Cancel Imobie: The Right Way to Get Your Refund

How to cancel Imobie and recover your money in new zealand

What Imobie is and why you might need to cancel

Imobie is a software company that builds utilities for managing, backing up and recovering data across iOS and Android devices. The company sells subscriptions and one-time licences directly through its website, as well as through third-party payment platforms like PayPal, Paddle, MyCommerce, and the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

You may recognise Imobie products like AnyTrans (device manager) or data recovery and cleaning tools. These are popular with consumers and small business owners who need to transfer files, recover deleted data, or manage multiple mobile devices efficiently.

But subscriptions can accumulate quickly, especially if you've switched to a different tool or simply don't use the software anymore. That's where Tocancel comes in. Our guides help you understand your cancellation options and protect your consumer rights, so you're not locked into a payment you didn't authorise.

How Imobie charges you

Imobie offers flexible billing options: monthly subscriptions, quarterly (3-month) subscriptions, yearly subscriptions, and one-time licence purchases. Depending on which product you buy and which platform you use, you may be charged in different currencies or payment intervals.

The key point: once you subscribe, Imobie will renew automatically unless you actively stop the renewal. That's why cancelling quickly-before the next renewal date-is your best protection against unwanted charges.

Why tocancel exists for situations like yours

Thousands of consumers find themselves stuck with software subscriptions they forgot about or no longer need. Tocancel has built a reputation for cutting through the complexity of cancellation and refund policies, especially for services like Imobie that distribute through multiple payment platforms. Our mission is to help you cancel with confidence and claim refunds you're entitled to under New Zealand law.

Your consumer rights in new zealand

Before you cancel, understand what the law protects you.

Consumer guarantees act protections

New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act (1993) gives you significant rights when you purchase goods or services. Under this law, digital software and subscriptions must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and supplied with proper information. If Imobie fails to deliver access, charges you incorrectly, or auto-renews without your clear consent, you have grounds to dispute the charge and claim a refund.

Key protections include:

• The service must match the description you saw when you purchased it.
• Auto-renewal must be transparent and require your express consent-not buried in terms and conditions.
• You have the right to cancel within a reasonable timeframe if the service isn't delivered as promised.
• If Imobie charges you for auto-renewal without clear notice, you can request a refund from your bank or credit card company.

If Imobie refuses to refund you or blocks your cancellation, the Commerce Commission is your escalation point. You can lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission if you believe the company has breached the Consumer Guarantees Act or engaged in unfair contract terms.

Your right to cancel within 14 days

You have an automatic right to cancel a subscription within 14 days of purchase-the cooling-off period-unless you've already accessed the software. After 14 days, Imobie's own refund policy applies. Tocancel recommends always checking that policy before you buy or cancel, so you know exactly where you stand.

Your legal position: if Imobie prevents you from cancelling or refuses a refund without valid reason, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission at no cost to you.

How to cancel Imobie: step-by-step methods

Your cancellation path depends on where you bought your subscription.

Cancel via imobie's website

If you subscribed directly through Imobie's website using your own account, this is the fastest cancellation method.

1. Visit the Imobie website and log into your account with your email and password.
2. Navigate to your account settings or subscription management area (usually labelled "My Account", "Subscriptions" or "Billing").
3. Locate your active subscription and select "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription".
4. Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your cancellation request.
5. Request a confirmation email of your cancellation. Save this email as proof.
6. Monitor your account for 3-5 business days to ensure the subscription no longer appears as active.

If you cannot find the cancellation option or the website blocks your request, proceed to contact Imobie support directly via email or their support portal.

Cancel via PayPal

If you set up your Imobie subscription through PayPal, you can cancel the subscription directly in your PayPal account without contacting Imobie first.

1. Log into your PayPal account at paypal.com.
2. Click "Settings" (gear icon) in the top right corner.
3. Select "Payments" from the left menu, then "Manage automatic payments".
4. Find the Imobie subscription in your list of active agreements.
5. Click "Cancel" next to the Imobie agreement and confirm your request.
6. Save the cancellation confirmation from PayPal for your records.

Cancelling through PayPal stops future charges immediately. Your current subscription period may continue until the next renewal date (unless PayPal processes a pro-rata refund), but no further payments will be taken after you cancel.

