FAQ

Q: What if I don't get a confirmation email after sending the cancellation request?
A: Check spam folders, then follow up with a 'firm' email template after 48 hours, referencing your initial request date.

Q: Can I cancel a subscription via email if I signed up through an app store?
A: Often no; you must cancel directly through the Apple/Google store. Use the email only to request a refund for erroneous post-cancellation charges.
