Frequently asked questions
Cancel Efax: The Right Way to Protect Your Rights
How to cancel eFax in the UAE and reclaim your subscription rights
What is eFax and when cancellation becomes necessary
eFax is a cloud-based fax service that enables you to send and receive faxes through email, a web portal, or mobile applications without requiring a physical fax machine. The platform operates on a subscription model and delivers features including a dedicated fax number, inbound and outbound page allowances, and seamless access from smartphones and tablets.
Throughout the UAE, professionals and businesses rely on eFax to digitise fax workflows, receive legally signed documents, and transmit faxes from devices when traditional equipment is unavailable. However, if your faxing requirements have shifted or you have identified a superior alternative, cancelling your eFax subscription involves a clear process-provided you understand the correct procedural steps and your legal protections. Yafee specialises in helping consumers navigate subscription cancellations with confidence, ensuring you avoid unexpected charges after termination.
Common reasons to discontinue your eFax subscription
You may choose to cancel because fax functionality no longer aligns with your workflow, you prefer a competing service, you aim to reduce monthly outgoings, or you have transitioned to an alternative communication channel. Whatever your motivation, understanding your consumer rights and the mechanics of cancellation protects your financial interests. Yafee provides transparent guidance on every step of the process and clarifies the legal framework that underpins your cancellation rights in the UAE.
Why acting quickly prevents unwanted charges
Subscription services often renew automatically on your billing date. Delaying your cancellation exposes you to renewal charges that may prove difficult to recover without formal complaint. By following the verified cancellation methods outlined in this guide, you ensure your account terminates before the next billing cycle and receive confirmation documentation that protects you in disputes.
Your consumer rights under UAE law when cancelling subscriptions
The UAE consumer protection framework establishes enforceable safeguards that shield you when terminating digital subscriptions and online services.
UAE consumer protection law and your legal position
Under UAE Federal Law No. 24 of 2006 (the Consumer Protection Law), you retain the right to cancel subscription services if the supplier has failed to disclose material terms, pricing structures, or cancellation procedures transparently at the point of purchase. This framework is enforced by the General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP), which investigates complaints and compels service providers to remedy unfair billing practices.
Your legal position: If eFax has charged your payment method after you submitted a cancellation request, or if the company debited your account during a free trial without your explicit written consent, you can file a formal complaint with the GACP. The burden rests on eFax to prove you authorised those charges. Yafee recommends retaining all email confirmations, payment receipts, and cancellation request screenshots-these documents form the evidentiary foundation of your complaint.
Rights granted through app store platforms
If you subscribed to eFax through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, both platforms grant you independent refund rights that frequently supersede eFax's stated policies. The Apple App Store permits refund requests within 14 days of purchase for unused or accidentally charged subscriptions. Google Play Store offers similar protections within a 48-hour window for most transactions. These rights exist regardless of eFax's cancellation terms, meaning you retain recourse even if eFax disputes your claim.
Escalation: what to do if eFax refuses to cancel
Should eFax decline your cancellation request or continue charging your card after you have terminated your account, file a formal complaint with the General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP). Contact the GACP through their official website (www.gacp.gov.ae) or customer service centre to report unfair billing or service suspension denial. Provide screenshots of your cancellation request, email confirmations, and unauthorised charges. The GACP investigates within a defined timeframe and may compel eFax to refund disputed amounts and cease further debits.
Methods to cancel eFax: which route suits your situation
eFax provides multiple cancellation channels, each offering distinct advantages depending on your subscription type and preferred pace of resolution.
Cancellation methods and their characteristics
| Cancellation method | Processing time | Best suited for | Documentation received |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online account portal (eFax website) | Immediate | Monthly subscriptions; fastest confirmation | Email confirmation with cancellation reference number |
| Apple App Store subscription settings | Immediate | iOS app-based subscriptions | App Store receipt; eFax confirmation email |
| Google Play Store subscription settings | Immediate | Android app-based subscriptions | Play Store receipt; eFax confirmation email |
| Telephone support | 1-2 business days | Annual plans; multiple fax numbers | Support ticket number; request email confirmation |
| Email support | 2-5 business days | Low-urgency cancellations with detailed instructions | Support ticket confirmation and cancellation email |
| Live chat | Immediate to 24 hours | Urgent cancellations requiring real-time clarification | Chat transcript; confirmation email sent after session |
Step-by-step cancellation instructions by platform
Follow the procedure that corresponds to your subscription method to ensure immediate confirmation and avoid post-cancellation charges.
Cancel your eFax account via the online portal
The online portal method remains the fastest and most secure route, generating an immediate cancellation confirmation with a reference number for your records.

