How to cancel Audiomack in new zealand and protect your rights

What is Audiomack and why you might cancel

Audiomack is a music streaming platform that combines discovery, playlists and creator tools on both free and paid tiers. The service lets you upload tracks, collaborate with other artists and stream millions of songs-with or without advertisements, depending on your subscription level.

You may choose to cancel for practical reasons: you've switched to another streaming service, your listening habits have changed, or the monthly cost no longer suits your budget. Whatever your decision, Yafee helps you navigate cancellation step by step and understand your legal protections as a New Zealand consumer.

Free tier versus premium subscription

Audiomack's free tier lets you stream, create playlists and upload music with ads. Premium removes advertisements, unlocks offline downloads and grants access to enhanced creator analytics. If you use only the free tier, you have no subscription to cancel and no recurring charges.

If you hold a Premium subscription, your account renews automatically each month unless you cancel before your billing date arrives. Cancellation becomes essential once you decide the service no longer provides value.

Why this guide matters for new zealand users

Audiomack operates from the United States and maintains no physical customer service address in New Zealand. You cancel online only; refunds are limited under standard terms. Nevertheless, your rights under New Zealand consumer law-particularly the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993-may override those restrictions and entitle you to compensation or service restoration.

Yafee has guided thousands of New Zealand consumers through subscription cancellations and pursued unfair charges. This guide combines both the technical steps and your statutory protections.

Your consumer rights in new zealand

New Zealand law protects you even when dealing with overseas companies such as Audiomack.

Consumer guarantees act protections

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, all goods and services supplied to you must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose and delivered within a reasonable timeframe. If Audiomack fails to deliver the service you paid for-for instance, if the app repeatedly crashes or offline downloads malfunction-you have grounds to claim a refund or compensation.

These rights apply regardless of what Audiomack's terms state. The Commerce Commission enforces these protections, and if Audiomack refuses to cooperate, you can lodge a complaint with the Commission or contact a free consumer advocacy service.

Your legal position: Audiomack cannot use its terms of service to waive your statutory rights. If the Premium service you purchased does not perform as described or advertised, you retain the right to demand a remedy.

Fair trading act and contract fairness

The Fair Trading Act 1986 prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct. If Audiomack made false claims about features, availability in New Zealand or refund policies, you have recourse under this law. Unfair contract terms-such as "no refunds under any circumstance"-can be challenged and may be unenforceable.

When you contact Audiomack support, remember you are not simply bound by contractual language. Your statutory rights sit above any agreement.

How to cancel Audiomack via web browser

Cancelling through the Audiomack website is the fastest and most reliable method, typically completed in under two minutes.

Step 1: log in to your Audiomack account

Visit audiomack.com and enter your registered email address and password. If you have enabled two-factor authentication, complete that verification step.

Step 2: navigate to account settings

Click your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen. A dropdown menu will appear. Select Account Settings or Manage Subscriptions (exact wording varies by app version).

Step 3: locate your subscription

Scroll to the Subscriptions section. You will see your active Premium plan displayed with its renewal date. Note this date; your cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, not immediately.

Step 4: initiate cancellation

Click Cancel Subscription next to your Premium plan. Audiomack may display a feedback form asking why you are leaving. You may skip this or provide feedback if you wish.

Step 5: confirm and document

A confirmation message will appear on screen stating your subscription is cancelled. Screenshot or save this confirmation to your device or email. This record protects you if a charge appears after your intended cancellation date.

Step 6: verify the cancellation took effect

Log out and log back in after 10 minutes. Return to Account Settings and confirm your Premium status now shows "Cancelled" or displays no active subscription. Your payment method should no longer be charged after your current billing cycle ends.

How to cancel Audiomack via mobile app

Cancellation through the Audiomack mobile app (iOS or Android) follows a similar process to the web version.

Step 1: open the app and log in

Launch Audiomack on your iPhone or Android device and sign in with your email and password.

Step 2: open your profile menu

Tap your profile icon, typically located at the bottom right of the screen. Select My Account, Account Settings or Profile Settings from the menu that appears.

Step 3: find your subscription details

Scroll to Subscriptions or Billing. Your active Premium subscription will be listed with its next renewal date.

Step 4: cancel your subscription

Tap Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription. Audiomack may ask for feedback; you may skip or complete this optional step.

Step 5: save your confirmation

When the confirmation screen appears, take a screenshot showing the cancellation date and confirmation message. Store this image securely on your phone or forward it to your email account.

