispatch drivers, and track proof of delivery. The device/data product provides zone-based mobile data plans tied to a physical device.
How to cancel Loop
Web cancellations (Loop.co.za)
- Startup and Core plans: provide at least 30 days’ written notice before the next billing cycle.
- Professional and Enterprise plans: these include an initial 90‑day trial and a 12‑month commitment; after the 12‑month period, provide 90 days’ notice to cancel.
- Send cancellation via the method specified in your contract or the billing portal on the Loop web platform.
In‑app cancellations (App Store / Google Play)
- If you subscribed via the App Store or Google Play, cancel directly in that Application Store account.
- Billing, refunds and any store‑side disputes are governed by the relevant store’s terms, not Loop’s web cancellation process.
What happens when you cancel
Access and service termination
Access continues until the end of the paid period or until the notice period specified by your plan has elapsed.
For device plans that use a free‑to‑use device, you must return the device on or after cancellation as required by the plan terms.
Data and account information
Account data and history may remain accessible for a limited time after cancellation according to Loop’s internal data retention practices.
If you need copies of delivery records or CSV exports, export them before your access ends to avoid losing important operational data.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund position
Once a subscription period has started, fees are non‑refundable under Loop’s stated terms.
Refunds for prepaid periods are only considered in exceptional cases at the company’s discretion.
In‑app purchases and statutory rights
- If you bought via App Store or Google Play, any refund requests are handled under that store’s refund policy.
- Loop’s terms do not include an automatic 14‑day cooling‑off refund for software subscriptions.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
General protections
South African consumers have rights under the Consumer Protection Act and related legislation to receive services of good quality and as advertised.
These rights include protection against misleading terms and unfair billing practices.
How rights interact with Loop’s terms
- Loop’s terms state no automatic 14‑day cooling‑off for software subscriptions; this is not the same as statutory protections for defective goods or materially misleading conduct.
- If you believe Loop breached consumer law, you can lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission or seek legal advice.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Reviewers on Capterra praise Loop for strong support, real‑time driver visibility and operational efficiency.
Example: reviewers report seamless experience and effective dispatch tools as key strengths.
Negative feedback
Some users report difficulties with customer service responsiveness and warranty or returns handling in non‑software product contexts.
There are reports of unhelpful automated responses and challenges obtaining physical return labels or repair support.
Balance these views by checking current support channels and confirming device return procedures before subscribing.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Contract or order confirmation showing your plan type and billing cycle.
- Proof of payment for the current billing period.
- Any device serial numbers and device return instructions (if applicable).
What to include in your cancellation request
- Your account name, email and customer ID.
- Plan name (Startup/Core/Professional/Enterprise) and effective date for cancellation.
- Request for confirmation of receipt and final billing date.
Common mistakes
Missing required notice periods
Example: attempting to cancel a Core plan without giving the 30‑day notice will likely result in one more billing cycle.
Always confirm the exact notice window for your plan and allow time for processing.
Assuming in‑app refunds follow Loop web policy
Example: expecting Loop to process an App Store refund - instead, you must request the refund via the store where you purchased the subscription.
Check whether your purchase was processed by Apple/Google before submitting a refund request.
