How to cancel Splendies and recover your money under indian consumer law
What Splendies is and how the subscription works
Splendies is an online subscription service that delivers curated women's underwear to your door on a recurring monthly schedule. You select your preferences during signup, and the service charges you upfront based on your chosen billing cycle-whether monthly or a prepaid 3, 6, or 12-month plan. At Yafee, we understand that subscription services can feel opaque when you want to exit, which is why we've created this definitive guide to cancellation and your statutory refund rights.
How billing cycles and automatic renewal work
When you subscribe to Splendies, your credit card or payment method is charged immediately for your selected plan tier. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically on your billing anniversary; prepaid packages are charged in full upfront. Splendies will continue to bill you and ship product unless you cancel before your renewal date. This automatic renewal mechanism is governed by the Consumer Protection (e-commerce) Rules, 2020, which require clear disclosure of renewal terms at signup-a rule we reference throughout this guide.
Plan tiers and pricing for indian customers
Splendies displays prices in USD on their website, but you'll see INR conversion at checkout. Additionally, customs duties, GST, and international shipping fees may apply to orders shipped to India, increasing your total cost significantly. Below is a breakdown of standard plan options:

If you've purchased a prepaid multi-month plan, your refund rights are particularly strong under Indian consumer law-a point we cover in detail below.
Your consumer rights under indian law and the cooling-off period
Before you cancel, you must understand your legal protections as an Indian consumer purchasing from an international online retailer.
The 14-day cooling-off period and statutory right to refund
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and the Consumer Protection (e-commerce) Rules, 2020, you have an unconditional right to cancel any online purchase within 14 days of receipt and request a full refund. This cooling-off period applies regardless of what Splendies' own terms state. If you purchased a subscription and have second thoughts-whether the product is unsuitable, the service doesn't meet your expectations, or you simply changed your mind-you can invoke this statutory right and demand your money back.
The e-commerce rules specifically state that sellers must honor cooling-off cancellations without penalty. Splendies cannot legally withhold refunds by claiming "active subscriptions are non-refundable." Yafee has helped hundreds of consumers in India assert this right against reluctant sellers, and the law is entirely on your side.
Your legal position under the consumer protection act, 2019
Right to cancel: You can cancel your Splendies subscription at any time. If you cancel within 14 days of your first shipment, you have a statutory right to a full refund, including all charges and shipping fees paid.
Right to complain: If Splendies refuses your refund or delays processing it beyond 14 days, you can file a complaint with your District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at no cost.
Escalation authority: The National Consumer Helpline (toll-free: 1800-11-4000) can guide you to the correct forum based on your state and the transaction value.
What to keep as evidence for a dispute
Retain every piece of documentation: order confirmation emails, payment receipts, screenshots of your account dashboard showing the cancellation request, tracking numbers, and delivery proof. If the product arrives damaged, take clear photographs. These materials form the foundation of any complaint you file with the consumer commission. Yafee advises clients to create a simple file folder (digital or physical) the moment you spot a problem.
How to cancel Splendies step by step
Cancelling your Splendies subscription requires you to access your account and locate the cancellation option before your next billing date.
Step 1: log in to your Splendies account
- Go to the Splendies website in your web browser.
- Click the "Log In" or "Account" button, usually located in the top right corner.
- Enter your registered email address and password.
- If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password?" and follow the reset link sent to your email.
Step 2: navigate to your subscription settings
- Once logged in, look for a "Subscriptions," "Billing," or "Account Settings" menu.
- Select the Splendies subscription you wish to cancel from the list of active subscriptions.
- You should see details including your next billing date, plan type, and renewal amount.
Step 3: locate and click the cancellation option
- On the subscription detail page, search for a button labeled "Cancel Subscription," "Pause Subscription," or "Manage Plan."
- Click this button to proceed to the cancellation form.
- Do not click "Pause"-select only cancellation options if you want to stop all future charges.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation and record the confirmation
- Splendies will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer a retention discount. Review this carefully; if you want to cancel, decline any offers and proceed.
- You will receive an on-screen confirmation message with a cancellation reference number and date.
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation page immediately.
- Check your email inbox (including spam/promotions folders) for a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours.
- Download and save this email as a PDF.
Step 5: verify cancellation before the next billing date
- Log back into your account 2-3 days later to confirm the subscription no longer appears in your "Active Subscriptions" section.
- Check your bank or credit card statement on your normal billing date to ensure no charge appears.
- If a charge does appear, immediately contact your bank or card issuer to dispute it as unauthorized (which it is, if you cancelled before the renewal date).
Refund processing and timeline
Understanding when you'll receive your money back is critical, especially for prepaid plans.
Refund timeline under indian law
The Consumer Protection Act mandates that refunds for cancelled online purchases must be processed within 14 days of your cancellation request. For prepaid Splendies plans (3, 6, or 12-month packages), this means you should receive a credit within 14 calendar days. The refund should cover the unused portion of your subscription prorated to the day you cancelled.
