Frequently asked questions
Cancel Flexi: The Right Way for Nigerians
How to cancel Flexi in nigeria and protect your money
What is Flexi and why you might want to cancel
Flexi is a subscription-based accounting and business management software platform serving users across Africa, including Nigeria. If you subscribed to Flexi expecting specific features or performance and are now reconsidering your investment, you are not alone. At Yafee, we understand that cancelling a business software subscription can feel daunting, but your right to exit is clear and enforceable under Nigerian consumer law.
The platform provides subscription-based access to accounting tools, invoicing features, financial dashboards, and reporting capabilities. Pricing varies by plan tier and your specific region within Nigeria. Once you decide the service no longer meets your business needs, Yafee is here to walk you through every step of the cancellation process with precision and clarity.
Why cancellation matters in nigeria
Your consumer protections in Nigeria are backed by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA), 2018. This legislation gives you clear rights to cancel remote contracts-such as online software subscriptions-within 14 days of purchase without providing a reason. If Flexi has charged your account and you no longer want the service, you have legal leverage grounded in federal statute. Yafee exists to help you exercise this right confidently and without delay.
Common reasons nigerians cancel Flexi
You might be cancelling because the software does not integrate with your existing tools, the user interface is confusing, customer support responses are slow, or your business needs have changed. Others cancel because they discovered a cheaper alternative, found hidden fees after the first month, or encountered unreliable uptime. Whatever your reason, Yafee respects your decision and will show you exactly how to execute cancellation without losing money or data.
Your consumer rights under nigerian law
Nigerian law gives you specific protections when you cancel a software subscription purchased remotely (online or by phone).
The 14-day withdrawal right
Under the FCCPA and aligned with international distance-selling rules, you have the right to cancel and withdraw from Flexi within 14 calendar days of purchase. This is called a "cooling-off" period. You do not need to give Flexi any reason. You do not need to prove the software was faulty or inadequate. The right exists simply because you bought the subscription remotely, without face-to-face contact.
Count your 14 days from the date you received your subscription confirmation email, not from the date you first logged in or downloaded the app. If you purchased Flexi on a Monday, your deadline falls 14 days later on the following Monday. Submit your withdrawal request before that deadline expires to preserve your right.
Your legal position
You are entitled to a full refund of all sums paid if you withdraw within 14 days. The company may deduct only the cost of goods or services actually supplied if you voluntarily used the service beyond demonstration purposes. However, for accounting software accessed remotely, Flexi cannot charge you for "mere access"-only for genuine use. This distinction is critical. If you logged in, saw the dashboard, and decided it was not for you, the service was not "used" in the legal sense. The FCCPA protects you here.
The FCCPC escalation path
If Flexi refuses your legitimate cancellation or refund request, escalate to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). This government body investigates consumer complaints and can compel companies to refund your money, levy penalties, and cease unfair trading practices. Yafee recommends documenting every communication with Flexi: save emails, take screenshots of chat logs, note the date and time of every interaction, and record any promises made by support staff.
The FCCPC can be reached via their official website and accepts formal complaints from consumers. If Flexi stonewalls you after 14 days, the FCCPC becomes your powerful ally in recovering your funds.
Refund rights for unused subscriptions
If you activated Flexi within your 14-day window and barely used it, you qualify for a full refund under Nigerian consumer law. The company cannot keep your money simply because you clicked "Create Account" or verified your email address. Some vendors try to claim that downloading the app or logging in counts as "using" the service. Ignore this argument. Yafee knows this tactic, and the law is on your side. Passive registration does not constitute use.
How to cancel Flexi: step-by-step procedure
Flexi offers multiple cancellation routes depending on how you subscribed and whether you paid directly or through a third-party platform.
Cancel a direct Flexi subscription via your account
If you signed up at Flexi's website and your payment method is registered directly with Flexi, follow this procedure to initiate cancellation through your account settings.
- Log in to your Flexi account using your email and password.
- Visit the official Flexi website login page.
- Enter your registered email address and password.
- Complete any two-factor authentication if required.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management panel.
