Cancel Vitable: The Right Way

How to cancel your Vitable subscription and reclaim your money in new zealand

What Vitable is and how it works in new zealand

Vitable is a personalised vitamin subscription service that creates custom nutrient sachets tailored to your individual health profile. You complete an online health assessment, and Vitable manufactures a bespoke supplement bundle designed specifically for you, delivered monthly on a recurring billing cycle.

The service operates by combining your quiz responses with nutritional science to build a personalised supplement stack. Each month, Vitable manufactures and ships your custom pack on a fixed renewal date. Because orders are made-to-order rather than stock-based, pricing in New Zealand is estimated from Australian listings, typically ranging from NZ$50 to NZ$80 per month for a complete personalised subscription. You can cancel anytime, and Tocancel is here to guide you through the process with clarity and confidence.

Why kiwis cancel Vitable

Common reasons for cancellation include cost concerns, changes to your health or dietary needs, dissatisfaction with product quality, or simply deciding that personalised supplements don't fit your budget. Whatever your reason, you have legal protections in New Zealand, and cancelling is straightforward once you know the right steps.

Your legal position as a consumer

New Zealand law gives you significant protections when buying health products online. These rights exist whether Vitable's terms mention them or not, and no subscription agreement can strip them away. Understanding your legal standing is the first step to cancelling with confidence.

Your consumer rights under new zealand law

The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 protect you when you purchase from Vitable, and these laws are enforced by the Commerce Commission. Your rights are not optional extras; they are legal guarantees.

Consumer guarantees act protections

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, every product you buy must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and match its description. If your Vitable supplements arrive faulty, damaged, contaminated, or don't match what you ordered, you are legally entitled to repair, replacement, or a full refund. Vitable cannot hide behind a "no refunds for change of mind" policy if the product itself is defective or incorrect.

This is your strongest legal lever. If your supplements are substandard, contaminated, or incorrect, you do not need Vitable's permission to claim a remedy. You can escalate to the Commerce Commission if Vitable refuses a reasonable claim. In practice, this means you can ask for your money back if the product quality falls short of what a reasonable consumer would expect.

Distance selling and cooling-off rights

Personalised health products fall into a grey area for standard cooling-off rights in New Zealand. There is no automatic 14-day money-back guarantee for "change of mind" on bespoke items manufactured specifically for you. However, if Vitable's website or marketing material suggested you could try the service risk-free, or if you were misled about the contents or quality, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank under Consumer Guarantees Act principles.

Therefore, if you feel you were sold the service under misleading claims, you can contact your bank and ask for a chargeback. Document any misleading statements from Vitable's website or emails to support your case.

How to cancel your Vitable subscription

Tocancel recommends you follow these methods in order of speed and confirmation. The fastest and most reliable way to cancel is through your Vitable account.

Cancel through your Vitable account (fastest method)

Logging into your account and cancelling directly gives you immediate confirmation and a clear audit trail. This method takes less than five minutes and is the most secure way to end your subscription.

1. Open the Vitable website (vitable.co.nz or vitable.com.au if you signed up via the Australian site) and log into your account using your email address and password.
   • If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot password" and reset it via the email link.
2. Navigate to your account dashboard or "Manage Subscriptions" section.
   • On the web version, this is usually found under "Account" or "My Subscriptions" in the top menu.
   • On the app, swipe to the menu and look for "Subscription" or "Manage Membership".
3. Select the personalised bundle or vitamin pack you want to stop.
   • If you have multiple subscriptions, ensure you select the correct one.
4. Look for a "Cancel subscription" or "Pause subscription" button and tap or click it.
   • Review any pause option; if you want to cancel completely rather than pause, proceed to confirm cancellation.
   • Do not select "Pause" unless you intend to restart the subscription later.
5. Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
   • Vitable may ask why you are cancelling; provide a brief reason if you wish, but this is optional.
   • You may see an offer to pause instead; decline if you are certain you want to cancel.
6. Take a screenshot of the confirmation message, including your name, order ID, cancellation date, and the effective date your subscription ends.
   • Save this screenshot to your device or email it to yourself for your records.

Pro tip: Cancel before your next renewal date to avoid being charged for the following month. Check your account settings or your last invoice to confirm the exact renewal date.

