Cancel Amare: Your Complete Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel your Amare subscription in canada: your complete step-by-step guide

Understanding Amare and why you might cancel

Amare is a wellness company specializing in nutritional supplements focused on mental and gut-brain health. The company operates in Canada through a direct-selling model, offering one-time purchases, recurring "Subscribe & Save" subscriptions, and an annual Brand Partner membership for independent distributors. If you've enrolled in a subscription or membership and need to step away, Tocancel is here to walk you through every option available to you.

You might be cancelling for several reasons: your subscription no longer fits your budget, you've found a product that works better for you, or you simply want to pause your recurring charges. Whatever your situation, understanding the cancellation process upfront saves you time and prevents unwanted billing surprises.

What you need to know before you cancel

Amare allows you to cancel your Subscribe & Save subscription, product orders, or Brand Partner membership at any time. However, timing matters. If you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled shipment date, that order may still process and be charged to your account. Additionally, annual Brand Partner membership fees are non-refundable in most cases, though Amare offers a 90-day satisfaction guarantee on products themselves.

Before you reach out to support, gather your account details: your account email, order number, subscription ID, and the specific service you want to cancel. This preparation ensures a smooth cancellation experience and reduces back-and-forth communication with Amare's support team.

Your legal rights as a canadian consumer

Canadian consumer protection law gives you clear rights when dealing with subscriptions and memberships. Understanding these rights means you can cancel with confidence and know exactly where you stand if Amare refuses your request.

Consumer protection legislation that protects you

Your legal position is straightforward: under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection laws (such as Ontario's Consumer Protection Act and British Columbia's Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act), you have the right to cancel any subscription or recurring billing arrangement. Companies cannot lock you into indefinite payments without your ongoing consent, and they must provide a clear, easy cancellation process.

Additionally, Canada's Uniform Electronic Commerce Act requires companies to honour cancellation requests made through electronic means (email, online account management) within a reasonable timeframe, typically 30 days. Amare must process your cancellation and stop charging your payment method once you submit a valid request. This means if Amare continues to bill you after you cancel, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company under the Consumer Protection Act.

What to do if Amare ignores your cancellation request

If Amare does not cancel your subscription within 30 days of your request, or if they continue charging you after cancellation, you have escalation options. First, send a formal written demand to Amare's customer service requesting confirmation of cancellation and a refund of unauthorized charges. If Amare does not respond within 14 days, contact your provincial consumer protection authority or the Competition Bureau of Canada.

In Ontario, file a complaint with the Ontario Attorney General's Consumer Protection Office. In British Columbia, contact the BC Consumer Protection Office. In other provinces, reach out to your provincial Ministry of Consumer Affairs. These agencies investigate complaints about unfair billing practices and can force companies to refund consumers. Tocancel recommends keeping all email correspondence, cancellation confirmations, and billing statements as evidence of your cancellation request and Amare's non-compliance.

Three direct cancellation methods with Amare

Amare gives you three ways to cancel, each with its own advantages and timeline. Choose the method that best fits your schedule and comfort level.

Cancel by phone with Amare canada support

Calling Amare's dedicated Canada support line is often the fastest way to confirm cancellation in real time. A representative can verify your account, process your request immediately, and answer any questions about pending orders or refunds.

1. Call 1-888-362-2009 during Amare's business hours (check their website for current hours).
   • Have your account email, order number, and subscription ID ready.
   • Call at least 24 hours before your next scheduled shipment date if you want to stop the current month's order.
2. Clearly state whether you want to cancel:
   • A Subscribe & Save subscription
   • Your Brand Partner annual membership
   • A specific product order
3. Ask the representative to confirm the cancellation in writing via email.
   • Request a reference number or confirmation code for your records.
   • Verify the cancellation effective date and when billing will stop.
4. End the call only after you have received written confirmation.
   • If you don't receive an email within 24 hours, follow up immediately.

Phone cancellation creates real-time accountability. The representative must process your request immediately, and you walk away with a reference number you can cite if billing issues arise later. This method protects you because there is no delay or ambiguity about when your cancellation took effect.

