How to cancel your Arccos subscription and protect your rights in the UAE
What Arccos is and why cancellation matters
Arccos is a cloud-based golf analytics platform that combines wearable sensors attached to your club grips with a mobile app to track shot data, distance accuracy, and performance trends in real time. The service stores and analyzes your gameplay data on secure servers, delivering insights to improve your game through detailed performance metrics and shot history.
Your subscription to Arccos automatically renews each billing period unless you actively cancel. If you no longer use the platform, have switched to a competitor, or find the monthly cost no longer justifies the value, cancellation is a legal right you can exercise at any time. This guide explains your consumer protections under UAE law, walks you through four cancellation methods, and shows you how to recover your data before the service ends. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions like Arccos while preserving their rights and data.
Common reasons to cancel Arccos
You might cancel if the sensors have failed, the app crashes or delivers inaccurate data, you prefer a different analytics platform, the subscription no longer fits your budget, or you simply don't use the service anymore. Whatever your reason, UAE consumer law protects you from being locked into unfavorable terms or losing access to your own data without warning.
What happens to your data and sensors after cancellation
The physical sensors remain your property after you cancel, but your access to cloud-based analytics, historical shot data, and performance insights may be restricted depending on your specific plan terms. Many users lose access to years of recorded performance data immediately upon cancellation. For this reason, Yafee strongly advises you to export and download your complete data history before submitting your cancellation request. Take screenshots of your statistics, download CSV files if available, and save any reports to your personal device or cloud storage outside the Arccos ecosystem.
Your consumer rights under UAE law
UAE consumer protection legislation grants you specific rights when cancelling digital services and distance purchases, including online subscriptions like Arccos.
Cooling-off period for online and distance purchases
Under the UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006, amended by Federal Law No. 4 of 2026), you have the right to cancel most distance purchases-including online subscriptions-within 14 calendar days from the date you first received or accessed the service. This cooling-off period applies even if Arccos's terms claim "no refunds" or "all sales final." If Arccos failed to provide clear information about your cancellation right in both Arabic and English before you purchased, your cooling-off window may be extended or your claim for a refund strengthened.
Your legal position: If you purchased your Arccos subscription online and wish to cancel within 14 days of first access, you have a statutory right to a full refund under UAE law, regardless of Arccos's stated refund policy. Arccos cannot lawfully deny this right simply because the subscription has been "used" or accessed.
Service defects and non-performance
If the Arccos platform fails to deliver the core functionality advertised-for example, the app consistently crashes, the sensors malfunction, or the accuracy of shot data is materially different from what is promised-you are entitled to demand repair, replacement, or a refund. The burden of proof rests with Arccos to demonstrate that the service worked as described when you purchased it.
Document any service failures with screenshots, error messages, app crash logs, and correspondence with Arccos support. If Arccos refuses to acknowledge the defect or offer a remedy, file a complaint with the General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP), the UAE's primary consumer enforcement authority. Yafee recommends keeping records of all communication for at least 12 months in case you need to escalate.
Unfair contract terms
UAE law prohibits subscription companies from including unfair or unreasonable terms in their contracts. A blanket "no refund" clause that contradicts your cooling-off right, or terms that lock you into auto-renewal without a clear, easy cancellation mechanism, may be unenforceable. If Arccos has buried its cancellation instructions or made the process deliberately difficult, that may constitute an unfair practice under UAE consumer law.
How to cancel Arccos: four proven methods
You can cancel your Arccos subscription through four distinct channels, each with its own advantages and documentation trail.
Method 1: cancel online via your Arccos account dashboard
This is the fastest and most direct method; Yafee recommends it because you receive instant confirmation and create an automatic digital record of your cancellation request.
- Visit arccosgolf.com and sign in to your account using your email and password.
- If you cannot remember your password, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it.
- Ensure you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled if Arccos requires it.
- Navigate to your Profile or Account Settings (location varies by app version).
- On mobile: tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select "My Account" or "Settings."
- On desktop: look for a gear icon or "Profile" link in the top navigation.
