How to cancel Riverside

Overview of channels

Cancellations depend on how you subscribed: App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), or directly on the Riverside website. Each channel has its own cancellation process and rules.

Step-by-step instructions

• App Store (iOS) - Open the App Store on your iPhone/iPad, go to your Apple account, select Manage Subscriptions, find Riverside, and choose Cancel. Riverside cannot cancel App Store subscriptions for you.
• Google Play (Android) - Open Google Play, tap your profile, go to Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, select Riverside, and Cancel. Riverside cannot cancel Google Play subscriptions for you.
• Web (Riverside website) - Sign in to your Riverside account on the website, go to the billing or account page, and choose Cancel Subscription or Stop Auto‑Renewal. This stops future charges; refunds depend on eligibility.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel, you generally keep access until the end of the current paid period. Access to paid features ends at the subscription expiry unless otherwise stated by Riverside.

Auto-renewal and billing

Cancelling stops future auto-renewal. If you cancel a recurring plan, future billing should stop, but already processed payments are typically not reversed automatically.

Data and recordings

Your recordings and account data may remain available for a period after cancellation. It is wise to download any important files before your access expires.

Will I get a refund?

Web subscriptions (direct purchases)

Monthly web subscriptions: Riverside’s policy allows a full refund if cancellation is requested within 48 hours of purchase.

Yearly web subscriptions: Riverside’s policy allows a full refund if cancellation is requested within 14 days of purchase.

App store subscriptions and exceptions

Subscriptions purchased via Apple or Google must follow Apple’s or Google’s refund processes. Riverside cannot issue refunds for app store purchases.

AI credits and non-refundable items

AI credits are non-refundable and non-transferable with no cash value. Unused AI credits will not be refunded or carried forward.

Riverside plans and pricing

Pricing notes

Riverside charges in USD; listed prices are the stated monthly (or annual) amounts. Actual ZAR cost depends on your payment method and bank exchange rate at purchase time.

Billing and plans

Business plans are custom and require contacting Riverside sales for a quote. See the table below for standard plans and features.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off and the CPA

The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) gives buyers a 'cooling-off' right for direct distance selling of fixed-term services. This generally allows cancellation within 5 business days of purchase and a full refund.

Digital subscriptions and fairness

Digital subscriptions with immediate access can be treated differently, but fairness and clearly communicated terms should be honoured. Riverside’s stated web refund terms (48 hours monthly, 14 days yearly) are examples of such terms.

Auto-renewal and recourse

Under South African law, auto-renewal terms should be clearly disclosed and consumers should receive timely reminders. If charged improperly, you can dispute with your bank (chargeback) or lodge a complaint with consumer bodies.

Documentation checklist

Before contacting support

• Purchase receipt or invoice (web or app store receipt).
• Subscription confirmation email and account username or email.
• Dates of purchase, renewal, and cancellation request.
• Screenshot of billing/receipt showing the charge (bank or card statement).

For disputes or complaints

• Transcript of support chats or ticket numbers.
• Screenshot evidence of failed recordings or errors if relevant.
• Any refund correspondence and timelines.

Common mistakes

Assuming all cancellations are handled the same

Many users try to cancel on the Riverside website after subscribing via the App Store or Google Play. App store subscriptions must be cancelled in that store, not on Riverside’s site.

Not saving proof or files in time

Users sometimes lose access to recordings after expiry. Always download important files and save proof of purchase before access ends.

Comparative recap

Summary of differences

The table below highlights core differences between Riverside and typical cloud meeting platforms such as Zoom/Google Meet, based on common user feedback.

Recommendation

Choose Riverside if you need high-quality, multi-track local recordings and AI production tools. Consider typical meeting apps for simple group calls or where recording quality is less critical.

After cancelling

Immediate actions

Download any recordings and export transcripts before your access ends. Save receipts and confirmation of cancellation for your records.

Where to get help and read feedback

For community reviews and reported issues, consult third-party review pages such as Tekpon, TrustPilot, and GetApp ZA.

If you believe you were charged unfairly, contact your bank for a possible chargeback and consider lodging a complaint with consumer protection bodies in South Africa.
