Chalk Performance is a subscription-based fitness application that delivers personalised training programs, workout calendars, and performance tracking tools to athletes and fitness enthusiasts. The platform bills your payment method on a recurring monthly basis, typically charged in USD to your Indian bank account. If the service no longer aligns with your fitness goals, budget, or lifestyle, you must actively cancel your membership to prevent ongoing charges. Many users discover that cancellation is deliberately obscured in the app interface, making it difficult to locate the cancel button without external guidance. Yafee has reviewed thousands of fitness app cancellations and understands the frustration this creates. This guide walks you through every cancellation method available under Indian consumer law, the refund entitlements you hold, and the escalation routes if Chalk Performance refuses your request.
Key features of Chalk Performance
The platform provides personalised training programs accessed through a mobile app and web portal. You receive customised workout calendars, real-time progress tracking, instructional videos, and performance analytics tailored to athletic development. Most new memberships include a 30-day free trial or money-back guarantee, giving you time to assess whether the service delivers value before committed charges begin.
Why cancellation matters in india
Chalk Performance charges your card automatically every month unless you explicitly cancel. If you stop using the app or find it unsuitable, your subscription continues billing you indefinitely. Because the service charges in USD, your Indian bank may apply foreign currency conversion fees on top of the subscription cost, increasing your actual outlay. Cancelling promptly and obtaining written confirmation protects both your bank balance and your legal position. Yafee recommends always requesting cancellation confirmation via email so you hold documented proof of your action date.
Your consumer rights under indian law
India's consumer protection framework provides you with substantial legal safeguards when dealing with digital fitness subscriptions and recurring charges.
The consumer protection act, 2019 and digital services
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (the principal consumer law in India) protects your interests when you purchase digital services such as fitness apps and training platforms. Under this Act, Chalk Performance must deliver the service as described, charge only authorised amounts, provide clear cancellation pathways, and honour refunds where statutory or advertised guarantees apply. If the company fails on any of these obligations-such as continuing to charge you after you have submitted a cancellation request, or hiding the cancellation function in the app-you have grounds for formal complaint and compensation.
The Act specifies that digital goods and services purchased online are subject to a cooling-off period. Although the statutory cooling-off period for online purchases is generally 14 days, Chalk Performance advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee, which exceeds this minimum. Consequently, if you cancel within 30 days of initial sign-up, you are entitled to a full refund as a matter of contract law. You do not need to provide a reason or justify your cancellation within this window.
Your legal position
You hold the right to cancel Chalk Performance at any time after the 30-day trial period, provided you give written notice of cancellation. The company must process your refund within 30 days of receiving your cancellation request if you fall within the cooling-off period. If Chalk Performance charges you after you have cancelled, or refuses to refund amounts charged during the trial period, you can escalate your complaint to your state's consumer dispute redressal commission or the National Consumer Helpline. Yafee advises keeping all payment receipts, app screenshots, and email correspondence as evidence for any future dispute.
What to do if Chalk Performance refuses your cancellation or refund
First, compile detailed records of every payment, every cancellation attempt, every screenshot of the app or website, and every email you send to the company. Store these documents in a folder you can access easily. If Chalk Performance denies your refund claim or asserts you are ineligible, document that denial in writing and request written explanation of their reasoning. Next, file a formal complaint with the consumer dispute redressal commission in your district. You can also escalate to the National Consumer Helpline (toll-free: 1800-11-4000) if you believe Chalk Performance is engaging in unfair trade practices or deceptive billing. Yafee has observed that most fitness platforms reverse charges within 7 days once formal complaints are lodged, because the cost of defending a consumer case exceeds the subscription value.
This method offers the most direct control and generates the clearest documentary evidence of your cancellation request.
Step 1: log in to your Chalk Performance account
Open your web browser and navigate to the Chalk Performance website. Enter your email address and password in the login fields. If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot Password" link and follow the reset instructions sent to your email. Ensure you are logged into the correct account if you have more than one membership.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings
Once logged in, locate the account menu. This is typically represented by a user icon or "Settings" link in the top-right corner of the page. Click this icon to open the account dropdown menu. Select "Account Settings" or "Billing" from the menu options.