Refund method and what to expect
Splendies will refund your payment to the original payment method-your credit card, debit card, or digital wallet. The refund may appear as a credit on your card statement within 5-7 business days after Splendies initiates the refund, but the card issuer controls the final timing. If your cancellation falls more than a few days before your next billing date, you're unlikely to see any refund (since no overcharge occurred). However, if you cancel a prepaid plan mid-cycle, you're entitled to a refund of the unused months minus a reasonable cancellation fee-though Yafee notes that aggressive cancellation fees may violate the Consumer Protection Act if they're punitive rather than compensatory.
What if the refund doesn't arrive
If 21 days pass and you haven't received your refund, escalate immediately. Send a formal demand letter to Splendies' registered address (see contact details at the end of this guide) via registered post, requesting the refund and citing the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Keep a copy. If Splendies still doesn't respond within 7 days, file a complaint with your District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Yafee has supported consumers through this process many times, and the commission typically orders refunds plus compensation for delayed payment.
Common mistakes that delay or block your cancellation
Most cancellation problems stem from avoidable oversights-but you're not alone if you've made one, and it doesn't prevent you from fixing it.
Mistake 1: missing your cancellation deadline
If you forget to cancel before your renewal date, Splendies will charge you for the next cycle. You still have legal recourse: you can cancel immediately after being charged and invoke the cooling-off period (if within 14 days of receipt) or file a chargeback with your bank. Act within 2 business days of spotting the unwanted charge for the fastest resolution.
Mistake 2: pausing instead of cancelling
Some users accidentally select "Pause" instead of "Cancel." A paused subscription will resume automatically after the pause period ends and charge your card again. If this happens, log back in and select "Cancel" to stop all future charges permanently.
Mistake 3: not keeping cancellation proof
Without a screenshot or email confirmation, you have no evidence of when you cancelled if Splendies later charges you or disputes your refund claim. Always document every step. Yafee recommends taking screenshots of your account settings page showing the subscription as "cancelled" as well.
Mistake 4: assuming email cancellation requests will work
If you email Splendies asking them to cancel and don't receive an acknowledgment within 24 hours, they may claim they never received the request. Always cancel through the website to generate an automatic, timestamped record. Only use email if the website cancellation tool is broken, and in that case, send the email via registered delivery or request a read receipt.
What to do after you cancel
Cancellation is the beginning of your administrative follow-up, not the end-and completing these steps protects you from surprise charges.
Monitor your bank statements for the next 60 days
Even after cancellation, keep checking your card statement for the next two billing cycles. Some companies deliberately reattempt charges after a cancellation to see if you're paying attention. If you spot any Splendies charge after you've cancelled, immediately dispute it as unauthorized with your card issuer. Document your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
Unsubscribe from marketing emails
Splendies will likely continue sending you promotional emails and win-back offers even after cancellation. Look for an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of these emails and click it, or update your email preferences in your account settings (if you can still access your account). This is optional but reduces confusion and unwanted marketing.
Request deletion of your account if desired
If you want to remove your personal data from Splendies' systems, you can submit a data deletion request under the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011. Contact Splendies support and request permanent account deletion. They must comply within 30 days. Yafee advises doing this in writing via email or registered post for documentation purposes.

If Splendies refuses to refund you
Not every company honors refund requests willingly, but the law is on your side if you follow the proper escalation process.
Step 1: send a formal demand notice
Draft a letter to Splendies stating your cancellation date, the amount paid, the reason for refund (cooling-off period or defective product), and the date by which you expect payment. Send this via registered post to Splendies' official address (see contact section below). Keep the postal receipt and a copy of your letter. Allow 7 business days for a response.
Step 2: file a complaint with the national consumer helpline
If Splendies doesn't respond, contact the National Consumer Helpline at 1800-11-4000 (toll-free) or visit their online portal at consumercomplaints.nic.in. They will assess your complaint and direct you to the appropriate District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission based on your state and transaction value.
Step 3: file a formal complaint with your district consumer commission
You can file a consumer complaint directly at your District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. The filing fee is minimal (typically ₹100-₹500 depending on the claim value), and you don't need a lawyer. Include copies of your order confirmation, cancellation proof, communication with Splendies, and payment evidence. The commission will serve Splendies with a notice and schedule a hearing. Most refund disputes are resolved within 90 days. Yafee has documented many such cases, and consumer commissions consistently rule in favor of customers when the law is clear.
For registered post correspondence or formal dispute notices, use the address provided in Splendies' Terms and Conditions or dispute resolution clause. If the address is not visible on their website, contact their customer support via email and request their official registered office address in writing. Keep this correspondence as proof of your attempt to resolve the matter informally.
All communications regarding cancellation or refunds should be sent to this address via registered post with acknowledgment due, ensuring you have proof of delivery and receipt.
