Cancel Cheerfun: The Right Way to Protect Your Money

How to cancel Cheerfun in new zealand and stop unwanted charges

What is Cheerfun and when cancellation makes sense

Cheerfun is a fitness and dance-focused digital subscription service operated from Hong Kong that delivers workout videos and choreography content through its mobile app and web platform. When you subscribe, charges appear in NZD on your bank statement or app store account, regardless of where you live.

You might be ready to cancel for straightforward reasons: the workout library no longer matches your fitness goals, you have found a competing service that suits you better, or you simply want to pause your subscription temporarily. Whatever your situation, Tocancel helps you understand your rights and walk through the cancellation process step by step.

How Cheerfun operates in new zealand

Cheerfun reaches New Zealand consumers through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, where pricing is shown in NZD. The company does not maintain a physical office or dedicated customer service team in New Zealand; all enquiries route to their Hong Kong headquarters.

This structure matters for your cancellation because your subscription method determines where you must initiate the cancellation request. If you subscribed via an app store, you cancel there. If you signed up directly on their website, you contact their support team. Tocancel recommends identifying which platform holds your subscription before you start the cancellation process.

Cheerfun pricing and subscription tiers

Cheerfun offers several subscription plans with varying levels of access to their fitness and dance content library. Monthly plans give you flexibility to cancel at short notice, while annual plans typically offer better value if you commit for a full year.

Prices fluctuate due to currency exchange rates and promotional campaigns. Always check your most recent invoice or subscription confirmation email to confirm the exact amount you are paying per billing cycle.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Cheerfun

New Zealand law gives you specific legal protections when you cancel digital subscriptions, and those protections apply to Cheerfun regardless of where the company is based.

The consumer guarantees act and your right to cancel

The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 is the primary law protecting you when you buy digital services like Cheerfun. Under this law, you have the right to cancel a subscription within 14 days of your initial purchase if you have not substantially used the service. This period is called the statutory cooling-off period and applies to all consumer subscriptions sold in New Zealand.

Your legal position is clear: if Cheerfun fails to deliver the promised content, charges you without permission, or makes misleading claims about features, you can request a refund or cancellation at any time, even after the 14-day window closes. The Fair Trading Act 1986 also protects you against misleading advertising and unfair contract terms.

Keep detailed records of all communications with Cheerfun, your payment receipts, and screenshots showing what you were promised versus what you actually received. These records are essential if the company refuses your cancellation request.

When Cheerfun must accept your cancellation

Cheerfun cannot legally refuse your cancellation if you fall into any of these categories:

• You cancel within 14 days of your first charge and have not substantially used the service.
• The service is not delivered as described in the advertising or product listing.
• The service is not fit for purpose or does not meet the reasonable expectations of an average consumer.
• You discover misleading claims about features, access levels, or content availability.
• You did not authorise the charge and can prove it was made without your consent.
• The company fails to provide the service you paid for.

If Cheerfun refuses to cancel your subscription despite meeting one of these conditions, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission, which enforces consumer protection law in New Zealand.

How to cancel Cheerfun step by step

Your cancellation method depends on where you originally signed up for the service, so verify your subscription platform before you start.

Cancelling through the apple app store

If you subscribed to Cheerfun via your iPhone, iPad, or Apple devices, you cancel the subscription through your Apple account, not through the Cheerfun app itself.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
   • Scroll down and tap "iTunes and App Store".
   • Tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen.
   • Tap "View Apple ID" and enter your password or use Face ID if prompted.
2. Select "Subscriptions" from the account menu.
   • You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
3. Find Cheerfun in the subscriptions list and tap it.
   • If you see "Manage Subscription" instead of an active status, the subscription is already inactive.
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
   • The app will ask you to confirm that you want to cancel and may offer you a discount to stay.
   • Confirm your cancellation by tapping the final "Cancel" button.
5. Look for a confirmation message stating your subscription will end on a specific date.
   • Take a screenshot of this confirmation and save it to your records.
   • Apple will also email you a confirmation to the address associated with your Apple ID.

Your cancellation is complete once you see the confirmation screen. The charges will stop after your current billing period ends.

Cancelling through google play store

If you signed up to Cheerfun on an Android phone or tablet through Google Play, you cancel the subscription via your Google Play account.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Tap the profile icon in the top right corner of the screen.
2. Select "Payments and subscriptions" from the menu.
   • Then tap "Subscriptions".
3. Locate Cheerfun in your active subscriptions list.
   • If the subscription is inactive, it will appear under a separate section at the bottom of the screen.
4. Tap on Cheerfun to open the subscription details page.
   • Review the cancellation date and billing cycle information.
5. Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
   • Google Play will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may show you retention offers.
   • Select "Cancel subscription" again to finalize the request.
6. Wait for a confirmation message showing that your subscription has been cancelled.
   • Save a screenshot of this confirmation as proof of cancellation.
   • Google will send a confirmation email to your Google account email address.

