What happens when you cancel
Access and coverage
When you cancel, your cover generally remains active until the end of the current billing cycle. You should receive an email confirmation of the cancellation after you complete the steps.
Renewal, fees and records
Cancellation stops future renewals and, according to available summaries, there are no standard cancellation fees. The insurer will keep records of your policy and cancellation; retain the confirmation email for your records.
Will I get a refund?
Published refund position
Citymain does not appear to publish a blanket statutory 14-day cooling-off or automatic refund policy for South Africa. Public summaries indicate refunds are handled case-by-case rather than automatically.
Exceptions and how to request a refund
- There is no clear public statement of automatic pro‑rata or full refunds; if you believe a refund is due (for example accidental charge), contact Citymain support or the app-store/provider you used to purchase the subscription.
- If you purchased via Google Play or Apple App Store, you can also request a refund through the platform’s refund process; Citymain’s role is limited for those purchases.

Relevant local principles
Citymain’s public information does not indicate a specific statutory 14‑day cooling‑off period or refund entitlement in South Africa. Refunds are typically considered on a discretionary, case‑by‑case basis.
Payment platform and typical insurer practice
- For App Store and Google Play purchases, platform refund procedures may apply and can be used in parallel with contacting Citymain.
- In similar insurance contexts in South Africa, policies may allow cancellation at any time but often do not publish pro‑rata refunds; insurers sometimes retain premiums for the period already covered.

Documentation checklist
For cancellation
- Your account email and password or account access
- Policy or subscription reference number
- Payment method details (to verify which platform was used)
For refund or disputed charge requests
- Proof of payment (bank or app‑store receipt)
- Dates of charge and cancellation confirmation
- Any supporting correspondence with Citymain or the app platform
Common mistakes
During cancellation
Users sometimes forget which channel they used to subscribe (website vs app store). Canceling in the wrong place may not stop renewals, so confirm your subscription source before cancelling.
Refund expectations
Assuming an automatic pro‑rata refund is available is a common mistake. Citymain’s publicly summarized position indicates refunds are not automatic and are decided case‑by‑case.
