How to cancel Imusic and claim your 14-day refund in the UAE

What Imusic is and when you should cancel

Imusic is a music streaming platform that grants you access to millions of songs, curated playlists and the ability to download tracks for offline listening. The service operates through both one-time credit purchases and subscription packages, accessible directly or via the UAE App Store, making it a convenient choice for music enthusiasts across the Emirates.

You subscribe to Imusic because you want on-demand music, personalised playlists and the freedom to listen without an internet connection. However, if your music preferences shift, you discover you are not using the service regularly, or you encounter problems with your account, cancellation is a straightforward process once you understand the legal framework. At Yafee, we help you navigate subscription cancellations with precision and clarity, ensuring you recover your money within the permitted timeframe.

Main features of Imusic

Imusic lets you discover and stream millions of songs, build and share custom playlists and download content for offline use. Depending on your chosen subscription tier, you unlock benefits including ad-free listening, higher download limits and priority access to new releases. The platform integrates with your device's native app store, simplifying payment and account management.

When cancellation becomes the right choice

You should cancel Imusic if you have finished your trial period, no longer listen regularly, prefer a competing service or are dissatisfied with sound quality or the catalogue breadth. If you are within your first 14 days and have not fully used the service, UAE consumer protection law grants you strong legal grounds for a full refund. Yafee specialises in helping you claim this entitlement and recover your funds.

Your consumer rights under UAE law

UAE consumer protection legislation gives you explicit rights when you purchase digital services or subscriptions online.

The 14-day cooling-off period explained

Under UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 2012 on Consumer Protection (as amended), you have the legal right to cancel a distance contract, including digital subscriptions, within 14 calendar days from the date you receive the service or make your purchase, without providing a reason. This period is called the cooling-off period or withdrawal period.

The clock starts on the day Imusic activates your subscription or you complete your one-time purchase. You do not need to wait for a specific event or satisfy any condition except that you must submit your cancellation request within the 14-day window. Critically, this right exists even if you have used the service partially. Yafee emphasises that partial usage does not automatically forfeit your refund entitlement under UAE law, though the company may apply deductions for services genuinely consumed.

Your right to refund and timeline

If you cancel during the 14-day period, Imusic must process your refund within 14 calendar days of receiving your cancellation request. The refund must be credited to your original payment method, whether that is a credit card, debit card or App Store account. Any non-refundable costs must be disclosed upfront by the company; for Imusic, a primarily digital service, such costs are rare.

What happens after the 14-day window closes

Once the cooling-off period expires, your right to cancel for any reason ends. You can still cancel your subscription to prevent future recurring charges, but you forfeit your right to a refund unless the service fails to deliver, contains a material fault or Imusic violates its contractual obligations. The key principle is this: if you want your money back, you must act within 14 days of purchase.

Your legal position

You are protected by UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 2012. The law places the burden on the company to prove the cooling-off period has expired or that you have forfeited your right to refund through material use. If Imusic refuses your refund claim, you can escalate the complaint to the UAE Ministry of Economy (Consumer Rights Department) or file a case with the relevant local commerce and industry authority in your emirate. Yafee recommends keeping all correspondence and payment receipts as evidence.

How to cancel Imusic depending on where you purchased it

Your cancellation method depends on whether you bought Imusic directly from the company or through a third-party app platform such as Apple App Store or Google Play.

Cancelling purchases made directly via Imusic

If you purchased credits, a package or a subscription directly from Imusic, you communicate with the company directly to request cancellation.

1. Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Request" or "Subscription Cancellation".
   • Write a clear, concise message stating that you wish to cancel your subscription or purchase within the 14-day cooling-off period.
   • Include your full order number, the date you purchased the service and your registered email address associated with your Imusic account.
   • Optionally reference UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 2012 to reinforce your legal standing, though this is not required.
2. Send the email from the address linked to your Imusic account or the payment method you used.
   • This ensures the company can verify your identity and locate your account quickly.
   • Yafee advises requesting a read receipt or delivery confirmation when you send the email.
3. Await Imusic's response within 5 to 7 business days.
   • The company should acknowledge your cancellation request and provide a refund reference number or confirmation.
   • If you receive no reply within 7 business days, send a follow-up email or proceed to the telephone contact method.
4. Alternatively, call Imusic directly at +45 86 13 73 43.
   • This telephone number is available during business hours (typically 08:00 to 18:00 CET).
   • Have your order number, purchase date and registered email ready before calling.
   • Request written confirmation of your cancellation request via email immediately after the call.
5. You may also cancel by post, sending a letter to Imusic's registered address with your cancellation request and order details.
   • Include your full name, account email and order number in the letter.
   • Send via registered post to establish proof of delivery.
   • This method is slower than email or phone but creates a formal paper trail.