Step 3: find the subscription management section
Within account settings, look for a section labelled "Subscription", "Membership", "Billing", or "Plans". Click this section to view your active subscription details, including your billing date, renewal amount, and payment method on file.
Step 4: locate and click the cancel option
Within the subscription management section, you will see a button or link labelled "Cancel Subscription", "Cancel Membership", or "Manage Plan". Click this button. You may be presented with a retention offer (a discount or extended free trial designed to persuade you to remain a member). You are not obliged to accept any offer; your cancellation request stands regardless.
Step 5: confirm your cancellation and request written confirmation
The platform will ask you to confirm your cancellation decision. You may be prompted to select a reason (such as "too expensive", "not using it", or "found alternative service"). Select the reason that applies to you and click "Confirm Cancellation". The website will then display a confirmation message. Immediately take a screenshot of this confirmation page. Next, request written cancellation confirmation by email. Send an email to Chalk Performance's customer support address with the subject line "Cancellation Confirmation Request for Account [Your Email Address]". In the email body, state the date and time you submitted your cancellation request, your membership ID, and ask Chalk Performance to confirm the cancellation date and any refund entitlements by return email. Store this email and any response in a folder for future reference.
How to cancel through the apple app store
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple rather than through the Chalk Performance app itself.
Step 1: open the app store on your iPhone or iPad
Tap the App Store icon on your home screen. At the bottom of the screen, tap "Account" (represented by a profile icon).
Step 2: access your subscription settings
Tap "Subscriptions". You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID. Locate "Chalk Performance" in this list and tap it.
Step 3: cancel the subscription
Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription". A confirmation screen will appear asking you to confirm cancellation. Tap "Confirm" to complete the cancellation. Apple will display a cancellation confirmation and may offer a retention incentive. The subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle, after which no further charges will be applied. Take a screenshot of the confirmation for your records.
Step 4: request written confirmation from apple
Visit your Apple ID account settings online at appleid.apple.com. Log in and navigate to "Manage Your Apple ID". Select "Subscriptions" and confirm that Chalk Performance is no longer listed as active. You can also contact Apple Support via their website to request a written record of your cancellation for your files.
How to cancel through the google play store
If you subscribed via Google Play, you must cancel through Google rather than within the Chalk Performance app.
Step 1: open the google play store on your android device
Tap the Google Play Store app icon on your home screen. Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
Step 2: access your subscription list
Tap "Manage Subscriptions" or "Payments and Subscriptions". Select "Subscriptions" from the menu. You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Google account. Locate "Chalk Performance" and tap it.
Step 3: cancel the subscription
Tap "Cancel Subscription". Google will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may present retention offers. Confirm that you wish to cancel. Google will display a cancellation confirmation page. Take a screenshot of this confirmation immediately. The subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle, then will automatically cease.
Step 4: request written confirmation from google
Log in to your Google Play account via playstore.google.com. Navigate to your account settings and select "Subscriptions". Verify that Chalk Performance is no longer listed as active. You can also contact Google Play Support via their help centre to request written cancellation confirmation for your records.
Refund timelines and what to expect after cancellation
Once you submit a cancellation request, Chalk Performance processes refunds according to the Consumer Protection Act and your subscription terms.
Refund eligibility within the 30-day trial period
If you cancel within 30 days of initial sign-up (the cooling-off period advertised by Chalk Performance), you are entitled to a full refund of any charges incurred during that period. Chalk Performance should process this refund within 7 to 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. The refund will be credited back to your original payment method. If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, the refund is processed by Apple or Google respectively, which may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to appear in your account.
Refund eligibility after the trial period
After the 30-day trial period ends, your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You will not be charged for any further months. However, you are not entitled to a pro-rata refund of the current month's charge unless Chalk Performance has breached its service obligations (for example, by failing to provide access to the app or training content). If the company has failed to deliver the service as advertised, you can demand a pro-rata refund under the Consumer Protection Act by filing a formal complaint with your district consumer commission.
What happens to your data after cancellation
After you cancel, your access to the Chalk Performance app and member portal will terminate at the end of your billing cycle. The company will retain your training history and performance data. If you wish to delete your personal data entirely, you can submit a data deletion request under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Send a written request to Chalk Performance's support address asking them to delete all personal information associated with your account within 30 days. Store confirmation of this request in your records.