Cancel via email for a documented record

Email cancellation creates a permanent paper trail and works well if you prefer written communication or need to cancel outside of business hours. Amare's email method also allows you to include detailed instructions about refunds or returns.

1. Send your cancellation request to:
   • Canada: [email protected]
   • US/Global: [email protected] (if you have a cross-border account)
2. Include in your email:
   • Your full name and account email address
   • Order number or subscription ID
   • Specific service to cancel (subscription, membership, or product)
   • Cancellation effective date preference
   • Any special requests (return authorization, refund inquiry)
3. Use a clear subject line: "Cancellation Request - [Your Name] - [Subscription ID]"
   • Send from the email address associated with your Amare account.
   • Keep a copy of the email for your records.
4. Allow 3-5 business days for a response.
   • If you don't hear back within 5 business days, send a follow-up email marked "URGENT: Cancellation Confirmation Required".
5. Once Amare confirms cancellation, verify that your next billing cycle does not occur.
   • Check your credit card or bank statement within 7 days to confirm no charge was applied.

Email provides legal proof that you submitted a valid cancellation request. Under Canadian electronic commerce law, Amare must honour email cancellation requests. If they later claim they never received your email, you have timestamped evidence to dispute that claim with your bank or credit card company.

Cancel through your online Amare account

If Amare provides a self-service cancellation option in your online account, this is often the fastest method. You can cancel immediately without waiting for business hours or customer service response times.

1. Log into your Amare account on their website or mobile app.
   • If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it.
2. Navigate to "My Account" and then to "Orders" or "Subscriptions".
   • Locate the subscription or membership you want to cancel.
   • Look for a "Cancel" or "Manage Subscription" button.
3. Click the cancellation option and follow the on-screen prompts.
   • Amare may ask you to confirm your reason for cancelling or offer a discount to retain your subscription. You are not obligated to accept any offer.
   • Proceed to the final cancellation screen.
4. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page showing your cancellation was processed.
   • Note the confirmation number and date.
   • Save this screenshot to your computer or cloud storage as proof.
5. Verify cancellation by checking your account within 24 hours.
   • Your subscription status should show "Cancelled" or "Inactive".
   • Monitor your next billing date to confirm no charge occurs.

Self-service cancellation is immediate and leaves an instant digital footprint in your account. This method is ideal if you want to cancel outside business hours and have proof documented within Amare's own system.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation doesn't end the moment Amare processes your request. Understanding what comes next helps you avoid surprise charges and know exactly what to expect.

Billing and refund timelines

Once you cancel your subscription or membership, Amare stops recurring charges effective on your cancellation date. However, any order that shipped before you cancelled will still arrive and has already been charged. If you cancel within 24 hours of a scheduled shipment and the order processes anyway, you can contact Amare to refuse delivery or request a refund under their 90-day satisfaction guarantee.

For refunds on unopened, unused products purchased within 90 days, Amare typically processes refunds to your original payment method within 7-14 business days. Check your credit card or bank statement to confirm the refund appears. If you don't see the refund within 14 days, contact Amare with your order confirmation and request a refund status update.

Annual Brand Partner membership fees are generally non-refundable, even if you cancel after a few months. However, if Amare advertised your membership as refundable or you can demonstrate material misrepresentation, you may have grounds to dispute the charge with your credit card company under the Consumer Protection Act. Tocancel recommends reviewing your original membership terms to confirm the refund policy before you cancel.

Verifying your cancellation was processed

After you submit your cancellation request, take these steps to confirm Amare has actually stopped your subscription.

1. Check your account status within 24 hours of cancellation.
   • Log into your Amare account and verify your subscription shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive".
2. Monitor your payment method for 7-14 days.
   • Review your credit card or bank account statement to ensure no new charges from Amare appear after your cancellation date.
   • Set a calendar reminder to check again on day 30 if your subscription was on a monthly cycle.
3. Keep your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot.
   • If unauthorized charges appear after cancellation, this proof is essential for disputing the charge with your bank.
4. If a charge does appear after cancellation, contact Amare immediately.
   • Reference your original cancellation request and ask for an immediate refund.
   • If Amare refuses to refund, file a dispute with your credit card company or bank within 60 days of the unauthorized charge.

