How to cancel Dreamface in nigeria and protect your subscription rights
What Dreamface is and why cancellation matters in nigeria
Dreamface is a mobile face-editing application that delivers filters, effects, and premium features through iOS and Android subscriptions or one-time payments. The app operates within Apple App Store and Google Play Store ecosystems, meaning the app stores-not Dreamface directly-process your billing and manage your subscription lifecycle. This distinction proves critical when you attempt to cancel, because your cancellation route runs through your device's native app store, not Dreamface's customer service.
You may cancel Dreamface for legitimate reasons: you discovered a superior alternative, your financial circumstances changed, or the app no longer serves your creative needs. Whatever your motivation, Yafee guides you through the legal framework and practical steps to end your subscription cleanly and recover charges if the service failed to deliver. As a Nigerian consumer, you hold enforceable rights under federal law-Yafee ensures you exercise them correctly.
How Dreamface subscriptions function
When you subscribe to Dreamface, you select from weekly, annual, or lifetime plans. Your payment flows through either Apple App Store (for iPhone and iPad) or Google Play Store (for Android devices). The app store handles billing, renewal notifications, and payment collection. Dreamface itself does not maintain your payment method or process refunds directly. This intermediary structure means you cancel and seek refunds through your app store account, not through Dreamface's website or customer support.
Subscription tiers available to nigerian users
Dreamface offers pricing flexibility across multiple tiers. Weekly subscriptions renew every seven days automatically. Annual plans commit you for a full 12 months. Premium and lifetime options grant permanent or extended access without recurring charges. Understanding which plan you hold is essential before you cancel, because the cancellation method and refund eligibility may vary by plan type and renewal date.
Your consumer rights under nigerian law
Federal law in Nigeria establishes clear protections for consumers purchasing digital subscriptions, including Dreamface. You must know these rights before you cancel, because they form the legal foundation for your claim if the company refuses cancellation or denies a refund.
The federal competition and consumer protection act (FCCPA) 2018
Nigeria's FCCPA 2018 prohibits unfair contract terms, automatic renewals without clear consent, and misleading billing practices. The law mandates that service providers disclose subscription terms, renewal dates, and cancellation procedures in plain language before you pay. If Dreamface or the app store fails to make cancellation straightforward, or if charges appear after you cancelled, the FCCPA gives you grounds to dispute the transaction with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
Furthermore, the FCCPA requires that cancellation be as easy as subscription. If you subscribed with three taps on your phone, the law expects cancellation to require similarly minimal steps. Deviating from this principle violates consumer protection standards.
Your legal right to cancel and seek refunds
Under the FCCPA, you possess the right to cancel a subscription within a reasonable timeframe-particularly if the service failed to meet advertised standards or if cancellation procedures were not clearly disclosed at purchase. While refund entitlements depend partly on app store policies (Apple and Google maintain separate guidelines), you can escalate complaints to the FCCPC if either Dreamface or the app store denies a refund without reasonable cause.
Your legal position: You can cancel Dreamface at any time. Refunds depend on how long you have used the service and when you request the refund relative to your renewal date. If you cancel before your renewal, you avoid future charges. If you cancel after being charged, you may request a refund under the FCCPA if you demonstrate that the service did not perform as advertised or that cancellation was not clearly explained upfront. Yafee recommends documenting all communication with the app store regarding your cancellation and refund request.
When and why you should cancel Dreamface
Identifying the right moment to cancel prevents wasted money and protects your bank account from unexpected recurring charges. Yafee helps you recognise the signs that cancellation is your best decision.
Clear signals that cancellation makes sense
Cancel Dreamface immediately if you have not opened the app in four weeks or longer. Cancel if the premium features underperformed or failed to match the advertised functionality. Cancel if the monthly or annual cost no longer aligns with your budget, even if you use the app occasionally. Some users cancel when they locate a free alternative with comparable or superior filters. Others cancel once they complete the one-time project they subscribed for. There is no penalty for cancelling; Yafee supports informed decisions about your spending.
Timing your cancellation to avoid unwanted charges
Check your app store account now to locate your subscription renewal date. If renewal occurs on the 15th of next month, cancel within the next three to five days to stop the charge. Most app stores display the renewal date prominently in your subscription settings. If your renewal date has already passed, cancel immediately to prevent the next cycle. After you cancel, verify that the app store confirms the cancellation with a confirmation message or email receipt.
How to cancel Dreamface on iOS devices (Apple app store)
If you subscribed via iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's App Store settings. The cancellation process takes fewer than five minutes and requires no contact with Dreamface directly.

