How to cancel Causebox and protect your money in india
What you need to know about Causebox and alltrue
Causebox was a subscription box service that delivered ethically sourced and sustainably made products to your door every quarter. The company focused on beauty, wellness, home and lifestyle items, with a mission to support social causes and independent makers. In 2026, Causebox rebranded to Alltrue, expanding its membership model to offer optional boxes rather than mandatory quarterly shipments.
However, the company faced significant operational challenges between 2022 and 2023. Many subscribers reported delayed shipments, unresponsive customer service and unclear cancellation policies. If you want to stop your Causebox or Alltrue subscription, or you're concerned about pending charges, this guide walks you through every step and explains your rights under Indian consumer law.
At Yafee, we understand that subscription services sometimes stop serving you well. Causebox presents unique challenges because the company's customer service can be slow to respond to cancellation requests. This guide uses verified sources and real customer experiences to show you exactly how to cancel, what to expect, and how to recover refunds if you're entitled to them.
The Causebox and alltrue timeline
Causebox operated as an independent subscription box company from its founding until 2023. The service was known for curating boxes that aligned with ethical and sustainable values. When the company rebranded to Alltrue, it shifted toward a membership-based model with optional boxes rather than mandatory quarterly shipments.
Between 2022 and 2023, the company experienced significant financial stress. This led to delayed fulfillment, communication breakdowns and customer complaints escalating across social media and review platforms. Many subscribers were charged for boxes they never received, or received them months late. This context matters because it directly affects your cancellation options and refund eligibility.
Why this matters for indian subscribers
If you paid in Indian Rupees (INR) via credit card, debit card or digital wallet, your consumer rights are protected under India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019. You have the right to cancel services, receive refunds for undelivered goods and dispute unauthorized charges. At Yafee, we help you understand these rights and use them to recover your money if needed.
Why you might want to cancel Causebox
Understanding your situation helps you choose the fastest cancellation path and strengthens your case if you need a refund.
Common reasons to cancel
- Delayed or missing boxes: You paid for products that never arrived or arrived months late.
- Poor product quality: The items in your boxes didn't match the sustainability standards promised.
- Unresponsive customer service: Your emails to support went unanswered for weeks or months.
- Unwanted recurring charges: Your account renewed without clear notice or your cancellation request wasn't honored.
- Life changes: Your budget, interests or circumstances have shifted and the subscription no longer fits.
- Better alternatives: You found another service that delivers faster or offers better value.
When cancelling is urgent
Act immediately if you notice unauthorized charges, if your next billing date is within 7 days, or if the company has failed to deliver goods you paid for more than 30 days ago. Document everything before you cancel: screenshots of your account, email confirmations, payment receipts and any correspondence with support. This paper trail protects you if you need to dispute charges later.

How to cancel Causebox if the website doesn't work
If the website cancellation option is unavailable or you encounter technical errors, contact customer support directly.
Contact Causebox or alltrue support
- Visit the company's contact page and look for "Customer Service," "Support" or "Contact Us."

Escalation if support doesn't respond
- If the company fails to respond to your cancellation request within 5 business days, file a formal complaint with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) via their Grievance Redressal System or the Banking Ombudsman.
- Send a registered letter to Alltrue Marketing India Private Limited's registered office with proof of your cancellation request and the company's failure to respond.
- Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission if the company refuses to cancel or process your refund.
Understanding your consumer rights and legal position
Your rights as an Indian consumer are enforceable by law.
Your legal position under indian consumer law
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 gives you the following rights when cancelling a subscription service:
- Right to cancel: You can cancel any subscription service at any time. The company cannot force you to continue payments.
- Right to a refund: If the company failed to deliver goods or services as promised, you're entitled to a refund of charges for those items. This applies even if you cancelled late.
- Right to dispute unauthorized charges: If your account was charged after you cancelled, or if charges were applied without your explicit consent, you can dispute them with your bank and claim a chargeback.
- Right to information: The company must clearly disclose billing dates, cancellation terms and refund policies before you subscribe. If these weren't clearly stated, the company is in breach of the Consumer Protection Act.
- Right to compensation: If the company caused you financial loss through delayed delivery, misleading claims or unresponsive service, you can claim compensation at the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
How to use your rights if the company refuses to cancel
- Send a formal written notice to the company citing the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. State: "I am exercising my right to cancel my subscription under Section 2(1)(g) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. I request immediate cancellation and confirmation within 5 days."
- Send this notice via registered post to the company's registered address or via email with read receipt enabled.
- If the company doesn't respond within 5 business days, file a complaint with your state's Consumer Protection Authority or the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
- If you've paid by credit or debit card, file a chargeback dispute with your bank. Provide your cancellation email, screenshots of your account and proof that the company charged you after cancellation.
After your cancellation: what happens next
Knowing what to expect after you click "cancel" removes confusion and helps you monitor for unauthorized charges.
Immediate actions after cancellation
- Check your account: Log into your account 24 hours after cancellation to confirm the subscription status now shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
- Verify no charges occur: Check your bank or credit card statements daily for 7 days after cancellation to ensure no charges post.
- Monitor for refund: If you're entitled to a refund (e.g., for undelivered boxes), the company will typically process it within 7-14 business days. Refunds to credit cards take 5-10 business days; refunds to bank accounts take 7-15 business days.
- Save all confirmations: Keep the cancellation email, account screenshots and bank statements together in a folder for 6 months. You may need them as evidence.
What if unauthorized charges appear after cancellation
- Contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately. Inform them you cancelled your subscription and the company charged you after the cancellation date.
- Request a chargeback dispute. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and statement showing the unauthorized charge.
- Simultaneously, email the company a formal notice: "A charge of ₹[amount] posted to my account on [date], which is [X days] after I cancelled my subscription on [cancellation date]. This is an unauthorized charge. I request a full refund within 5 days or I will escalate this to my bank's chargeback department and file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Authority."
- Most chargebacks succeed if you have written proof of cancellation. Your bank will investigate and typically rule in your favour within 30-45 days.

Common mistakes when cancelling Causebox
You're not alone if cancellation feels complicated; the company's systems are intentionally designed that way.
Mistake 1: assuming deletion means cancellation
Deleting the Causebox app or forgetting your password does not cancel your subscription. The company continues charging your account. Always use the official cancellation option in account settings or contact support directly.
Mistake 2: cancelling without saving confirmation
The website may not send a confirmation email for 24 hours. If you don't screenshot the cancellation page or save your confirmation number, you have no proof you cancelled. Save everything immediately.
Mistake 3: cancelling just before your billing date
If your billing date is in the next 24 hours, the company may still charge you because the payment processes automatically. Cancel at least 48 hours before your billing date. If you're charged after cancellation, dispute it immediately.
Mistake 4: not checking your bank statements after cancellation
Causebox has been known to continue charging accounts even after cancellation requests. Check your bank or credit card statement daily for 14 days after cancellation. If unauthorised charges appear, dispute them with your bank immediately.
Mistake 5: accepting a retention offer without reading the terms
The company may offer you a discount or free month to keep your subscription. Declining these offers in writing protects you later. If you accept one and still want to cancel, you must cancel again after the offer period ends.
Mistake 6: not requesting a refund separately from cancellation
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund for undelivered or damaged items. You must request refunds separately in writing, citing the specific order and the reason you deserve the refund under the Consumer Protection Act.
