Frequently asked questions
Cancel Shuteye: The Right Way
How to cancel Shuteye and stop unwanted charges: a complete legal guide for malaysia
What is Shuteye and why cancellation matters
Shuteye is a sleep management app that operates on a recurring subscription model, charging users monthly or annually for access to premium features including sleep tracking, guided audio content, and soundscape libraries. The service is operated by Enerjoy Limited and billed through multiple channels: directly from the Shuteye website, through Apple App Store, or via Google Play Store. Understanding the correct cancellation route is critical because deleting the app does not automatically stop charges. Your subscription continues to renew on its scheduled billing date unless you cancel through the exact payment channel where you signed up.
At Yafee, we have assisted thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations, and Shuteye cancellations rank among the most frequently mishandled. Users report surprise charges after believing they had cancelled, unclear cancellation pathways, and delays in refund processing. This guide walks you through the legal framework protecting your rights in Malaysia, the precise cancellation steps for each payment method, and the remedies available to you if Shuteye fails to honour your cancellation request.
Pricing structure and billing cycles
Shuteye offers two primary recurring subscription tiers. The 1-Month Premium plan costs RM47 (approximately USD 9.99) per month, while the 1-Year Premium plan costs RM283 (approximately USD 59.99) annually. Both plans auto-renew on the anniversary of your billing date unless actively cancelled. Malaysian users may experience foreign exchange conversion and additional bank charges when paying in foreign currency, which can make your final statement differ from the advertised amount. Keep your billing receipts to verify the exact charged amount against your bank statement.
The free version of Shuteye offers basic alarm and sleep timer functionality. The premium tier unlocks extended sleep tracking history, an expanded content library, offline download capability, and ad-free access. Many users subscribe during a trial period, which may offer 7 to 30 days of complimentary access before the first charge. If you cancel during a trial, you retain access until the trial expires, but no refund is due because no payment has been processed.
Why users struggle to cancel Shuteye
The primary friction point is that Shuteye does not operate a single, unified cancellation interface. Instead, the cancellation method depends entirely on where you made your original purchase. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, you must cancel within Apple's subscription settings, not through the Shuteye app. If you subscribed through Google Play, cancellation happens in Google Play Store settings. If you purchased directly from the Shuteye website using a credit card, cancellation requires either account-level management or direct contact with support. This fragmentation creates confusion and unintended continued charges.
Furthermore, Shuteye's public help documentation, while present, does not prominently highlight which cancellation method applies to your specific payment route. Users often attempt to cancel within the app itself, find no obvious cancellation button, and incorrectly assume they have successfully cancelled when they have not. The company's support team is contactable by email at [email protected] and by phone at +65 86099582, but response times are not guaranteed and support hours are not published.
Your legal position: consumer rights under malaysian law
Your right to cancel Shuteye is protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599), the primary consumer protection statute in Malaysia. This section explains your legal foundation and the remedies available to you.
Cooling-off rights and distance contracts
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, consumers who enter into distance contracts (contracts concluded without face-to-face interaction, such as online purchases) have the right to cancel within 14 calendar days without penalty and without providing any reason. This period is known as the "cooling-off period." The clock starts on the date you receive the service documentation or confirmation, whichever is later. For Shuteye subscriptions purchased online, you have 14 days to cancel and receive a full refund if you have not substantially used the service.
Importantly, if you cancel within the cooling-off period, Shuteye must refund all charges, including any trial-period or initial payment, within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice. The company may deduct costs only for services you actually consumed if you expressly agreed to begin use before the cooling-off period expired. In practice, this means if you subscribed, used the app heavily for 10 days, then cancelled on day 12, Shuteye can argue you forfeited your cooling-off right by using the service substantially.
Right to cancel after the cooling-off period
After the 14-day cooling-off period expires, you retain the right to cancel your recurring subscription at any time, but you are not entitled to a refund for the current billing period. Instead, your cancellation takes effect on the next scheduled billing date. Consequently, if you cancel on the 20th of a month and your subscription renews on the first of each month, your access continues through the end of that month, and you will not be charged again.
