How to cancel Arccos golf and stop automatic subscription charges
Why you might cancel Arccos
Arccos Golf provides detailed performance analytics and virtual caddie guidance that appeals to serious golfers. Nevertheless, subscription services do not suit every golfer's needs, and the value you receive may diminish over time. You might cancel because you've discovered a competitor app that better serves your game, you're taking a break from golf altogether, or you realise you no longer use the advanced analytics features justifying the monthly cost. Some subscribers cancel after automatic renewal charges a full year's fee without warning, or because the sensor reliability falls short of expectations. Whatever your reason, you have clear consumer rights protecting your ability to cancel without unnecessary obstruction.
At Yafee, we work with thousands of UK consumers each month to navigate subscription cancellations across professional services, fitness platforms, and digital tools. We understand that Arccos cancellation can feel deliberately obscure if you don't know the correct steps and your legal position. This guide grounds your cancellation process in UK consumer law, explains your rights, and walks you through each procedural step so you can cancel with confidence and avoid unwanted charges.
Common reasons to cancel Arccos
You might cancel because a competing golf analytics app-such as Game Golf or a simpler mobile solution-better suits your swing analysis needs. Some subscribers cancel when they realise the annual cost of £99.99 to £119.99 has renewed without explicit reminder. Others find the sensor integration inconsistent, or discover that virtual caddie recommendations do not translate into measurable scorecard improvement. Taking a seasonal break from golf is another valid reason. All of these decisions are yours alone, and UK consumer law protects your right to exit the contract.
The cost of staying subscribed without action
Arccos subscriptions renew automatically on your renewal date unless you actively cancel beforehand. Annual members face charges ranging from £99.99 to £119.99 per year, whilst monthly subscribers pay between £11.99 and £14.99 per month. The premium Arccos+ tier costs significantly more. Each renewal charge occurs without a separate purchase decision on your part, meaning that if you forget to cancel, you lose money you may later reclaim. Understanding your current subscription tier, renewal date, and the exact amount you are charged forms the foundation of your cancellation strategy.
Your consumer rights under UK law
UK consumer law grants you statutory cancellation rights that apply regardless of Arccos's own terms and conditions.
The consumer rights act 2015 and your 14-day cooling-off period
If you purchased your Arccos subscription online or through distance communication-meaning via email, phone, mobile app, or the Arccos website-you benefit from a statutory 14-day cooling-off period. This period runs from the date you completed your purchase. During these 14 days, you can cancel your subscription and request a full refund without providing any reason. This right is non-negotiable; Arccos cannot remove it or impose cancellation fees during this window, regardless of what their terms state.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 also requires Arccos to disclose renewal dates, subscription charges, and cancellation procedures clearly before you complete your purchase. If Arccos has buried this information, failed to obtain explicit consent for auto-renewal, or made the cancellation mechanism difficult to locate, that conduct itself constitutes a breach of consumer law. At Yafee, we recommend documenting everything: take screenshots of the subscription page, the terms you agreed to, and your account dashboard showing the renewal date and charges.
Your rights after the 14-day cooling-off period
Once the 14-day period expires, you can still cancel at any time, but your entitlement to a refund depends on different factors. You retain the right to cancel without penalty if Arccos fails to provide the service as described, breaches the contract, or misleads you about its features. You also have the right to cancel if Arccos changes the subscription terms materially and you disagree. If you simply change your mind and the service is performing correctly, cancellation after day 14 terminates your future subscription but does not automatically entitle you to a refund of charges already made. However, you can pursue a refund claim if you can demonstrate that Arccos misled you about the service's capabilities or failed to deliver as promised.
Your legal position
Within 14 days of purchase: You have a statutory right to cancel and receive a full refund without giving a reason, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Arccos cannot charge you a cancellation fee. After 14 days: You can cancel at any time to stop future charges, but refunds of past payments depend on whether Arccos breached its contract or misrepresented the service. If Arccos refuses to cancel: You can escalate to Trading Standards (your local authority), Citizens Advice Consumer Service, or the Financial Conduct Authority if payment disputes are involved. Document all communication and charges for evidence.
What to do if Arccos refuses to cancel
If you submit a cancellation request and Arccos ignores you, delays the process, or continues charging you after cancellation, you have formal escalation routes. Your first step is to send a written cancellation request by email to Arccos customer support, requesting written confirmation of the cancellation date. Keep this email and any reply. If Arccos does not respond within 7 working days, or if they refuse to cancel, you can escalate to Trading Standards in your local authority. Citizens Advice Consumer Service provides free guidance on subscription disputes and can help you draft a formal complaint. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) investigates complaints about payment services and unauthorised charges. Yafee advises all consumers to retain copies of every email, charge statement, and cancellation confirmation; this documentation is your proof if you need to pursue the complaint further.

