How to cancel Certifiedketodiet in new zealand and claim your refund rights
What Certifiedketodiet is and why you might want to cancel
Certifiedketodiet is a digital subscription service that delivers ketogenic meal plans, recipes, and lifestyle guidance through a website and mobile applications. Nutrameg Latvia SIA, a Latvian company, operates the service internationally, including in New Zealand. Once you subscribe, you gain immediate access to digital content across multiple platforms.
Because Certifiedketodiet delivers content online rather than physical goods, your cancellation and refund entitlements differ significantly under New Zealand consumer law. Understanding how this service operates, and what protections the Consumer Guarantees Act provides, puts you in a strong position when you decide to leave. Yafee specialises in helping subscribers navigate these distinctions and recover money you may be entitled to.
How you access Certifiedketodiet
You can access Certifiedketodiet content in three ways: directly through the website CertifiedKetoDiet.com, via the Apple App Store on iPhone or iPad, or via Google Play on Android devices. Access begins immediately after you pay and subscribe. This instant delivery is crucial because New Zealand consumer law treats digital content differently from physical products once you have accessed it.
Why cancellation matters for digital subscriptions
Many subscribers sign up intending to trial the service short-term, only to find the recipes repetitive, the approach misaligned with their goals, or the monthly cost unjustifiable. Unlike physical goods, you cannot return digital content for a standard refund once you have accessed it. However, New Zealand law still protects you in specific circumstances, and Yafee is here to explain exactly where you stand and what steps to take next.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
The Consumer Guarantees Act is the legal framework that protects you when you purchase goods or services, including digital subscriptions.
The right of withdrawal for digital goods
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a contract after you receive it. However, digital content falls under an important exception. Once you have accessed digital content such as meal plans, recipes, or video guidance, you lose the right to withdraw and claim a refund simply because you changed your mind. This applies whether you subscribed via the website or via an app store.
The law treats access as the moment you can download, stream, or view the content. After that point, statutory withdrawal rights cease.
When Certifiedketodiet must refund you
The company must provide a refund or credit if the digital content is faulty, misleading, or significantly different from what was described when you purchased it. Examples include:
- The app crashes repeatedly on launch.
- Meal plans contain incorrect nutritional information.
- The service does not deliver what Certifiedketodiet advertised on the sales page.
- The content is incomplete or inaccessible without reasonable cause.
Gather evidence before contacting support: take screenshots, save error messages, or write detailed descriptions of what went wrong. Refund requests for faults must be raised within 24 hours of when you received the service or became aware of the problem, whichever is sooner. The company may ask you to prove the fault, so keep detailed records.
Your legal position
You have a statutory right to a refund or credit if Certifiedketodiet has failed to provide the service as described or if the content is faulty. This right exists regardless of the company's standard terms and conditions. Your entitlement rests on the Consumer Guarantees Act, not the company's goodwill. Yafee recommends documenting all communication with support to demonstrate you raised the issue promptly and reasonably.
Escalation to the commerce commission
If Certifiedketodiet refuses to refund you for a faulty or misleading service, and you have a valid claim under the Consumer Guarantees Act, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission. The Commission is New Zealand's consumer protection authority and has the power to investigate unfair trading practices and compel refunds. Visit comcom.govt.nz to submit a formal complaint if the company ignores your requests or disputes your position without valid grounds.
How to cancel Certifiedketodiet depending on where you subscribed
Your cancellation process depends entirely on whether you subscribed via the website, Apple App Store, or Google Play.
Cancel via the Certifiedketodiet website
- Log in to your account at CertifiedKetoDiet.com using your email and password.
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management, typically found in the top-right menu or under My Account.
- Select Manage Subscription or Billing.
- Look for Cancel Subscription or Unsubscribe. Click this option.
- Complete any confirmation steps the system requests. Some sites ask for cancellation feedback or offer a discount to retain you; you may ignore these prompts.
- Request a confirmation email from the company confirming the cancellation date and any refund entitlements.
Retain all confirmation messages and screenshots. If the website interface is unclear or you cannot locate the cancel button, contact the support team directly (details below) and request written confirmation of cancellation.
Cancel via apple app store (iPhone or iPad)
- Open the Apple App Store app on your device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find Certifiedketodiet in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Edit Subscription or Manage Subscription.
- Choose Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation. Apple will typically allow you to keep access until your current billing cycle ends.
Apple will send a confirmation email to your registered Apple ID email address. Retain this email as proof of cancellation. Note that cancelling via Apple App Store does not automatically cancel your website account, so Yafee recommends also cancelling directly on the website if you have a separate login.
Cancel via google play (Android devices)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Payments and Subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Certifiedketodiet and tap it.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- Follow any prompts to confirm. Google typically allows you access until the current billing cycle completes.
Google will send a confirmation email to your Google account email address. Save this email. As with Apple, cancelling via Google Play does not automatically cancel a separate website account, so contact the company directly if you also have a login at CertifiedKetoDiet.com.