- Once logged in, locate the Account Settings or Account Management section
- This typically appears in the top navigation menu or under a "Profile" dropdown
- Some versions display it under "My Account" or "Preferences"
- Select "Cancel My Account" or "Cancel Subscription"

- eFax may ask for your reason for cancellation; provide a response or skip if optional
- Select the final "Confirm Cancellation" button
- Receive and save your cancellation confirmation

- An email confirmation arrives within minutes to your registered email address
- Download or screenshot this email and store it securely
Cancel eFax through the apple app store
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, you must cancel through App Store settings rather than the eFax portal to preserve your App Store refund eligibility.
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad
- Select the account icon (your profile picture) at the bottom right
- Tap "Subscriptions"
- Locate eFax in your active subscriptions list
- Select the eFax subscription entry

- Yafee advises retaining the App Store receipt as supporting evidence
Cancel eFax through the google play store
Android users who subscribed via Google Play Store must terminate their subscription through Play Store settings to maintain refund eligibility.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" and then "Subscriptions"
- Locate and select the eFax subscription
- Tap "Cancel subscription"
- Google Play presents information about your subscription end date and any refund eligibility
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation

- The subscription status changes to "Cancelled"
- You receive a confirmation email from Google Play
- Request a refund if eligible
- Google Play permits refund requests within 48 hours of purchase for most subscriptions
- Submit your refund request through your Play Store account settings under the transaction history
Cancel eFax by telephone
Phone cancellation suits subscribers with annual plans or multiple fax numbers who require direct clarification before terminating.
- Locate eFax customer support contact details
- Visit the eFax website and navigate to the Contact or Support section
- Note the telephone number for your region and the hours of availability
- Call eFax customer support during business hours
- Have your account email address and any associated fax numbers ready
- Inform the representative that you wish to cancel your subscription
- Verify your account details with the support agent
- Provide your registered email, full name, and billing information as requested
- Request confirmation of your cancellation request
- Ask the representative for a support ticket number or reference code
- Confirm the cancellation effective date
- Request written email confirmation
- Explicitly ask the representative to send a confirmation email to your account email address
- Confirm the email address is correct before ending the call
- Retain all documentation
- Save the support ticket number and the subsequent confirmation email
- Screenshot both documents for your records
Cancel eFax by email
Email cancellation provides a documented trail of your request, though processing takes longer than portal or telephone methods.
- Compose a formal cancellation email to eFax support
- Address the email to the support address listed on the eFax website (typically [email protected] or a regional variant)
- Use a clear subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Request" or "Account Termination"
- Include all necessary account information in the email body
- Your registered email address
- Your full name
- Your associated fax number(s)
- Your subscription type (monthly or annual)
- A concise statement requesting immediate cancellation
- Send the email and retain confirmation
- Send the email from the account email address registered with eFax (this prevents disputes about authorization)
- Save the sent email message and the delivery receipt
- Monitor your inbox for confirmation
- eFax support typically responds within 2-5 business days
- The confirmation email includes a cancellation reference number and effective date
- Follow up if confirmation does not arrive
- If no response arrives within 5 business days, send a follow-up email referencing your original message
- Yafee recommends documenting all follow-up attempts as evidence for potential GACP complaints
Understanding refunds and billing after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on your subscription type, cancellation timing, and the platform through which you subscribed.
Refund eligibility and billing practices
eFax typically operates a non-refund policy for monthly subscriptions after the initial billing period, meaning if you have already been charged for the current month, you do not receive a credit. However, if you cancel before the end of your billing month, your access continues until that date at no additional charge. For annual plans, refund eligibility depends on eFax's terms at the time of purchase; many annual subscribers receive a prorated refund if they cancel before 30 days have elapsed.
App Store and Google Play Store subscriptions follow different rules. The Apple App Store grants refunds for unused subscriptions within 14 days of purchase, irrespective of eFax's stated policy. Google Play Store permits refund requests within 48 hours of purchase. If you meet these timeframes, initiate a refund request through your respective app store account rather than contacting eFax directly.
Confirming your final billing date
After you submit your cancellation request, verify that no charges appear on your card after your subscription end date. Monitor your credit card or bank account for the next two billing cycles. If an unauthorised charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately to dispute the transaction, and file a complaint with the GACP providing your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Reclaiming your fax number and data
Upon cancellation, you lose access to your eFax fax number; eFax recycles this number within 30-60 days. If you require call forwarding or message retrieval from this number, export and save all voicemail or fax messages before your cancellation takes effect. Log into your account and download any stored documents or communication logs through the eFax portal before your access terminates.
Common mistakes that delay cancellation or create billing disputes
Many subscribers inadvertently prolong their cancellation or weaken their legal position through preventable oversights. Yafee has identified the most frequent errors and how to avoid them.
Relying on verbal cancellation without written confirmation
If you cancel by phone, the support representative may confirm verbally, but this creates no documented proof if eFax continues to bill you after cancellation. Always request written email confirmation immediately after a telephone cancellation. Retain both the support ticket number and the confirmation email; these documents prove your cancellation request if you later dispute charges.
Cancelling through the wrong channel
Attempting to cancel an app-store subscription through the eFax website does not terminate your subscription if eFax does not have direct access to your app-store billing relationship. You must cancel through the exact platform you used to subscribe. Verify the original payment method on your receipt (App Store, Google Play, or direct credit card), then cancel using that same channel.
