How to cancel your BeFlexible subscription and avoid unexpected charges
Understanding BeFlexible and why cancellation matters
BeFlexible is a subscription-based wellness and supplement service that operates primarily through promotional free trials that automatically convert to recurring monthly charges. When you enrol in a trial offer-such as a 7-day free trial-your subscription automatically converts to a paid monthly shipment unless you explicitly cancel beforehand. The company does not offer a self-serve online cancellation portal, which means you must contact customer support directly by phone or email. This guide walks you through every step, your consumer rights in Canada, and what to expect after you cancel.
Many Canadian consumers discover unexpected charges on their credit card only after the trial period ends, then struggle to reach customer support or understand the refund process. Yafee has helped thousands of subscribers navigate exactly this situation. Understanding your cancellation window and the correct contact method can save you money and frustration.
Why BeFlexible cancellations require immediate action
BeFlexible operates on an auto-renewal model with a built-in deadline. A typical offer includes a 7-day free trial that triggers a monthly charge (currently $39.95 plus shipping) once the trial period expires. If you do not cancel before that deadline, your credit card will be charged automatically. This is how BeFlexible's business model works, and the responsibility to cancel lies with you. Timing and documentation are therefore critical to avoiding unwanted charges.
The auto-renewal trap and how to avoid it
Your BeFlexible trial comes with a fixed expiration date. Once the promotional period ends, your account enters a paid phase unless you have already submitted a cancellation request to customer support. The company does not send a reminder notification before charging your card. You must take action independently, before your trial closes, to prevent the first charge from processing. Yafee recommends that you mark your trial end date on your calendar and cancel at least 48 hours before that date to ensure the request is processed in time.
Your consumer rights in canada and what you need to know
Canadian consumer protection law provides important safeguards when you deal with subscription services and distance sales.
Federal and provincial protections for distance sales
Canada's Competition Act prohibits misleading advertising and unfair business practices. Furthermore, many provinces-including Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec-have specific consumer protection statutes that govern distance sales, including online and mail-order purchases. These laws typically require that companies provide clear cancellation terms at the point of sale and honour cancellation requests promptly. BeFlexible does not publish a detailed, Canada-specific cancellation or refund policy on its public website, which itself may constitute a compliance issue under provincial distance-sale regulations.
Your statutory rights and cooling-off protections
Although BeFlexible does not advertise a 14-day statutory cooling-off period, several Canadian provinces recognize an implicit right to cancel distance purchases within a reasonable timeframe if you were not provided with clear terms beforehand. If you believe you were misled about trial terms or charged without explicit written consent, you have the right to dispute the charge with your credit card issuer or bank. You can also file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority or the federal Competition Bureau if BeFlexible engaged in deceptive marketing. Yafee recommends that you document every interaction with BeFlexible-dates, times, agent names, and confirmation numbers-to support any future dispute.
Your legal position
Under the Consumer Protection Act (Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, and other provinces), you have the right to cancel a distance purchase within a reasonable period if you did not receive clear, upfront disclosure of all material terms. BeFlexible's failure to offer a transparent cancellation mechanism and its reliance on telephone-only cancellation may expose the company to regulatory scrutiny. If you are charged after submitting a cancellation request, your credit card company or bank can reverse the charge under the chargeback process. The Competition Bureau and your provincial consumer protection authority are your escalation routes if BeFlexible refuses to honour your cancellation or disputes a refund claim.
How to cancel your BeFlexible subscription
BeFlexible offers two primary cancellation methods: phone and email. Both require you to contact customer support directly; there is no online account dashboard or self-service cancellation option.
Cancellation by phone (fastest method)
Calling customer support is the quickest way to cancel. You will speak to an agent who can confirm your cancellation on the spot and provide you with a reference number.
- Call BeFlexible customer support at 1-800-503-1194.
- Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM ET (5:00 AM to 4:00 PM PT)
- Saturday: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM ET (7:00 AM to 3:00 PM PT)
- Sunday: Closed
- When the agent answers, confirm your full name, account email, and the phone number or address associated with your subscription.
- State clearly: "I want to cancel my BeFlexible subscription effective immediately" or before your trial end date.
- Ask the agent for a cancellation confirmation number and the date your cancellation takes effect.
- Request that the agent email you a written confirmation of the cancellation to your registered email address.
- Do not hang up until you have received the confirmation number and understand the next steps.
Cancellation by email (documented alternative)
If you prefer written documentation or cannot reach customer support by phone, you can submit a cancellation request via email. This method creates a paper trail and is useful if you later need to dispute a charge.
- Compose an email to BeFlexible's customer support email address (consult their help centre at beflexible.zendesk.com for the current support email).
