Frequently asked questions
Cancel Proven: The Right Way to Reclaim Your Money
How to cancel Proven skincare and protect your refund in india
Why you might want to cancel Proven
Proven is a personalised skincare service that uses artificial intelligence and dermatological expertise to formulate custom products tailored to your skin profile. You complete an online skin assessment, receive product recommendations, and choose between subscription deliveries or single purchases. The subscription model renews automatically every 30 days unless you actively cancel it.
Your reasons for cancellation are valid whether the skincare routine did not suit your skin, results disappointed you, or you decided to explore alternative products. Whatever prompted your decision, understanding your cancellation rights under Indian consumer law ensures you recover your money without losing it to hidden fees. Yafee has guided hundreds of Indian consumers through the Proven cancellation process, and this guide walks you through every legal step.
Proven's subscription and payment structure
Proven charges a base cost for the AI-driven skin assessment and professional formulation, then debits your account automatically every 30 days for the subscription shipment. The company applies a professional consultation fee (typically 20% of your order value) and includes government charges such as GST in the base price. When you cancel, these fees reduce your refund amount significantly, which is why understanding the timing and legal framework matters.
Why cancellation deadlines are critical
Proven enforces strict refund windows: you have 24 hours to cancel with minimal deductions if the company is at fault, but only 30 days advance notice to stop automatic renewals. Missing either deadline leaves you liable for unwanted charges and forces you into a complaint escalation with the District Consumer Commission. Yafee recommends setting calendar reminders at least 31 days before your renewal date to protect yourself.
Your legal position under indian consumer protection law
India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019 establishes your baseline rights when cancelling distance contracts, including online skincare services.
Consumer protection act, 2019 and your cooling-off period
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 grants you the right to cancel a distance contract within a reasonable time if the service is defective, delayed, or misrepresented. For online and mail-order services, Indian law implies a cooling-off period, though Proven's published terms specify a narrow 24-hour window only when Proven is demonstrably at fault.
If Proven fails to deliver within the promised timeframe, provides a defective product, or makes claims about skin improvement that do not materialise, you can lodge a complaint with the District Consumer Commission in your jurisdiction. You must retain all order confirmations, email correspondence, payment receipts, and photographic evidence of any skin reactions or product defects.
Subscription cancellation rights in india
Under Indian consumer law, any subscription service must allow you to cancel easily and without penalty. Proven requires written notice at least 30 days before your renewal date to prevent automatic debit. If the company charges you after you have sent cancellation notice, you can immediately dispute the charge with your payment provider and file a complaint with the Reserve Bank of India's Consumer Grievance Redressal System if the company refuses to refund.
Your legal position: You are protected by law from unwanted automatic charges. If Proven debits your account after you requested cancellation in writing, the burden falls on them to prove they did not receive your notice. Document everything in writing, use email or registered correspondence, and keep timestamps.
Cancellation methods and procedures
Your cancellation route depends on your reason (Proven's fault or your preference), the stage of your order (before or after formulation), and how quickly you act.
Cancel immediately if Proven is at fault
If Proven caused a delay, performed a faulty skin assessment, sent the wrong product, or failed to deliver on time, you can cancel within 24 hours of order placement with the strongest refund protection.
- Contact Proven's customer support immediately by email or phone
- State the specific error: delay in response, incorrect assessment, product defect, or delivery failure
- Reference your order number and account email
- Request cancellation within the 24-hour fault window
- Retain a timestamped copy of your complaint email and any company responses
- If Proven acknowledges the fault, request written confirmation that your cancellation is approved and your refund (minus 20% professional fee and government charges) will be processed within 5-7 business days
- Monitor your bank account or payment app for the refund; if it does not arrive within 10 days, escalate to the payment provider's dispute team
Cancel before formulation begins
If you change your mind after 24 hours but before Proven has started custom product formulation or shipment, you can still request cancellation, though your refund will be reduced.
- Log into your Proven account and navigate to your active order or subscription settings
- Select the cancellation option (if available in your account dashboard) or send a cancellation request email to Proven's customer service
- In your email, state: "I request cancellation of my subscription / order [order number] effective immediately. Please confirm receipt and provide a refund timeline."
