What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel a recurring subscription you typically retain access until the end of the paid billing period.

Access end dates depend on the store used for purchase (Google Play, Apple, or direct web purchase).

Renewals and auto-renew

Cancelling stops future auto-renewal; it does not usually refund the current billing period automatically.

Ensure you cancel before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.

Account data and content

Your account, saved tabs and settings usually remain unless you delete your account separately.

If you want data removed, contact support and request account deletion following their procedures.

Will I get a refund?

Official refund policy (general)

Ultimate Guitar does not issue automatic refunds when you cancel; refunds are considered case-by-case and not guaranteed.

To request a refund you must contact Ultimate Guitar support and provide purchase details and justification.

Common exceptions and examples

• Refund requests are often denied, including for alleged misleading trial charges.
• One reported EU case received a full refund only after escalation to the European Consumer Centre.
• For guidance on refund expectations see a published walkthrough: Refund and cancellation notes.

Ultimate Guitar plans and pricing

Pricing availability

Verified pricing details were not available in the provided sources for South Africa.

Contact Ultimate Guitar or check your app store listing for current local prices and promotions.

How to get local pricing

• Open the app store (Google Play or Apple App Store) and view the subscription product page for local currency pricing.
• If you purchased directly on the web, check your account Billing page or email receipts for exact charges.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Relevant protections

The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) in South Africa protects consumers from unfair contract terms and provides rights for fixed-term agreements.

The CPA can allow early cancellation and refunds under certain conditions, especially where terms are unfair or misleading.

What to do locally

• Keep purchase receipts and communications to support any complaint.
• Contact the National Consumer Commission for guidance if you believe rights under the CPA were breached.
• Consult local legal advice for complex cases involving digital subscriptions and cross-border providers.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Many users praise Ultimate Guitar for its large tab library and Pro tools such as transposing and playback.

Long-term users sometimes report good value, especially when using promotions or lifetime deals.

Negative feedback

Common complaints include aggressive upselling, confusing or missing cancellation options, and difficulty obtaining refunds.

User reviews and reports illustrate these patterns; see aggregated reviews here: User reviews.

Documentation checklist

What to gather before contacting support

• Account email or username used for the subscription.
• Receipt or invoice showing the charge (from Google, Apple or card statement).
• Transaction ID, date of purchase, and device/store used (Google Play / Apple / Web).
• Screenshots showing subscription status, billing history, and any trial offer text.

Additional items that help

• Written timeline of actions you took (date you subscribed, cancelled, and any support messages).
• Bank/card provider contact info if you need to dispute a charge.
• Local consumer protection reference if you plan to escalate (e.g., National Consumer Commission details).

Common mistakes

Assuming cancellation in the app always works

Many users assume tapping cancel in the app is sufficient; if you subscribed via Google Play or Apple you must cancel through that store.

Failing to cancel in the correct store can lead to unintended renewals.

Missing proof when asking for refunds

Not saving receipts or screenshots makes refund requests harder to support.

Also, waiting too long to request a refund after a renewal reduces the chance of a positive outcome.
