Frequently asked questions
Cancel Factor: The Right Way
How to cancel Factor meal delivery in malaysia: your legal rights and step-by-step guide
What is Factor and how the subscription works
Factor is a subscription meal delivery service that sends ready-made meals to your door on a recurring basis. The service operates on an auto-renewal model, meaning your payment method is charged automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel beforehand. You are purchasing access to Factor's meal selection, account management system, and weekly delivery infrastructure. The frustration many Malaysian customers face is that Factor's published terms do not clearly outline cancellation procedures, refund policies, or minimum commitment periods in one place. Instead, you must rely on the account dashboard or customer support to understand your rights.
Pricing structure and billing cycle in malaysia
Factor operates on a weekly subscription model with automatic renewal. Billing occurs on a schedule tied to your plan start date, and orders are processed on a weekly basis. For Malaysian customers, it is critical to understand that Factor does not publish pricing in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) directly. The service operates in USD, and conversion rates fluctuate. A typical monthly plan costs approximately RM71 (USD $15), while longer-term commitments may offer discounts. The key operational detail is the weekly cut-off: Factor stops accepting cancellation requests each week at a specific time, typically Wednesday 11:59 PM CT. In Malaysia Standard Time (MST), this is 1:59 PM Thursday. Missing this deadline locks you into another week of charges.
What factor's terms actually say about cancellation
Factor's published terms do not contain a dedicated cancellation clause that specifies notice periods, refund eligibility, or step-by-step instructions. This is a significant gap in contract transparency. Under Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), suppliers must provide clear information about how consumers can cancel recurring contracts. The absence of this detail in Factor's published terms does not eliminate your right to cancel, but it does mean you must initiate cancellation through the account dashboard or email support rather than relying on a contractual procedure. Yafee has reviewed Factor's cancellation pathway and identified the steps you need to follow to avoid unexpected charges.
Your legal position under malaysian consumer law
Consumer protection act 1999 and your cancellation rights
As a consumer in Malaysia, you are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), which applies to all goods and services supplied by traders. Factor, as a service supplier, must comply with CPA 1999 requirements. The Act requires that traders provide clear information about cancellation rights, refund policies, and billing terms before you enter into a contract. If Factor's terms do not clearly state how to cancel or what notice period applies, you retain the right to cancel on reasonable notice. Furthermore, CPA 1999 prohibits unfair contract terms, including hidden charges or automatic renewal clauses that do not comply with transparency requirements. Under Section 9 of the Act, any term that creates a significant imbalance in the parties' rights is potentially unfair and unenforceable against you.
Your legal position on automatic renewal and billing
Malaysian law treats automatic renewal clauses with caution. The CPA 1999 does not explicitly ban auto-renewal, but it requires that the mechanism be clearly disclosed before you agree to the contract. If you did not knowingly agree to auto-renewal, or if the disclosure was hidden in lengthy terms, you may have grounds to dispute charges. In accordance with CPA 1999 Section 52, unfair contract terms are void against the consumer. This means Factor cannot enforce a term that is so one-sided that it breaches the Act's fairness standard. If you can demonstrate that you were not clearly informed of the weekly cut-off deadline or the auto-renewal terms, you may be entitled to a refund of disputed charges. The enforcement body for consumer complaints is Suruhanjaya Perlindungan Pengguna Malaysia (SUHAKAM, the Malaysian Consumer Protection Board). You can lodge a complaint with SUHAKAM if Factor refuses to honour your cancellation request or processes charges after you cancel.
Methods to cancel Factor and the risks of each
Account dashboard cancellation (the fastest route)
The primary cancellation method is through your Factor account dashboard on the web or mobile app. This is the fastest and most documented route. Log in to your account, navigate to your subscription settings, and select the cancellation option. The system will ask you to confirm cancellation and may offer you a retention incentive (a discount or credit). You should decline retention offers and proceed to final cancellation. Yafee recommends this method because it generates an immediate confirmation that you can screenshot as proof of cancellation. The system will tell you your final delivery date and confirm that no further charges will apply.
Email cancellation and the documentation trap
If the dashboard cancellation fails or you cannot access your account, you can email Factor's support team at [email protected] or [email protected]. In your email, state clearly: your full name, account email address, request to cancel the subscription, and your preferred final delivery date. Do not simply write "I want to cancel" and leave it at that. Specify the date you want the cancellation to take effect. Send this email during Malaysia business hours (9 AM to 5 PM MST) and keep a copy of the sent email. The risk of email cancellation is that Factor may not respond quickly enough to meet the weekly cut-off deadline. If your cancellation email arrives on Thursday or later, Factor's support team may have already locked in the next week's order, and you may face a dispute over who should bear the cost. Yafee advises that you follow up with a second email within 24 hours if you do not receive a confirmation response.
