How to cancel Tracklib in new zealand and reclaim your credits

What Tracklib is and how it works

Tracklib is a music sampling and licensing platform built for producers, beatmakers and creators who need legal access to original recordings. You browse a curated library of licensed tracks, download samples and secure the rights to use them in your own productions through a transparent subscription model.

The service operates via its website and iOS mobile app, delivering digital downloads and licenses instantly after purchase. Your subscription tier unlocks different access levels depending on your plan, though premium features require a paid upgrade.

How Tracklib delivers your subscription

Once you subscribe, you access the full sample library through Tracklib's web platform or by downloading the mobile app to your device. Licenses and downloads arrive immediately in your account, and you can manage your subscription settings online at any time. If you subscribed through the iOS App Store, Apple handles your billing and renewal directly, not Tracklib.

What you receive with a Tracklib subscription

Active subscribers gain access to Tracklib's complete sound library, curated sample packs and the ability to license tracks for use in your own music productions. You also earn credits that let you download and license additional content beyond your plan tier. Once you cancel, you keep all licenses you have already obtained, but your ability to download new samples stops when your current billing period ends.

Tracklib pricing and available plans in new zealand

Tracklib offers three main subscription tiers in New Zealand, with pricing shown in NZD. Your actual cost depends on whether you subscribe via the website or through the Apple App Store, since App Store pricing includes regional GST and Apple's billing structure.

If you are on the yearly plan, cancelling early does not refund the remaining months. If you subscribed through the App Store, Apple calculates your final charge based on regional tax rates, which may differ from Tracklib's website pricing.

Your consumer rights and what they mean for you

Your cancellation and refund rights in New Zealand are protected under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) and the Fair Trading Act 1986. These laws give you explicit rights when you subscribe to digital services like Tracklib.

Your legal position under new zealand law

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have the right to cancel a continuous supply contract (like Tracklib) within a reasonable timeframe. For subscription services, New Zealand law requires that cancellation be straightforward and that you receive clear confirmation of cancellation. The Fair Trading Act 1986 also protects you from misleading representations about cancellation terms.

If Tracklib fails to honour a cancellation request or charges your account after you have cancelled, you can lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's primary consumer protection authority. Yafee specialises in helping customers understand these rights and ensuring they are enforced.

When you can cancel and what happens next

You can cancel Tracklib at any time during your subscription, whether you are on a monthly or annual plan. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to your account and all downloaded licenses indefinitely after cancellation. Your unused credits and any remaining prepaid balance become subject to Tracklib's refund policy, which you should verify before proceeding.

When you should cancel Tracklib

Reasons to cancel your subscription

You might cancel Tracklib if you have finished a project, no longer need regular access to the sample library or prefer to license tracks on a pay-per-use basis instead. Perhaps you subscribed for a trial and realised it does not fit your workflow, or your music production has taken a temporary break. Whatever your reason, Tracklib makes the cancellation process straightforward, and Yafee is here to walk you through every step.

What happens to your work after cancellation

Your existing licenses remain valid indefinitely after you cancel. Any tracks you have already licensed and downloaded stay yours to use in your productions without restriction. You lose the ability to download new samples once your current billing period ends, but completed work and licensed content are not affected. Credits that remain unused in your account are governed by Tracklib's refund and credit expiry policy.

How to cancel Tracklib on the web (recommended method)

Cancelling through Tracklib's website is the fastest and most direct route, giving you instant confirmation and a clear audit trail of your cancellation request. This method works whether you originally subscribed on the web or through the App Store.

1. Open your web browser and navigate to the Tracklib website
   • Log in using your registered email address and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, select "Forgot password" on the login page and follow the email reset instructions.
2. Locate your account settings
   • Once logged in, navigate to the account or profile menu (usually found in the top-right corner).
   • Select "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. Find your subscription management section
   • Within account settings, look for "Subscription", "Billing" or "Plan Management".
   • This section displays your current plan, next billing date and cancellation option.
4. Initiate your cancellation request
   • Select the "Cancel subscription" or "End subscription" button.
   • Tracklib may ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation or offer alternative plans to keep you subscribed.

5. Confirm your cancellation
   • Select the final "Confirm cancellation" button to complete the request.
   • Tracklib will display a confirmation message with your cancellation effective date.
6. Retain your cancellation confirmation
   • Take a screenshot or save the confirmation email Tracklib sends to your registered email address.
   • This confirmation proves you cancelled within the required timeframe and protects you if billing disputes occur.

How to cancel Tracklib via the iOS app store

If you subscribed to Tracklib through the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple's billing system, not through Tracklib's website. Apple manages your subscription renewal and charges, so cancelling on the Tracklib website alone will not stop App Store billing.

