What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

After cancellation you retain access to paid features until the end of your current paid subscription period.

Access does not typically stop immediately upon requesting cancellation unless you are within a free trial period that ends instantly.

Renewals and processing time

Once a cancellation is processed, the subscription will not renew at the next billing cycle.

Web cancellations are processed in about two business days; allow time for processing and for your payment provider to reflect the change.

Account and data

Your account typically remains active with any saved settings or history per Brain.fm’s terms of service.

If you need account deletion or data removal, consult Brain.fm’s terms or contact support for options.

Will I get a refund?

General web purchases

Brain.fm’s standard policy: no refunds for partial subscription terms.

You must cancel at least 24 hours before the period end to avoid the next charge; cancelling mid-period does not typically result in a pro rata refund.

European Union exception

EU consumers may receive a full refund within 14 days of purchase only if streaming or downloading has not begun.

Once streaming or download starts, the right to a refund under that 14-day window is typically lost.

App Store and Google Play purchases

Refunds for purchases made through Apple or Google are subject to Apple’s or Google’s refund policies.

Brain.fm cannot directly issue refunds for App Store or Google Play purchases; request refunds through the respective platform.

Cooling-off and refunds

South Africa does not provide an EU-style 14-day digital cooling-off right unless a vendor explicitly offers it.

Brain.fm’s standard terms (no partial refunds, EU exception only) apply to South African consumers.

Enforcement and options

South African users rely on the contract terms and vendor goodwill for refunds outside of platform policies.

If you believe you were charged incorrectly, prepare documentation and contact Brain.fm support or your payment provider for a dispute.

Practical advice

Always verify which platform you subscribed through (web, Apple, Google) before requesting cancellation or a refund.

For App Store or Google Play subscriptions, contact Apple or Google first for billing disputes.