This verification step is critical because system delays sometimes cause charges to process even after cancellation. Catching and disputing unauthorized charges within 60 days ensures you get your money back.

Pricing and subscription costs at a glance

Understanding Amare's pricing structure helps you identify exactly what you're cancelling and whether you might be eligible for a refund.

If you're paying annual fees for a Brand Partner membership, cancellation is more consequential because you lose the annual fee. Before you cancel a paid membership, contact Amare to understand your options: you might be able to pause the membership temporarily rather than cancel outright, or negotiate a partial refund if you've only used it for a few months.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancellation feels straightforward, but small errors can leave you vulnerable to continued billing or loss of refunds. Here are the pitfalls Tocancel sees most often.

Mistakes that leave you still paying

The most heartbreaking mistake is assuming cancellation happened when it didn't. Many customers call or email and believe their subscription is cancelled, only to find a charge on their statement weeks later. This happens because they didn't follow up with written confirmation or screenshot verification.

Avoid these critical errors:

• Not requesting written confirmation: If you cancel by phone, always ask the representative to email you a confirmation. A verbal promise is not proof if Amare later claims they have no record of your cancellation.
• Cancelling too close to your billing date: If you cancel within 24 hours of your next scheduled charge, that order may still process. Cancel at least 2-3 days before your billing date to be safe.
• Failing to verify the cancellation effective date: Confirm exactly when Amare will stop billing. Is it immediate, or does it take effect at the end of your current billing cycle? Knowing this prevents confusion when your next statement arrives.
• Not checking your account after cancellation: Log in within 24 hours to confirm your subscription status changed to "Cancelled". If it still shows "Active", contact Amare immediately; your cancellation didn't process.
• Ignoring unauthorized charges: If a charge appears after your cancellation date, dispute it with your bank within 60 days. Waiting longer weakens your case and you may lose the refund.

The common thread: take action and document everything. Tocancel's experience shows that customers who follow up with written proof almost never face continued billing.

Comparison: cancellation methods at a glance

Each cancellation method has trade-offs. This table helps you choose the one that matches your priorities.

If you have time and want the strongest documentation, email is your safest bet because the timestamped email creates legal proof. If you want speed and are available during business hours, phone gives you immediate confirmation. For fastest cancellation with minimal steps, use the online portal if Amare offers it.

Your rights and next steps

Cancelling your Amare subscription is your right, not a favour. Canadian consumer law is on your side if Amare tries to delay, ignore, or reverse your cancellation.

Protecting yourself if Amare refuses to cancel

If Amare ignores your cancellation request or continues charging you after you cancel, follow this escalation path:

1. Send a formal written demand to Amare.
   • Email [email protected] with the subject "FORMAL DEMAND FOR CANCELLATION AND REFUND".
   • Include your original cancellation request, confirmation numbers, and copies of unauthorized charges.
   • Give Amare 14 days to respond and process your refund.
2. If Amare does not respond within 14 days, dispute the charges with your credit card company or bank.
   • Provide your bank with your cancellation request, proof that you submitted it, and evidence of the unauthorized charge.
   • Most banks refund unauthorized charges within 30 days if you file a dispute within 60 days of the charge.
3. File a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority.
   • Ontario: Ontario Attorney General's Consumer Protection Office
   • British Columbia: BC Consumer Protection Office
   • Alberta: Alberta Fair Trading Act Compliance Office
   • Other provinces: Contact your provincial Ministry of Consumer Affairs
4. If the amount is under $35,000, file a small claims court action in your province.
   • Small claims court is designed for consumer disputes and does not require a lawyer.
   • You can recover the unauthorized charge plus court filing fees.

You are not powerless if Amare refuses to cancel. The consumer protection system exists precisely to protect you from companies that ignore cancellation requests.