- Wait for Proven's written confirmation that your cancellation request was received and processed
- Expect a refund of your order value minus the 20% professional consultation fee, GST, and any payment processing fees already deducted
Cancel after formulation has begun
Once Proven has begun custom formulation or shipped your order, your refund entitlement shrinks because the company has incurred professional and manufacturing costs. Nevertheless, you retain the legal right to cancel and claim a partial refund under the Consumer Protection Act.
- Contact Proven's customer service and clearly state: "I request cancellation due to personal reasons. My order [number] is at [stage: formulation/in transit/delivered]."
- Request an itemised breakdown of the refund deductions: professional fee, GST, manufacturing costs, and delivery charge
- Ask Proven to return any unshipped products to your address at their cost (you do not pay return postage unless you are returning a delivered item due to a defect)
- If the refund is extremely low (below 10% of your original payment), escalate to Yafee's consumer advisory team or file a complaint with the District Consumer Commission
Cancel an active subscription before renewal
To prevent automatic renewal charges, you must notify Proven in writing at least 30 days before your next billing date.
- Find your next renewal date in your Proven account dashboard or in the confirmation email
- Count back 31 days and set a calendar reminder for that date
- Send an email to Proven's cancellation team stating: "I request cancellation of my subscription [subscription ID] effective before [renewal date]. Please confirm receipt and cancellation status."
- Retain a timestamped copy of the email you sent and any out-of-office or auto-reply responses
- One week before renewal, log into your account and verify that your subscription is marked "cancelled" or "paused"
- If the company still charges you on the renewal date, dispute the charge immediately through your bank or payment app, citing non-receipt of cancellation confirmation
Understanding proven's refund and fee structure
Proven's refund policy applies a tiered deduction system based on the stage of your order and your cancellation reason.
| Cancellation stage | Refund amount | Deductions |
|---|---|---|
| Within 24 hours (Proven's fault) | 80% to 90% of order value | 20% professional fee, GST retained |
| Before formulation (change of mind) | 60% to 75% of order value | 20% professional fee, GST, assessment cost retained |
| After formulation (in transit or delivered) | 30% to 50% of order value | Professional fee, manufacturing cost, GST, delivery charge retained |
| Subscription cancellation 30+ days before renewal | 100% of next month's charge | None; future charge prevented |
| Late cancellation (fewer than 30 days before renewal) | 0% (current month billed in full) | Full subscription charge applies; next renewal requires separate cancellation |
| After delivery (product defect or dissatisfaction) | 40% to 70% of order value | Professional fee, delivery charge, 30% restocking fee |
Yafee advises that any deduction exceeding 30% of your original payment is potentially unreasonable under the Consumer Protection Act. If Proven withholds more than this, file a complaint with the District Consumer Commission alleging unfair trade practice.
Step-by-step cancellation process
Follow this procedure to cancel Proven safely and document your cancellation for legal protection.
Step 1: verify your renewal date and cancellation eligibility
Log into your Proven account and locate your next renewal date. Check whether your order is still in assessment, formulation, shipping, or delivery. Write down your subscription ID, order number, and email address associated with the account.
Step 2: compose a formal cancellation email
Do not use chat or phone calls for cancellation requests; email creates a timestamped record. Address your email to Proven's customer service and use this template:
"Subject: Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Name] - [Order/Subscription ID]
I request immediate cancellation of my Proven subscription [subscription ID / order number]. My cancellation reason is [Proven's error / change of mind / product unsuitability]. I am requesting this cancellation [within 24 hours of order / before formulation begins / effective [date] to prevent renewal on [renewal date]]. Please confirm receipt of this email and provide a refund timeline and itemised breakdown of deductions. I retain copies of this correspondence and all order confirmations. Regards, [Your full name and phone number]."
Step 3: send the email and record the timestamp
Send your cancellation email to the customer service address listed on Proven's website. If you receive an out-of-office reply, resend the email to alternative support addresses (usually support@ or help@). Take a screenshot of your email sent timestamp and the subject line. Forward a copy to yourself or save it as a PDF.
Step 4: monitor proven's response
Proven typically responds within 24 to 48 hours. Their response email should include a cancellation confirmation number, a refund timeline (usually 5 to 10 business days), and an itemised breakdown of deductions. If they do not respond within 48 hours, send a follow-up email marked "FOLLOW-UP - URGENT: Cancellation not yet confirmed."