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 mandates that Shuteye must provide you with clear, pre-contract information about cancellation rights, the duration of the subscription, billing frequency, and the mechanism for cancellation. If Shuteye has failed to provide this information or has made cancellation unreasonably difficult, you may have grounds to lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP), Malaysia's primary consumer enforcement body.
Your legal position block
Your legal position: You have a statutory right to cancel Shuteye within 14 days of purchase and receive a full refund if you have not substantially used the service. After 14 days, you may cancel at any time, with the cancellation taking effect at your next renewal date. Shuteye must acknowledge your cancellation in writing, provide a cancellation confirmation number, and honour your request by the next billing cycle. If the company charges you after cancellation, you are entitled to demand a refund plus compensation for any associated costs. If Shuteye refuses, escalate to KPDNHEP or your bank's dispute resolution team.
Cancellation methods by payment platform
Your cancellation route depends on where your payment is processed, not where you downloaded the app. This section guides you through each scenario.
Cancelling a subscription purchased through apple app store
If your Shuteye charge appears on your Apple bill or you see "Shuteye Premium" listed in Apple's subscription settings, follow these steps.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Tap or click your Apple ID name at the top of the screen.
- On older versions of iOS, tap "Settings" then "iTunes and App Store" then your Apple ID.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Find and tap "Shuteye Premium" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- When prompted, confirm the cancellation by tapping "Confirm" or "Cancel Subscription" again.
- You will see a message confirming your cancellation. Screenshot this confirmation for your records.
- Verify that the subscription status changes to "Expires on [date]" rather than "Renews on [date]."
Apple will immediately stop charging you and your access will continue until the expiration date shown. You will not receive a pro-rata refund unless you are within the 14-day cooling-off period. If you do not see the subscription listed under "Subscriptions," your charges may be processed through a different platform (Google Play or direct billing); scroll down to check.
Cancelling a subscription purchased through google play store
If your Shuteye charge appears on your Google Play bill, follow these steps.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions."
- Tap "Subscriptions" from the submenu.
- Find and tap "Shuteye Premium."
- Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom.
- Read the cancellation information, then confirm by tapping "Cancel subscription" again.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation message.
Google Play will stop charging immediately, and your access continues until the expiration date. Like Apple, no refund is issued after the 14-day cooling-off window unless you meet the substantial-use exception. If you are within 14 days of your initial purchase and have barely used the app, contact Google Play Support directly to request a refund; they may approve it as a one-time courtesy even if Shuteye does not offer automatic refunds.
Cancelling a direct website subscription
If you subscribed directly through Shuteye's website using a credit or debit card, the cancellation process is less straightforward. Yafee recommends this approach.
- Log in to your Shuteye account on the web at shuteye.com.
- If you cannot remember your password, use the "Forgot password" link and reset it.
- Navigate to your account settings or profile page, typically found under a user icon or account menu.
- Look for a "Billing," "Subscription," or "Plans" section.
- If a cancellation button or "Manage Subscription" link is visible, click it and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.
- If no cancellation option is visible in your account settings, proceed to contact support (see the following step).
If the Shuteye website does not offer an account-level cancellation tool, or if you cannot access your account, you must contact Shuteye's support team by email. Send a message to [email protected] with the subject line "Request to cancel subscription" and include the following details: your full name, registered email address, the exact subscription plan you purchased, the amount you were charged, the date of your most recent charge, and your preferred refund method. Request written confirmation of your cancellation within 3 business days.
Cancelling via postal letter (EU/UK cooling-off requirement)
If you are within the 14-day cooling-off period and Shuteye does not offer an online cancellation mechanism, or if you prefer to create a formal paper trail, you have the right to cancel by registered postal letter. Address your letter to Enerjoy Limited at their registered business address and include the information listed above. Send the letter via registered mail so that you have proof of delivery. Retain your proof-of-postage receipt. Shuteye must acknowledge receipt within 7 days and process the refund within 14 days of receiving your written cancellation notice. At Yafee, we recommend this route if you suspect the company may dispute your cancellation claim.
