How to cancel Lasso and protect your money in the UAE
What is Lasso and why customers cancel
Lasso is a portfolio of digital tools designed for marketers, content teams, and app users across multiple platforms. The service offers software-as-a-service (SaaS) products for research and collaboration, adblocking applications for iOS and Android devices, macOS utilities, website analytics plugins, and specialized workforce management solutions. Your subscription route depends on the Lasso product you use: you may subscribe directly via their website, through the Apple App Store, or via Google Play.
Subscribers cancel Lasso for legitimate business reasons. Your workflow may have evolved and Lasso no longer fits your team's needs. Budget constraints may force you to cut non-essential tools. You may have switched to a competing platform that serves you better. Or you may simply discover that you no longer use the features you initially paid for. At Yafee, we understand that cancellation should be straightforward and transparent. Yet many subscribers encounter hidden obstacles, unclear policies, unexpected final charges, or difficulty reaching support. This guide walks you through every cancellation method, your refund entitlements, and the UAE consumer protections that shield you if Lasso refuses your cancellation request.
Common Lasso products and their use cases
Lasso serves multiple industries and use cases. Content teams use Lasso for research collaboration and crew management workflows. App users rely on Lasso adblocking solutions to protect privacy on iPhone and Android. Website owners integrate Lasso analytics and browser plugins to track visitor behaviour and optimize conversion rates. Designers and marketers access desktop utilities on macOS to streamline repetitive tasks and improve productivity. Each Lasso product carries its own subscription terms, billing schedule, and cancellation procedure. Consequently, Yafee recommends confirming your exact Lasso product and the platform through which you subscribed before you initiate cancellation.
Why you should cancel now if you no longer use Lasso
Every month you delay cancellation costs you real money. Subscription services in the UAE do not automatically reduce rates or pause charges. Lasso will continue charging your payment method until you actively submit a cancellation request. The longer you wait, the more you lose. Yafee has documented how thousands of consumers waste hundreds of dirhams annually by delaying cancellation of services they no longer value or use.
Your consumer rights in the UAE
The UAE legal framework grants you explicit rights when you purchase digital services, including subscriptions to software platforms like Lasso.
What UAE consumer law says about subscription cancellation
The UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006) protects you when you purchase any service, including digital subscriptions and SaaS products. You have the right to receive clear, transparent information about the price, billing frequency, auto-renewal terms, and cancellation procedure before you subscribe. Service providers must honour your cancellation request submitted before the next billing date without penalty, hidden charges, or obstruction. If Lasso fails to cancel your subscription by your requested date, or charges you after you cancel, you retain the right to escalate to the Federal Authority for Consumer Protection (FACP).
Furthermore, the UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) oversees certain digital services and retains authority to intervene if a company breaches consumer terms or engages in unfair commercial practices. Yafee strongly recommends keeping copies of all cancellation emails, confirmation messages, and payment records. This evidence protects you if a dispute arises and you need to file a formal complaint with the FACP.
Your right to a refund under UAE law
UAE consumer law does not mandate automatic refunds for cancelled subscriptions unless you cancel within a cooling-off period (typically 14 days from purchase for distance sales) or the service was never delivered to you. However, individual Lasso products may include their own refund policies. For example, the macOS Lasso desktop app includes a 14-day money-back guarantee, whereas other products may offer no refund on cancelled subscriptions. The burden falls on you to check the specific refund policy for your product before you cancel.
If you believe Lasso has violated your consumer rights by continuing to charge you after cancellation or by failing to deliver promised services, file a complaint with the Federal Authority for Consumer Protection at consumerprotection.ae. Yafee recommends documenting every email, billing statement, app screenshot, and cancellation request as evidence to support your claim.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Lasso subscription without penalty before the next billing date. Lasso must honour your cancellation request and cease charging you. If they refuse or continue charging after cancellation, the Federal Authority for Consumer Protection has enforcement authority to compel refunds and impose penalties on the company. You do not need a reason to cancel, nor must Lasso accept your reason. Your cancellation request is valid when you submit it through a method documented by Lasso's official channels.
Cancellation methods for Lasso
Lasso accepts multiple cancellation routes depending on your subscription type and platform.
Email submission is the fastest and most transparent cancellation method available to you. This route creates a documented record that Lasso received and processed your request. Follow these steps:
- Draft a new email to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Request"
- Include the following information in the body:
- Your full name
- Your account email address (the address associated with your Lasso subscription)
- Subscription details (the specific Lasso product you subscribed to and the platform-website, App Store, or Google Play)
- Your billing cycle start date and next billing date (check your confirmation email or account dashboard for this information)
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Lasso subscription effective today" or "effective before [specific date]"
- Your preferred contact number for confirmation
- Send the email from the email address attached to your Lasso account
- Wait for a confirmation reply from [email protected] (typically within 2 to 3 business days)
- Retain the confirmation email and all related correspondence as proof of cancellation
Cancel through your online account settings
If you subscribed directly via Lasso's website, you may access cancellation controls within your account dashboard. Proceed as follows:
- Log in to your Lasso account using your email and password
- Navigate to the "Account Settings" or "Subscription" section (typically located in a menu labeled "Settings," "Billing," or "My Account")
- Locate the option to "Manage Subscription," "View Billing," or "Cancel Subscription"
- Review the cancellation terms and next billing date displayed on screen
- Select "Cancel Subscription" or "Disable Auto-Renewal" (if auto-renewal is enabled, you must disable it to stop future charges)
- Follow any confirmation prompts and save a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation message
- Verify that your payment method has been removed from the account (or check your email for a confirmation that auto-renewal has been disabled)
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through those platforms, not through Lasso's website. This is because the app store processes billing, not Lasso directly.