Once you confirm the cancellation, Google Play will stop charging you after your current billing period expires.

Cancelling via the Cheerfun website

If you subscribed directly through the Cheerfun website rather than an app store, you must cancel through your account dashboard on their site.

1. Visit the Cheerfun website and log in with your email address and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it.
2. Navigate to your account settings or profile section.
   • This is usually found in a menu icon or dropdown at the top right of the page.
   • Look for options labeled "My Account", "Settings", or "Profile".
3. Find the "Subscription" or "Billing" section within your account settings.
   • This page will show your current plan, next billing date, and payment method.
4. Look for a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" button.
   • Click or tap this button to start the cancellation process.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation.
   • The website may ask why you are cancelling or offer you a discount to stay subscribed.
   • Complete all required steps and confirm your cancellation choice.
6. Save a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page as proof.
   • Cheerfun should send you a confirmation email within minutes of the cancellation.

If you cannot find a cancellation option in your account settings, contact Cheerfun support directly using the method outlined in the next section.

Contacting Cheerfun support directly

If you cannot cancel through the methods above or need additional assistance, contact Cheerfun support. Because Cheerfun operates from Hong Kong, response times may be longer than you expect.

Look for a "Contact Us" link on the Cheerfun website, which typically provides email, live chat, or support ticket options. Send a clear email requesting cancellation of your subscription, including:

• Your full name and the email address linked to your Cheerfun account.
• Your subscription plan type (Basic or Premium) and billing cycle (monthly or annual).
• Your original sign-up date and the app store or website where you subscribed.
• A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Cheerfun subscription effective today."
• Your phone number (preferably a New Zealand number) in case they need to contact you.

Keep a copy of every email you send and receive. If Cheerfun does not respond within 7 business days, follow up with another email marked "Follow-up" in the subject line.

Refunds and what to expect after cancellation

Understanding what happens to your money after you cancel is essential so you can take action if needed.

When you are entitled to a refund

You have the right to a refund in these situations:

• You cancel within 14 days of purchase and have not substantially used the service.
• Cheerfun failed to deliver the service you paid for.
• The service does not match the description provided at the time of purchase.
• The charges continue after you have requested cancellation.
• You paid without authorization (for example, someone else used your payment details without permission).

Tocancel advises that a refund for the 14-day cooling-off period should be paid back to your original payment method within 30 days of your cancellation request. If you cancel after the 14-day period but the service was not delivered as promised, Cheerfun must still refund the portion of your subscription that covers the period during which the service was unavailable or defective.

What to do if Cheerfun continues charging you

Some consumers discover that charges continue even after they have cancelled. This is a serious breach of consumer law in New Zealand.

If Cheerfun keeps charging you after you cancelled, take these steps:

1. Check your cancellation confirmation emails and screenshots to verify the cancellation date.
   • If you have no confirmation, log back into your account and verify the subscription status shows as "Inactive" or "Cancelled".
2. Review your bank statement or app store statement for any charges that occurred after the cancellation date.
   • Screenshot or export these statements as evidence.
3. Contact Cheerfun support immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation.
   • Clearly state: "I cancelled my subscription on [date], but charges of [amount] appeared on [date]. Please refund this amount immediately and confirm that my subscription is now inactive."
4. If Cheerfun does not refund you within 7 days, contact your bank or payment provider.
   • Ask them to dispute the charges and initiate a chargeback if necessary.
   • Your bank should be able to recover the unauthorised charges from Cheerfun's merchant account.
5. Lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission if Cheerfun refuses to refund you.
   • Include all evidence: cancellation confirmations, screenshots of charges, emails to Cheerfun, and your bank's response.

Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers recover unwanted charges through this process, and persistence works.

Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation

Cancelling a digital subscription sounds straightforward, but small missteps can leave you stuck paying for a service you no longer want. Understanding these common pitfalls helps you avoid them.

Assuming the Cheerfun app has a cancellation button

Many consumers open the Cheerfun app, look for a "Cancel Subscription" option, and give up when they cannot find one. This is one of the most common mistakes. Cheerfun, like most app-based subscriptions, does not allow you to cancel directly inside the app because the company does not want to make cancellation easy.

You must cancel through the app store where you subscribed (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) or through the Cheerfun website. The app itself is designed for accessing content, not managing your billing.

Missing the 14-day cooling-off period

New Zealand law gives you 14 days from the date of your first charge to cancel and claim a refund if you have not substantially used the service. Many consumers do not realize this window exists and assume they are locked into their subscription for a month.

