Mediahyve is a digital subscription service that delivers media content across web and mobile platforms. You may subscribe through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or directly via the Mediahyve website, depending on your preferred access method. Each subscription path comes with different cancellation procedures, billing cycles, and refund eligibility - which means the platform where you signed up determines exactly how you must cancel.
You might be cancelling because the service no longer fits your needs, you prefer competing platforms, or unexpected charges appeared on your statement. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process step by step, with specific knowledge about common traps and your legal rights as a Canadian consumer under the Consumer Protection Act.
When should you cancel Mediahyve
Cancel if you no longer use the service, if the cost has become unaffordable, or if you found better value elsewhere. Most importantly, if you notice charges you did not authorize, cancel immediately and dispute them with your bank or credit card issuer. Yafee recommends reviewing your subscriptions at least quarterly to ensure you are still receiving value for your money.
Why cancellation timing matters
Mediahyve typically charges on a recurring monthly cycle. If you cancel mid-billing period, you retain access until the end of that paid period, not immediately. Understanding your billing date helps you time your cancellation to minimize wasted charges. Many customers choose to cancel just before their renewal date - a strategic move that maximizes the value of what you have already paid.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
As a Canadian consumer, you have statutory protections under the Consumer Protection Act and the Competition Act that apply to your Mediahyve subscription.
What the consumer protection act guarantees
Under the Consumer Protection Act (provincial legislation in Canada), you have the right to cancel a subscription within a specific timeframe if you were not given clear notice of the subscription terms before purchase. In most Canadian provinces, if Mediahyve failed to provide transparent pricing, billing frequency, or cancellation procedures at the point of sale, you may be entitled to cancel without penalty and request a refund of charges incurred without proper disclosure.
Furthermore, if Mediahyve charges your account without your explicit written consent for each billing cycle, this may violate the negative option rule under provincial consumer protection statutes. Yafee advises documenting all communications you receive - or fail to receive - regarding your subscription terms before you cancel.
Your legal position
You hold the following rights: (1) the right to receive clear, written notice of subscription terms before any charge is made; (2) the right to cancel without penalty if terms were not clearly disclosed; (3) the right to request a refund of unauthorized charges within a reasonable timeframe; (4) the right to lodge a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority if Mediahyve refuses to honour your cancellation or processes unauthorized charges. If Mediahyve fails to acknowledge your cancellation request within 10 business days, you may escalate to your provincial consumer authority or the Competition Bureau of Canada.
Competition act protections
Under the Competition Act, Mediahyve is prohibited from engaging in deceptive marketing practices, including false claims about cancellation ease or hidden renewal charges. If you can demonstrate that Mediahyve made misleading statements about pricing or cancellation, you may file a complaint with the Competition Bureau, which investigates violations and can impose penalties.
Understanding your billing structure is essential before you cancel, as it determines when access stops and whether you qualify for a partial refund.

Pro tip: Before you cancel, log into your Mediahyve account and screenshot your billing statement. Record your exact charge amount, most recent billing date, and next scheduled renewal date. This documentation is crucial if you later need to dispute a charge with your bank or file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority.
Your cancellation method depends entirely on which platform processed your subscription - each requires a different procedure to ensure the charge stops.
Cancel your Mediahyve subscription through the apple app store
If you subscribed via iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system. Deleting the app or your account does not halt billing.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find and tap Mediahyve.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice.
- Verify the cancellation confirmation message
- Screenshot this confirmation for your records.
- Note the exact date when your access will end.
- Confirm your access continues until the end of your current billing period
- After that date, your subscription stops and no further charges occur.
Important: Mediahyve cannot cancel your App Store subscription on your behalf. Apple manages all subscriptions purchased through the App Store. If you contact Mediahyve asking them to cancel, they will direct you back to Apple support. Yafee advises contacting Apple directly if you encounter any issues.
Cancel your Mediahyve subscription through google play store
If you subscribed via an Android device, you must cancel through Google Play's subscription management portal.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Manage subscriptions."
- Find and tap Mediahyve.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm.
- Review the cancellation details and expected access end date
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page.
- Verify that no further charges will be processed after this date
- Your subscription stops at the end of your current billing cycle.
Like Apple, Google Play manages all billing independently. Mediahyve cannot cancel your Play Store subscription directly. Contact Google support if cancellation fails.
Cancel your Mediahyve subscription via direct website or email
If you subscribed directly through the Mediahyve website or via a third-party payment method, you must contact Mediahyve's customer service to cancel.
- Send a cancellation request via email to [email protected]
- Include your full name, email address associated with the account, and account number.
- State that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately or on a specific date.
- Keep a copy of this email for your records.
- Alternatively, call customer service at +1 (844) 928-3850 during operating hours
- Operating hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM GMT-5 (Eastern Time).
- Have your account number and email ready.