Cancel an app store or google play subscription
If you subscribed to a Lasso app through Apple's App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel the subscription through the app store platform itself.
For Apple App Store:
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find "Lasso" in the list of active subscriptions
- Tap "Lasso" and select "Cancel Subscription"
- Confirm the cancellation and save the confirmation screen as evidence
For Google Play:
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner
- Select "Manage My Subscriptions"
- Find "Lasso" in the list of active subscriptions
- Tap "Lasso" and select "Cancel Subscription"
- Confirm the cancellation request and screenshot the confirmation for your records
Cancel by postal mail
If you prefer to cancel in writing and have Lasso's corporate mailing address, you may submit a cancellation letter. Although email is faster, postal mail creates a verifiable record if you obtain proof of delivery. Send a letter to Lasso's registered office address including your name, account email, subscription details, and a clear cancellation request. Request a delivery confirmation receipt from the postal service and retain it with a copy of your letter.
Cancellation does not end when you submit your request; you must verify that Lasso has processed it and ceased charging you.
Confirm cancellation within 3 to 5 business days
After you submit your cancellation request by email, account settings, or postal mail, allow 2 to 3 business days for Lasso to process it. Then take these steps to confirm:
- Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for a cancellation confirmation message from Lasso
- Log in to your Lasso account and verify that the subscription is listed as "cancelled" or "inactive"
- If you cancelled an app store subscription, verify in the App Store or Google Play Store that the subscription is no longer listed under "Active Subscriptions"
- Check your payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account) to confirm that no charge appears on your next billing date
- If a charge appears, contact Lasso immediately and request a refund, citing your cancellation request and confirmation
Monitor your next billing cycle
Lasso's cancellation is not final until your next scheduled billing date passes without a charge. Monitor your payment method for 30 to 45 days after cancellation. If an unexpected charge appears, contact your bank or card issuer and report the transaction as unauthorized or a billing error. Simultaneously, email [email protected] with your cancellation confirmation and request an immediate refund with a timestamp.
Refund policy and how to recover money
Your entitlement to a refund depends on when you cancelled and which Lasso product you subscribed to.
Refunds within the cooling-off period
If you cancelled your Lasso subscription within 14 days of purchase, you are entitled to a full refund under the UAE Consumer Protection Law (distance sales cooling-off period). To claim this refund:
- Email [email protected] with the subject "Refund Request - Cooling-Off Period"
- Include your purchase date, cancellation date, the amount charged, and a statement that you are exercising your 14-day cooling-off right
- Request a full refund to your original payment method and specify your expected timeline (typically 10 to 14 business days)
- Retain copies of all correspondence and your bank statement showing the original charge
Refunds after the cooling-off period
Refunds after 14 days depend on Lasso's individual product policy and the circumstances of your cancellation. Some Lasso products (such as the macOS app) include a money-back guarantee; others do not. Check your original purchase receipt or Lasso's terms and conditions for the refund policy applicable to your product. If Lasso refuses a refund you believe you are entitled to, escalate to the Federal Authority for Consumer Protection.
How to escalate to the federal authority for consumer protection
If Lasso refuses your refund request or continues charging you after cancellation, file a formal complaint with the Federal Authority for Consumer Protection:
- Visit consumerprotection.ae or call the FACP hotline at 600 50 4444
- Prepare documentation: your original purchase receipt, cancellation request (email or screenshot), confirmation of cancellation, payment records, and a summary of the dispute
- Submit your complaint online or by visiting an FACP office in your emirate
- The FACP will investigate and contact Lasso to enforce your consumer rights
- If the FACP determines Lasso has breached consumer law, they will compel a refund and may impose penalties on the company

All SaaS products renew automatically unless you actively disable auto-renewal or submit a cancellation request before the renewal date. If you subscribe through an app store, the store collects payment on behalf of Lasso. Consequently, verify your app store subscription settings even if you have cancelled via Lasso's website, as the two systems operate independently.
Common mistakes when cancelling Lasso
Many subscribers encounter preventable errors during cancellation. Yafee has identified the most frequent obstacles and how to avoid them.
Mistake 1: confusing auto-renewal disable with actual cancellation
Disabling auto-renewal does not cancel your active subscription; it only prevents the next charge. If you disable auto-renewal today, your subscription remains active until the current billing period ends. You will receive access to Lasso until that end date, but no charge will appear after it. However, if you want immediate access termination and a pro-rata refund, you must submit a full cancellation request, not merely disable auto-renewal.
Mistake 2: cancelling via the wrong platform
If you subscribed to a Lasso app through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you cannot cancel via Lasso's website account settings. You must cancel through the app store itself. Conversely, if you subscribed directly through Lasso's website, cancelling via the app store will have no effect. Check your original confirmation email to identify which platform processed your subscription, then cancel through that same platform.
Mistake 3: not obtaining written confirmation
Verbal cancellation requests (phone calls, live chat) are difficult to prove. Always cancel via email or documented account settings and retain screenshots or confirmation messages. If Lasso later claims they did not receive your cancellation request, your email or account setting change is evidence that you acted. Screenshots of your "subscription cancelled" status or a confirmation email from [email protected] protect you in disputes.
Mistake 4: cancelling immediately before the billing date
If you submit your cancellation request one day before your billing date, Lasso may process the charge before processing your cancellation. Consequently, submit your cancellation request at least 5 to 7 days before your next billing date to ensure it is processed first. Check your confirmation email or account dashboard for your exact next billing date and plan accordingly.
Mistake 5: not following up on app store cancellations
App store cancellations sometimes fail silently (the app store interface may not clearly confirm the action). After cancelling via Apple or Google, log out and log back in to the app store, then navigate to your subscriptions again. Verify that the Lasso subscription no longer appears in your "Active Subscriptions" list. If it is still listed, repeat the cancellation process.