Cancel through your app store (if you subscribed via iOS or android)

If you signed up for Vitable using the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android), you must cancel the subscription within that app store account, not inside the Vitable app itself. App store subscriptions are managed separately from Vitable's own system.

1. On iPhone: Open Settings, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions", find Vitable, and tap "Cancel Subscription".
   • If you see "Edit Subscription" instead of "Cancel", tap that first, then look for the cancel option.
   • Confirm the cancellation date and take a screenshot.
2. On Android: Open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions", select "Subscriptions", find Vitable, and tap "Cancel Subscription".
   • Confirm the cancellation and take a screenshot for your records.
3. Verify cancellation by checking your app store account settings within 24 hours to confirm the subscription no longer appears as active.

Cancelling through your app store is just as effective as cancelling through Vitable's website, but you must do it in the correct place. This means Vitable will receive notice of the cancellation from Apple or Google and will stop billing you.

Cancel by email (if the website method fails)

If you cannot access your Vitable account or the cancellation button is not working, you can request cancellation by email. This method is slower but creates a written record of your request.

1. Send an email to Vitable's customer support address (typically [email protected] or [email protected], depending on where you signed up).
   • Check your welcome email or the Vitable website's "Contact Us" page to confirm the correct support email address.
2. In the subject line, write: "Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Full Name]".
   • Be specific and clear in the subject to ensure your email is routed to the right team.
3. In the email body, include:
   • Your full name as it appears on your account
   • Your account email address
   • Your order or subscription ID (found on your invoice or in your account)
   • The date you want the cancellation to take effect (ideally before your next renewal date)
   • A simple statement: "Please cancel my Vitable subscription effective immediately" or on your chosen date
4. Send the email and keep a copy in your sent folder.
   • Do not delete this email; you may need it as proof if a dispute arises.
5. Expect a response within 2 to 3 business days confirming cancellation.

Email cancellation is more formal and creates a paper trail, which is useful if Vitable later claims they did not receive your request. However, this method is slower than logging in and cancelling directly, so use it only if the account method is unavailable.

What happens after you cancel

Cancelling your Vitable subscription is the start of the process, not the end. You need to verify that Vitable has stopped billing and check your bank account to confirm no charges appear after your cancellation date.

Verify your cancellation is complete

Within 24 to 48 hours of cancelling, log back into your Vitable account and confirm that your subscription no longer shows as "Active" or "Renewal pending". It should display as "Cancelled" or no longer appear in your subscriptions list. If your account still shows an active subscription, contact Vitable support immediately.

Monitor your bank account

Check your bank statement and credit card transactions in the days following your cancellation to ensure Vitable does not charge you again. If you see a charge after your cancellation date, this is a breach of your cancellation request, and you have grounds to dispute it with your bank. Contact your bank's dispute team and reference your cancellation confirmation screenshot as proof.

Request a refund if you were charged after cancelling

If Vitable charged you after your cancellation date, you have the right to a refund. First, contact Vitable support with your cancellation confirmation and the unwanted charge screenshot. If Vitable refuses to refund you, contact your bank and dispute the charge as an unauthorised transaction. Tocancel strongly recommends keeping all cancellation confirmations and screenshots until you see a refund appear in your account.

Pricing breakdown and what you are paying

Understanding what Vitable charges helps you calculate the true cost of cancellation and what you might be owed if you dispute.

Prices are estimates based on Australian pricing and may vary. Vitable typically charges on a fixed date each month, so if you cancel mid-cycle, you will not receive a pro-rata refund for unused days. This is standard practice for subscription services, but if you feel you were overcharged, you can dispute it with your bank.

Common mistakes when cancelling Vitable

Cancelling a health subscription can feel daunting, especially when you are unsure of the right steps. Many people make avoidable errors that delay their cancellation or result in unwanted charges. Here are the pitfalls to avoid.

Mistake 1: pausing instead of cancelling

Vitable offers a "Pause" option that temporarily stops deliveries but keeps your subscription active. Many people accidentally select "Pause" thinking they are cancelling, and they are then charged when the pause period ends. If you want to cancel permanently, ensure you select "Cancel subscription", not "Pause subscription".

When you pause, Vitable reserves the right to restart your deliveries after 30, 60, or 90 days (depending on the pause length you select). This means you may be charged without expecting it. Always confirm that your subscription status shows "Cancelled", not "Paused".