- Include the following information in your email:
- Your full name
- The email address associated with your account
- Your phone number
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect
- A clear statement: "Please cancel my BeFlexible subscription effective immediately"
- Send the email from the address registered with BeFlexible.
- Take a screenshot or save a copy of your sent email for your records.
- Expect a response within 24 to 48 business hours.
- If you do not receive a confirmation within 48 hours, follow up with a phone call to confirm the cancellation was processed.
Verification after cancellation
After you receive your cancellation confirmation number, verify that your cancellation was processed correctly.
- Check your email inbox and spam folder for a written cancellation confirmation from BeFlexible.
- Monitor your credit card statement or bank account for any charges after your cancellation take-effect date.
- If a charge appears after the cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card company immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation number.
- Save all cancellation documentation (confirmation numbers, email confirmations, and phone records) for at least one year in case you need to dispute a charge.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
BeFlexible's refund policy depends on when you cancel relative to your trial end date and whether you have already been charged.
Refunds during the free trial period
If you cancel during your free trial-before any charge has been applied to your credit card-you will not be charged. No refund is necessary because no payment was processed. Your account simply closes on the date of your cancellation request.
Refunds after your first charge has posted
If you are charged before you cancel, BeFlexible may offer a refund depending on the circumstances. In accordance with Canadian consumer protection law, you have the right to request a refund if you cancel within a reasonable period after your first charge. Yafee recommends that you include a refund request in your cancellation communication. State: "I request a refund of the subscription charge on my account. Please confirm the refund amount and the date it will be credited to my card."
Credit card chargebacks and dispute resolution
If BeFlexible refuses to issue a refund, you can dispute the charge with your credit card company or bank. This process is called a chargeback. Your card issuer will investigate and can reverse the charge if you can demonstrate that you submitted a valid cancellation request before or shortly after the charge was processed. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation number, email confirmations, and any correspondence with BeFlexible.
Common cancellation traps and how to avoid them
Many subscribers encounter preventable obstacles when cancelling. Below are the most common mistakes-and how to sidestep them.
Not cancelling before the trial end date
The single most costly mistake is waiting until after your trial expires to cancel. Once the paid phase begins, you will be charged. Always cancel at least 48 hours before your trial end date. Mark this date on your calendar immediately after you enrol.
Relying on verbal-only cancellations
If you cancel by phone, the agent may verbally confirm your cancellation, but you have no written proof. Always request an email confirmation. If the company later claims you never cancelled, your email confirmation protects you.
Failing to verify the cancellation in writing
Do not assume your cancellation is complete because an agent said so. Follow up with an email asking for written confirmation. This creates documentation that stands up in a dispute with your bank or a complaint to the Competition Bureau.
Not monitoring your credit card after cancellation
Even after you cancel, monitor your statement for the next 30 days. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately. Do not wait; chargebacks must be initiated within a specific timeframe (usually 60 to 120 days depending on your card issuer).

What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not end immediately. Understanding the timeline helps you avoid surprise charges.
Timing of cancellation processing
When you submit a cancellation request, BeFlexible typically processes it within 24 to 48 business hours. However, if you cancel close to your trial end date, the company may not process the request in time to stop an automatic charge. If this happens, contact customer support again and request a refund. Yafee recommends that you allow at least 48 hours for processing and cancel well in advance of your trial expiration.
Shipments after cancellation
If you have already received one or more shipments before you cancelled, those products are yours to keep. You are not required to return them. However, if you cancel during your free trial before any shipment is sent, you will not receive any products.
Unsubscribe confirmations and account closure
After your cancellation is processed, BeFlexible will close your account. You will no longer be able to log into your account. Email confirmations remain your only proof of cancellation, so save these permanently.
Escalation if BeFlexible refuses to cancel
In rare cases, customer support may refuse to process your cancellation or dispute your refund claim. You have legal recourse under Canadian consumer protection law.
Filing a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority
Each province has a consumer protection agency. Contact your provincial authority if BeFlexible fails to honour your cancellation request or disputes a refund:
- Ontario: Ontario Attorney General, Consumer Protection division
- British Columbia: Consumer Protection Office
- Quebec: Office of the Protecteur du consommateur
- Alberta: Service Alberta, Consumer Protection division
- Manitoba: Consumer Protection division, Department of Justice
Filing a complaint with the federal competition bureau
If you believe BeFlexible engaged in misleading advertising (for example, failing to disclose auto-renewal terms clearly at the point of sale), file a complaint with the Competition Bureau. Visit competition.gc.ca to file a report. The Competition Bureau investigates unfair business practices and deceptive marketing across Canada.
Credit card chargeback as a last resort
Contact your credit card issuer or bank and request a chargeback. Provide your cancellation confirmation number and all written correspondence with BeFlexible. Your card company will investigate and can reverse charges if you have evidence of a valid cancellation request.