If you have subscribed within the last 14 days and are unhappy with the content or do not think the service is worth the price, cancel immediately. You will recover your money, and Tocancel recommends doing this before the cooling-off period expires.

Ignoring confirmation emails

When you cancel a subscription, you receive a confirmation email stating the exact date your cancellation takes effect. Some consumers delete these emails without reading them or assume the cancellation is immediate.

In reality, most subscriptions continue charging you until the end of the current billing cycle, even after you have cancelled. If you cancelled mid-cycle, you will be charged until that cycle ends. Save your cancellation confirmation email and note the final charge date. This date proves you acted promptly if a dispute later arises.

Using the wrong contact email

If you contact Cheerfun support, use the email address linked to your subscription account. If you email from a different address, support staff may be unable to locate your account and cannot process your cancellation request.

Before you email Cheerfun, log into your account and confirm which email address is registered. Then send your cancellation request from that exact address.

Not requesting a cancellation in writing

If you have spoken to a Cheerfun support agent via live chat or phone and they verbally agreed to cancel your subscription, that agreement carries no legal weight if the company later disputes it. Always request cancellation in writing by email so you have proof of your request.

A written cancellation request creates a permanent record that protects you if the company continues to charge you or claims you never requested cancellation.

What happens after your Cheerfun cancellation

Cancelling your subscription is the first step, but understanding what comes next ensures you are not surprised by final charges or loss of access.

Your access to Cheerfun content

Once you cancel, you typically lose access to Cheerfun content immediately or at the end of your current billing cycle, depending on how the company applies the cancellation. Some services allow you to finish watching your current content until the end of the paid period; others lock you out right away.

Log into your Cheerfun account after cancellation to verify your status. If your access is still active and you can view content, you can continue using the service until your paid period expires. If your account is locked, the cancellation took effect immediately.

Protecting your account after cancellation

After you have cancelled, change your Cheerfun password to prevent anyone else from reactivating the subscription. Use a strong, unique password that is different from the one you use on other websites.

Also update your payment method on file or remove it entirely. This prevents Cheerfun from attempting to charge you if a technical error occurs or if someone gains unauthorized access to your account.

Checking your final bill

After your cancellation takes effect, review your next bank statement or app store statement to confirm that no charges for Cheerfun appear. The final charge should match the amount shown in your cancellation confirmation email and should cover only the period up to your cancellation date.

If you see a charge for a full month or year after your cancellation date, contact Tocancel support and your bank immediately to dispute it.

Comparing Cheerfun with alternative fitness subscription services

If you are cancelling Cheerfun because the service does not suit your needs, comparing it with competing fitness platforms helps you choose a better alternative before you commit to another subscription.

Before you cancel Cheerfun, trial one of these alternatives for a week if they offer a free trial. This ensures you switch to a service you actually prefer rather than simply leaving a subscription behind.

Escalating your complaint if Cheerfun refuses to cancel

Tocancel's experience shows that most cancellation requests are processed without resistance, but some consumers face deliberate delays or outright refusals from Cheerfun. If this happens to you, you have legal remedies.

The commerce commission and your right to complain

The Commerce Commission is the government agency responsible for enforcing consumer protection laws in New Zealand, including the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act. If Cheerfun refuses your cancellation request or continues charging you after you have cancelled, you can lodge a formal complaint.

To file a complaint, visit the Commerce Commission website (comcom.govt.nz) and submit a consumer complaint form. Include:

• Your full name and contact details.
• The date you originally subscribed to Cheerfun.
• All evidence of your cancellation request (emails, screenshots, app store cancellation confirmations).
• Evidence that Cheerfun has refused or failed to process your cancellation.
• A summary of the charges you have incurred after requesting cancellation.
• Copies of all communications between you and Cheerfun.

The Commerce Commission will investigate your complaint at no cost and can take enforcement action against Cheerfun if the company has breached consumer law.

Disputing charges with your bank

If Cheerfun charges your account after you have cancelled, your bank has the authority to reverse those charges under New Zealand's payment systems rules.

Contact your bank and request a dispute or chargeback for the unwanted charges. Provide your bank with:

• Your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot showing the cancellation date.
• Bank statements showing the disputed charges.
• A clear explanation that you cancelled the subscription before the charges appeared.

Your bank will typically investigate within 7 to 14 days and should reverse the charges in your favour.

Key takeaways and cancellation checklist

Cancelling Cheerfun is a straightforward process when you follow the right steps and understand your consumer rights. Use this checklist to ensure you have completed every step and protected your money.

Your legal position summary

Under New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986, you have the absolute right to cancel any digital subscription. Cheerfun cannot force you to stay subscribed or charge you after you have cancelled. If the company refuses or continues to charge you, contact the Commerce Commission.