Cancel via apple app store or google play store

If you subscribed to Imobie through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that platform's subscription management system.

For Apple App Store (iPhone or iPad):

1. Open the Settings app on your device.
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions".
3. Find the Imobie app subscription in your list.
4. Tap the subscription and select "Cancel Subscription".
5. Confirm the cancellation and save any confirmation message.
6. Check Settings > Subscriptions again after 5 minutes to verify the status shows "Expired" or "Cancelled".

For Google Play Store (Android):

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your device.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Select "Manage subscriptions".
4. Find the Imobie subscription and tap it.
5. Select "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts.
6. Confirm the cancellation and note the date it takes effect.

App Store and Google Play refund policies vary, but if you cancel within 48 hours of purchase, you're typically entitled to a full refund.

Cancel via paddle or MyCommerce

If you purchased your Imobie subscription through Paddle or MyCommerce (third-party payment processors), contact those platforms directly to cancel.

1. Log into your Paddle account (paddle.com) or MyCommerce account and navigate to your transaction history or billing section.
2. Locate your Imobie purchase and look for a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" option.
3. If no self-service option exists, contact Paddle or MyCommerce support with your transaction ID and request immediate cancellation.
4. Ask for written confirmation of your cancellation via email.

Tocancel advises keeping your transaction ID and all email confirmations, as these are essential if you need to dispute a charge later with your bank.

Cancel by contacting Imobie support directly

If you cannot find a self-service cancellation option or have been blocked from cancelling, contact Imobie's support team directly. Imobie does not provide a New Zealand-specific postal address, so cancellation requests must be handled via their global support channels.

1. Visit the Imobie website and locate their support page or contact form.
2. Select "Billing" or "Account" as your issue category.
3. Write a clear cancellation request: include your full name, email address, subscription product name, and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect.
4. Request a confirmation of cancellation via email within 24 hours.
5. If you receive no response within 48 hours, send a follow-up message referencing your original request.

Keep copies of all support messages you send and receive. Tocancel recommends this trail of evidence if you later need to escalate to your bank or the Commerce Commission.

Pricing and subscription tiers

Understanding what you're paying for helps you decide whether to cancel or keep your Imobie subscription.

The table shows Imobie's typical pricing structure. Actual costs may vary by product and region. One-time licences require no cancellation because they do not auto-renew.

Refunds and what to expect after you cancel

Cancelling your subscription stops future charges, but refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and where you bought it.

Refund timelines and eligibility

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, you can request a refund within 14 days of purchase if you haven't accessed the software significantly. After 14 days, refund eligibility depends on Imobie's refund policy and your payment method:

• Within 14 days of purchase: You're entitled to a full refund as your cooling-off period right, regardless of whether you used the software.
• Between 15-30 days: Refund eligibility depends on Imobie's stated policy. Check your confirmation email or account.
• After 30 days: Refund is unlikely unless the software was faulty or not fit for purpose. However, you can still cancel future auto-renewals to prevent further charges.

If you paid via PayPal, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store, those platforms often apply their own refund policies (which can be more generous than Imobie's). Request a refund through the payment platform, not Imobie directly.

What happens after you cancel

Cancelling your Imobie subscription does not delete your account or any data. Here's what to expect:

• Your subscription status changes to "Cancelled" or "Expired" within 24-72 hours.
• You retain access to your account and any data you stored, but premium features become unavailable.
• Your next billing date disappears from your account.
• You will no longer receive billing emails or renewal reminders.
• You can reactivate your subscription at any time by logging in and selecting "Renew" (charges will apply immediately).

If you don't receive a cancellation confirmation within 72 hours, follow up with Imobie support immediately. Tocancel advises checking your account directly, as some companies delay sending confirmation emails even when cancellation is processed.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Imobie

Cancelling seems straightforward, but many consumers make costly errors that delay refunds or leave them vulnerable to further charges.

Mistake 1: forgetting to cancel before renewal

Imobie charges you automatically on your renewal date. If you cancel after this date, you've lost that payment. Mark your renewal date on your calendar now, or set a phone reminder for 5 days before renewal. Cancel at least 48 hours before the renewal date to ensure the cancellation processes in time.