Annual subscribers face the largest renewal charge and should mark their renewal date clearly on their calendar. Monthly subscribers renew more frequently but pay less per payment. If you are unsure which tier you hold, log into your Arccos account and navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Details to confirm your current plan and next renewal date.
How to cancel Arccos: step-by-step procedure
The cancellation process varies depending on whether you access Arccos through their website, mobile app, or customer support contact.
Cancelling via the Arccos website
Cancelling through the Arccos website is the quickest and most transparent method.
- Visit arccos.com and sign into your account using your email address and password.
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management (typically found in your profile menu or settings gear icon).
- Locate the Subscription or Billing section and select your active subscription.
- Click Cancel Subscription or similar button. Arccos may present a retention offer or survey asking why you are cancelling; you are not obligated to respond.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted. The system should display a cancellation confirmation message.
- Screenshot or download this confirmation immediately; you will need it as proof if charges continue or disputes arise.
- Check your email for a confirmation message from Arccos (check your spam folder if necessary). This email should state your cancellation date and the date your access will terminate.
- If you do not receive confirmation within 24 hours, proceed to email support (see below).
Cancelling via Arccos mobile app
If you manage your subscription through the Arccos mobile app, cancellation is also available in-app, though the path may differ slightly from the website.
- Open the Arccos app and log in to your account.
- Tap Menu or Settings (often represented by three horizontal lines or a gear icon).
- Select Account, Subscription, or Billing.
- Find the option to manage or cancel your subscription.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation screen displaying the cancellation date.
- Navigate to your email account and confirm that Arccos has sent a cancellation confirmation email. The app may not display a detailed receipt, so email confirmation is essential.
- If the app does not provide a clear cancellation option, or if you cannot locate the subscription management menu, use the website method instead.
Cancelling via email to Arccos customer support
If the website or app method fails, or if you prefer a written record, email cancellation provides documented proof of your request.
- Compose a new email to Arccos customer support (check your account dashboard or confirmation email for the correct support email address; commonly [email protected] or a similar variant).
- In the subject line, write: "Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Account Email Address]".
- In the email body, include:
- Your full name
- The email address associated with your Arccos account
- Your subscription tier (Arccos Caddie, Arccos+ Premium, or Monthly)
- Your current renewal date (visible in your account settings)
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Arccos subscription effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation in writing and provide the date on which my access will terminate."
- Do not over-explain; keep the email professional and factual.
- Send the email and retain a copy for your records.
- Expect a response within 5 to 7 working days. If Arccos does not respond within this timeframe, follow up with a second email marked "Follow-up".
- When you receive Arccos's cancellation confirmation, save and print this email or take a screenshot.
Cancelling by post
Postal cancellation is slower but creates a dated, physical record of your request.
- Write a formal cancellation letter on plain paper (or headed paper if you have it), including:
- Your full name and address
- The email address of your Arccos account
- Your subscription tier and current renewal date
- A clear cancellation statement: "I request the cancellation of my Arccos Golf subscription with immediate effect. Please confirm this cancellation in writing and advise the date on which my access will terminate."
- The date you are sending the letter
- Your signature
- Enclose a copy of a recent billing statement or account screenshot showing your subscription details.
- Send the letter by Recorded Delivery or Special Delivery to the registered address of Arccos (check their website's contact page for the correct postal address).
- Retain your Royal Mail receipt as proof of postage.
- Allow 10 to 14 working days for a response. If you do not receive written cancellation confirmation, contact Arccos by email as a follow-up.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Your entitlement to a refund depends on when you cancel and whether Arccos has breached its contract.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 days of your purchase, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 entitles you to a full refund of all charges. Arccos must process this refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. The refund will return to your original payment method (debit card, credit card, or PayPal account). Check your bank statement 7 to 10 working days after cancellation; if the refund has not appeared, contact Arccos or your bank to investigate.
