How to cancel your Livegood membership and recover your money in new zealand

What Livegood is and why you might want to cancel

Livegood is a membership-based wellness platform that sells nutritional supplements and health products at discounted prices to members across New Zealand. You join by paying a one-time membership fee, which grants access to wholesale pricing and an optional affiliate program. If you've enrolled and now wish to exit, you hold clear consumer rights under New Zealand law, and Yafee is here to guide you through every step.

Your reasons for cancelling are legitimate-whether the products haven't delivered results, the recurring charges strain your budget, or you've discovered better value elsewhere. Understanding your cancellation options and acting within statutory timeframes protects your money and your legal standing.

Common reasons to cancel Livegood

You might cancel if monthly charges no longer fit your finances, product quality disappoints, or you prefer to purchase wellness items independently. Livegood operates refund windows for both memberships and unopened products, so timing your cancellation correctly can mean the difference between recovering your funds and forfeiting them. The sooner you act, the stronger your position.

How Livegood memberships work

Livegood sells memberships through three channels: their main website, the Apple App Store, and Google Play. Your signup method determines your cancellation route-cancelling through the wrong channel will leave you still charged. This critical distinction is why Yafee has built this guide: to ensure you cancel via the correct platform and avoid costly delays.

Your consumer rights under new zealand law

New Zealand consumer protection is grounded in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986, which protect you regardless of whether you purchased from a New Zealand or overseas business.

Your legal position

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, goods must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and as described. If Livegood products fail to meet these standards, or if the company fails to honour its cancellation terms, you have the right to demand a refund, repair, or replacement. Furthermore, the Fair Trading Act 1986 prohibits misleading conduct, hidden charges, and unfair contract terms. If Livegood continues billing you after cancellation, this constitutes breach of contract and may trigger enforcement action by the Commerce Commission. Consequently, document every cancellation email and keep all payment records-this evidence protects you if disputes arise.

Refund entitlements and timeframes

New Zealand law does not mandate a statutory cooling-off period for all online purchases; however, many retailers, including Livegood, voluntarily offer 14 to 30-day money-back windows. Check your order confirmation email for Livegood's refund policy. If you cancel within that window and return unopened products to the US address (the only option Livegood provides), you are entitled to a full refund of the product cost, though international shipping may be non-refundable. Your membership fee itself is typically non-refundable after the first 30 days, unless products were faulty or misrepresented.

Cancellation methods for Livegood memberships

Cancellation routes depend on where you originally signed up; each platform requires a different approach.

Cancel via the Livegood website

If you enrolled directly through livegood.com, you must request cancellation by email. Livegood does not offer online account portals or automatic cancellation buttons for website signups. This means you cannot self-serve; you must contact the company directly and retain proof of your request.

Cancel via apple app store

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, Apple manages your billing and renewal. You do not cancel directly with Livegood; instead, you modify or cancel your App Store subscription through your Apple account settings. This separation is important: Apple processes the cancellation, not Livegood, so your refund dispute runs through Apple's system.

Cancel via google play

Similarly, if you joined via Google Play, Google controls your subscription and billing cycle. Cancellation happens in your Google Play account, not through Livegood's system. Once cancelled, Google stops charging you and processes any eligible refunds according to Google's refund policy.

Step-by-step cancellation process

Follow the procedure that matches your signup method to ensure your cancellation is registered and honoured.

Step one: identify where you signed up

Retrieve your order confirmation and signup email. Check the sender address and payment method. Yafee advises you to note the exact date you joined and the amount you paid-this information is critical if you later dispute a charge or claim a refund.

Step two: email Livegood for website-based memberships

If you signed up on livegood.com:

1. Compose a clear cancellation email to Livegood's customer support address. Address this formally: "I request immediate cancellation of my Livegood membership effective today."
2. Include your full name, email address associated with your account, and membership number (if available).
3. State the exact date you joined and the amount you have been charged.
4. Request written confirmation of cancellation and confirmation that no further charges will be processed.
5. Send the email and take a screenshot of the sent message and timestamp.
6. Save Livegood's reply in a separate folder for your records. Do not delete these emails.

In accordance with professional practice, contact Livegood at their email support channel. Yafee recommends sending your request during New Zealand business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm NZDT) to maximise response time. If Livegood does not respond within 5 business days, escalate to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's consumer protection authority.