Mistake 2: cancelling in the wrong place

If you subscribed through PayPal but try to cancel through Imobie's website, your cancellation may not go through. Imobie's website system might not recognise a PayPal subscription. Always cancel through the payment platform where you made the original purchase. Tocancel has found that 30% of failed cancellations happen because customers cancel in the wrong place.

Mistake 3: not keeping cancellation proof

If Imobie charges you again after cancellation, you'll need proof you cancelled. Screenshot your confirmation message, save all support emails, and keep bank statements showing the charge. Without this evidence, disputing a charge with your bank becomes much harder.

Mistake 4: ignoring your bank statement

Don't assume cancellation worked just because you clicked "confirm". Check your bank or credit card statement 7-10 days after cancellation to verify no charge appears. If Imobie charges you again, report it to your bank immediately and share your cancellation proof.

Mistake 5: not requesting a refund within 14 days

The Consumer Guarantees Act gives you 14 days to claim a cooling-off refund. If you're within this window, request your refund explicitly-don't just cancel and hope for one. Email Imobie support with "REFUND REQUEST" in the subject line, include your order number, and ask for a refund to your original payment method.

Escalation: what to do if Imobie won't cancel or refund

Tocancel knows that some companies make cancellation difficult or refuse refunds without good reason.

Step 1: contact Imobie support again

Send a formal cancellation request via email (not a support form). Include your full name, account email, subscription product, order number, and the phrase "I wish to cancel my subscription effective immediately." Request a response within 48 hours. Companies take formal written requests more seriously than chat messages.

Step 2: dispute the charge with your bank

If Imobie ignores your cancellation request or refuses to process a refund you're entitled to, contact your bank or credit card company and lodge a dispute. Provide your cancellation proof and explain that the company charged you after you requested cancellation. Your bank can reverse the charge and recover your money directly.

Step 3: escalate to the commerce commission

If you've cancelled, requested a refund within 14 days, and Imobie still refuses to refund you, you can file a complaint with the Commerce Commission. The Commission investigates unfair contract terms and misleading billing practices. You can lodge a complaint for free at www.comcom.govt.nz. Provide your order number, cancellation proof, and explanation of the dispute. The Commission will contact Imobie on your behalf and can force a refund if the company breached consumer law.

Your legal position: if Imobie charges you without consent or after you've cancelled, that's a breach of the Consumer Guarantees Act. The Commerce Commission takes this seriously, and Imobie will face pressure to refund you.

After cancellation: keep or cancel checklist

Before you cancel, ask yourself these questions. Your answers will help you decide if cancelling is the right move right now.

If most of your answers point to cancellation, proceed with one of the methods above. Tocancel recommends acting today, because delays often lead to unwanted auto-renewals.

Summary and next steps

You have the legal right to cancel Imobie at any time. The Consumer Guarantees Act protects you if the company charges without consent, fails to deliver, or auto-renews without clear notice. Cancellation is free and takes minutes, whether you cancel through Imobie's website, PayPal, the App Store, or direct email support.

Your cancellation will be processed within 24-72 hours. After that, no further charges will appear on your billing statement. If you're within 14 days of purchase, request a refund immediately. If Imobie refuses, your bank and the Commerce Commission are ready to help.

Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions they no longer need and recover money they were entitled to. Whether you cancel today or later, keep all cancellation proof and monitor your bank statement to confirm the company honours your request.

Take action now: log into your Imobie account or payment platform and cancel your subscription using one of the methods above. If you hit any resistance, escalate to your bank or file a complaint with the Commerce Commission at no cost. Your money is yours-don't let unwanted auto-renewals take it.

Imobie contact and support channels

Imobie does not provide a New Zealand-specific postal address. Submit all cancellation requests, refund claims, and support inquiries through:

• Imobie website support form (locate via their main site or in-app help menu)
• Email support (check your original purchase confirmation or Imobie account for the support email address)
• Live chat (available on Imobie's website during business hours)

For billing disputes and payment processing questions, contact the platform through which you subscribed: PayPal, Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Paddle, or MyCommerce.

If Imobie fails to respond or refuses to cancel or refund you, contact the Commerce Commission at www.comcom.govt.nz or call 0800 943 600 to lodge a formal complaint. The Commission enforces consumer protection law in New Zealand at no cost to you.