Many consumers take unnecessary steps or lose documentation that could strengthen their position in disputes. The good news is that these mistakes are entirely preventable.
Mistake 1: cancelling only within the app without accessing account settings
Deleting the Chalk Performance app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The subscription remains active on Chalk Performance's servers, and charges continue indefinitely. You must explicitly cancel through the website account settings, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store. Deletion of the app is not a cancellation action in law and provides no evidence of your intent to cancel.
Mistake 2: failing to request written confirmation
If Chalk Performance later claims you never cancelled, or charges you after you believed cancellation was complete, you will struggle to prove your cancellation date without written evidence. Always request written confirmation by email and save the company's response. Yafee strongly advises taking screenshots of every confirmation page you encounter during the cancellation process.
Mistake 3: not tracking refund timelines
Note the exact date you submitted your cancellation request and the date you should expect your refund (typically 7 to 14 days later). If your refund does not appear within this window, contact your bank immediately to report the delayed refund and escalate to the consumer commission if necessary. Many consumers assume the refund is lost and accept the charge rather than following up.
Mistake 4: ignoring currency conversion issues
Because Chalk Performance charges in USD, your Indian bank applies an exchange rate and conversion fee to each charge. When you receive your refund, the exchange rate may have moved, and you may not recover the exact rupee amount you were charged. Request that Chalk Performance refund you in Indian rupees at the original exchange rate if possible, or lodge a complaint with your bank's customer service if the conversion is unreasonable.
Mistake 5: accepting verbal cancellation promises
If a Chalk Performance representative promises to cancel your membership in a phone call or live chat, ask them to send written confirmation to your email address immediately after the call. Verbal promises are difficult to prove and carry no legal weight. Only written, documented cancellation requests protect your interests under Indian consumer law.

When to escalate to consumer authorities in india
If Chalk Performance refuses to honour your cancellation or refund claim, you hold the right to escalate your complaint to formal consumer protection bodies.
Step 1: contact customer support in writing
Send a written email to Chalk Performance's official support address stating your cancellation date, membership ID, reason for cancellation, and the refund amount you are owed. Use clear, factual language and request written confirmation of their response within 7 days. If the company does not respond or refuses your refund without legal justification, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: lodge a complaint with your state consumer commission
Visit your state's consumer dispute redressal commission website. Download the complaint form and complete it with details of your membership, cancellation date, refund amount, and Chalk Performance's refusal to refund. Attach copies of your payment receipts, cancellation screenshots, and email correspondence. Submit the form to your district consumer commission along with the statutory filing fee (typically ₹100-500). Yafee advises keeping a copy of your submitted complaint for your records.
Step 3: escalate to the national consumer helpline if necessary
If your state commission does not resolve the matter within 60 days, or if you wish to lodge a complaint directly with the national authority, contact the National Consumer Helpline at 1800-11-4000 (toll-free, available Monday to Friday, 09:30 to 17:30 IST). The helpline can guide you through filing a national-level complaint and may facilitate resolution with Chalk Performance on your behalf. Yafee has observed that most fitness platforms settle disputes within 14 days of formal national-level complaints being filed.
Use this checklist to ensure you take every necessary step and retain all required documentation.
- Before cancellation: Gather your membership ID, email address, and payment method details; review your current billing date and refund entitlements.
- During cancellation: Log in to your account or app store; navigate to subscription settings; click the cancel button; take screenshots of every confirmation page.
- Immediately after: Request written cancellation confirmation via email; save all responses in a dedicated folder; note the date and time of your cancellation request.
- Within 7 days: Check your bank statement for any charges dated after your cancellation request (these would indicate a failed cancellation); contact your bank immediately if unexpected charges appear.
- Within 14 days: Verify that your refund has been credited to your original payment method; if no refund appears, contact Chalk Performance support with a copy of your cancellation confirmation.
- If refund is delayed: Send a formal follow-up email to Chalk Performance; if no response within 7 days, file a complaint with your district consumer commission.
- Document retention: Keep all emails, screenshots, payment receipts, and complaint confirmations for a minimum of 2 years.
