How to cancel your Facer subscription and reclaim your money
What is Facer and why you might want to cancel
Facer is a smartwatch customisation platform that lets you purchase custom watch faces and subscribe to premium tiers across Android (Google Play), iOS (Apple App Store), and the Facer website. The service offers three subscription levels: a free tier with limited features and advertising, Facer Plus with ad removal and expanded watchbox storage, and Facer Premium, which unlocks the full premium face library and enhanced syncing capabilities.
You may cancel Facer for legitimate reasons. Many Australian users report billing surprises-amounts that exceed advertised prices or continue charging after a free trial ends. Others find that previously purchased watch faces become inaccessible once a subscription lapses, or they simply decide the service no longer justifies the recurring cost. Whatever your reason, cancelling a recurring subscription is your right as an Australian consumer. Yafee recognises that taking control of your digital subscriptions is essential to managing your budget effectively.
Common reasons users cancel Facer
The most frequently cited complaints centre on unexpected billing. Users report being charged amounts that differ from what appears in the app store, particularly when promotional first-year pricing expires without sufficient notice. Additionally, many find that cancelling a trial subscription involves unnecessary friction, or discover that paid faces become locked once their subscription ends, reducing the apparent value of their original purchases.
Your rights before you cancel
Under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010), you hold specific protections when purchasing digital subscriptions. If Facer fails to deliver core features as advertised, charges you an amount materially different from what the app store displays, or continues billing after you attempted to cancel, you may be entitled to a refund or credit. Yafee advises documenting all charges and cancellation attempts before escalating your claim to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) if the company refuses to respond.
Facer subscription plans and pricing breakdown
Understanding what you pay for and when your renewal date arrives is essential before cancelling, as it affects your refund eligibility and determines which cancellation method you must follow.

How pricing varies by platform
Facer displays prices differently across platforms. Google Play shows prices in Australian dollars, while the Apple App Store may display prices in USD or AUD depending on your region settings. Direct website purchases sometimes carry different renewal terms than app-based subscriptions. Before cancelling, log into your account and check your actual billing statement to confirm the precise amount Facer is charging you. This verification is particularly important because promotional pricing expires after your first year, and renewal rates increase automatically.
Billing cycles and renewal dates
Most Facer subscriptions renew automatically on a monthly or annual basis. Your renewal date is displayed in your account settings and appears in your email confirmation receipt. Cancelling before your renewal date stops future charges but does not refund the current billing period. If you want to preserve access until your current billing period ends while preventing future charges, you must cancel before the renewal date arrives.
Common reasons to cancel versus reasons to keep your subscription
Before you proceed with cancellation, weigh whether your reasons for cancelling outweigh the service's ongoing value to you.
| Reasons to cancel |
Reasons to keep |
| Unexpected billing amounts; promotional period expired |
You use premium watch faces daily across multiple devices |
| Difficulty stopping trial charges; automatic renewal confusion |
Ad-free experience improves your smartwatch usability |
| Paid faces become inaccessible after subscription lapses |
Expanded watchbox storage meets your current needs |
| Service no longer aligns with your spending priorities |
New premium faces are released regularly and you actively use them |
Your cancellation method depends on where you enrolled. Follow the procedure for your platform: Google Play (Android), Apple App Store (iOS), or the Facer website.
Cancel Facer on android via google play
If you subscribed through Google Play, you must cancel through Google's own billing system. This is the mandatory method under Google's terms of service.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device or visit play.google.com in a web browser.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner, then select Payments and subscriptions.
- Choose Subscriptions from the menu.
- Find and tap Facer in your active subscriptions list.
- Select Cancel subscription and confirm your decision.
- Google Play will display a confirmation message and your cancellation takes effect at your next billing date.
Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. No refund is issued for the current period, unless you fall within the 48-hour cooling-off period or meet the Australian Consumer Law refund conditions outlined below.