- Look for "Settings", "Account", or "Billing" in the main menu.
- Select "Subscription" or "Manage Plan".
- Locate the "Cancel Subscription" or "Downgrade" button.
- Read any cancellation warnings or retention offers.
- Do not click any alternative options like "Pause" unless you intend to pause.
- Confirm your cancellation request.
- Flexi may ask you to provide a reason for cancellation.
- You are not obliged to give a detailed reason, but stating "no longer needed" or "testing period over" is sufficient.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
- Save the confirmation email sent to your registered address.
- Note the cancellation date and any refund reference number.
- Verify that no further charges appear on your payment method within 5 working days.
- Check your bank or card statement.
- If a charge appears after cancellation, contact Flexi support immediately with your cancellation confirmation screenshot.
Cancel a Flexi subscription paid via credit card or bank transfer
If you cannot access the cancel button in your account dashboard, use this direct contact method to request cancellation in writing.
- Gather your account details.
- Your registered email address with Flexi.
- Your subscription plan name and start date.
- Your payment reference or invoice number (visible in your account or confirmation email).
- Compose a formal cancellation request email.
- Subject line: "Cancellation Request for Flexi Subscription" and your email address.
- State clearly: "I wish to cancel my Flexi subscription and request a full refund within 14 days as per the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018."
- Include all account details and the date you purchased the subscription.
- Keep the tone professional and the language direct.
- Send your email to Flexi's official support or billing address.
- Check Flexi's Contact Us page on their website for the correct support email.
- Use a traceable method (not SMS or chat) to preserve evidence.
- Send a copy to yourself or use a read-receipt option if your email provider offers it.
- Wait for a written response within 7 working days.
- Flexi should confirm receipt and outline their refund timeline.
- Save all correspondence.
- Verify the refund within 14 calendar days of your request.
- Check your bank or card account for the refunded amount.
- If no refund appears after 14 days, escalate to the FCCPC (see below).
Cancel a Flexi subscription paid via app store (Google play or apple app store)
If you subscribed to Flexi through Google Play Store (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS), you must cancel through the respective app store, not directly via Flexi.
- On Android (Google Play Store):
- Open Google Play Store on your device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Manage subscriptions".
- Find "Flexi" in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap "Flexi" and select "Cancel subscription".
- Follow Google's prompts to confirm cancellation.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
- On iOS (Apple App Store):
- Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Find and tap "Flexi".
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription".
- Confirm cancellation when prompted.
- Save a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
- Verify that charges stop at the end of your current billing cycle.
- App store cancellations take effect at the end of your current period, not immediately.
- If you want an immediate refund within 14 days, contact Google or Apple support directly with proof of your cancellation.
Pricing and refund comparison
Understanding Flexi's pricing structure helps you calculate what you should recover.
| Plan tier | Approximate monthly cost (NGN) | Refund eligible within 14 days | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter / Basic | ₦5,000 - ₦8,000 | Full refund | Entry-level accounting features. |
| Standard / Plus | ₦12,000 - ₦18,000 | Full refund | Multi-user access, advanced invoicing. |
| Professional / Premium | ₦25,000 - ₦35,000 | Full refund | API access, custom integrations, priority support. |
| Annual prepayment (any tier) | ₦60,000 - ₦120,000 | Full refund | Annual billing does not waive your 14-day right. Calculate a pro-rata refund from the cancellation date. |
| Setup or onboarding fee | ₦3,000 - ₦10,000 (one-off) | Refundable if subscription cancelled within 14 days | Some vendors claim setup fees are non-refundable. Under FCCPA, they are refundable if the service was not delivered as promised. |
| Add-on or module (e.g., payroll, CRM) | ₦5,000 - ₦12,000 (monthly) | Full refund | Add-ons activated within the 14-day window are fully refundable. |
Timeline and what to expect after cancellation
Cancellation does not happen instantly. Understanding the timeline protects you from confusion and helps you identify delays that warrant escalation.
