What is Tivimate
Overview
Tivimate is an IPTV player app for Android-based devices that organises live TV playlists and provides EPG, multi‑channel viewing and recording features.
The app offers both subscription (annual) and one‑time (lifetime) premium activations to unlock advanced features.
How users typically use it
Users load third‑party IPTV playlists or provider streams into the player; Tivimate itself does not supply TV channels or streaming subscriptions.
Premium features are managed via Google Play (Android) or App Store (iOS) and via one‑time purchases on the Tivimate website.
How to cancel Tivimate
Cancel on Android (Google Play)
- Open the Google Play Store app on the device that purchased the subscription.
- Tap your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, then find Tivimate and choose Cancel subscription.
- Important: cancel in Google Play before the next renewal if you do not want the subscription to auto‑renew.
Cancel on iPhone / iPad (App Store)
- Open iOS Settings → tap your Apple ID at the top → Subscriptions.
- Find Tivimate in the list and select Cancel Subscription; Tivimate cannot cancel App Store subscriptions directly for you.
- Confirm the cancellation; you keep access until the end of the current billing period.
Lifetime / Web purchases
- Lifetime purchases from tivimate.co.com are one‑time payments and do not auto‑renew, so "cancellation" is not applicable.
- For account or activation issues with a lifetime purchase, contact Tivimate support via the official site and provide proof of purchase.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
If you cancel a subscription during an active billing period you will generally retain premium access until the period ends.
After the period ends, premium features are disabled unless you repurchase or reactivate the subscription.
Renewal and account state
Subscriptions purchased through Google Play or the App Store will not be auto‑renewed once cancelled via those stores.
Tivimate does not directly control store billing; store subscription settings determine future renewals.
Data and settings
Your local app settings and playlists typically remain on your device after cancellation unless you delete the app or data manually.
Recorded files or imported playlists depend on the device and storage; export important items before uninstalling.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling‑off and ECTA
Under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA) Section 44 there is a 7‑day cooling‑off right for goods or services delivered electronically in some circumstances.
That right can apply if the digital service has not yet been accessed or activated; see the official ECTA guidance for details.

Consumer Protection Act and digital content
The Consumer Protection Act and related interpretations often treat delivered or accessed digital content as exempt from cooling‑off once access is provided.
This means refunds are not always legally required after digital content is delivered unless it is defective or misrepresented.
For practical guidance on refunds and returns for digital goods see a local consumer returns resource.

Documentation checklist
Essential items to gather
- Purchase receipt or order confirmation (screenshot or email).
- Subscription ID or transaction ID from Google Play / App Store where available.
- Device model, app version and dates of purchase/activation.
Helpful extras
- Screenshots showing the subscription in your store account and any error messages.
- Evidence of duplicate charges or failed activations if requesting an exception refund.
- Any correspondence with Tivimate support or store support agents.
Common mistakes
Forgetting which store was used
A common error is trying to cancel inside the Tivimate app rather than in the store (Google Play or App Store) used to buy the subscription.
Always check which account and store handled the purchase before attempting cancellation.
Assuming refunds are automatic
Many users assume a subscription can be refunded automatically; Tivimate’s policy is restrictive and stores have their own refund rules.
If the subscription was already accessed, refunds are unlikely unless there’s a duplication or technical failure.
