What happens when you cancel
Access and service
After cancelling, you usually retain access until the end of the current billing period. Features tied to the subscription may stop functioning after that date.
Renewal and billing
Cancellation prevents future renewals if done before the next billing date. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid being billed for the next period.
Data and account
Your account data (settings, logs) may be retained according to the provider's data policy. If you want data removed, request deletion through support or account settings.
Will I get a refund?
Standard policy
Subscription fees and one‑time fees are generally non‑refundable unless required by applicable law or explicitly stated otherwise by the provider.
Platform exceptions
- If you purchased via the App Store or Google Play, refunds must be requested through Apple or Google refund processes - contact them directly.
- Website purchases may have a 30‑day money‑back guarantee only if you meet strict program conditions (for example, providing screenshots that you completed ≥7 workouts within 30 days where that program applies).
How to request a refund
Gather proof of purchase, usage and any required screenshots, and contact support via the app/website. For store purchases use the platform refund flows.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off and the ECT Act
Under South African law (ECT Act, Section 44) there can be a 7‑day cooling‑off period for some digital purchases, but this depends on the service and may be waived if performance began with your express consent.
Cancellation and refunds
- Deleting an app does not cancel a subscription - you must cancel via the correct store or account before renewal.
- Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to reduce the risk of being charged for the next period.
- Refund eligibility for website purchases may require meeting specific usage conditions; read terms before purchasing.
Practical advice
Keep receipts, screenshots and communication records. If a refund is refused, you can escalate to payment provider, or seek advice from South African consumer protection bodies.

Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Find your order ID or receipt (email confirmation or payment record).
- Note the platform used (App Store, Google Play, or website) and subscription dates.
- Take screenshots of active subscriptions in your account settings as proof.
If you request a refund
- Collect proof of purchase and any required usage evidence (e.g. screenshots showing required program completion such as ≥7 workouts if relevant).
- Save copies of all correspondence with support and any error messages or failures.
Common mistakes
Thinking uninstall = cancel
Many users uninstall the app and assume the subscription stops. This does not stop billing - you must cancel through the store or account settings.
Missing the cancellation window
Waiting until the renewal date can result in an unwanted charge. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to be safe.
Contacting the wrong support channel
Refunds for store purchases (Apple/Google) must go through those platforms. Contacting the vendor instead of the store can delay resolution.
Comparative recap

| Website | Manage Subscriptions in-app or contact support/chat | Possible if terms/usage criteria met | Provider support / in-app chat |
Key takeaway
Cancel through the correct channel for your purchase method, keep evidence, and act before renewal to avoid charges.