Hybrid approach: dashboard plus email confirmation
The safest cancellation strategy is to cancel via the dashboard immediately and then send a follow-up confirmation email to Factor's support team. In that email, include the date you cancelled through the dashboard, your account number, and ask for written confirmation that your subscription is terminated. This creates a paper trail and protects you if Factor's systems fail to process your dashboard cancellation or if a technical error causes a phantom charge. Many Malaysian consumers have reported that Factor's account systems are unreliable, and a second confirmation via email substantially reduces the risk of being charged after you intended to cancel.
Step-by-step cancellation procedure via the account dashboard
Before you start: gather your account information
Do not cancel until you have confirmed the following details on your account:
- Your current billing status (active, paused, or pending cancellation)
- Your next billing date and the final delivery date if you cancel today
- Any outstanding credits or balance on your account
- The email address linked to your Factor account
Take a screenshot of your account dashboard and the upcoming orders page. This creates evidence of your account status and the date you initiated cancellation. Store these screenshots in a separate folder or cloud storage for at least 90 days after cancellation.
Cancellation steps via the web account dashboard
- Visit factor75.com or factormeals.com and log in using your email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link and reset it before you cancel.
- Navigate to your Account or Subscription Settings section (usually in the top-right menu or under "My Account").
- Look for a tab labeled "Subscription", "Plan", or "Billing".
- Find the option to pause, skip, or cancel your subscription.
- Do not select "pause" or "skip" if you want to cancel permanently. These options only defer the next delivery for one or two weeks; your subscription remains active and will resume automatically.
- Select cancel to terminate the subscription entirely.
- Review the cancellation summary and confirm your final delivery date.
- The system will show you the date of your last meal box or order. Note this date carefully.
- Select confirm cancellation and wait for the system to display a final confirmation message.
- The message should state something like "Your subscription has been cancelled" or "No further charges will apply after [date]".
- Screenshot the final confirmation page immediately and email it to yourself for safekeeping.
- Yafee strongly recommends this step because it is your only proof from Factor's system that you cancelled on this date.
Cancellation steps via the mobile app
- Open the Factor app on your smartphone (iOS or Android).
- Ensure the app is up to date by checking your app store for updates.
- Log in using your account email and password.
- If you are already logged in, skip this step.
- Tap the Account or Menu icon (usually three horizontal lines in the bottom-right corner or top-left corner).
- This opens your account navigation menu.
- Select Subscription or Manage Subscription.
- The app may also list this under "Settings" or "Billing".
- Tap Cancel Subscription or a similar option.
- Avoid "Pause", "Skip Week", or "Manage Plan" options if you want a permanent cancellation.
- Confirm the final delivery date and any cancellation survey questions the app displays.
- Factor may ask you why you are cancelling (feedback). You can skip this or provide brief feedback if you wish.
- Tap Confirm to complete the cancellation.
- The app should display a confirmation screen or send you a confirmation email to your registered address.
- Screenshot the confirmation screen and save the confirmation email that arrives in your inbox.
- If no confirmation email arrives within 15 minutes, proceed to the email cancellation backup method below.
Email cancellation as a backup method
If you cannot access the dashboard or mobile app, or if you want additional documentation, send an email to [email protected] with the following information:
- Write a clear subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Name]".
- In the email body, include:
- Your full name
- The email address associated with your Factor account
- Your account number (if you know it; you can find this on your billing invoices or account dashboard)
- A clear statement: "I request to cancel my Factor subscription effective immediately" or "effective [specific date]"
- A request for written confirmation of the cancellation and the final delivery date
- Send the email during Malaysia business hours (9 AM to 5 PM MST, Monday to Friday).
- Sending on Friday afternoon may delay the response until Monday, and you may miss the weekly cut-off.
- Keep a copy of the sent email in a folder labelled "Factor Cancellation" for your records.
- Monitor your email inbox for a reply from Factor's support team within 24 to 48 hours.
- If you do not receive a reply within 48 hours, send a follow-up email restating your cancellation request and asking for urgent confirmation.
Refund rights and what happens to your credits after cancellation
Factor's refund policy and how it applies in malaysia
Factor does not advertise a standard refund policy for meal subscriptions. Once meals are delivered or an order is processed, Factor generally treats them as non-refundable. However, the Consumer Protection Act 1999 grants you certain rights if the service is defective, spoiled, or not delivered in accordance with the contract. If you receive meals that are damaged, expired, or significantly different from Factor's description, you are entitled to request a refund or replacement under CPA 1999 Section 57. Yafee recommends that you document any defective meals with photographs and report the issue to Factor within 7 days of delivery. Furthermore, if you cancel your subscription before a scheduled delivery, Factor should not charge you for that delivery. This is a fundamental consumer protection principle: you should not pay for goods or services you have not ordered or that are cancelled before supply.
