How to cancel Forhers in canada: your complete guide to stopping telehealth charges

Why cancel Forhers and what you should know first

Forhers (operating as Hims & Hers Canada, Inc.) is an online telehealth platform that delivers prescription medications, weight-loss programs, and virtual consultations across Canada. You access licensed providers remotely, receive medications shipped to your home, and manage subscription plans for birth control, weight-loss treatments, and injectable therapies. If your health needs have changed, you've found a more affordable option, or you're simply not using the service anymore, cancelling your subscription is your right.

At Yafee, we help thousands of Canadian consumers cancel recurring subscriptions cleanly and on their terms. The good news: Forhers allows you to cancel online through your account dashboard in minutes. The critical detail: you must cancel at least 2 days before your next billing date to avoid unwanted charges. This guide walks you through every cancellation method, refund policy, your consumer rights under Canadian law, and the common traps to avoid.

Common reasons to cancel Forhers

You might cancel because your health provider has changed, you've completed your treatment plan, you've found a lower-cost alternative, you've experienced side effects from medications, or telehealth simply isn't right for you. Many subscribers sign up for short-term treatments but forget to cancel before the next renewal. Yafee recognizes this pattern across Canada and provides clear, step-by-step cancellation guidance to prevent surprise charges.

How Forhers subscriptions renew

Most Forhers plans renew monthly. You pay upfront for your current billing period, and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel. Some plans, like injectable weight-loss programs, require you to pay 6 or 12 months upfront, which means you retain access for that full period even after you cancel. Understanding your specific plan type directly affects when your access ends and whether refunds apply.

Forhers pricing and plan options in canada

Your plan type determines your cancellation outcome and refund eligibility.

If you're on a month-to-month plan like birth control, cancelling stops your next charge immediately, provided you cancel before the renewal date. If you prepaid for 6 or 12 months, cancelling stops future charges but you retain access through your paid period. Yafee recommends reviewing your last receipt or logging into your account to confirm which plan you're on before proceeding.

Your consumer rights under canadian law

Canadian federal and provincial consumer protection laws protect your right to cancel subscriptions and govern refund eligibility.

The consumer protection act and your cancellation rights

Under the Consumer Protection Act (federal) and equivalent provincial legislation in British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec, you have the right to cancel a service subscription within a reasonable timeframe. Forhers, as a subscription service provider, must honour cancellation requests submitted through documented channels (such as your online account dashboard or email). The Act requires the company to cease billing immediately upon cancellation confirmation, provided you submit your request before the billing cutoff date.

Furthermore, you have the right to receive written confirmation of your cancellation within 5 to 10 business days. If Forhers charges you after you've cancelled, the burden falls on the company to prove the charge was authorized, not on you to prove it wasn't. Consequently, keep all confirmation emails and screenshots as evidence of your cancellation request.

Your legal position on refunds

Under Canadian consumer law, the refund terms depend on your plan type and the reason for cancellation. If you cancel a monthly subscription before the billing date, you are entitled to a full refund for the upcoming billing period. If you prepaid for 6 or 12 months upfront and cancel mid-term, you may be eligible for a prorated refund of unused months, depending on Forhers' stated refund policy. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, Forhers must clearly disclose its refund policy at the point of purchase and in your account settings.

If Forhers refuses a legitimate refund claim, you can escalate to the Competition Act bureau (a federal enforcement body) or your provincial consumer protection agency. In Ontario, that's the Consumer Protection Bureau; in British Columbia, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions; in Quebec, Éducaloi or the Ombudsman. Yafee advises keeping detailed records of all communications to support your claim if escalation becomes necessary.

How to cancel Forhers online via your account dashboard

The fastest and most documented cancellation method is through your Forhers account dashboard.

Step 1: log in to your Forhers account

1. Open your web browser and navigate to forhers.com.
2. Click "Log In" or "Sign In" in the top-right corner.
3. Enter your email address and password.
4. Complete any two-factor authentication prompts if enabled on your account.

Step 2: navigate to your subscription settings

1. Once logged in, locate the account menu (typically a profile icon or "Account Settings" link).
2. Select "Subscriptions" or "Billing & Subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
3. Review the list of active subscriptions associated with your account.
4. Identify the subscription you wish to cancel and click on it to open the subscription details page.

Step 3: select and confirm cancellation

1. On the subscription details page, locate the "Cancel Subscription" button or link.
2. Click the button to initiate the cancellation process.
3. Forhers may display a confirmation screen asking why you're cancelling; this is optional feedback but helpful for the company.
4. Click "Confirm Cancellation" or "Yes, cancel my subscription" to finalize the request.

Step 4: receive and save your confirmation email

1. Within minutes, you'll receive a confirmation email from Forhers at the email address associated with your account.
2. The email will state that your subscription has been cancelled effective at the end of your current billing period.
3. Save or print this email and screenshot your account dashboard showing "Cancelled" or "Inactive" status.
4. Note the cancellation date and the date your access ends for your records.

Critical timing requirement

You must submit your cancellation request at least 2 days before your next billing date to prevent the renewal charge from processing. Forhers' billing system updates every 48 hours, so late cancellations may not prevent the charge. If you miss this window and are charged, contact Forhers' customer support immediately with your confirmation email to request a reversal or refund. Yafee advises marking your calendar 3 days before each billing date as a reminder to cancel if you have decided to end your subscription.

What happens after you cancel

You've successfully submitted your cancellation request. Understanding what comes next prevents confusion and protects you from accidental re-billing.