1. Open the Apple App Store on your iOS device
   • Tap the profile icon in the bottom-right corner of the App Store.
   • Select "Account" from the menu that appears.
2. Navigate to your subscriptions
   • Tap "Subscriptions" in the account menu.
   • A list of all active subscriptions appears, including Tracklib.
3. Select the Tracklib subscription
   • Locate and tap "Tracklib" in your subscriptions list.
   • The subscription details page opens, showing your plan, next billing date and renewal settings.
4. Cancel your subscription
   • Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel" at the bottom of the subscription details page.
   • Apple may offer you a discounted renewal or ask why you are cancelling.
   • Proceed with cancellation by confirming your choice.
5. Verify cancellation
   • Apple displays a confirmation message stating your subscription will end on your next billing date.
   • Check your Apple ID email for a cancellation confirmation receipt from Apple.
   • You retain access to Tracklib until the end of your current billing cycle.

Refunds, credits and what you are owed

New Zealand consumer law and Tracklib's terms determine what refund or credit you are entitled to after cancellation. Understanding these rules prevents disputes and ensures you receive what you are legally owed.

Refund eligibility and timeframes

If you cancel partway through a monthly billing cycle, Tracklib typically does not issue pro-rata refunds for unused days. However, if you cancel an annual plan before 30 days have elapsed and have not used significant service features, you may be eligible for a refund under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, which grants a statutory cooling-off period for certain digital services.

Any unused credits in your account are subject to Tracklib's refund and credit expiry policy. Check your account settings before cancelling to confirm whether credits are refundable or whether they expire after a set period. Yafee recommends contacting Tracklib directly to clarify your specific refund entitlement before you proceed with cancellation.

How to claim a refund if you are entitled

If you believe you are entitled to a refund, send a written request to Tracklib within 14 days of cancellation. Include your account email address, subscription plan, cancellation date and reason for your refund claim. If Tracklib refuses your refund claim, escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission, which investigates disputes under the Fair Trading Act 1986 and Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Tracklib

Cancelling your subscription should be straightforward, but several common errors can lead to unexpected charges or confusion. Protect yourself by avoiding these pitfalls.

Mistake 1: cancelling only on the website if you subscribed via the app store

Many customers cancel on Tracklib's website but forget that Apple handles their billing separately. Your App Store subscription will continue to renew and charge your payment method even after you cancel on the website. You must cancel through the Apple App Store settings to stop all charges. Verify in your App Store account that the Tracklib subscription no longer appears in your active subscriptions list.

Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is immediate

Cancellation does not end your access immediately. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period. If you cancel on the 10th of a month and your renewal date is the 25th, you can still download and license samples until the 25th. Plan your cancellation timing accordingly if you want to preserve access for a specific project.

Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation

Always screenshot or save the confirmation email Tracklib sends after you cancel. If a dispute arises later and Tracklib claims it never received your cancellation request, your confirmation proof protects your legal position. Without evidence of cancellation, proving you cancelled on time becomes difficult.

Mistake 4: forgetting to download and license important samples before cancellation

Once your subscription ends, you lose access to the library and cannot download new samples. If there are tracks you might need for future projects, license and download them before your cancellation takes effect. Your existing licenses remain valid indefinitely after cancellation, so licensing now preserves your options.

What happens after you cancel Tracklib

Your cancellation triggers several changes to your account and access rights. Understanding what to expect ensures you are not surprised by loss of functionality.

Your account access and downloads

Your Tracklib account remains accessible indefinitely after cancellation. You can log in, view your download history and access all samples you have already licensed. You cannot download new samples or access samples that are not licensed to you. Your account will not be deleted unless you request account deletion separately.

Handling unused credits and refunds

Any unused credits in your account expire according to Tracklib's credit policy, which typically gives you a window to spend or refund them. Contact Tracklib's customer support to confirm the exact expiry date of your remaining credits and whether a refund is available. If credits expire unused, you forfeit the balance unless Tracklib grants an exception.

Re-subscribing after cancellation

You can reactivate a cancelled Tracklib subscription at any time by logging into your account and selecting a new plan. Your download history and any credits remaining in your account will be preserved when you resubscribe.

Escalation: what to do if Tracklib refuses to cancel

Tracklib is legally required to honour cancellation requests under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. If Tracklib refuses, delays or disputes your cancellation, you have enforcement options through New Zealand's consumer protection system.

Step 1: request a written explanation

Send a formal email to Tracklib asking them to confirm your cancellation in writing and explain any refusal. Reference the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and your cancellation date. Retain this correspondence as evidence.

Step 2: lodge a complaint with the commerce commission

If Tracklib does not respond within 10 working days or refuses your cancellation unlawfully, lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission. Provide your email trail, cancellation confirmation (if you have one), and details of any unexpected charges. The Commerce Commission investigates breaches of the Fair Trading Act 1986 and enforces consumer rights.

Step 3: dispute any unauthorised charges

If Tracklib charges your account after you have cancelled, contact your bank or payment provider immediately. Report the charge as unauthorised and request a refund. Your bank can reverse charges and investigate on your behalf.

Comparison: cancel now versus keeping your Tracklib subscription

Before you cancel, weigh the practical and financial benefits of cancelling against retaining your subscription. This comparison helps you make an informed decision.