- Select Manage Membership or Subscription.
- This section displays your active subscription plan, renewal date, and billing amount.
- Click Cancel Subscription or Cancel Membership.
- Arccos may display a retention offer or prompt you to confirm your reason for leaving.
- You are not obligated to respond to retention offers; proceed with cancellation.
- Confirm the cancellation in the pop-up dialog.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation message for your records.
- Arccos will send a confirmation email to your registered email address within a few minutes.
- Download a copy of the confirmation email and forward it to your personal email or cloud storage as backup.
- This email serves as proof of cancellation if any disputes arise later.
Method 2: cancel by email
If the online dashboard is unavailable or you prefer written correspondence, email cancellation creates a documented trail and is legally binding in the UAE.
- Compose a new email to Arccos support (use the contact email listed on their website or in your account settings).
- Subject line: "Request to Cancel Arccos Subscription - [Your Account Email]"
- Include the following details in the body:
- Your full name as it appears on the account.
- Your registered email address.
- Your account user ID (if available).
- The date you purchased or first accessed the subscription.
- Your desired cancellation date (you can request immediate cancellation or a specific future date).
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Arccos subscription effective today."
- Add a reference to UAE consumer law if cancellation is within 14 days:
- "I am cancelling within 14 days of purchase as permitted under UAE Consumer Protection Law. Please confirm my cancellation and process any applicable refund."
- Send the email using a method that confirms delivery (read receipt or registered email).
- Save a copy of your sent email for your records.
- Arccos should respond with a cancellation confirmation within 5 to 10 business days.
- If you do not receive a response, follow up with a second email or escalate to the GACP.
Method 3: cancel by phone
Direct phone contact allows you to speak with a representative and clarify any questions about refunds or data access before finalizing your cancellation.
- Locate Arccos's official phone number on their website or in your account settings.
- Ensure you are using an official number, not a third-party support line.
- Call and request to speak with a customer service representative or account manager.
- Have your account details (email, user ID) and billing information ready.
- Clearly state your intention: "I want to cancel my Arccos subscription effective immediately."
- Do not be persuaded by retention offers or discounts unless you genuinely wish to stay.
- Ask the representative to provide a cancellation reference number or confirmation code.
- Write down the date, time, and name of the person who processes your cancellation.
- Request that Arccos send a cancellation confirmation email to your registered address.
- This creates a paper trail for your records and provides legal protection.
- Follow up with an email after the call confirming the conversation: "Per our phone call on [date], I requested cancellation of my Arccos subscription. Reference number: [number]. Please confirm via reply to this email."
- This protects you if there is any dispute about whether the cancellation was actually processed.
Method 4: cancel by postal mail
Registered postal mail is the most formal method and creates an indisputable legal record; use this approach if you believe Arccos may resist your cancellation or if you have a complaint about the service.
- Prepare a formal written cancellation letter on plain paper or letterhead.
- Include the date of the letter, your full name, registered email, account user ID, and the date you purchased the subscription.
- Write: "I hereby request cancellation of my Arccos subscription, effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation in writing and process any applicable refund under UAE Consumer Protection Law within 14 days."
- Reference your legal rights if you are within the 14-day cooling-off period or claiming a service defect.
- "I cancel within 14 days of purchase and request a full refund under Federal Law No. 24 of 2006."
- Or: "The service has not performed as advertised [describe the defect], and I request cancellation and remedy under UAE consumer law."
- Sign and print the letter, then send it via registered or tracked postal mail to Arccos's official address.
- Obtain proof of delivery from the postal service.
- Keep a copy of the letter and postal receipt for your records.
- Arccos must respond within 14 days of receipt.
- If they do not acknowledge your cancellation or refund request, contact the GACP.