Immediate steps (day 1-2)
Once you submit your cancellation request via your account dashboard or email, Flexi should acknowledge receipt within 24 hours. If you received no acknowledgement email after 24 hours, send a follow-up email marked "URGENT: Cancellation Confirmation Required" and copy the message to Flexi's support team via a second contact method if possible.
Processing period (day 3-10)
Flexi processes your cancellation and prepares your refund. During this period, you should see no new charges on your account. If a charge appears during the processing period, contact Flexi immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation number. The company must halt all billing once cancellation is confirmed.
Refund arrival (day 11-14)
The refund is processed to your original payment method. Bank transfers and card refunds typically take 3 to 5 working days to arrive, depending on your bank. If you subscribed via Google Play or Apple App Store, refunds may take longer (up to 14 days). Check your bank statement or card activity under "Pending Transactions" to see if the refund is in progress.
After 14 days
If no refund has appeared 14 working days after your cancellation request, escalate to the FCCPC. At this point, Flexi is in breach of consumer protection law. Document all evidence: cancellation confirmation, email correspondence, and bank statements showing no refund. The FCCPC can issue a compliance order and penalty against Flexi.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Flexi
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the procedure, but small errors can delay your refund or weaken your position if you need to escalate.
Mistake 1: confusing "pause" with "cancel"
Flexi may offer a "Pause Subscription" option that suspends your account for 30 days but does not cancel it. Pausing does not trigger your refund right and leaves you liable for charges when the pause ends. Always select "Cancel" or "Withdraw", never "Pause", unless you genuinely intend to resume later.
Mistake 2: cancelling after day 14
Your 14-day cooling-off period is absolute. If you cancel on day 15, you forfeit your automatic refund right. Flexi may still refund you as a goodwill gesture, but they are not legally obliged to. Count carefully from your confirmation email date and cancel before the deadline expires.
Mistake 3: not preserving evidence
Do not rely on memory or Flexi's email archives alone. Take screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, your account settings page showing "Subscription Cancelled", and any refund reference numbers. Save all emails in a folder marked "Flexi Cancellation". This evidence is invaluable if you need to escalate to the FCCPC.
Mistake 4: paying via a third-party app store but contacting only Flexi
If you subscribed via Google Play or Apple App Store, Flexi is not your direct payment processor. Contacting Flexi alone will not trigger a refund. You must cancel through the app store itself. After cancelling via the app store, you can follow up with Flexi if charges continue.
Mistake 5: assuming non-use means automatic refund
Even if you never used Flexi, the company will not refund you without a formal cancellation request. Inactivity does not equal cancellation. You must actively submit your withdrawal request in writing (or via the dashboard) and document it.
What happens to your data after cancellation
A legitimate concern when cancelling accounting software is the fate of your financial records. Here is what you need to know.
Data retention and export rights
Before you cancel, export or back up all your data (invoices, ledgers, transaction records, customer information). Flexi should provide an export function in your account settings. If no export option exists or fails to work, contact Flexi support and request a manual data export before your cancellation takes effect. This is not a legal requirement, but it protects your business continuity.
Post-cancellation access
Once your subscription is cancelled, you lose access to the Flexi platform. Your account may remain dormant for 30 to 90 days before Flexi deletes your data. If you need to retrieve information after cancellation, ask Flexi in writing to preserve your account temporarily or to send you a full data dump. Yafee recommends doing this before you formally cancel.
Refund policy and payment method rules
Flexi's refund process depends on your original payment method and the timing of your request.
Direct payment (credit card, debit card, or bank transfer)
Refunds to credit or debit cards appear as credits within 5 to 10 working days. Your bank may show the transaction as "PENDING" for 2 to 3 days before the credit settles. Bank transfer refunds take longer (7 to 14 working days) depending on your bank's clearing process. If a refund does not appear within the expected timeframe, contact both Flexi and your bank to trace the transaction.
App store refunds (Google play and apple app store)
Google Play and Apple process refunds separately from Flexi. These refunds can take 5 to 14 working days and depend on your device's region and your payment method on file with the app store. Check your Google Play or Apple ID account for refund status before contacting Flexi. If the app store has processed the refund but your bank has not received it, escalate to your bank, not to Flexi.