Cancel Facer on iPhone via apple app store
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, you must cancel via Apple's subscription management system. This applies regardless of how you enrolled your device.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select Subscriptions.
- Find Facer in your active subscriptions.
- Tap Facer and select Cancel Subscription.
- Choose your reason for cancelling from the menu (optional but helpful for Yafee's research into user churn).
- Confirm cancellation by tapping Confirm.
Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period. After cancellation, you lose access to premium features but retain access to any free-tier content. If you believe you were overcharged or misled about renewal terms, you have grounds to request a refund from Apple under Australian Consumer Law.
Cancel Facer via the website
If you enrolled directly through the Facer website rather than an app store, cancel through your account dashboard.
- Visit the Facer website and log into your account.
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management (usually found under your profile menu).
- Locate your active subscription and select Cancel Subscription or Downgrade to Free.
- Facer may display a retention offer or ask you to confirm your cancellation reason.
- Complete the cancellation process and look for a confirmation email.
Your subscription ends on your next billing date. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, contact Facer support to verify your cancellation was processed correctly.
Cancel Facer by postal letter
If you encounter technical difficulties cancelling online or wish to cancel in writing, you may send a formal cancellation request by post.
- Write a letter that includes:
- Your full name
- Your account email address
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Facer subscription effective today"
- The date of your letter
- Your signature
- Mail your letter to Facer's registered address in Sydney (contact Facer support or check your account settings for the current address).
- Send your letter via registered mail or courier so you have proof of delivery.
- Retain a copy of your letter and proof of postage for your records.
Facer must acknowledge receipt of your cancellation letter within 5 business days. Your subscription is considered cancelled on the date your letter is received by Facer, not the date you posted it. If Facer fails to confirm cancellation, contact the ACCC or escalate your complaint through Yafee's dispute resolution process.
Your legal position and consumer protections
Australian Consumer Law grants you specific rights when a digital subscription fails to meet the expected standard of service or involves misleading billing practices.
Your legal position: You are entitled to cancel a Facer subscription at any time without penalty. If Facer has misled you about pricing, continued charging after you attempted to cancel, or failed to deliver advertised features, you may request a full or partial refund under section 259A of the Australian Consumer Law. The burden of proof rests with Facer to demonstrate that their charges were accurate and that you were adequately notified of renewal terms.
When you qualify for a refund
You may claim a refund in the following circumstances:
- Facer charged you an amount materially different from the advertised price without your explicit consent.
- You cancelled during a free trial period, but Facer continued charging after the trial ended.
- Core features advertised in Facer's marketing were unavailable or removed after your purchase.
- You cancelled within 48 hours of purchase (the statutory cooling-off period for digital services), provided Facer has not yet delivered substantial service.
- Facer continued billing after you submitted a valid cancellation request.
How to pursue a refund claim
Contact Facer support directly and submit a formal refund request in writing (email or postal letter). Include a brief explanation of why you believe you qualify for a refund, along with copies of your billing statements and any evidence of your cancellation attempt. Facer must respond to your claim within 30 days.
If Facer refuses your refund or fails to respond, escalate your complaint to the ACCC or your payment provider (Google Play, Apple, or your bank). Yafee recommends filing a formal complaint with the ACCC if Facer's conduct appears to breach the Australian Consumer Law, as the regulator can take enforcement action against the company on your behalf.
What happens after you cancel Facer
Cancelling Facer is not instantaneous; several steps unfold after you submit your cancellation request.
Immediate changes to your account
Once you confirm cancellation, your account status changes to "inactive" or "cancelled" in Facer's system. You retain access to free-tier features until your current billing period ends. Premium features (ad-free experience, full watch face library, expanded watchbox) become inaccessible immediately or at the end of your billing period, depending on Facer's policy. Any custom watch faces you purchased during your subscription remain on your device but may lose syncing or update capabilities.
Your final billing statement
Your last charge appears on your billing statement as usual. No refund is issued unless you qualify under the conditions outlined above. Check your bank statement or app store account 3 to 5 business days after cancellation to confirm no further charges appear after your cancellation date.