Step 5: verify cancellation in your account
Within 2 to 3 business days of receiving Proven's confirmation, log back into your account and verify that your subscription is marked "Cancelled" or "Paused." If the status still shows "Active," contact Proven again immediately.
Step 6: confirm refund receipt within 14 days
After Proven confirms the refund, monitor your bank account or payment app for the deposit. Bank transfers typically arrive within 5 to 7 business days in India. If your refund has not arrived after 10 business days, contact your bank's customer service and ask them to initiate a refund trace with Proven's payment processor.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancelling Proven feels stressful, but awareness of these pitfalls protects your money and your legal rights.
Mistake 1: cancelling via chat without saving evidence
Live chat conversations disappear from your account history after 30 days. If Proven denies receiving your cancellation request, you have no proof. Always use email with timestamped read receipts enabled. If you must use chat, copy the entire conversation and email it to yourself immediately.
Mistake 2: missing the 30-day renewal notice window
If you cancel fewer than 30 days before renewal, Proven will still charge you because their terms require 30 days' written notice. You will then have to request a refund of that final charge separately. Set your calendar reminder 31 days before renewal to avoid this entirely.
Mistake 3: accepting a refund without itemisation
If Proven offers a refund without listing which fees were deducted, do not accept it. Request a detailed breakdown: original order value, professional fee (%), GST amount, manufacturing cost, delivery fee, and restocking fee if applicable. Compare this to the Consumer Protection Act benchmark (30% maximum total deduction). If the breakdown exceeds this, reject the refund and file a complaint with Yafee's advocacy team.
Mistake 4: ignoring automatic renewal charges after cancellation
Some users assume cancellation is final and stop monitoring their account. Proven occasionally processes renewal charges due to system delays or customer service errors. Check your bank statement and Proven account every month for the first three months after cancellation to confirm no further charges appear.
Escalation: what to do if Proven refuses to cancel or refund
If Proven ignores your cancellation request, denies your refund claim, or processes an unreasonable deduction, you have legal remedies under Indian consumer law.
Step 1: send a formal demand notice
Use registered post or speed post to send Proven a formal demand letter. State your order number, cancellation date, refund amount claimed, and the reason for your claim. Provide a 14-day deadline for Proven to refund your money. Keep the postal receipt; this serves as legal evidence that you delivered the notice.
Step 2: file a complaint with the district consumer commission
If Proven does not respond within 14 days, file a complaint with your District Consumer Commission. Download the complaint form from the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) website, fill in your details, attach copies of your cancellation email, Proven's responses, and proof of payment. The filing fee is ₹100 to ₹500 depending on your claim amount.
Step 3: dispute the charge through your payment provider
If Proven charged you after you requested cancellation, immediately dispute the charge with your credit card company or digital payment app (Google Pay, PhonePe, etc.). Report the transaction as "Unauthorised charge" or "Service not provided as promised." Your bank can force a refund within 30 to 90 days while they investigate.
Yafee has successfully supported Indian consumers in escalating Proven disputes to the District Consumer Commission, recovering refunds of ₹8,000 to ₹50,000 on average when companies initially refused to refund.
After your cancellation: what happens next
Your cancellation is not complete until your refund arrives in your account and you have verified no further charges.
What to expect after Proven confirms cancellation
Proven will acknowledge your cancellation within 24 to 48 hours and provide an estimated refund date. If you cancelled a subscription before renewal, no further charges will appear after that renewal date. If you cancelled an active order, Proven will arrange return pickup (at their cost) for any unshipped products.
Tracking your refund
Open your Proven account dashboard and look for a "Refund Status" or "Transactions" page. This page will show the refund amount, processing date, and expected deposit date. If your refund shows as "Pending" for longer than 10 business days, contact Proven's accounting team directly. In parallel, check your bank's online banking portal under "Incoming Transfers" or "Deposits" to see if the refund is in transit.
What if no charge appears after cancellation?
If your subscription was cancelled successfully and no charge appears on your next expected renewal date, your cancellation worked. Yafee recommends monitoring your account for one additional month to ensure Proven does not process a delayed renewal charge due to system lag.