Email is the fastest and most documented method. Yafee recommends prioritising email to [email protected] to create a clear, timestamped record of your request.

Cancelling subscriptions purchased via apple app store

If you subscribed to Imusic through the Apple App Store on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, you must cancel through Apple's billing system, not directly with Imusic.

1. Open the Settings app on your Apple device.
   • On iPhone or iPad, tap "Settings" then "Your Name" (top of the screen).
   • On Mac, open System Preferences, then click "Apple ID".
2. Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
   • You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
3. Find Imusic in the list and tap it.
   • The screen will display your subscription start date, renewal date and price.
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription".
   • Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the cancellation.
   • Apple will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation; this is optional.
5. Confirm the cancellation. Your subscription will terminate at the end of the current billing cycle.
   • You will receive a confirmation email from Apple at the address linked to your Apple ID.
   • If you purchased within the last 14 days, you may be eligible for a refund; see the refund section below for next steps.

Yafee notes that cancelling through Apple's interface stops future charges immediately, but you must request a refund separately if you are within the 14-day window.

Cancelling subscriptions purchased via google play

If you subscribed to Imusic through Google Play on an Android device, you must cancel through Google's billing system.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
   • Select "Payments and subscriptions".
2. Tap "Subscriptions".
   • You will see all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
3. Find Imusic and tap it.
   • The screen displays your subscription details, next billing date and price.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription".
   • Google will present a series of prompts offering discounts or asking for feedback.
   • Continue through these prompts to complete the cancellation.
5. Confirm the cancellation. Your subscription will end at the close of the current billing period.
   • You will receive a confirmation email from Google Play at your registered email address.
   • If you are within 14 days of purchase, you can request a refund via Google Play's refund system or contact Imusic directly.

Cancelling through Google Play immediately stops future recurring charges. Nevertheless, a refund request must be submitted separately if you are within the cooling-off period.

How to request a refund and tracking the timeline

Cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund if you are outside the 14-day window. Here is how to claim your refund entitlement.

Refund eligibility within 14 days

You are entitled to a full refund if you submit your cancellation request within 14 calendar days of the purchase date or service activation, whichever is later. The refund does not depend on whether you used the service; UAE law grants you this right unconditionally during the cooling-off period.

How to submit a refund request

1. Send a refund request email to [email protected] with the subject "Refund Request - 14-Day Cooling-Off Period".
   • State clearly that you are invoking your right to refund under UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 2012.
   • Include your order number, purchase date, the amount paid (in AED) and your payment method.
   • If you purchased via Apple App Store or Google Play, mention this explicitly and provide your app store order confirmation.
2. Alternatively, contact Imusic by phone at +45 86 13 73 43 to request a refund verbally.
   • Request written confirmation of your refund request via email immediately after the call.
   • Note the date, time and name of the representative you spoke with.
3. If you purchased through Apple App Store, you may also request a refund directly through Apple.
   • On iPhone or iPad, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then select "Purchased" or "My Purchases".
   • Find the Imusic transaction and tap the three dots, then "Report a Problem".
   • Explain that you wish to cancel within the cooling-off period and request a refund.
   • Apple reviews such requests within 3 to 5 business days.
4. If you purchased through Google Play, request a refund via Google's system.
   • Open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile icon, then "Payments and subscriptions".
   • Select "Purchases".
   • Find the Imusic transaction and tap the three dots, then "Refund".
   • Explain your reason and submit the request within 48 hours of purchase for the fastest approval (though 14 days is your legal entitlement).

Refund processing timeline

Imusic must process your refund within 14 calendar days of receiving your cancellation and refund request. The company will credit the amount to your original payment method. If you paid by credit card or debit card, the refund typically appears within 3 to 5 business days after Imusic initiates it, depending on your bank. If you paid through an app store, the refund is credited to your app store account balance, which you can then withdraw to your linked bank account.