Timeline and what happens after cancellation
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline protects you from surprise charges and helps you verify that your cancellation was processed.
Immediate steps after confirming cancellation
Once you have received cancellation confirmation (whether on screen, via email, or via postal receipt), take the following steps immediately.
- Screenshot or download the cancellation confirmation message, email, or order number.
- Screenshot the Shuteye app or website showing that the subscription status now displays "Expires on [date]" or "Cancelled."
- Check your email for a cancellation receipt from Apple, Google, Shuteye, or your payment provider. If you do not receive one within 24 hours, contact support again.
- Create a folder on your computer or cloud storage labeled "Shuteye Cancellation" and store all screenshots, emails, and receipts there.
- Set a calendar reminder for two days after your expiration date to verify that no charge has been applied.
What to expect at the next billing cycle
Your access to Shuteye Premium will remain active until the expiration date shown in your cancellation confirmation. After that date, you will be automatically downgraded to the free version of the app. You will retain access to basic features (alarm, timer) but lose access to premium content. Importantly, you will not be charged on or after the expiration date. If a charge appears on your bank statement after the expiration date, this constitutes a billing error and you have the right to dispute it immediately (see the following section).
Refund timelines and what to do if you are not refunded
If you are entitled to a refund (because you cancelled within the 14-day cooling-off period or because Shuteye charged you after you cancelled), you must receive the refund within 14 days of Shuteye receiving your cancellation notice. Bank processing times are separate; allow an additional 3 to 5 business days for the refund to appear in your account. If you do not see the refund after 21 days, contact Shuteye's support team again by email and include the subject line "Refund status for subscription cancellation" along with your order number, cancellation date, and the amount refunded.
If Shuteye fails to refund you within 14 days without providing a valid reason, you have the right to escalate. First, request a refund in writing to [email protected] with a deadline of 7 days. If you receive no response, log a dispute with your bank or credit card issuer using their chargeback or dispute resolution process. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation, the date you cancelled, and proof that the charge continued after cancellation. Most banks will reverse the charge in your favour if you supply this evidence. Alternatively, lodge a formal complaint with KPDNHEP (Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs) and request their intervention; they have authority to compel Shuteye to refund you.
Pricing overview and subscription tiers
This section summarises Shuteye's pricing structure to help you verify that you are being charged the correct amount and to confirm your subscription tier before cancelling.
| Subscription tier | Billing frequency | Amount (RM) | Amount (USD) | Renewal cycle | Cancellation window |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shuteye Free | N/A (no charge) | Free | Free | N/A | N/A |
| Shuteye Premium (1-Month) | Monthly | RM47 | USD 9.99 | Every 30 days | 14 days (refund), then anytime (no refund) |
| Shuteye Premium (1-Year) | Annually | RM283 | USD 59.99 | Every 365 days | 14 days (refund), then anytime (no refund) |
| Trial (varies) | 7 to 30 days free | Free initially | Free initially | Auto-converts to paid tier | Before first charge (no refund needed) |
Note: Currency conversions are approximate and based on a rate of approximately 1 USD = 4.72 RM. Your actual charge may differ due to foreign exchange fluctuations and bank conversion fees. Always verify the amount shown in your billing receipt against your bank statement.
Common mistakes that lead to failed cancellations
Many users believe they have cancelled Shuteye only to discover a charge on their next billing date. This section identifies the most frequent errors so you can avoid them.
Mistake 1: deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Uninstalling the Shuteye app does not cancel your subscription. The app is simply the interface; your subscription exists in the billing system of Apple, Google, or Shuteye's payment processor. Deleting the app is equivalent to throwing away your newspaper-it stops you reading it, but your subscription remains active and will renew. You must always cancel the subscription through the billing platform before uninstalling the app.
