Frequently asked questions
Cancel Grid: The Right Way
How to cancel Grid in new zealand and protect your consumer rights
What Grid is and why you might want to cancel
Grid is a subscription and in-app purchase service that unlocks Pro and premium features across productivity and content tools. You access these features through tiered plans-weekly, monthly, annual, or one-time purchases-depending on how you prefer to pay. Most people subscribe to Grid to remove ads, unlock advanced functionality, or enable direct posting capabilities. If you've decided Grid no longer fits your needs, budget, or workflow, cancelling should be straightforward once you know the correct platform and process. At Yafee (yafee.com), we help thousands of New Zealand consumers cancel subscriptions safely and on their own terms.
When cancelling Grid makes sense
You might cancel Grid if you're not using the Pro features regularly, prefer free alternatives, or want to reduce your subscription costs. Life circumstances change, and your app ecosystem should adapt with you. The good news is that cancelling Grid is easier than many subscription services, especially if you subscribed through Apple or Google.
What this guide covers
This guide explains everything you need to know about cancelling Grid in New Zealand, including step-by-step instructions for each platform, what happens after you cancel, your refund rights under consumer law, and how to avoid common mistakes. By the end, you'll feel confident cancelling on your own terms and understanding your legal position.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
Before you cancel, understand that you have legal protections as a consumer in New Zealand, whether Grid is sold directly or through a third-party platform like Apple or Google.
The consumer guarantees act 1993 and what it means for you
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you're entitled to expect that any service you pay for is of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered as promised. If Grid fails to deliver what was advertised-for example, if Pro features don't work or ads aren't removed-you have grounds to request a refund or remedy. This law applies regardless of whether you're within a standard refund window. If the service was misrepresented or faulty from the start, you can escalate your claim. At Yafee, we recommend documenting any issues before you cancel, as this evidence strengthens your position if you need to claim a refund later.
Cooling-off rights and refund timelines in new zealand
Apple and Google both offer refund windows (typically 14 to 15 days) for subscription purchases. However, New Zealand law doesn't impose a strict cooling-off period for digital services; instead, your protection rests on the service being fit for purpose. If you cancel after the platform's refund window closes, contact Grid support directly to argue your case under the Consumer Guarantees Act. If Grid or the platform refuses to act, the Commerce Commission and the Disputes Tribunal are your escalation paths. Most issues resolve quickly when you reference consumer law by name.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel at any time under New Zealand consumer law. If Grid is not fit for purpose or was misrepresented, you can claim a refund even after the initial refund window closes. Keep all communications with Grid support and record the dates you attempted to use the service. If you need to escalate, the Commerce Commission is the primary enforcement authority for consumer protection breaches in New Zealand.
How to cancel Grid on apple app store (iOS)
Cancelling through Apple is the most direct route if you subscribed on iPhone or iPad; your subscription will stop auto-renewing and you'll retain access until your billing period ends.
Step 1: open settings and navigate to your apple ID
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID profile at the top of the screen.
- You may need to enter your Apple ID password or use Face ID or Touch ID to proceed.
Step 2: find your subscriptions menu

- This displays all active subscriptions linked to your Apple account.
- If you have many subscriptions, scroll down to find Grid.
Step 3: locate and tap Grid
- Find and tap Grid in the subscription list.
- Review your current billing date and renewal date on the screen that appears.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple will ask you to confirm your cancellation reason (optional but helpful for Apple's records).
- Tap Confirm to finalize the cancellation.
- You will receive an email confirmation from Apple within minutes.
- Keep this email as proof of cancellation.
How to cancel Grid on google play store (Android)
Cancelling through Google Play is equally straightforward if you subscribed on an Android device; your access continues until your current billing cycle ends.
Step 1: open google play and access your account
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions from the menu.
Step 2: navigate to your active subscriptions