Account credits and prorated refunds
If you have paid for meals in advance or have a credit balance on your account at the time of cancellation, you are entitled to a refund of that credit. Factor should either refund the credit to your original payment method within 14 days of cancellation or allow you to use the credit until the final delivery date. If Factor refuses to refund unused credits after you cancel, you have the right to file a complaint with SUHAKAM (Suruhanjaya Perlindungan Pengguna Malaysia). In your cancellation email, explicitly state: "Please confirm the status of any account credits and refund any remaining balance to my payment method within 14 days." This creates a contractual obligation that you can reference if a dispute arises.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Factor
Confusion between pause and cancellation
You are not alone if you have accidentally selected "pause" instead of "cancel" and later discovered you were still being charged. The pause feature temporarily skips deliveries for one or two weeks, but your subscription remains active. When the pause period ends, Factor resumes automatic billing without sending a reminder. To avoid this, always look for the word "cancel" on the subscription settings page. If you see only "skip week" or "pause delivery" options, scroll down or look for an additional menu that offers permanent cancellation. Yafee advises that you ask yourself before clicking: "Will I ever want to use Factor again?" If the answer is no, you need permanent cancellation, not a pause.
Timing your cancellation around the weekly cut-off
Factor processes orders on a weekly cycle, and the cut-off time is typically Wednesday 11:59 PM CT. In Malaysia Standard Time (MST), Wednesday 11:59 PM CT equals Thursday 1:59 PM MST. Many Malaysian customers believe they have until Friday or Saturday to cancel, but by then the order for the following week has already been locked in and charged to their account. To be safe, cancel by Tuesday 11:59 PM MST at the latest. This gives you a full 24-hour buffer before the CT cut-off and ensures your cancellation is processed before the next order cycle begins. If you cancel on Thursday or later in Malaysia, you are almost certainly too late, and you will be charged for the following week.
Not documenting the cancellation date and confirmation
Without proof of cancellation, you have no defence if Factor charges your account after you cancel. Many customers delete confirmation emails, forget to screenshot the dashboard, or lose track of when they cancelled. Months later, they see a charge and cannot explain when or how they cancelled. To prevent this, create a single document (spreadsheet or text file) that records: the date you cancelled, the method you used (dashboard or email), the name of the person at Factor who confirmed the cancellation (if by email), and the date of your final delivery. Store this document in cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox) so it is not lost if your phone or computer fails. This documentation is essential if you need to dispute a charge with your bank or file a complaint with SUHAKAM.
Not checking your bank statement after cancellation
Assume that Factor may charge your account after you cancel, whether by mistake or due to a system failure. Review your bank or credit card statement every week for the two weeks following your cancellation date. If you see a charge from Factor after your final delivery date, report it to your bank immediately and explain that you cancelled the subscription. Under Malaysian banking regulations, your bank must investigate disputed charges within 30 days. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder to check your statement every Friday evening for the first month after cancellation.
What to do after your subscription is cancelled
Confirming cancellation and preserving your records
Once Factor confirms your cancellation, your subscription is formally terminated. However, your responsibility does not end there. Within 7 days of cancellation, you should receive a final order (the delivery scheduled before your cancellation cut-off) and then silence from Factor. If you continue to receive orders after your final delivery date, contact Factor immediately using the email method described above and remind them that you cancelled the subscription. Save the cancellation confirmation email for a minimum of 90 days. After 90 days, the dispute window for credit card chargebacks or bank investigations typically closes, so if a phantom charge appears after that period, your options become more limited. Store your cancellation documentation (confirmation emails, screenshots, and bank records) in a separate folder labeled "Factor Cancellation - Do Not Delete" so you can find it quickly if needed.
Disputing unauthorized charges through your bank
If Factor charges your account after you have cancelled and your cancellation is documented, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately. In Malaysia, banks are required to investigate disputed transactions (chargebacks) within 30 days. Provide your bank with the following evidence: a copy of your cancellation confirmation from Factor, screenshots of your final delivery date, and the disputed charge statement. Your bank will contact Factor to verify whether the charge was authorized. If Factor cannot prove that you agreed to the charge after your cancellation date, your bank must reverse it and refund your account. Do not simply call Factor and ask for a refund first if the charge is clearly unauthorized; go straight to your bank to initiate the formal dispute process. This protects your timeline and creates an official record.
Filing a complaint with SUHAKAM if Factor refuses to cooperate
If Factor refuses to honour your cancellation, continues to charge you after you cancel, or fails to refund credits, you can file a formal complaint with SUHAKAM (Suruhanjaya Perlindungan Pengguna Malaysia). SUHAKAM is the government enforcement body for consumer protection complaints in Malaysia. You can lodge a complaint online at www.suhakam.gov.my or visit a SUHAKAM office in person. In your complaint, include: your cancellation documentation, evidence of all disputed charges, correspondence with Factor's support team, and an explanation of the harm or loss you have suffered. SUHAKAM will investigate Factor's conduct and may order the company to refund you or cease the unauthorized charges. This process is free and does not require a lawyer. Furthermore, SUHAKAM can impose penalties on Factor if the company is found to have breached CPA 1999. Consequently, Factor takes SUHAKAM complaints seriously, and a formal complaint is often a powerful incentive for the company to resolve your dispute quickly.