Refunds after the 14-day period
After the 14-day cooling-off period ends, you can cancel at any time, but you are only entitled to a refund of past charges if Arccos has breached its contract or misrepresented the service. For example, if the sensor integration did not work as advertised, or if virtual caddie features were not available as promised, you may pursue a refund claim. To do so, send Arccos a formal complaint letter outlining the breach, requesting a refund of charges from the date the problem began. Provide evidence: screenshots of the problem, dates you reported issues, and correspondence with support. If Arccos refuses, escalate to Trading Standards or Citizens Advice Consumer Service. Yafee recommends keeping detailed records of any service failures or feature unavailability so you can substantiate your claim.
What happens to your account after cancellation
Once you cancel, Arccos will terminate your access on the date shown in your cancellation confirmation email (usually immediately or at the end of your paid period). You will no longer be able to log into your account or use the app, and no further charges will occur. Your historical data (round statistics, sensor recordings) may remain in Arccos servers for a period, but you will not be able to retrieve it once access is lost. If you wish to export or download your golf data before cancellation, do so immediately after confirming your cancellation; some services allow a grace period for data retrieval.
Verifying that charges have stopped
After cancellation, monitor your bank account or credit card for 30 days to confirm that Arccos has not charged you again. Check both your regular statement and any payment apps you use (Apple Wallet, Google Pay, PayPal, etc.). If an unauthorised charge appears after your cancellation confirmation, contact Arccos immediately by email with your cancellation confirmation attached. If Arccos does not reverse the charge within 5 working days, contact your bank's fraud department and dispute the charge. Your cancellation confirmation email is your evidence that you did not authorise further payments.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Arccos
Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, and most of the obstacles you encounter are easily avoided with the right approach.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Simply removing the Arccos app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your account remains active, and Arccos will continue to charge you on your renewal date. You must cancel through your account settings (website, app, or email) before deleting the app. Deletion is a final housekeeping step, not a cancellation step.
Missing your renewal date
If you want to cancel before the next charge, you must act before your renewal date. Your renewal date is displayed in your Subscription or Billing section. Mark it on your calendar now if you plan to cancel; if you wait until after renewal, you have paid for another period and will need to request a refund, which is more complicated. Cancelling 30 days before renewal ensures you have time to complete the process and receive confirmation.
Not keeping cancellation confirmation
Screenshot or print your cancellation confirmation email immediately. If Arccos continues to charge you, or if you need to dispute a charge, you will need this confirmation as proof. Many consumers cancel but lose the confirmation email in their inbox clutter, then struggle to prove cancellation later. Save it to a folder on your computer or phone labeled "Cancellations".
Assuming auto-renewal is off without verifying
Some subscription services allow you to pause rather than cancel, which is not the same thing. Check that your subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive", not "Paused" or "On Hold". Paused subscriptions often auto-resume after a set period, incurring charges you did not expect. Confirm the exact status in your account settings.

What to do if Arccos continues charging after cancellation
Despite a clear cancellation request, some consumers report that Arccos continues to charge them. If this happens to you, follow this formal escalation process.
Step 1: contact Arccos directly with evidence
Email Arccos customer support (with your cancellation confirmation attached) stating: "I cancelled my subscription on [date shown in confirmation]. I have been charged £[amount] on [date of unauthorised charge]. This is an unauthorised charge. I request an immediate refund and confirmation that no further charges will occur." Arccos must respond within 5 working days.
Step 2: dispute the charge with your bank
If Arccos does not refund within 5 working days, contact your bank's dispute team. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and the disputed charge statement. Your bank will investigate and can reverse the charge whilst the dispute is ongoing.
Step 3: escalate to trading standards or citizens advice
If the charge remains unresolved after 14 days, contact Trading Standards in your local authority or Citizens Advice Consumer Service. Both organisations can open a formal complaint against Arccos. Yafee advises submitting complaints in writing (by email) so you have a dated record of escalation.
Summary: cancelling Arccos step by step
Cancelling your Arccos Golf subscription is a straightforward process when you follow the correct procedure and understand your consumer rights. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 protects your ability to cancel within 14 days for a full refund, and you can cancel at any time afterwards to stop future charges. Use the website or app method for immediate confirmation, or email Arccos if you prefer a written record. Keep all confirmation emails and screenshots. Monitor your bank account for 30 days after cancellation to ensure no further charges occur. If Arccos refuses to cancel or continues charging, escalate to Trading Standards, Citizens Advice Consumer Service, or your bank's dispute team. Yafee has helped thousands of UK consumers navigate subscription cancellations across professional services, and we understand the frustration when a company makes exiting unnecessarily difficult. By documenting every step and knowing your rights, you can cancel Arccos confidently and reclaim control of your money.