Step 6: check after 24 hours

Return to Account Settings within 24 hours and verify that your subscription now displays as inactive or cancelled. If you still see Premium as active, contact Audiomack support immediately with your confirmation screenshot.

Pricing and subscription breakdown

Understanding Audiomack's pricing structure helps you calculate whether cancellation makes financial sense.

If you cancel mid-cycle, you retain access to Premium features until the end of your billing period. You will not be charged again after that date unless you resubscribe manually.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation is straightforward, but understanding what occurs after you hit the cancel button removes uncertainty and helps you track your account.

Your access during the grace period

Once you cancel, your Premium subscription remains active through the end of your current billing cycle. If your renewal date is 15 January 2025 and you cancel on 1 January 2025, you retain ad-free listening and offline downloads until 15 January. No charge will be applied on 15 January.

Free tier reversion

After your billing cycle ends, your account automatically reverts to the free tier. You may continue using Audiomack for free with advertisements and standard features.

Data and library preservation

Your playlists, uploads, followers and listening history remain on your account. You do not lose this information by cancelling Premium. If you rejoin Premium later, your library remains intact.

Payment method and automatic renewal

Once you cancel, Audiomack removes its recurring payment instruction from your payment method. If a charge appears after your final billing date, contact your bank or payment provider immediately and escalate to Yafee's support team with your cancellation confirmation screenshot.

Refund rights and dispute procedures

Audiomack's standard terms restrict refunds, but New Zealand law may entitle you to a refund or partial refund in specific circumstances.

When you may claim a refund

You have grounds to request a refund if:

• The service failed to work as described (app crashes, offline downloads non-functional, persistent bugs).
• Audiomack misrepresented features or availability in New Zealand.
• You were charged after your cancellation date.
• You cancelled within 14 days of purchase and the service did not meet your reasonable expectations.

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, a service must be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. If Audiomack breached these standards, you may claim a refund.

How to request a refund

Contact Audiomack support with your cancellation confirmation, your final billing date, and a clear explanation of why you believe you deserve a refund. Cite the Consumer Guarantees Act if the service malfunctioned.

If Audiomack refuses, escalate to the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) or request advice from Consumer NZ. Both agencies can investigate if Audiomack has breached consumer law.

Unwanted charges after cancellation

If you see a charge after your final billing date, contact your bank or credit card provider immediately. Request a chargeback and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Simultaneously, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission.

Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation

Cancellation is simple, but a few missteps can create unnecessary stress. Yafee has seen these situations before, and we want to help you sidestep them.

Assuming your subscription has ended without verification

Do not assume cancellation is complete until you log back in and verify that your Premium status shows as inactive. Many consumers cancel and forget to confirm; charges then appear unexpectedly.

Deleting the Audiomack app before saving your confirmation

Removing the app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation before uninstalling anything. You will need this proof if a disputed charge arises.

Confusing cancellation with account deletion

Cancelling your subscription stops recurring charges but does not delete your account. Your data remains. If you want to delete your account entirely (and permanently lose your library and playlists), contact Audiomack support separately and request account deletion. This is a distinct process.

Ignoring the billing date

Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current cycle, not immediately. If you cancel on the 10th of a month but your cycle runs until the 25th, you will be charged on the 25th for the final month. Mark your calendar with your renewal date to avoid surprises.

Not documenting your cancellation

Screenshots are your evidence. If Audiomack disputes that you cancelled or if a charge appears later, you need proof. Save your confirmation screen and store it in a folder or email it to yourself.

Comparison: Audiomack versus alternative streaming services

If you are cancelling because another service suits you better, this comparison may help confirm your decision.

Customer support channels

Audiomack operates from the United States and does not publish a New Zealand-specific support address. You may reach the company via:

• In-app support form: Open the app, go to Settings, and select Help or Contact Support.

Escalation to the commerce commission

If Audiomack does not respond within 14 days or refuses to resolve your issue, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission at comcom.govt.nz. The Commission investigates breaches of the Fair Trading Act 1986 and Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. You may also contact Consumer NZ for free advice and advocacy.

Key takeaways and next steps

Cancelling your Audiomack subscription in New Zealand is straightforward: log in, navigate to Account Settings, click Cancel Subscription and save your confirmation. Your subscription remains active through the end of your current billing cycle, after which you revert to the free tier. You retain access to your playlists, uploads and listening history indefinitely.

Your rights as a New Zealand consumer-grounded in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986-protect you against unfair charges and failed service delivery. If Audiomack charges you after your cancellation date or the service malfunctions, you have statutory grounds to demand a refund. The Commerce Commission enforces these protections at no cost to you.
