How to cancel Adtrnq and protect your subscription rights in new zealand
What is Adtrnq and why you might want to cancel
Adtrnq, also known as AdTranquility, is a social media management platform operated by Leverage Technologies Social Media LLC, a company based outside New Zealand. The service allows you to schedule posts, automate content distribution, and manage multiple social media accounts from a single dashboard. If you've signed up for their subscription and now find the service isn't delivering the promised value, or you've discovered recurring charges you didn't authorise, you're entitled to cancel without unnecessary friction.
The service and how it works
Adtrnq operates on a subscription model, primarily offering a Pro plan that bills you weekly or monthly. The company does not publish transparent New Zealand-specific pricing on its primary website, making it difficult to track exactly what you're paying and whether the cost justifies the features you receive. This lack of clarity is why Yafee exists: to guide New Zealand consumers through the cancellation process with precision and confidence.
The platform promises to save you time by automating social media posting, but many users discover the automation falls short, the interface confuses rather than streamlines, or the recurring charges accumulate without clear justification. Whatever your reason for wanting out, cancelling promptly protects your bank account and prevents future unauthorised deductions.
Why cancellation timing matters
Adtrnq's billing cycle means delays in cancellation directly translate to additional charges. If you're billed monthly and you delay cancellation by even one week, you may be locked into another full cycle. New Zealand consumer law protects you in this situation, but only if you act decisively and document your cancellation request properly. Yafee recommends you cancel within 7 days of deciding to leave the service, giving yourself a buffer before your next billing date.
Your consumer rights and what the law says
New Zealand consumer protection legislation is robust, and it applies to digital services like Adtrnq regardless of where the company is physically located.
The consumer guarantees act 1993 and digital services
The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 is the foundation of your rights as a consumer in New Zealand. This legislation covers services supplied in the course of trade, which includes Adtrnq's subscription model. Under the Act, Adtrnq must provide their service with reasonable care and skill, and the service must be fit for its intended purpose. If the automation doesn't work as promised, or if you were misled about what the platform can achieve, you have legal grounds to challenge the company.
Your legal position: If Adtrnq fails to deliver the service as described, you can demand a refund without penalty, even if their terms say otherwise. The Consumer Guarantees Act overrides unfair contractual clauses that attempt to deny you this right. Keep all evidence: email confirmations, screenshots of the service (or failures), bank statements showing charges, and any communication where Adtrnq made promises about functionality.
Unfair contract terms and your escalation options
Adtrnq's terms and conditions may include clauses designed to trap you in the subscription or deny refunds. Under New Zealand law, unfair contract terms are challengeable, particularly if they're buried in fine print or contradict what the company publicly promises. Terms that prohibit cancellation, impose hidden fees, or require excessive notice periods can be struck down by regulators.
If Adtrnq refuses to cancel your subscription or denies a refund you're entitled to, follow this escalation path:
- Send a formal written cancellation request to Adtrnq's support team via email, keeping a copy for yourself.
- Wait 20 working days for a response.
- If they ignore you or refuse, contact the Commerce Commission or Consumer Protection New Zealand at consumerprotection.govt.nz.
- You can also initiate a chargeback dispute with your bank or payment provider if Adtrnq won't refund unauthorised or defective charges.
Yafee advises all consumers to document every step of this process. A detailed record of your cancellation attempts, refusal by the company, and the dates involved will significantly strengthen any formal complaint to the Commerce Commission.
How to cancel Adtrnq: step-by-step methods
Your cancellation route depends on how you originally signed up and how you pay Adtrnq.
Cancelling through the Adtrnq website or app
If you created your account directly on Adtrnq's website and pay by credit card or debit card, you cancel through your account settings.
- Log in to your Adtrnq account on adtrnq.com or open the mobile app.
- Use the email address and password associated with your subscription.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription section.
- Look for "Account", "Billing", "Subscription", or "Settings" in the main menu.
- Find the cancellation or downgrade option.
- Select "Cancel Subscription", "Downgrade Plan", or "End Membership".
- Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation.
- The system may offer discounts or ask for feedback; you can skip these.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page showing the date and time.
- Save this to your device and email it to yourself for backup.
- Verify that no charge appears on your next billing date.
- Check your bank or credit card statement 5 working days after your cancellation date.
Cancelling if you subscribed through apple or google
If you signed up for Adtrnq through Apple's App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform, not through Adtrnq itself. This is a critical point: cancelling in the Adtrnq app alone will not stop the charges.
- Open the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- On iPhone: tap the profile icon, select "Subscriptions", and find Adtrnq.
- On Android: open Google Play, go to "Account", select "Subscriptions", and find Adtrnq.
- Select Adtrnq from your active subscriptions.
- Review the subscription details and next billing date.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Delete".
- Confirm your choice when prompted.
- Request a refund if you cancelled within 48 hours of purchase (Apple's standard refund window).
- Go to "Purchase History", find Adtrnq, and select "Report a Problem".