Failing to capture cancellation confirmation before account deletion
Once your account closes, you cannot retrieve cancellation emails or reference numbers from within eFax. Screenshot or download your cancellation confirmation immediately after the portal displays it. Store this confirmation in a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage, along with your original subscription receipt and any refund requests.
Ignoring charges after your stated cancellation date
Many subscribers assume cancellation is complete after submitting a request, but they fail to monitor their bank account for the next renewal cycle. Set a phone reminder for three days after your stated cancellation date to review your recent transactions. If a charge appears after your confirmed end date, you have strong evidence for a GACP complaint and bank chargeback.
What to expect after your cancellation takes effect
Cancellation finality occurs on your billing cycle end date; you retain access until that date expires. Here is what happens during and after the transition.
Immediate access loss and alternative contact methods
Once your billing period ends, your eFax account becomes inactive within 24 hours. You lose the ability to send faxes through eFax, receive inbound faxes to your eFax number, and access the web portal. Inbound faxes sent to your former eFax number may bounce or be returned to the sender, depending on eFax's system configuration. If you have provided your eFax number to clients or business partners, notify them of your alternate contact method (telephone, email, or a new fax service) before your subscription terminates.
Confirmation of final billing and account closure
Within 7 days of your cancellation effective date, eFax sends a final billing statement showing no further charges. If no statement arrives, your cancellation successfully prevented any renewal charge. Retain this final statement for your records. Yafee advises checking your bank account one more time 10 days after your end date to confirm no residual charges appear.
Retrieving archived faxes or forwarding messages
If you require access to faxes received during your subscription period, retrieve and download them before your account closes. After your cancellation date, eFax deletes archived faxes and prevents further retrieval. Log into your account in the days immediately preceding your cancellation and export all message history or fax records if your workflow requires historical reference.
Pricing and plan comparison for informed decision-making
Understanding eFax pricing structures helps you confirm whether cancellation aligns with your financial situation or if renegotiating your plan represents a better option.
EFax plan pricing and monthly costs
| Plan type | Monthly cost | Included pages | Overage charges | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic monthly | AED 49 | 150 pages (send + receive) | AED 0.50 per additional page | Light users and individuals |
| Professional monthly | AED 99 | 500 pages (send + receive) | AED 0.30 per additional page | Small businesses with moderate fax volume |
| Business monthly | AED 199 | 1500 pages (send + receive) | AED 0.20 per additional page | Established businesses with high fax volume |
| Annual plan (discount) | AED 490 annually | 150 pages per month (same as Basic) | AED 0.50 per additional page | Users committed to 12 months of service |
| Free trial | AED 0 (for 30 days) | Full access to selected features | Automatic conversion to Basic plan unless cancelled | New users evaluating the service |
Alternatives to cancellation: downgrading your plan
Before cancelling entirely, consider downgrading to the Basic monthly plan (AED 49) if you still use fax functionality occasionally. Downgrading preserves your fax number, maintains access during unexpected fax needs, and costs less than many alternative services. Contact eFax support to request a plan downgrade, which typically takes effect on your next billing date at no additional charge.
Summary: your cancellation action checklist
Follow this verified checklist to ensure your cancellation is complete, documented, and protected against unwanted charges.
Pre-cancellation preparation
- Confirm your subscription platform (eFax website, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store) by checking your original receipt
- Export and download any archived faxes, documents, or message history from your eFax account
- Notify clients and business partners of your alternate contact method before your account closes
- Gather your account email address, fax number(s), and billing information
Cancellation execution
- Use the online portal method if available for immediate confirmation
- If using Apple App Store or Google Play Store, cancel through those platforms rather than the eFax portal
- Request written email confirmation if cancelling by phone or email
- Obtain and save your cancellation reference number, support ticket number, and confirmation email
- Screenshot all confirmation messages and store them in a secure folder
Post-cancellation verification
- Set a calendar reminder for three days after your stated cancellation date to review your bank account
- Verify no charges appear after your billing cycle end date
- Retain your final billing statement for 12 months as proof of cancellation
- If unauthorised charges appear, contact your bank and file a GACP complaint immediately
- Document all communications, bank statements, and eFax confirmations as evidence in any dispute
Legal recourse and GACP complaint procedures
If eFax refuses to cancel or continues billing you after cancellation, you retain enforceable legal remedies under UAE consumer protection law and your bank's chargeback procedures.
Filing a complaint with the general authority for consumer protection
The GACP investigates violations of the UAE Consumer Protection Law and compels companies to remedy unfair practices. To file a complaint, gather the following evidence:
- Your cancellation request confirmation (email or reference number)
- Screenshots of any charges appearing after your cancellation date
- Bank or credit card statements showing the disputed transactions
- All email communications with eFax support
- Your original subscription receipt and account details
Submit your complaint through the GACP online portal at www.gacp.gov.ae or contact their customer service centre by telephone. The GACP typically investigates within 30-45 days and provides a written determination. If the GACP finds eFax in violation, the company must cease further charges and may be ordered to refund disputed amounts.
Initiating a chargeback through your financial institution
If eFax continues to charge your credit card or bank account after cancellation, contact your bank or credit card issuer to dispute the transaction. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and the contested charge statements. Your bank initiates a chargeback investigation and may reverse the charges within 5-10 business days while formally investigating your dispute. Most UAE banks return disputed amounts within this timeframe, pending final investigation completion.