Partial refunds and pro-rata calculations
If you cancel after using Flexi for a few days, Flexi may offer a pro-rata refund covering only the unused portion of your billing period. For example, if you paid ₦12,000 for 30 days and cancelled on day 10, you might receive ₦8,000 back (20 unused days). This is legal if you genuinely used the service. However, if you merely registered and viewed the dashboard, you are entitled to a full refund. Yafee advises requesting a full refund first, and if Flexi insists on pro-rata, escalate to the FCCPC for review.
Escalation to the FCCPC if Flexi refuses
If Flexi ignores your cancellation request, denies your refund illegally, or ceases communication, escalate to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.
Filing a formal complaint with the FCCPC
The FCCPC accepts complaints from Nigerian consumers regarding breaches of the FCCPA. Your complaint should include the following:
- Your full name, phone number, and email address.
- A clear description of what happened (subscription purchased, cancellation requested, refund refused).
- The date you purchased Flexi and the date you requested cancellation.
- Copies of all relevant emails, screenshots, and payment receipts.
- Proof of communication attempts with Flexi (forwarded emails, response logs).
- The amount of money at stake in Nigerian Naira (NGN).
Submit your complaint through the FCCPC's official online portal or by mail to their Lagos office. The FCCPC will investigate and may summon Flexi to explain their refusal. If the FCCPC finds in your favour, they can order Flexi to refund you immediately and levy a penalty against the company.
Timeline for FCCPC resolution
The FCCPC typically investigates complaints within 30 to 90 days. This is slower than direct negotiation with Flexi, but it carries legal weight. Once the FCCPC issues a ruling, it is binding, and Flexi must comply or face regulatory action.
Comparison: should you keep or cancel Flexi
Before you cancel, weigh the pros and cons. This table helps you decide whether to stick with Flexi or exit.
| Factor | Keep Flexi | Cancel Flexi |
|---|---|---|
| Cost vs. benefit | Monthly fee is justified by invoicing, reporting, and time saved. | A cheaper or free alternative (Wave, Zoho, Excel) serves your needs better. |
| Team adoption | Your staff actively uses Flexi and is trained on the platform. | Your team has not adopted Flexi after 14 days; adoption resistance is high. |
| Integration | Flexi integrates with your bank, payment processor, or invoicing tool. | Flexi does not integrate with your existing systems; manual workarounds are needed. |
| Support quality | Flexi's customer support is responsive, helpful, and available in your timezone. | Support is slow, evasive, or unavailable; your issues go unresolved. |
| Uptime and reliability | Flexi rarely goes offline; your data is secure and backups are automatic. | Flexi experiences frequent outages; you have lost access to your records during critical periods. |
| Growth phase | You are scaling your business and need more users, custom reports, or API access. | Your business is shrinking or you are consolidating tools; Flexi is redundant now. |
Key steps to remember before you cancel
These steps ensure you cancel cleanly and preserve your legal rights.
- Count your 14 days from your subscription confirmation email date (not login date).
- Export all your financial data and invoices before cancelling.
- Decide whether to cancel via your account dashboard or by email.
- If using the dashboard, take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
- If using email, use a formal tone and reference the FCCPA in your subject line.
- Save all correspondence from Flexi (emails, chat logs, screenshots).
- Verify that no new charges appear on your payment method after 7 days.
- Check your bank or card statement for the refund within 14 working days.
- If no refund arrives after 14 days, escalate to the FCCPC with your evidence.
Contact Flexi directly for cancellation
If your account dashboard does not provide a cancel option, use one of these official contact methods to request cancellation in writing.
Flexi official contact details:
Email: [email protected] or [email protected] (verify these on Flexi's official website before sending)

Flexi's official address and contact details may be updated on their website. Always verify the correct contact method directly from Flexi's official site before submitting your cancellation request. Never rely on third-party contact information.
Final summary: your path to cancellation
Cancelling Flexi in Nigeria is your legal right under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018. You have 14 calendar days to withdraw from the subscription without penalty.
