How to cancel Genomelink

Online via Genomelink website

• Log into your Genomelink account.
• Go to the Plans section.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "CANCEL" button to stop the subscription immediately.

By email

• Send a cancellation request to [email protected] including your account email and order details.
• Use email as an alternative if you cannot cancel from the Plans page.

What happens when you cancel

Access and features

Subscription access is stopped immediately when cancellation is completed via the website.

Depending on the account state, the account may be deactivated upon cancellation.

Billing and renewal

Auto-renewal stops after cancellation; you should receive confirmation that no further recurring charges will occur.

If you paid via an app store, renewals must be turned off in that store's subscription settings.

Data and account status

Genomelink's publicly available notes indicate account deactivation on cancellation; specific data retention or deletion timelines are not detailed here.

Save any reports or screenshots you need before cancelling if you want local copies of your data.

Will I get a refund?

Standard refund rules

Full refund is available if you cancel within 24 hours of subscribing.

In most other cases, Genomelink lists à la carte purchases and many subscriptions as generally final and non-refundable.

Exceptions and timing

• First-time annual unlimited plan: if cancelled within 30 days, an automatic refund is processed in approximately 5 - 10 working days.
• Other subscriptions or à la carte items: usually no refunds unless a special exception applies.

Practical tips

Request refunds promptly and include order details to speed processing.

If you paid through a third party (App Store/Google Play), refunds may need to be requested from that store.

Genomelink plans and pricing

Public pricing availability

There is no verified, itemised pricing provided in the materials available for this guide.

If you need exact costs, contact Genomelink support or check your purchase confirmation for the price charged.

Contact for exact prices

Use your account billing page or the support email to confirm the plan and price you were charged.

Store purchases may show different pricing and need to be checked in the App Store or Google Play receipts.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off period

Under South Africa's Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, consumers have a seven (7) day right to cancel online service contracts.

If cancelled within this period, you are entitled to a full refund (direct return costs may be deducted) with refund due within 30 days.

Interaction with provider terms

Even if Genomelink's terms state "no refunds," South African law can override that for qualifying online transactions canceled within the statutory cooling-off period.

Assert your rights promptly and include purchase details and the cancellation date when requesting a refund.

How to claim your rights

• Notify Genomelink via their website or [email protected] within seven days of purchase.
• Keep proof of purchase, cancellation request, and any communication records to support the claim.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some users praise weekly delivery of new traits and lifetime additions to their trait library.

Long-term subscribers report satisfaction with ongoing updates and insights.

Common complaints

Negative reviews highlight concerns about pricing transparency and difficulty contacting support.

Other reported issues include perceived inaccuracies in ancestry/ethnicity results and occasional login or account access problems.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Account email address and username.
• Order number or receipt and date of purchase.
• Screenshot of billing statement showing the charge.

If you request a refund

• Clear statement of the reason for cancellation and refund request.
• Evidence of cancellation within applicable windows (24 hours, 30 days, or 7-day cooling-off).
• Any prior correspondence with support (dates and copies).

Common mistakes

Using the wrong cancellation channel

Example: Trying to cancel an App Store subscription from the Genomelink website. If you subscribed through a store, you must cancel in that store's settings.

This mismatch can leave auto-renewal active and result in unexpected charges.

Missing refund windows

Example: Waiting longer than 24 hours to ask for a full refund or beyond 30 days for the first-time annual exception.

Delays reduce the likelihood of a successful refund if the vendor's policy is restrictive.

After cancelling

Immediate checks

Confirm you received on-screen confirmation or an email acknowledging cancellation.

Review your bank or card statement to ensure no further charges occur after cancellation.

When to escalate

• If you do not receive a refund you qualify for, re-send your request with evidence and dates.
• If the problem persists, consider filing a dispute with your payment provider or seeking consumer protection help in South Africa.