Cancel via email or support ticket
If you cannot access your account, the cancellation button is missing, or you encounter technical issues, contact Certifiedketodiet support directly. Send an email to the company's support address (typically [email protected] or a contact form on the website) and include:
- Your full name and email address registered to the account.
- Your subscription start date and current billing date.
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription and wish to explore my refund rights under New Zealand consumer law."
- Your preferred resolution (immediate cancellation, prorated refund, credit, etc.).
Send this via a method that generates a read receipt or response confirmation. Yafee recommends keeping copies of all correspondence.
Refund entitlements and timeline
Your refund depends on the reason for cancellation and when you request it.
Refunds for change of mind
If you cancel within 14 days of purchase without accessing the content, you may qualify for a refund under the Consumer Guarantees Act's withdrawal right. Once you have accessed the digital content, this right expires. In practice, most digital subscriptions are accessed immediately, so this window is narrow.
Refunds for faulty or misleading service
If the service is faulty or not as described, you can request a refund at any point. The company is legally required to remedy the fault or provide a full refund or credit. Expect the company to ask for evidence of the fault. Respond promptly with screenshots, error logs, or detailed descriptions. The company must respond to your refund claim within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5-10 working days in practice, though the law does not specify an exact deadline).
Refund processing and timing
Once the company approves a refund, processing time depends on the payment method:
| Payment method |
Typical refund time |
| Credit or debit card |
3-5 working days |
| PayPal or digital wallet |
1-3 working days |
| Direct bank transfer |
2-5 working days |
| App Store (Apple or Google) |
5-10 working days |
If a refund does not appear within the timeframe stated by the company, follow up in writing. Yafee advises documenting each communication step so that if you escalate to the Commerce Commission, you have a complete record of your attempts to resolve the matter.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward once you know what to do, and avoiding these pitfalls keeps your claim strong if you later need to escalate.
Mistake 1: cancelling only via the app store and not the website
If you have a separate account at CertifiedKetoDiet.com, cancelling via Apple App Store or Google Play does not automatically cancel your website subscription. You may continue to be billed through both channels. Always cancel in all places you subscribed.
Mistake 2: not requesting written confirmation
A verbal cancellation or a single email is not enough. Request written confirmation from the company confirming the exact cancellation date and any refund entitlements. Without this, you have no proof if a dispute arises.
Mistake 3: not documenting the fault before cancelling
If you are cancelling due to a faulty service, take screenshots and save error messages immediately. Once you cancel, the company may argue it is too late for you to claim the fault. Document the problem before you initiate cancellation.
Mistake 4: accepting a partial refund or credit without exploring your full rights
If the service is faulty or misleading, you may be entitled to a full refund, not just a partial one or store credit. Understand your position under the Consumer Guarantees Act before accepting the first offer the company makes.
Mistake 5: missing the 24-hour window for fault-based claims
If you want to claim a refund because the service is faulty, raise the issue within 24 hours of discovering the problem. After that, the company may argue you have accepted the service. Yafee recommends contacting support immediately if you encounter a technical issue or notice the content does not match the description.
After cancellation what happens next
Cancellation does not end instantly in all cases, and knowing what to expect prevents confusion.
Access after cancellation
Most digital subscriptions allow you to retain access until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you subscribed on the 15th of the month and cancel on the 20th, you typically keep access until the end of that month. Check the company's confirmation email to confirm your final access date.
Future billing
Once you cancel, the company must not charge you again. If you are charged after cancellation, contact your payment provider (bank, Apple, or Google) and dispute the transaction as unauthorised. The payment provider can reverse the charge and may refund you within 10 working days.
Account data and deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically delete your account. If you wish to have your personal data removed, contact the company separately and request data deletion under the Privacy Act 2020. The company must respond within 20 working days.
Pricing and subscription tiers
Understanding what you pay helps you calculate refund entitlements accurately.

If the company does not respond or refuses your cancellation or refund request, use the following escalation routes.
Direct contact with Certifiedketodiet
Certifiedketodiet operates from a Latvian entity, Nutrameg Latvia SIA. While the company may not have a New Zealand postal address, you can reach support via:
Always send cancellation and refund requests via email to create a written record. Include your full name, email, subscription dates, and the reason for cancellation.
Escalation to the commerce commission
If Certifiedketodiet ignores your refund request or disputes your claim without legal justification, lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission:
- Website: comcom.govt.nz
- Online complaint form: available at comcom.govt.nz/contact
- Address: Commerce Commission, PO Box 13250, Tauranga 3141, New Zealand
The Commission will investigate whether the company has breached the Consumer Guarantees Act or engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct. Include all written correspondence with the company, evidence of the fault (if applicable), and your request for resolution.
Payment provider dispute
If you paid via credit card, PayPal, or an app store, you can initiate a dispute with your payment provider. They have the power to reverse unauthorised charges and conduct their own investigation. Contact your bank or payment provider directly if the company refuses to refund you after the 24-hour fault window or beyond.