Arccos pricing and billing details
Understanding Arccos's pricing structure helps you calculate any refund due and determine when your cancellation is cost-effective.
| Plan type |
Billing frequency |
Typical cost (USD) |
Renewal date |
Cancellation timing |
| Monthly subscription |
Monthly auto-renewal |
$9.99 to $14.99 |

Yafee advises checking your credit card or bank statement for the exact amount you are charged, as regional pricing may vary. If you were charged in a currency other than AED, your refund should reflect the exchange rate in effect on the date of cancellation, not the original purchase date.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
UAE consumer law entitles you to a refund within specific timeframes, provided your cancellation qualifies under the law.
Eligible refund scenarios
You are entitled to a refund if you cancel within 14 days of first accessing the service, unless you have already consumed the service in full (e.g., used multiple monthly billing periods). If Arccos delivered a defective or non-functional service, you are entitled to a refund regardless of how long you have held the subscription. If Arccos failed to disclose the cooling-off period or your cancellation rights clearly and in Arabic, your refund claim is strengthened.
Refund processing and timeline
Arccos should process your refund within 14 calendar days of confirming your cancellation request. The refund is typically credited back to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account). If you paid by credit card, the refund appears on your next statement or as a credit to your account. Bank transfers may take 3 to 5 additional business days to arrive after Arccos initiates the refund.
If Arccos does not refund you within 14 days, or if they refuse to refund you when they are legally required to do so, file a formal complaint with the GACP. Yafee recommends keeping records of all cancellation confirmation emails, refund requests, and correspondence with Arccos for at least 12 months.
Partial refunds and proration
If you cancel mid-cycle (for example, on the 15th day of a 30-day billing period), Arccos may offer a prorated refund for the unused portion of that month. Verify the prorated amount before accepting the cancellation offer. Under UAE law, if you are exercising your 14-day cooling-off right, you are entitled to a full refund, not a prorated amount.
Cancellation does not end instantly; understanding the transition period helps you avoid service surprises and protect your data.
Access and data retention after cancellation
After you submit your cancellation request, you typically retain access to the Arccos app and cloud platform until your billing cycle ends. For example, if you cancel on the 15th of the month and your billing date is the 30th, your access continues until the 30th. Once your billing period expires, Arccos deactivates your account and you lose access to cloud analytics, historical data, and performance insights. The physical sensors become inert without the cloud connection.
To preserve your data, download your shot history, performance reports, and any statistics before your final billing date. Yafee strongly recommends exporting this data in multiple formats (PDF, CSV) and saving it to your personal device or cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud) outside Arccos's system.
Auto-renewal and billing after cancellation
Once you cancel, Arccos should no longer charge your payment method on future billing dates. Verify your cancellation has taken effect by checking your account status in the dashboard and confirming your next billing date is no longer listed. Monitor your credit card or bank account for 2 to 3 billing cycles after cancellation to ensure no unauthorized charges occur. If Arccos charges you after you have cancelled, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately to dispute the charge and demand a refund.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation is a straightforward process, but a few missteps can delay your exit or cost you money; stay alert and you will avoid them all.
Mistake 1: cancelling within the app rather than via the account dashboard
Some users delete the Arccos app from their phone and assume they have cancelled the subscription. Deleting the app only removes it from your device; it does not cancel your account or stop billing. You must formally cancel through the online dashboard, email, phone, or postal mail. Always follow one of the four methods outlined above.
Mistake 2: not documenting your cancellation date
Without proof of when you cancelled, you cannot demonstrate whether you were within the 14-day cooling-off period or verify the reason Arccos charged you after cancellation. Screenshot every confirmation screen, save all confirmation emails, and note the date and time you submitted your cancellation request. This documentation is essential if you later need to file a complaint with the GACP.
Mistake 3: ignoring retention offers and auto-renewals
Arccos may offer a discount, free trial extension, or discounted renewal rate to persuade you to stay. Do not accept these offers unless you genuinely want to continue your subscription. If you accept a retention offer, you have reset your subscription term and will be charged again at the end of the new period. Stay firm in your cancellation request if you have decided to leave.