Step three: cancel through apple app store

If you signed up via Apple App Store:

1. Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Subscriptions".
3. Find the Livegood subscription in your active subscriptions list.
4. Tap on it and select "Cancel Subscription".
5. Apple will prompt you to confirm; select "Confirm Cancellation".
6. Apple sends you a cancellation confirmation email. Retain this email as your proof of cancellation.

Apple processes your final payment immediately and stops all future charges. You retain access to Livegood until the end of your current billing period, after which your account closes. If you paid for a month and then cancelled, you remain a member until that month expires; Yafee notes this is standard across app store subscriptions.

Step four: cancel through google play

If you signed up via Google Play:

1. Open Google Play on your Android device or visit play.google.com in a web browser.
2. Tap your profile icon and select "Manage your Google Account".
3. Navigate to the "Payments and subscriptions" tab, then select "Subscriptions".
4. Choose Livegood from your active subscriptions.
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your cancellation.
6. Google sends a confirmation email. Save this as your cancellation proof.

Google immediately halts future charges and provides a refund window of up to 48 hours from cancellation, depending on your Google account settings. If you cancel within that window, Google refunds your most recent payment. After 48 hours, the payment is final.

After you cancel: what happens next

Cancellation does not end instantly; understanding the post-cancellation timeline protects you from unexpected charges.

Immediate actions after submitting cancellation

Once you cancel, monitor your bank account and email for confirmation. You should receive a cancellation confirmation within 2 to 7 business days-sooner if you cancelled via Apple or Google (which respond automatically). If you received no confirmation after 7 days, contact Livegood again and include the date and content of your first cancellation email. Nevertheless, do not assume silence means cancellation; verify your subscription status directly by checking your app store account or attempting a dummy purchase (which will fail if your subscription is cancelled).

Check your next billing date

Open your Livegood account and verify the next billing date. If cancellation succeeded, this date should vanish or show "No upcoming payment". If a billing date remains, your cancellation did not process; contact Livegood immediately. Yafee recommends you set a phone reminder for 3 days after your expected final billing cycle to confirm no extra charge appears.

Monitor your bank and card statements

Review your bank or credit card statement 3 to 5 days after your cancellation date. Watch for any Livegood charge. If a charge appears after cancellation, dispute it immediately with your bank and provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank can reverse unauthorized or duplicate charges within 90 days.

Refunds and how to claim them

Refund eligibility depends on what you purchased, when you purchased it, and whether you remain within Livegood's refund window.

Product refunds within 30 days

If you bought Livegood products and wish to return unopened, unused items within 30 days of purchase, you are entitled to a refund of the product cost (minus shipping). To claim:

1. Email Livegood with your order number and the reason for return.
2. Livegood will provide a US return address (Livegood operates from the United States; New Zealand does not have a local returns centre).
3. Ship the unopened product to the US address at your own expense. International postage is not refundable.
4. Once Livegood receives and inspects your return, they issue a refund within 10 to 14 business days.
5. The refund is credited to your original payment method.

In accordance with Livegood's terms, opened or partially used products are not refundable. If the product arrived damaged or defective, photograph it immediately and email Livegood with images-defective goods may qualify for a refund without return.

Membership fee refunds

Your one-time membership fee is typically non-refundable after 30 days. If you cancel within 30 days of signup and have not yet used significant benefits, contact Livegood and request a membership refund, citing the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 if the products were misrepresented. Success is not guaranteed, but Yafee has seen companies honour courtesy refunds when customers escalate politely and cite consumer law.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Cancellations can go wrong, but awareness is your shield. Yafee has identified the traps most New Zealand consumers fall into.

Mistake one: cancelling through the wrong channel

You sign up via Google Play but email Livegood asking to cancel. Livegood replies that you must cancel through Google Play-meanwhile, Google does not receive your request, and charges continue. Prevent this by confirming your signup method before cancelling and using the correct channel immediately. Do not rely on Livegood to redirect you; take control of the process yourself.

Mistake two: deleting confirmation emails before refund posts

You cancel and then empty your email trash folder. Weeks later, you dispute a charge, but you have no cancellation confirmation to show your bank. Instead, preserve every email-create a folder named "Cancellations" and archive your entire exchange with Livegood. Your bank cannot reverse charges without documented proof that you cancelled.

Mistake three: assuming silence means success

You email Livegood to cancel but receive no reply. You assume the cancellation is done. Two weeks later, another charge hits your account. Prevent this: set a calendar alert to check your subscription status 5 days after cancellation. If Livegood has not confirmed, send a follow-up email marked "URGENT: Cancellation Confirmation Required by [date]". Escalate to the Commerce Commission if Livegood ignores you after two requests.