Mistake 2: cancelling in the wrong platform
If you subscribed through Apple but attempt to cancel in the Shuteye app, your cancellation will not process. Similarly, if you signed up for direct billing but look for a cancel button in Google Play, you will not find it. Before cancelling, verify where you are being charged by checking your billing statement or bank receipt. Look for the biller name (Apple, Google, or Shuteye). This determines your cancellation route. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your receipt immediately after purchase so you have proof of which platform processed the charge.
Mistake 3: cancelling but not confirming the expiration date
You must always verify that your subscription status has changed from "Renews on [date]" to "Expires on [date]" after cancelling. Some users receive a cancellation confirmation but fail to check that the subscription actually changed status. If you see "Renews on [date]" still displayed after confirming cancellation, contact support immediately-your cancellation did not process. Take a screenshot of the status and email it to support with the subject line "Cancellation did not process-subscription still active."
Mistake 4: failing to keep proof of cancellation
If a dispute arises later (for example, if Shuteye charges you again after you cancelled), your only evidence will be your screenshots and emails. Users who do not save confirmation numbers, cancellation emails, or screenshots find it extremely difficult to prove they cancelled, and banks may decline to reverse charges without evidence. At the moment you cancel, take screenshots of the confirmation page, your subscription status, the cancellation email (if applicable), and your proof of contact with support. Store these in a dedicated folder and retain them for at least one year.
Mistake 5: not cancelling within the cooling-off period if eligible for a refund
You have 14 days from purchase to cancel and receive a full refund (provided you have not substantially used the service). After 14 days, you can still cancel, but you forgo the refund and pay through your current billing period. If you are on a trial and are not interested in subscribing, cancel before the trial expires and the first charge is applied. If you have already been charged and are within 14 days, act immediately to request a refund refund by cancelling and then contacting support in writing to claim your cooling-off right.
If Shuteye refuses to cancel or continues charging you
This section guides you through escalation routes if Shuteye does not honour your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you have cancelled.
Step 1: obtain written proof of your cancellation request
If you cancelled in-app or through a mobile platform, send an email to [email protected] confirming your cancellation and requesting written acknowledgement. Use this email format:
Subject: Confirmation of subscription cancellation request
Body: "I am writing to confirm that I cancelled my Shuteye Premium subscription on [date] via [Apple/Google Play/website]. My registered email address is [your email], and my account is associated with [phone number or payment card ending in XXXX]. Please confirm receipt of this cancellation notice and provide a cancellation confirmation number within 24 hours. If you have not received my cancellation request, I am hereby formally requesting that you cancel my subscription effective immediately, or as of my next renewal date on [date if known]. Please respond within 3 business days."
Keep this email and any response. If Shuteye does not respond within 3 business days, you have evidence that they failed to provide customer service, which strengthens your position in any later dispute.
Step 2: dispute the charge with your payment provider
If Shuteye charges you after cancellation or refuses to honour your cancellation, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and request a "chargeback," "reversal," or "dispute." Provide the bank with your cancellation confirmation, the date you cancelled, screenshots of your subscription status showing the cancellation, and proof that Shuteye charged you after that date. Banks have a strong obligation under consumer protection law to reverse unauthorized or erroneous charges, and a documented cancellation request combined with a post-cancellation charge is strong evidence in your favour. Most disputes are resolved within 5 to 10 business days.
Step 3: lodge a complaint with the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs (KPDNHEP)
If Shuteye continues to refuse refunds or to acknowledge your cancellation, escalate to KPDNHEP, Malaysia's primary consumer enforcement authority. You may file a complaint online via the KPDNHEP portal (www.kpdnhep.gov.my) or by visiting a local KPDNHEP office. Provide KPDNHEP with copies of your cancellation request, the cancellation confirmation (if any), your billing statements showing the post-cancellation charges, and any correspondence with Shuteye. KPDNHEP has authority to investigate breaches of the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and can compel Shuteye to refund you. Complaints are typically processed within 30 to 60 days.