Recovering lost data or purchases
If you want to preserve your custom watch faces or watchbox data, export or back up your content before cancellation. Some users reinstall Facer later as a free-tier user, and your previously purchased faces may remain accessible depending on Facer's archival policy. Contact Facer support if you need clarification on what data persists after cancellation.
Common mistakes when cancelling Facer
Cancelling a digital subscription can feel confusing, but awareness of these traps helps you avoid costly errors.
Mistake one: cancelling in the wrong place
You must cancel through the platform where you originally enrolled. If you subscribed via Google Play, cancelling through the Facer website does not stop your Google Play charges. If you subscribed via Apple App Store, only Apple can process your cancellation. Check your confirmation email or account settings to identify your original platform, then follow the corresponding cancellation procedure above.
Mistake two: cancelling too late in your billing cycle
If you cancel one day before your renewal date, you still pay for the next billing period. Check your renewal date in advance and cancel at least 1 to 2 days beforehand to avoid an unwanted charge. Many users delay cancellation and miss this window, resulting in an extra month or year of charges.
Mistake three: assuming cancellation is instant
Cancellation requests take 24 to 48 hours to process across all platforms. Do not assume your subscription is cancelled immediately after clicking "cancel". Monitor your bank statement or app store account to confirm no charges appear after your expected cancellation date. If a charge appears after cancellation, contact support immediately with proof of your cancellation request.
Mistake four: not documenting your cancellation
Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation and save any confirmation emails. If Facer disputes your cancellation later or continues charging, this evidence is essential for claiming a refund under Australian Consumer Law. Yafee strongly recommends keeping records for at least 12 months after cancellation.
How to request a refund from Facer
If you meet the refund conditions outlined above, submit a formal claim to Facer within 30 days of your cancellation or the disputed charge.
- Gather evidence: collect your billing statements, confirmation emails, screenshots of your cancellation request, and any correspondence with Facer support.
- Compose a formal refund request email or letter that includes your account details, the specific charge(s) you dispute, and a brief explanation of why you qualify for a refund under Australian Consumer Law.
- Send your request to Facer support via the email address listed in your account settings or their website contact page.
- If Facer does not respond within 30 days, file a complaint with the ACCC or your payment provider.
- Your payment provider (Google, Apple, or your bank) can reverse charges if Facer fails to respond or refuses your legitimate claim.

Facer support and cancellation address
For the most current contact details, visit the Facer website or check your account settings. Facer maintains a registered address in Sydney where you may send formal cancellation or refund requests by post. When writing by post, address your letter clearly with your full name, account email, and a statement of your cancellation request. Send via registered mail and retain proof of postage.
Escalation to the australian competition and consumer commission (ACCC)
If Facer fails to respond to your cancellation or refund request within 30 days, or if you believe the company has breached the Australian Consumer Law, lodge a complaint with the ACCC:
- Website: www.accc.gov.au
- Phone: 1300 135 135 (Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm Australian Eastern Time)
- Email: [email protected]
The ACCC can investigate Facer's billing and cancellation practices and take enforcement action if the company is found to have engaged in misleading or unconscionable conduct. Yafee recommends preparing a detailed complaint that includes all documentation of your cancellation attempts and any charges you believe were unlawful.
Summary: your path forward with Facer cancellation
Cancelling your Facer subscription is straightforward once you identify your original enrollment platform and follow the correct cancellation procedure. Whether you enrolled via Google Play, the Apple App Store, or the Facer website, your cancellation takes effect at your next billing date, and no refund is issued for the current period unless you qualify under Australian Consumer Law.
Document all charges and cancellation requests, verify that no unauthorised charges appear after your cancellation date, and submit a formal refund claim if Facer misled you about pricing or continued billing after you requested cancellation. The ACCC is your ultimate escalation route if Facer refuses to respond or comply with your legal rights as an Australian consumer.
