What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel, your paid access typically remains active until the end of the current billing cycle. You can continue using premium features until that date.

Billing and renewals

Cancellation prevents future renewals. It does not automatically issue refunds for the remaining paid period unless a refund is approved separately.

Account and data

Your account and saved data usually remain after cancellation. Deleting an account or data typically requires a separate request to support or an account setting change.

Will I get a refund?

General policy

There is no automatic statutory 14-day cooling-off right for digital subscriptions in South Africa. Refunds depend on the provider and the purchase channel.

Common refund conditions

• Cancelled before the renewal billing cycle.
• Service was inaccessible, defective or misrepresented.
• Mistaken or accidental purchase, or misunderstanding of a trial period.
• Each request is considered case-by-case and requires contacting PlantSnap support or the platform's refund mechanism.

Timing for refunds

• Credit card refunds: typically 5 - 7 working days to appear.
• PayPal / Apple Pay / Google Pay refunds: typically 3 - 5 working days to appear.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off and returns

There is a 7-day right for goods bought online, but this does not typically apply to digital services like PlantSnap subscriptions. Digital services are treated differently under South African law.

Direct marketing exceptions

A 5 business-day cooling-off period applies only in direct marketing scenarios and not routinely to app subscriptions.

When refunds may apply

• If the service is defective, misrepresented or fails to perform as promised, refunds are more likely to be considered.
• Each refund is assessed on its own facts and may require evidence such as logs or screenshots.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some users report accurate identifications for mystery plants and useful alerts for plant health issues. These positive reports are often shared in hobbyist communities.

Negative feedback

Other users report poor accuracy in some cases, delays in customer support and problems with unexpected charges or difficulty obtaining refunds.

What to expect

Expect mixed experiences: identification accuracy can be good for many common species but is not perfect for all plants. Support responsiveness and refund outcomes may vary by channel.

Documentation checklist

Needed when requesting cancellation or refund

• Order receipt or transaction ID from App Store, Google Play, PayPal or bank statement.
• Date and time of the purchase and renewal charge.
• Screenshots showing the charge, subscription page or account settings.
• Short description of the issue and desired resolution (refund, partial refund, account cancellation).

Where to send documentation

Provide the documents when contacting the platform (Apple/Google/PayPal) or PlantSnap support at [email protected] as applicable.

Common mistakes

Canceling in the wrong place

Users sometimes try to cancel via the app but are billed by the App Store or Google Play. Always cancel through the store that charged you.

Assuming automatic refunds

Canceling does not automatically trigger a refund for the current period. You must request a refund and provide justification; decisions are made case-by-case.

Missing trial expiry

Not noting when a free trial ends is a frequent cause of unexpected charges. Check the trial terms and set a reminder if you plan to cancel before billing.