Step 4: demand a refund in writing with a formal deadline
If informal escalation does not work, send a formal demand letter to Enerjoy Limited (Shuteye's parent company) at their registered address. The letter must include your full name, account details, the amount charged in error, your cancellation date, and a clear demand for a refund within 14 days. Send this letter via registered mail and retain your proof of postage. If Shuteye does not respond or refuses to refund within 14 days, you have grounds to pursue small claims proceedings in a Malaysian court or to file a complaint with a consumer dispute resolution scheme if Shuteye is a member of one.
Comparison of cancellation methods and recovery times
This table compares the different cancellation routes, processing times, and refund eligibility to help you choose the fastest option.
| Cancellation method | Platform | Processing time | Refund eligible within 14 days? | Best for | Risk level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In-app cancellation (Apple) | Apple App Store | Immediate | Yes | Quick cancellation with instant confirmation | Low |
| In-app cancellation (Google) | Google Play Store | Immediate | Yes | Android users, quick cancellation | Low |
| Web account cancellation | Shuteye website | 1 to 3 business days | Yes | Direct website subscribers | Medium |
| Email support cancellation | Support ticket | 3 to 7 business days | Yes | If website option unavailable | Medium |
| Postal letter cancellation | Registered mail | 7 to 14 business days | Yes | Formal record needed, cooling-off disputes | Low (but slow) |
| Bank chargeback (after refusal) | Bank dispute team | 5 to 10 business days | N/A (error correction) | Post-cancellation charges, Shuteye refuses refund | Low (bank-backed) |
The table shows that app-based cancellations (Apple or Google) are the fastest and most reliable because they execute immediately within the payment platform. Email or web cancellations are slower but leave a paper trail. Bank chargebacks are the most effective remedy if Shuteye refuses to honour your cancellation or continues to charge you.
Checklist: steps to take before and after cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you have completed every necessary step and documented your cancellation fully.
Before you cancel
- Take a screenshot of your active Shuteye subscription page or billing page showing "Renews on [date]."
- Save a copy of your last billing receipt or invoice.
- Note the exact amount charged (in RM) and the date of the last charge.
- Identify which platform processed your payment (Apple, Google, or Shuteye direct billing).
- If you are within 14 days of purchase, note this so you remember you are eligible for a refund.
- Create a folder on your computer or cloud storage to store all cancellation evidence.
During cancellation
- Proceed with cancellation using the correct platform identified above.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page immediately.
- Note the date and time of cancellation.
- If a cancellation confirmation number is provided, write it down.
- If cancellation is via email, take a screenshot of your sent email and any receipt showing it was sent.
After cancellation
- Within 24 hours, verify that your subscription status now shows "Expires on [date]" instead of "Renews on [date]."
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation receipt; if none arrives within 24 hours, contact support.
- Set a calendar reminder for one day after your expiration date to verify no charge has been applied.
- Retain all screenshots, emails, and receipts in your cancellation folder for at least 12 months.
- If a charge appears after the expiration date, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and provide your cancellation proof.

Phone: +65 86099582 (note: this is a Singapore-based number; call rates may apply)

If you need to send a formal cancellation request or demand letter via postal mail and Shuteye has not provided a Malaysia-based address on their website, send your letter to their registered business address in Singapore or use the email address above and request postal confirmation within 3 business days.
Escalation to malaysian consumer authorities
If Shuteye refuses to cancel your subscription or continues to charge you after cancellation, escalate to the following authorities:
Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP)
Hotline: 1-800-886-357 (toll-free in Malaysia)
Website: www.kpdnhep.gov.my

Bank dispute and chargeback escalation
If Shuteye charges you after cancellation or refuses to refund you within the cooling-off period, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately. Request a "chargeback" or "payment dispute." Provide the bank with your cancellation confirmation, the date you cancelled, and proof that the charge occurred after cancellation. Most banks will reverse the charge within 5 to 10 business days if your evidence is clear.