Mistake 4: cancelling just after a renewal charge
If your subscription just renewed and you are charged the full monthly or annual fee, cancelling immediately does not necessarily recover that charge unless you are within the 14-day cooling-off period. Check the date of your last charge; if it was more than 14 days ago, your right to an automatic refund under the cooling-off period has expired. You can still cancel to prevent future charges, but you will likely not recover the most recent charge.
Mistake 4: failing to export your data before the final billing date
Once your access expires, you cannot retrieve your historical shot data, performance trends, or recorded statistics. Arccos does not automatically provide this data after cancellation. Export and download everything you value before your final day of access expires.
Understanding how Arccos compares to its competitors can help you decide whether to switch platforms or take a break from analytics altogether.

If you are leaving Arccos to switch to a competitor, research the competitor's data import capabilities. Some platforms allow you to upload your Arccos data directly, while others require manual entry or CSV import. Yafee recommends comparing cancellation policies and data portability before committing to a new platform.
If Arccos refuses to cancel or issue a refund
Most cancellation requests are processed smoothly, but occasionally a company resists or ignores your request; know your escalation path before it becomes necessary.
Step 1: document all communication
Save every email, screenshot, phone call note, and piece of correspondence between you and Arccos. Record the date, time, name of any representative you speak to, and the substance of the conversation. If Arccos uses live chat support, copy and save the entire chat transcript.
Step 2: send a formal demand letter
If Arccos ignores your cancellation request or refuses to refund you, send a registered postal letter to their address (obtainable from their website or by contacting their support team). In the letter, clearly state: your account details, the date you requested cancellation, the reason for your cancellation (cooling-off right, service defect, etc.), the refund amount you expect, and a deadline for Arccos to respond (typically 14 days). Reference the specific UAE law you are relying on, such as Federal Law No. 24 of 2006.
Step 3: file a complaint with the general authority for consumer protection (GACP)
If Arccos still refuses to respond or comply within 14 days, file a formal complaint with the GACP. The GACP is the UAE's primary consumer enforcement authority and investigates violations of consumer protection law, including unfair subscription practices, refusal to honor cooling-off rights, and deceptive contract terms. You can file a complaint online at the GACP website or visit their office in person. Yafee recommends submitting copies of all documentation: emails, cancellation confirmations, billing statements, and correspondence with Arccos.
Step 4: dispute the charge with your bank or credit card issuer
If Arccos continues to charge you after you have cancelled, contact your bank or credit card company and initiate a chargeback or dispute. Provide proof of your cancellation request and explain that Arccos has unlawfully continued billing you in violation of your cancellation right. Most banks will investigate and often reverse unauthorized charges within 30 to 60 days.

Arccos support contact
Visit arccosgolf.com and navigate to their "Contact Us" or "Support" page to find the current email address, phone number, and mailing address. Arccos may also have a dedicated customer support portal accessible from your account dashboard.
General authority for consumer protection (GACP)
The GACP is the UAE's primary enforcement body for consumer rights and digital service complaints. File a formal complaint online at consumerprotection.ae or visit their office in Abu Dhabi. Include copies of all communication with Arccos, proof of payment, and a description of your complaint (unlawful refusal to cancel, failure to honor the 14-day cooling-off right, service defects, etc.).
UAE central bank (for payment disputes)
If you initiated a chargeback through your bank, you can escalate further to the UAE Central Bank's Consumer Protection Department if your bank does not resolve the dispute satisfactorily. The Central Bank oversees licensed banks and enforces payment system regulations.
Summary and next steps
Cancelling your Arccos subscription is a legal right protected by UAE consumer law, and you can exercise it through four straightforward methods: online via the dashboard (fastest), by email (documented), by phone (direct), or by registered postal mail (most formal). Before you cancel, download and save all your personal data, because Arccos will restrict access after your billing cycle ends.
You are entitled to a full refund within 14 days of first accessing the service, regardless of Arccos's stated refund policy. If the service is defective or Arccos failed to disclose your cancellation rights clearly, you have grounds to demand a refund even after the 14-day window. If Arccos refuses to cancel your subscription or process your refund, escalate to the General Authority for Consumer Protection or dispute the charge with your bank.