Refund eligibility and how to request one in nigeria
Refund policies for app subscriptions in Nigeria are governed by app store guidelines and the FCCPA. Yafee explains your options and the correct escalation process if the app store denies your refund claim.
When you qualify for a refund under FCCPA rules
You qualify for a refund if: you cancelled within 48 hours of your initial purchase (the "cooling-off period" under consumer protection law); the app failed to deliver the advertised features; or Dreamface's cancellation procedure was not clearly communicated before you paid. Additionally, if you discover that Dreamface uses deceptive billing practices-such as hiding the renewal date or making cancellation intentionally difficult-the FCCPC will order a refund.
Consequently, document every interaction with Dreamface and the app store. Save screenshots of the subscription page, the cancellation page, and any error messages. These records strengthen your refund claim if you must escalate to the FCCPC.
How to request a refund from apple app store
- Go to apps.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID.
- Navigate to Account Settings and select Purchase History.
- Find the Dreamface charge you wish to refund and click the three-dot menu icon.
- Select Report a Problem and choose "I would like a refund for this purchase."
- Explain your reason concisely: "The app did not match the advertised features" or "I cancelled but was charged anyway."
- Submit your request. Apple typically responds within 48 hours.
How to request a refund from google play store
- Open Google Play and navigate to your Account menu.
- Select Payments and subscriptions, then Purchase history.
- Find the Dreamface charge and tap it to view details.
- Tap Report a problem and select the reason: non-delivery, billing error, or duplicate charge.
- Write a brief explanation of why you deserve a refund.
- Submit the form. Google typically processes responses within 72 hours.
Escalating to the FCCPC if the app store refuses your refund
If Apple or Google denies your refund without valid reason, file a complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). The FCCPC enforces the FCCPA and has authority to order app stores and app developers to issue refunds and pay penalties. Yafee recommends including the following in your FCCPC complaint:
- Your full name, email, and phone number.
- The name of the app (Dreamface) and the app store (Apple or Google).
- The transaction amount in NGN and the transaction date.
- Screenshots of your cancellation request and the app store's refusal.
- A clear explanation of why the app store's decision violates the FCCPA (deceptive billing, unclear cancellation, service failure, or duplicate charges).
Submit your complaint to the FCCPC online at fccpc.gov.ng or contact their customer service hotline. The FCCPC typically investigates within 14 days and can order a refund, damages, or both.

After cancellation: what to expect and verify
Once you cancel Dreamface, your subscription ends, but understanding what happens next prevents confusion and protects you from unexpected charges.
Your access and the grace period
In most cases, you retain access to Dreamface's premium features until your current billing period ends. If you cancel on the 10th and your renewal was scheduled for the 20th, you can still use the premium features for those ten days. After the 20th passes without a new charge, your access reverts to the free tier (if one exists), or the app may become unusable depending on Dreamface's policy.
Verifying that future charges have stopped
One week after cancellation, log back into your app store account (Apple or Google) and confirm that Dreamface no longer appears in your active subscriptions list. It should only appear in your "Expired Subscriptions" or "Cancelled" section. Monitor your bank account or payment method for the next two billing cycles to ensure no charges reappear. If a charge appears after you cancelled, contact your bank immediately and report the duplicate or unauthorised charge to the FCCPC.
Reinstalling the app if you cancel
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically uninstall Dreamface from your device. You can keep the app installed and use its free features. If you choose to uninstall, navigate to Settings (iOS) or App Settings (Android) and delete the app. Yafee notes that uninstalling and later reinstalling does not restart your subscription unless you actively resubscribe-cancellation is permanent until you choose to resubscribe.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancelling Dreamface is straightforward, yet many consumers make preventable errors that delay refunds or fail to stop charges. Yafee helps you avoid these traps and protect your money.
Mistake 1: attempting to cancel through Dreamface instead of the app store
You cannot cancel a Dreamface subscription via Dreamface's website or customer support. The app store owns the billing relationship, not Dreamface. If you contact Dreamface directly asking to cancel, they will redirect you to Apple or Google. Always cancel through your app store account settings, not through the app itself.
Mistake 2: deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Uninstalling Dreamface does not cancel your subscription. Your payment method will still be charged on your renewal date. The app store tracks subscriptions independently of whether the app remains on your device. Delete the app only after confirming the subscription is cancelled in your app store settings.
Mistake 3: ignoring your renewal date until after you are charged
If you wait until after your renewal to cancel, you have already paid for the next billing cycle. While you may request a refund, the app store may deny it if more than 48 hours have passed. Check your renewal date today and cancel at least three days before that date to avoid unnecessary charges.
Mistake 4: losing your cancellation proof
Screenshot your cancellation confirmation immediately and save the email receipt from Apple or Google. If you later dispute a charge with the FCCPC or your bank, you will need proof that you cancelled on a specific date. Without documentation, your claim weakens. Yafee recommends creating a dedicated folder on your phone for all subscription-related receipts and confirmations.
Mistake 5: not checking for duplicate charges after cancellation
Some billing systems experience delays or glitches. A subscription you cancelled may still generate a charge days or weeks later. Monitor your bank or payment method statement for 30 days after cancellation. If a duplicate charge appears, contact your bank to dispute it and simultaneously file a complaint with the FCCPC citing the app store's failure to stop charges after cancellation.

Dreamface customer support contact details
Dreamface may operate under DreamLabs Nigeria Limited or a related entity. While Dreamface does not manage subscriptions directly, you may contact the company via:
- Email: Check the app's "Help" or "Contact Us" section for a support email address.
- In-app messaging: Some versions of Dreamface include an in-app contact form or support chat feature.
- Office address: If you require a postal address for formal complaints, document requests to DreamLabs Nigeria Limited should be sent to their registered office (address available through Nigeria's Corporate Affairs Commission registration database).
Federal competition and consumer protection commission (FCCPC) escalation
If neither Dreamface nor the app store resolves your complaint, file a formal complaint with the FCCPC:
- Online portal: Visit fccpc.gov.ng and submit your complaint through their consumer complaint portal.
- Email: Contact the FCCPC at [email protected] with your full complaint, evidence, and copies of all communications with the app store.
- Telephone: Call the FCCPC's consumer hotline for guidance on filing a complaint.
- Processing time: Expect a response within 14-21 days. The FCCPC will investigate and, if warranted, order the app store or Dreamface to issue a refund and pay penalties.
Bank and payment dispute options
If the FCCPC's process moves slowly and you face urgent financial hardship, contact your bank directly. Most banks in Nigeria accept disputes for "unauthorised charges" or "charges after cancellation." Your bank can freeze or reverse the charge within 7-14 days while they investigate. Provide your cancellation confirmation email to the bank as evidence. Yafee recommends pursuing both the FCCPC and bank routes simultaneously for faster resolution.