Mistake 2: not cancelling before the next billing date

Vitable charges on a fixed renewal date each month. If you cancel the day after being charged, you have just paid for a month you will not use. Therefore, aim to cancel at least three to five days before your next renewal date to avoid being charged.

If you are charged after you intended to cancel, contact Vitable immediately with your cancellation confirmation. Many companies will honour a refund if you can prove you cancelled in time, even if the system processed a late charge.

Mistake 3: cancelling only through email without confirming receipt

Email cancellations are valid, but Vitable support can take 2 to 3 days to process them. If you email a cancellation request without following up, you risk missing your renewal date and being charged. Always cancel through your account if possible, and use email only as a backup method.

If you do cancel by email, send a follow-up email 48 hours later if you have not received a confirmation. Reference your original email and ask for proof that the cancellation was processed.

Mistake 4: not keeping proof of cancellation

Screenshots are your strongest evidence if Vitable later claims they did not receive your cancellation request or if a dispute arises with your bank. Without proof, you have no way to prove you cancelled and are entitled to a refund. Therefore, screenshot every cancellation confirmation immediately, including the date, time, and your subscription ID.

Refunds and chargebacks

Vitable does not offer refunds for cancelled subscriptions once a month has been billed, unless the product is defective or you were misled about its contents or quality. However, you have legal rights to dispute charges if Vitable breaches the Consumer Guarantees Act.

When you can request a refund

You can request a refund or dispute a charge in these situations:

• The supplements you received were damaged, contaminated, or faulty
• The supplements did not match your personalised order (e.g., wrong vitamins or dosages)
• Vitable charged you after you cancelled, or you were billed twice in one month
• Vitable made misleading claims about the product's benefits or contents
• You were not able to cancel due to a website or app error

If any of these apply, you are within your rights to request a refund or dispute the charge with your bank. Tocancel recommends contacting Vitable first with evidence (screenshots, emails, photos of defective products) and giving them 14 days to respond. If they refuse or do not reply, escalate to your bank's dispute team.

How to dispute a charge with your bank

If Vitable refuses to refund you or you believe the charge was unauthorised, you can dispute it with your bank. Most banks in New Zealand allow you to dispute charges for up to 90 days after the transaction.

1. Contact your bank's customer service or dispute team (usually found on your bank's website or on the back of your debit or credit card).
   • Explain that you cancelled your Vitable subscription and were charged after the cancellation date, or that the product was faulty.
2. Provide evidence:
   • Your cancellation confirmation screenshot
   • The transaction statement showing the charge
   • Any emails from Vitable confirming the cancellation
   • Photos of defective products (if applicable)
   • Copies of your cancellation request email (if applicable)
3. Your bank will investigate and either refund you or ask Vitable for evidence that the charge was valid.
   • This process typically takes 7 to 14 business days.
4. If your bank rules in your favour, the refund will appear in your account within 3 to 5 business days.

In practice, banks favour consumers when there is clear proof of cancellation, so having screenshots is critical. Tocancel strongly advises keeping all evidence until the refund has been processed and appears in your account.

If Vitable refuses to cancel or disputes your claim

Most cancellations go smoothly, but occasionally Vitable may claim they did not receive your request or may refuse to refund you for a disputed charge. You have legal recourse.

Escalate to the commerce commission

The Commerce Commission is New Zealand's consumer protection authority. If Vitable refuses to honour your cancellation or breaches the Consumer Guarantees Act (for example, by sending you faulty supplements or continuing to bill you after cancellation), you can lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission.

The Commerce Commission does not handle individual disputes directly, but it investigates systemic breaches and can take enforcement action against companies that break consumer law. To lodge a complaint, visit www.comcom.govt.nz or call 0800 943 600. Provide your cancellation confirmation, screenshots, and a summary of what Vitable did wrong.

Raise a formal dispute with Vitable

Before escalating to the Commerce Commission, send Vitable a formal letter (by email) stating your cancellation request and the specific problem. Use language like: "I am formally requesting that you cancel my subscription effective [date] and refund [amount] in accordance with your terms of service and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. If you do not respond within 14 days, I will lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission and dispute the charge with my bank."

Many companies comply once they see a formal tone and a reference to the Commerce Commission. Keep a copy of this letter for your records.