What to do if your refund is delayed or refused

If Imusic does not process your refund within 14 days or refuses your request outright, you have the right to escalate your complaint. Yafee recommends the following steps:

1. Send a formal demand letter to [email protected] with all copies of your previous correspondence, the date you expect your refund and a deadline of 7 days for the company to respond.
   • Use registered email or post to create an official record.
   • Clearly state that you are exercising your rights under UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 2012.
2. If Imusic still does not respond or refuses, file a complaint with the UAE Ministry of Economy (Consumer Rights Department).
   • Visit the ministry's website at www.moec.gov.ae or contact your local emirate's commerce and industry authority.
   • Provide copies of your purchase receipt, cancellation request, all correspondence with Imusic and proof of payment.
   • The ministry will investigate the complaint and can compel Imusic to refund your money or face fines and penalties.
3. As a final option, file a case with the relevant local court in your emirate.
   • Yafee advises seeking legal counsel to assist with this process.
   • The court can order Imusic to refund you plus compensation for breach of contract.

Pricing and subscription tiers

Understanding the cost structure of Imusic helps you determine whether a cancellation and refund is worthwhile.

If you purchased an annual subscription and cancel within 14 days, you are entitled to a full refund. After 14 days, Imusic may offer a pro-rata refund (refunding only the unused months), but this is at the company's discretion and not guaranteed under UAE law. Yafee advises acting quickly if you want the full amount returned.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation does not end immediately; understanding the post-cancellation process ensures you avoid future charges.

When your access ends

If you cancel your subscription, your access to Imusic typically ends at the close of the current billing cycle, not immediately. For example, if you cancel on the 10th and your next billing date is the 20th, you retain access until the 20th. After that date, your account reverts to the free tier (if available) or you lose access entirely, depending on Imusic's terms.

You will not be charged on the renewal date if you have successfully cancelled. Check your account settings within 24 hours of cancellation to confirm the subscription no longer shows as "active" or "renewing".

Protecting downloaded content

If you have downloaded tracks for offline listening, those files may be removed from your device when your subscription ends, as they are typically protected with digital rights management (DRM). Download any tracks you wish to keep permanently before your subscription terminates, or export them to your device's local storage if the app permits this.

Recovering your refund

Monitor your bank account or app store account balance for the refund within 14 days. If you paid by credit card, the refund appears as a credit toward your next statement. If you paid via Google Play or Apple App Store, the money is credited to your account balance, which you can withdraw to a linked bank account or use for future app purchases.

Preventing future charges

After you cancel, verify that Imusic is no longer listed under your active subscriptions on Apple, Google or your bank's app. Many users experience surprise charges because the subscription was not fully cancelled due to a technical glitch or miscommunication. Check your monthly credit card or bank statements for three months after cancellation to ensure no further Imusic charges appear.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Imusic

Cancellation is a straightforward process, but several errors can cost you your refund. Yafee has compiled the most common pitfalls so you can sidestep them.

Waiting too long to cancel

The 14-day cooling-off period is strict. It begins on the day you purchase or activate the service and ends at 23:59 on the 14th day. Do not assume you have longer than 14 days. If you cancel on day 15, you forfeit your refund entitlement entirely. Set a calendar reminder on day 1 of your purchase if you are uncertain whether you want to keep the service.

Cancelling through the wrong channel

If you purchased via Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through those platforms, not by emailing Imusic directly. Emailing Imusic in this scenario may result in a confusing response or a missed refund. Cross-check your purchase receipt to confirm which platform you used, then cancel there. Yafee strongly recommends confirming cancellation via email immediately after using the app store's interface.

Failing to document your request

Always request written confirmation of your cancellation and refund request. If you cancel via phone, email a follow-up message to the company asking them to confirm the conversation in writing. If Imusic later disputes that you cancelled, written evidence is essential for your case at the UAE Ministry of Economy.

Not saving your receipts and proof of payment

Keep all purchase receipts, bank statements showing the Imusic charge and emails from Imusic confirming your cancellation. These documents are mandatory if you need to file a complaint or pursue the refund through the ministry or courts.

Assuming a partial refund is acceptable

During the 14-day cooling-off period, you are entitled to a full refund under UAE law, even if you used the service. Do not accept a partial refund or a credit toward a future subscription unless you explicitly choose to do so. If Imusic offers you less than 100 percent, respond in writing that you are declining the partial refund and insisting on full reimbursement.