- Request a cancellation confirmation number and ask the representative to email you written confirmation.
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation
- Follow up via email if you cancel by phone, requesting written confirmation.
- Screenshot or print any confirmation messages you receive.
Yafee recommends sending cancellation requests via email rather than phone, as email creates a permanent written record that protects you if Mediahyve disputes whether you cancelled. If Mediahyve fails to respond within 10 business days, escalate your complaint to your provincial consumer protection authority.
What happens after you cancel
Cancelling your subscription does not end immediately in most cases - you retain access through the end of your paid billing period.
Access during your final billing period
After you submit your cancellation request, Mediahyve will allow you to use the service until the end of your current billing cycle. This is not a grace period; you have already paid for this time. Your access date and the final day you can log in will be stated in your cancellation confirmation.
Verify the cancellation was processed
Check your credit card or bank statement 3 to 5 business days after your cancellation request to confirm no new charge appears. If Mediahyve continues to charge you after your cancellation request, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and request a chargeback or reversal. Document all communication with Mediahyve in case you need to escalate your dispute.
Data and account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically delete your account data. If you wish to have your personal information removed from Mediahyve's systems, you must submit a separate data deletion request. Contact Mediahyve directly via [email protected] or call the number above to request account and data deletion. Under privacy legislation in Canada, Mediahyve must delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days of your request.
Refund eligibility and how to request a refund
Your right to a refund depends on when you cancel and the specific circumstances of your purchase.
When you qualify for a refund
You may request a refund if: (1) you cancel within 14 days of your first charge and have not materially used the service; (2) Mediahyve charged you without clear prior disclosure of subscription terms; (3) you were charged after you submitted a valid cancellation request; or (4) you were charged due to a billing error or system malfunction. Yafee advises that most subscription services in Canada honour a 14-day cooling-off period for digital services, though Mediahyve's specific refund policy may differ.
How to request a refund
Contact Mediahyve within 30 days of the disputed charge and explain why you believe you are entitled to a refund. Send your request via email to [email protected] and include your account number, the date of the charge, and the amount. Reference the Consumer Protection Act if Mediahyve failed to disclose terms clearly at purchase. Mediahyve should respond within 10 business days. If they refuse, file a chargeback dispute with your bank or credit card company and provide documentation of your cancellation request and Mediahyve's response.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling can feel straightforward, but one misstep can leave you charged for another month - here is how to protect yourself.
Do not delete the app or your account
Deleting the Mediahyve app from your device or deleting your account will not cancel your subscription if you subscribed through Apple, Google, or a third-party processor. You must explicitly cancel the subscription through the payment platform where you originally subscribed. Deleting the app simply removes it from your device; the underlying subscription remains active and charges continue.
Do not assume phone cancellations are final
If you cancel via phone, always request written confirmation via email immediately after the call. Verbal cancellations are difficult to prove if Mediahyve later claims you never cancelled. Yafee strongly recommends sending a follow-up email reiterating the cancellation and referencing the name of the representative you spoke with and the date and time of the call.
Do not ignore your billing statement after cancellation
Monitor your bank or credit card statement for 30 days after you cancel. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and dispute it. Do not wait or assume it will resolve on its own. Early action significantly increases your chances of a successful chargeback.
Do not cancel without documenting terms
Before you cancel, screenshot your account settings, billing history, and subscription terms. This documentation protects you if you later need to file a complaint or dispute charges with your bank. Mediahyve's terms and pricing may change, and having a record of what you agreed to is invaluable if a dispute arises.

If Mediahyve does not respond to your cancellation request, continues charging you, or refuses to cancel despite your written request, you have formal complaint options.
File a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority
Every Canadian province has a consumer protection agency that investigates subscription service disputes. In Ontario, this is Consumer Protection Ontario; in British Columbia, it is the Office of the Consumer Protection BC. Submit a formal complaint if Mediahyve: (1) fails to respond to your cancellation within 10 business days; (2) continues charging after you submitted a cancellation request; or (3) refuses to honour your cancellation rights. Include copies of your cancellation request, all responses from Mediahyve, and your billing statements showing unauthorized charges.
Dispute charges with your bank or credit card issuer
Contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback or charge reversal for any Mediahyve charges you dispute. Provide documentation of your cancellation request and evidence that you were charged after requesting cancellation. Banks typically reverse disputed charges within 30 to 60 days if you submit evidence within 60 days of the transaction.
Contact the competition bureau if deceptive marketing occurred
If Mediahyve engaged in deceptive marketing - for example, falsely advertising "cancel anytime" but then refusing cancellation - file a complaint with the Competition Bureau of Canada at www.competitionbureau.gc.ca. The Bureau investigates violations of the Competition Act and can seek penalties or restitution on your behalf.
Understanding why you want to cancel helps you choose the right alternative service and avoid similar frustrations.