- Screenshot your cancellation confirmation from the app store.
- Save this as proof of cancellation for your records.
Cancelling by contacting Adtrnq support directly
If you cannot access your account or the above methods don't work, you can request cancellation in writing.
- Email Adtrnq's support team with a clear, formal cancellation request.
- Include your full name, email address, subscription plan, and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect.
- State: "I request immediate cancellation of my Adtrnq subscription effective today."
- Send the email to the support address listed on the Adtrnq website or in your account.
- If no email is visible, check your original sign-up confirmation or billing invoice.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation.
- Ask Adtrnq to respond with the cancellation date and confirmation that no further charges will be made.
- Keep a copy of your email and any response for at least 12 months.
- This is your proof if Adtrnq later claims you never cancelled.
- Monitor your bank account for the next two billing cycles.
- If a charge appears after your requested cancellation date, escalate to your bank immediately.
Refunds, billing cycles, and what to expect after cancellation
Cancellation does not automatically trigger a refund of fees already paid, but you may be entitled to one under New Zealand law.
When you can claim a refund
You can request a refund in the following situations:
| Scenario |
Your refund right |
| Service failed to work or was not fit for purpose |
Full refund for the period the service was defective |
| You cancelled within 14 days of sign-up (if Adtrnq offers this cooling-off period) |
Full refund for the first month or billing cycle |
| You were charged after requesting cancellation |
Full refund of unauthorised charges plus interest |
| You were misled about the service's capabilities |
Refund for the entire subscription period |
| You cancelled before your next billing date |
No refund of the current period, but no future charges |
What happens to your data and account
After cancellation, Adtrnq will deactivate your access to the platform. Your scheduled posts may or may not go live depending on Adtrnq's terms; you should manually publish critical content via your social accounts before cancelling. The company may retain your data for backup or legal purposes, but you have the right to request deletion under the Privacy Act 2020. Email their support team and ask them to confirm that your personal data has been deleted within 30 days of cancellation.
Protecting yourself from surprise re-billing
Some companies attempt to re-bill users weeks or months after cancellation. Yafee recommends you check your bank statement for 90 days after cancellation. If Adtrnq charges you after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback. You can also file a complaint with the Commerce Commission if the company's billing practices are deliberately deceptive.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Many New Zealand consumers make avoidable errors that complicate their cancellation and delay refunds. You can sidestep these pitfalls with clarity and caution.
Mistake 1: cancelling only in the Adtrnq app if you subscribed via apple or google
This is the most frequent error. Cancelling within Adtrnq's own system does nothing if you originally paid through Apple or Google. The subscription continues, and you'll be charged through the app store. Always cancel through the platform where you paid, not through Adtrnq itself.
Mistake 2: not documenting your cancellation request
If you email Adtrnq to cancel, save the email, the timestamp, and any response. If you use the website, screenshot the confirmation page with the date and time visible. Without documentation, Adtrnq can later claim you never requested cancellation, and the Commerce Commission will struggle to support your complaint. Yafee recommends creating a folder on your device specifically for subscription-related communications.
Mistake 3: assuming a pending refund has processed
Refunds from Adtrnq or your bank can take 5 to 10 working days to appear. Do not assume a refund is lost if it hasn't arrived within 3 days. Check your bank's transaction history and contact your bank if it hasn't cleared after 10 working days.
Mistake 4: ignoring charges after cancellation
If you see a charge after you've cancelled, contact your bank within 30 days to dispute it. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove the charge was unauthorised. Your bank needs your cancellation evidence, so have it ready before you call.
Pricing and subscription details for Adtrnq
Understanding what you're paying for helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move and supports any refund claim.

Pricing is not clearly displayed on Adtrnq's website for New Zealand users, which is itself a breach of transparent trading practices under the Fair Trading Act 1986. If you were not shown the exact price before you were charged, you have grounds to dispute the charge. Yafee recommends requesting a full refund based on the company's failure to disclose pricing upfront.
If Adtrnq refuses to cancel your subscription or denies your refund request, you have the right to escalate.
Adtrnq contact information
Adtrnq does not maintain a New Zealand postal address. The company is operated by Leverage Technologies Social Media LLC, registered in the United Arab Emirates. You can attempt to contact them at:
- Support email: found in your account settings or billing confirmation.
- Website contact form: adtrnq.com (if available).
- Physical address: Leverage Technologies Social Media LLC, UAE (check your billing invoice for the full address).
Escalating to new zealand regulators
If Adtrnq ignores your cancellation request or refuses a refund you're entitled to, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission:
- Consumer Protection New Zealand: consumerprotection.govt.nz (for scams, unfair practices, and unresolved disputes).
- Commerce Commission: comcom.govt.nz (for breaches of the Fair Trading Act 1986 and consumer law).
- Your bank's dispute resolution team: initiate a chargeback if Adtrnq won't refund unauthorised charges.