Comparison of alternative meal delivery services in malaysia
| Service | Availability in Malaysia | Cancellation method | Refund policy | Pricing (approx. RM) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factor | Yes | Dashboard or email | Non-refundable meals; credits refundable | RM 66-76 monthly |
| CookUnity | Limited | Dashboard or phone | 7-day money-back guarantee | RM 60-80 weekly |
| Trifecta | Limited | Email or dashboard | 14-day satisfaction guarantee | RM 70-90 weekly |
| EveryPlate | No (US/Canada only) | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Local KL meal prep services | Yes | Phone or WhatsApp | Per company policy | RM 40-60 weekly |
If you are cancelling Factor because the pricing or meal selection no longer suits your needs, consider exploring local meal prep services that deliver in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Penang. These services often offer more competitive pricing and faster refund policies. Yafee recommends comparing at least two alternatives before you commit to a new subscription.
Contacting factor's support and escalation address
Primary support contact methods
Factor does not publish a Malaysia-specific postal address for cancellations. All support is conducted digitally via email or the account dashboard. The verified contact channels are:
- Email: [email protected] (general support and billing inquiries)
- Email: [email protected] (business or corporate accounts)
- Support form: factor75.com/contact (web-based inquiry form)
- Mobile app: Account > Help or Support section
Factor does not operate a Malaysia-specific phone line. The US phone number listed on their website (888-573-5727) is not toll-free for Malaysian callers and would incur international call charges. Yafee advises Malaysian customers to use email as the primary contact method and to allow 24 to 48 hours for a response. If you are in a time-sensitive situation (cancelling close to the weekly cut-off), send your email on a Monday or Tuesday morning Malaysia time to maximize the chance that Factor's support team will respond before the Wednesday CT cut-off.
Escalation options if Factor does not respond
If Factor does not respond to your cancellation email within 48 hours, or if the company refuses to honour your cancellation request, escalate your complaint to SUHAKAM (Suruhanjaya Perlindungan Pengguna Malaysia). SUHAKAM is the legal enforcement body for consumer protection in Malaysia and has the authority to investigate Factor's conduct and order refunds or corrective action. You can file a complaint online at www.suhakam.gov.my or visit a SUHAKAM office. In addition, you can contact your state's Consumer Claims Tribunal if your dispute involves a small claim (under RM5,000). The tribunal is a faster and less formal avenue than court proceedings and does not require a lawyer. Yafee has helped thousands of Malaysian consumers resolve subscription disputes by documenting their cancellation requests, gathering evidence, and filing formal complaints with SUHAKAM when necessary. The combination of clear documentation and regulatory escalation is highly effective in securing refunds and ensuring compliance with CPA 1999.
Summary of steps to take if Factor does not cooperate
- Send a second cancellation email to [email protected] with a subject line: "URGENT: Cancellation Request Not Processed - [Your Name]". Include your first email as a forwarded message to prove you already sent the request.
- If Factor does not respond within 72 hours, check your bank statement. If a charge appears after your intended cancellation date, contact your bank and initiate a chargeback dispute.
- In parallel, file a formal complaint with SUHAKAM online or in person, including all email correspondence and bank statements showing unauthorized charges.
- Keep all documentation (emails, screenshots, bank statements, SUHAKAM complaint receipt) for at least one year in case Factor or your bank requests further evidence.
Final summary and next steps
Cancelling Factor in Malaysia is straightforward if you follow the step-by-step procedure outlined above: access your account dashboard, select the cancellation option, confirm your final delivery date, screenshot the confirmation, and send a follow-up email to [email protected] as backup. The most critical factor is timing: ensure you cancel before the weekly cut-off (Wednesday 11:59 PM CT, or Thursday 1:59 PM MST) to avoid being charged for an additional week. Document every step, retain all confirmation emails, and monitor your bank statement for two weeks after cancellation. If Factor charges you after you cancel, your rights are protected by Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999, which prohibits unfair contract terms and automatic renewal practices that lack clear disclosure. If the company refuses to honour your cancellation or refund disputed charges, you can escalate to SUHAKAM without cost or legal representation. Yafee has reviewed Factor's cancellation process in detail and designed this guide to give you the confidence and documentation you need to cancel without risk. The service has helped thousands of consumers across Malaysia cancel subscription services and recover unwanted charges. By following this guide, you are empowered to take control of your Factor subscription and assert your legal rights under Malaysian law.