- Scroll to find Grid in your list.
Step 3: open Grid and confirm cancellation

Step 4: verify your cancellation

- Return to your subscriptions list to confirm Grid no longer appears or shows as "Cancelled".
How to cancel Grid directly through their support team
If you subscribed directly through Grid's website (not through Apple or Google), or if you experience difficulties cancelling through either platform, contact Grid support directly to request cancellation.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Locate your Grid account email address and any subscription confirmation emails.
- Note your current billing date and the type of plan you hold (weekly, monthly, or annual).
Step 2: contact Grid support
- Visit Grid's website and locate their support or contact page.
- Send an email to their support team clearly stating your intention to cancel.
- Subject line: "Subscription cancellation request"
- Include your registered email address and the date you wish to cancel.
- Alternatively, use their in-app support feature if available.
Step 3: follow up on your cancellation request
- Grid support should respond within 5 to 7 working days.
- Keep all email correspondence as proof of your cancellation request.
- If Grid does not respond within 10 working days, escalate to the Commerce Commission (see Refunds and escalation section below).
What happens after you cancel Grid
Once you cancel Grid, understanding what to expect helps you verify the process worked correctly and protects you if billing issues arise.
Your access timeline after cancellation
When you cancel a Grid subscription, your access to Pro and premium features stops at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. If you paid for a monthly plan on 15 January and cancel on 20 January, you retain full access until 15 February. On 15 February, your subscription ends and you revert to the free version of Grid. No further charges will appear on your billing statement after that date.
Monitoring your bank statements and receipts
After cancellation, watch your credit card or bank statement for the next 30 days to confirm that no further charges appear. If you see a charge after your cancellation confirmation email, contact your bank or payment provider immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation from Apple, Google, or Grid. Most payment disputes resolve within 5 to 10 working days when you provide proof of cancellation.
Uninstalling the app (optional)
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically uninstall the Grid app from your device. If you no longer want the app, delete it manually by holding the app icon and selecting Remove or Delete. Uninstalling does not affect your cancellation; you can reinstall the app later and use the free version without any issues.
Your right to a refund under new zealand law
New Zealand consumer law gives you the right to claim a refund if Grid fails to deliver on its promises or if circumstances warrant one under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
Refunds within the platform's standard window
Apple offers refunds within 14 to 15 days of purchase if you request cancellation immediately after signing up. Google Play offers a similar 15-day window. If you cancel within this timeframe, submit a refund request through the same platform where you subscribed. Select the reason "I did not authorize this charge" or "Accidental purchase" if applicable. Most refunds process within 5 to 10 working days and return to your original payment method.
Refunds after the platform's standard window closes
If you cancel outside the platform's refund window (for example, 30 days after purchase), you can still request a refund from Grid directly by arguing that the service was not fit for purpose under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. Contact Grid support with specific evidence: dates you attempted to use the features, screenshots of errors or malfunctions, or a summary of how the service failed to match its description. Frame your request as a Consumer Guarantees Act claim, not a cancellation request. Include the words "fit for purpose" and reference the act by name to strengthen your case.
Escalation and dispute resolution
If Grid refuses your refund claim, escalate to the Commerce Commission, which enforces consumer law in New Zealand. You can also use the Disputes Tribunal if the refund amount is under NZD 15,000. File a complaint at www.commerce.govt.nz or contact the Disputes Tribunal through your local district court. At Yafee (yafee.com), we advise keeping all communications with Grid, Apple, Google, and your bank as evidence. Most disputes resolve in your favour when you reference the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and provide documentation of the service failure.
Grid pricing plans and subscription tiers
Understanding Grid's pricing structure helps you verify you're cancelling the correct plan and claim refunds for the right amount.
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Cost (approximate NZD) | Key features | Auto-renewal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Ongoing | NZD 0 | Limited features, ads included | No |
| Weekly Pro | 7 days | NZD 2-5 | Ad removal, advanced tools | Yes |
| Monthly Pro | 30 days | NZD 8-12 | Ad removal, advanced tools, direct posting | Yes |
| Annual Pro | 365 days | NZD 80-120 | All Pro features, best value | Yes |
| One-time purchase | Lifetime access | NZD 50-80 | One-time payment, no renewal | No |
Prices vary slightly depending on where you subscribed (Apple, Google, or Grid directly). Always verify your current plan type in your account settings before requesting a refund; this ensures you claim the correct amount and can cite the exact charge on your statement.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Grid
Cancelling a subscription is simple, but a few common missteps can delay your cancellation or leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges. Stay alert and follow these guidelines to protect yourself.
Mistake 1: cancelling only the app, not the subscription
Deleting the Grid app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your auto-renewal payment will still process on your billing date. Always cancel through Settings (Apple) or Google Play (Android) before uninstalling the app. At Yafee, we emphasize this distinction because many consumers uninstall apps and assume they've cancelled, only to find charges on their statements weeks later.
Mistake 2: missing the cancellation confirmation email
After you cancel, verify that you receive a confirmation email from Apple, Google, or Grid within minutes. If you don't receive this email, your cancellation may not have processed. Check your spam folder first; if it's not there, log back into your account and confirm that the subscription no longer shows as active. If it still appears active, cancel again and take a screenshot as proof.
Mistake 3: failing to document the cancellation
Save every cancellation confirmation email and take screenshots of your subscription list showing Grid as cancelled or inactive. If a charge appears on your statement later, you'll need this evidence to dispute it with your bank or claim a refund from Grid. At Yafee (yafee.com), we recommend creating a folder or note in your phone labeled "Cancelled Subscriptions" and storing all confirmations there.
Mistake 4: not checking your billing statement after cancellation
Watch your credit card or bank statement for at least 30 days after cancellation. If you see another charge from Grid or Apple/Google on behalf of Grid, contact your payment provider immediately. Most disputes resolve quickly with proof of cancellation, but you must report unauthorized charges within 60 days in many cases.
Mistake 5: ignoring a refund claim rejection
If Grid or Apple rejects your refund request, don't accept it passively. Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have the right to escalate to the Commerce Commission if the service was not fit for purpose. Write a formal complaint referencing the act by name and send it to Grid's support team. If they ignore your complaint, lodge a formal dispute with the Commerce Commission or Disputes Tribunal. At Yafee (yafee.com), we've seen hundreds of consumers win refunds after escalation.