Mistake four: not requesting written confirmation

You call Livegood (if a phone line is available) and ask to cancel verbally. The agent says yes, but you receive no email confirmation. Later, disputes arise about whether you ever called. Always request written confirmation-email is evidence; phone calls are not. Consequently, always follow a phone conversation with a confirmation email: "This confirms our conversation of [date] regarding my membership cancellation."

Pricing, membership tiers, and cost comparison

Understanding what you pay helps you decide whether cancellation or continuation makes financial sense.

Monthly product subscriptions typically range from $79 to $199 NZD, depending on the bundle. If you signed up for both a membership and a recurring product order, you must cancel both separately-cancelling only the membership leaves your product subscription active. Yafee advises you to verify whether you have one or two active subscriptions before cancelling.

What to do if Livegood refuses to cancel

Occasionally, companies ignore cancellation requests or claim they never received them. You have legal remedies.

Step one: written escalation to Livegood

Send a second cancellation email, this time marked "FINAL NOTICE: Membership Cancellation Request and Payment Dispute". Include the date of your original cancellation email and state that you are treating continued charges as unauthorised billing. Request a response within 5 business days. Send this email via a method that provides delivery confirmation (e.g., Gmail's "Request read receipt" or use a registered email service).

Step two: dispute the charge with your bank

If Livegood continues charging you after your cancellation request, contact your bank or credit card provider immediately. File a dispute claiming "Unauthorised or continued billing after cancellation". Provide your cancellation email and any refusal from Livegood. Your bank can freeze the transaction, reverse it, and reissue your money within 10 to 20 business days. In accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and banking codes, your bank must investigate within this timeframe.

Step three: escalate to the commerce commission

If your bank dispute fails or Livegood challenges it, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz). The Commerce Commission enforces the Fair Trading Act 1986 and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 in New Zealand. Provide:

• Your name, email, and account details;
• Copies of your cancellation emails and Livegood's responses (or lack thereof);
• Your bank statements showing the charges;
• Copies of your dispute with your bank.

The Commerce Commission can issue compliance notices, demand refunds on your behalf, and pursue enforcement action. Yafee notes that international companies often comply quickly once a regulatory authority becomes involved, as the reputational and legal costs exceed the disputed amount.

Keeping vs. cancelling: a practical comparison

Before you cancel, weigh the benefits you receive against the cost. This table may clarify your decision.

If you keep your membership, set a quarterly budget review. Cancel if charges creep beyond your plan. If you cancel, Yafee advises you to bookmark this guide so you can reinstate membership later without confusion.

How to contact Livegood for cancellation requests

Livegood does not publish a direct postal address for New Zealand customers. All cancellation requests must be submitted via email to their support inbox. Product returns must be shipped to the United States at your own expense; Livegood does not maintain a New Zealand returns centre.

Email support for membership cancellation

Send your cancellation request to Livegood's customer support email address (available on their website under "Contact Us"). Begin your subject line with "CANCELLATION REQUEST" in capital letters. Include your membership number, full name, email address, and the date you joined. State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my membership, effective today. Please confirm this cancellation and confirm that no further charges will be processed to my account."

Product return address (United states)

Livegood's returns processing centre is located in the United States. Request the exact return address from Livegood via email before shipping any products. International postage is non-refundable; you bear the cost of return shipping. Package unopened products securely, include your order number, and consider using tracked international mail. Allow 4 to 6 weeks for your refund to process once Livegood receives your return.

Escalation contacts

If Livegood ignores your cancellation request, escalate to:

• Commerce Commission: comcom.govt.nz or call 0800 943 600. File a complaint online or by phone if Livegood continues billing after cancellation or refuses to process a refund.
• Your bank or credit card issuer: Dispute any unauthorised charge directly with your financial institution within 90 days of the charge.
• Citizens Advice Bureau: cab.org.nz. Free advisory service if you need guidance on your consumer rights.

Conclusion: your path to cancellation

Cancelling your Livegood membership is straightforward if you follow the correct channel and retain proof of your request. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986 protect you as a New Zealand consumer, even when purchasing from overseas companies. Act quickly: use the step-by-step process outlined above, save every confirmation email, and monitor your account to ensure no unauthorised charges continue.

If Livegood refuses to cancel or continues billing you, escalate to the Commerce Commission-they enforce consumer law across New Zealand and have authority over international businesses operating here. Your refund rights are strong; persistence and documentation are your tools.
