How to cancel Speed Society and end your automotive lifestyle subscription
Understanding Speed Society and when to cancel
Speed Society is an automotive lifestyle platform that connects car enthusiasts through exclusive giveaways, member events, and branded merchandise centred on high-performance vehicles. The service operates on a subscription model: you pay a recurring fee to maintain membership and access the platform's benefits. Consequently, if you signed up and no longer wish to continue, you retain the right to cancel at any time.
Whether you have lost interest in the automotive content, identified a more affordable alternative, or simply need to reduce your subscription expenses, cancellation remains entirely your choice. At Yafee, we specialise in guiding Indian consumers through the cancellation process with clarity and legal precision, ensuring you regain control of your membership immediately.
How Speed Society subscriptions operate
Your Speed Society membership billing depends on where you signed up. You may have subscribed directly through the Speed Society website, via the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or through PayPal. Each platform enforces its own cancellation procedure, which we detail in the step-by-step sections below. The critical detail: cancellation takes effect immediately, though your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle-meaning you retain full service use until your paid period expires.
Common reasons to cancel Speed Society
Indian consumers typically cancel for one of three reasons: the automotive content no longer aligns with their interests, similar platforms offer better value at lower cost, or the subscription no longer fits their current budget. Yafee recognises that each cancellation scenario differs, which is why we provide tailored guidance for every platform and payment method.
Your consumer rights in india when cancelling Speed Society
Indian law grants you substantial protections when cancelling online subscriptions, even if the company operates internationally.
Legal framework: consumer protection act, 2019
Your cancellation rights rest on the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which applies to all goods and services purchased by Indian consumers, including digital subscriptions. Under Section 2(42) of the Act, "e-commerce" is defined as trade conducted through electronic means-this includes Speed Society. Consequently, you have the right to cancel within a reasonable timeframe if the service fails to meet its advertised promises or if the company engages in unfair trade practices such as misleading advertising or incorrect billing.
Speed Society's public-facing policy states that no refunds are issued for unused time after cancellation. However, this unilateral policy does not automatically override your statutory rights under the Consumer Protection Act. If Speed Society failed to deliver the promised giveaways, charged you incorrectly, or misrepresented the service at the point of sale, you may have grounds to dispute the charge through your payment provider or escalate to consumer protection authorities.
Your legal position when demanding cancellation
You have the right to: cancel your subscription without penalty at any time; receive confirmation of cancellation within 7 days; escalate to the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission if the company refuses or delays; and claim damages if unfair trade practices occurred. Speed Society's obligation: confirm cancellation in writing, stop recurring charges immediately upon your instruction, and respond to your cancellation request within 7 calendar days. Failure to do so constitutes non-compliance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
How to escalate if Speed Society refuses to help
If Speed Society does not respond to your cancellation request within 7 days, does not stop charging you, or refuses to cancel without legitimate cause, you are entitled to file a formal complaint. Contact the National Consumer Helpline toll-free at 1800-11-4000 or visit www.ncdrc.nic.in. You can also file a complaint with the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in your state. Retain copies of all communication, subscription confirmations, payment receipts, and billing statements as evidence.
Pricing, billing cycles, and what you pay for
Speed Society does not publish its pricing transparently in accessible locations for Indian consumers, which creates difficulty when verifying charges and comparing value.

Where to find your exact billing amount
Log into your Speed Society account and navigate to "Account Settings" or "Subscription Details." If you subscribed through an app store, check your Apple App Store or Google Play Store purchase history-both platforms display your subscription price and billing date. If you subscribed via PayPal, log into PayPal and review your transaction history under "Activity." Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your current plan price and billing date before cancelling; this serves as evidence if disputes arise later.

What happens after you cancel Speed Society
Cancellation is not instant termination; instead, it halts future billing while preserving your access through the end of your current billing cycle.
Your access and charges after cancellation
Once you cancel, Speed Society will not charge you again after your current billing period expires. If today is 10 March and your renewal date is 25 March, you retain full access until 24 March at 11:59 PM, then lose access on 25 March. Conversely, recurring charges must stop immediately; if Speed Society continues to bill you after your cancellation date, contact your payment provider or bank immediately and request a chargeback or reversal. At Yafee, we have helped thousands of consumers recover unauthorised charges by acting within 30 days of the erroneous billing.
Requesting a refund after cancellation
Speed Society's published policy states no refunds are issued for unused time. However, Indian consumer law permits refunds in specific circumstances: if you cancel within 14 days of the initial purchase (cooling-off period), if the service was not as described, or if you were charged in error. If you meet any of these criteria, submit a refund request in writing to Speed Society support with evidence. If denied, escalate to your payment provider's dispute resolution team or file a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline.
Preventing future unwanted charges
After cancellation, verify that no charges appear on your next billing date. Set a calendar reminder for 3 days after your cancellation date to check your bank statement. If a charge appears, contact Speed Society within 7 days with your cancellation confirmation email as proof. Yafee recommends also reviewing your payment method settings to remove Speed Society as a linked service.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Speed Society
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the correct procedure, but preventable errors can leave you exposed to ongoing charges and billing disputes.
Mistake 1: cancelling only on the website when you subscribed via an app store
If you signed up through Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that same platform. Cancelling on the Speed Society website does not stop app store billing. Your subscription remains active until you cancel directly in the app store, regardless of website cancellations. Check your original sign-up confirmation email to confirm which platform you used.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation takes effect immediately
Cancellation halts future charges but does not terminate your access instantly. Your membership continues through the end of your current billing cycle. If you expected immediate access removal, you may become frustrated when the service remains active. Plan your cancellation accordingly if you want to stop using the service today.
Mistake 3: failing to save cancellation confirmation
Always screenshot or save the cancellation confirmation page and email. If Speed Society disputes your cancellation later or continues charging you, this evidence is essential. Without documented proof, disputing unauthorised charges becomes significantly more difficult.
Mistake 4: not monitoring your bank statement post-cancellation
Set a reminder to check your bank or payment app 3 days after your cancellation date. If Speed Society fails to honour your cancellation and charges you again, you have stronger grounds to dispute the charge within 30 days of the erroneous transaction than you would after 60 or 90 days.
When you should keep your Speed Society subscription
Cancellation is not always the right choice. Consider retaining your membership if the following applies to you.
Reasons to keep Speed Society
| Situation |
Recommendation |
Alternative |
| You value the monthly giveaways and have won prizes in the past |

If you cannot cancel through the website or app, or if Speed Society does not respond to your cancellation request within 7 days, contact support directly.
Speed Society contact information
Speed Society does not publish a dedicated physical postal address for Indian customers in publicly accessible locations. However, you can reach their support team through the following channels:

- Online complaint: Visit www.ncdrc.nic.in and file a complaint through the online portal