Access and medication continuity

Upon cancellation, your access continues until the end of your current billing period. If you're taking a medication like birth control or a weight-loss injection, your current supply remains yours to use. Forhers will not ship new medication after your cancellation takes effect. Plan ahead to ensure you have enough medication to bridge any gap to your next healthcare provider or pharmacy.

Refund processing timeline

If you prepaid for a multi-month plan and are eligible for a refund, Forhers processes refunds to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days. Monitor your bank account or credit card statement for the refund credit. If the refund does not appear within 10 business days, contact Forhers' billing support with your cancellation confirmation email and account number.

Preventing accidental re-enrollment

Some subscription services allow re-enrollment through inactive accounts. After cancellation, log back into your Forhers account periodically (monthly for the first 3 months) to confirm your subscription status remains "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If you see your subscription has reactivated without your consent, report it to Forhers immediately and request a refund for the unauthorized charge.

Refund policy and eligibility

Your refund eligibility depends on the plan type and the timing of your cancellation request.

Monthly subscription refunds

If you cancel a month-to-month plan before the next billing date, you are not charged for the upcoming month. No refund of the current month's fee applies unless you cancel within Forhers' stated trial period (typically 7 days from first charge). If you were charged by mistake or after requesting cancellation, you're entitled to a full refund of that charge.

Prepaid multi-month plan refunds

If you prepaid for a 6-month or 12-month plan, Forhers typically calculates a prorated refund based on the remaining unused months. For example, if you paid $1,194 (6 months x $199) for a GLP-1 injectable and cancel after 2 months, you should receive a refund for the 4 unused months ($796). In accordance with Forhers' terms of service, this refund is processed to your original payment method within 10 business days of cancellation.

Non-refundable scenarios

Forhers may not refund fees if you cancel after receiving your first consultation or medication shipment if the service terms explicitly state consultations are non-refundable. Furthermore, if you cancel within the first 7 days of a trial period, you typically receive a full refund. If you cancel after the trial expires, no refund applies for the current billing period. Always review your account's "Terms of Service" or "Refund Policy" link to confirm the specific terms for your plan.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Most cancellation problems arise from preventable errors. Below are the traps subscribers encounter and how you can sidestep them.

Mistake 1: cancelling too close to the billing date

If you cancel fewer than 2 days before your billing date, your renewal charge may process before your cancellation request takes effect. Forhers' billing system processes charges on a nightly schedule, and your cancellation request may not synchronize in time. Solution: Cancel at least 3 days before your next billing date to create a safety margin. Log into your account immediately and note the exact date of your next charge, then subtract 3 days and set a phone reminder.

Mistake 2: assuming cancellation emails are enough without account verification

Some subscribers contact Forhers via email requesting cancellation but do not complete the cancellation through their account dashboard. Email cancellation requests can get lost in customer support queues or misinterpreted. Solution: Always cancel through your online account dashboard first. Use email only to follow up if the dashboard cancellation fails or if you receive a charge after confirming cancellation.

Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation

If a dispute arises over whether you cancelled, Forhers will ask for proof. Subscribers who don't save their confirmation email or screenshot their cancelled subscription status have no documented evidence. Solution: Screenshot your cancelled subscription status immediately after confirming cancellation and save the confirmation email to a folder labelled "Forhers Cancellation." Forward both to yourself in a separate email as backup.

Mistake 4: failing to monitor your account after cancellation

Some subscribers cancel and assume the matter is closed, only to discover they were charged again 2 months later. Accidental re-enrollments happen when accounts reactivate due to system glitches or customer data errors. Solution: Log into your Forhers account on the date your subscription was supposed to end. Confirm your status is "Cancelled" or "Inactive." Check your bank statement 5 days after your access should have ended to verify no new charge appears.

Mistake 5: not requesting a refund explicitly if charges continue after cancellation

If Forhers charges you after you've cancelled, calling or emailing casually won't guarantee a refund. You must document the unauthorized charge and formally request a refund. Solution: Send a written message to Forhers' billing support (via your account dashboard or email) stating: "I cancelled my subscription on [date] as confirmed by email [confirmation email date]. I was charged [amount] on [charge date] after cancellation. Please refund this unauthorized charge immediately to [original payment method]." Keep a copy of this message.

When to escalate your cancellation issue

If Forhers refuses to cancel your subscription, charges you after cancellation, or denies a legitimate refund, you have legal recourse under Canadian consumer protection law.

Step 1: gather evidence

Collect all documentation: your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of your cancelled subscription status, bank statements showing the unauthorized charge, and copies of any support emails you've sent. This evidence forms the basis of your complaint if escalation becomes necessary.

Step 2: contact Forhers' billing support with formal written notice

Send a formal email (not a chat message) to Forhers' billing support address stating your issue clearly. Include your account number, the cancellation date, and the specific charge in dispute. Request a written response within 10 business days. Yafee recommends using email because it creates a documented record that holds weight in regulatory complaints.

Step 3: file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority

If Forhers does not respond or refuses to refund, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection agency. In Ontario, contact the Consumer Protection Bureau; in British Columbia, contact the Office of the Consumer Protection Officer; in Quebec, contact the Office of the Ombudsman. Provide your evidence file and explain how the company violated your consumer rights. These agencies investigate disputes and can compel refunds.

Step 4: dispute the charge with your bank or credit card issuer

If Forhers charged you after cancellation, contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback or disputed transaction investigation. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your financial institution can recover the unauthorized charge directly from Forhers' merchant account.

Keep versus cancel: making the right choice

Before finalizing cancellation, review whether continuing your Forhers subscription aligns with your health and budget goals.
