Frequently asked questions
Cancel Lilplay: The Right Way
How to cancel Lilplay in new zealand: legal rights and step-by-step cancellation
What Lilplay is and why cancellation matters
Lilplay is a digital subscription service operated by Eimhir Ltd (a UK-registered company) that delivers ebooks and digital media content to readers. If you have subscribed to Lilplay and now wish to cancel-whether due to changing preferences, unexpected billing, or simply redirecting your spending-you hold specific consumer rights under New Zealand law.
This guide walks you through the cancellation process, explains what happens after you cancel, and grounds your rights in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) and the Fair Trading Act 1986. At Yafee, we understand that subscription cancellations can feel unnecessarily complex, so we have compiled the facts, the law, and the practical steps you need to end your subscription without delay.
Understanding the Lilplay service
Lilplay operates as a digital content platform, primarily accessed via mobile app (iOS via Apple App Store or Android via Google Play) or web browser. The service allows subscribers to access an ebook library on a recurring payment basis. Because Lilplay does not maintain a clearly visible New Zealand storefront or transparent NZD pricing page, many New Zealand users discover their subscription only after charges appear on their credit card or bank statement.
Identifying where you signed up is crucial: if you subscribed through Apple App Store, Google Play, or directly via a Lilplay website, your cancellation method differs. Yafee recommends you locate your original payment method and subscription confirmation email before beginning cancellation, as this will accelerate the process.
Common reasons for cancelling Lilplay
You may be cancelling because you no longer use the service, prefer competing ebook platforms, were charged without clear consent, or discovered that a free trial automatically converted to a paid subscription. Under New Zealand consumer law, each of these situations is valid grounds for cancellation, and the company must process your request within a reasonable timeframe.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
New Zealand consumer law grants you specific protections when cancelling digital subscriptions like Lilplay.
The consumer guarantees act 1993
The Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) requires that goods and services are supplied with due care and skill, and that services are completed within a reasonable timeframe. When Lilplay supplies a digital subscription service, the company must ensure the service functions as described. If the service is faulty-for instance, if you cannot access content you have paid for-you have grounds to cancel and claim a refund under section 17 of the CGA.
Furthermore, under section 7 of the CGA, the company must supply the service within a reasonable time. If Lilplay delays processing your cancellation or continues to charge after you have requested termination, this breaches the Act.
The fair trading act 1986
The Fair Trading Act (FTA) prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct in trade. If Lilplay failed to clearly disclose that a free trial would convert to a paid subscription, or if the company charged you without your informed consent, you may have a claim under section 9 of the FTA. In such cases, you can demand cancellation and a full refund.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel any subscription at any time. The company cannot impose unreasonable notice periods or hidden cancellation fees. If the company refuses to cancel within 20 business days of your request, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's consumer enforcement authority.
Unfair contract terms
The CGA Schedule 1 (Unfair Contract Terms) restricts terms that exclude consumer guarantees or make cancellation excessively difficult. If Lilplay's terms state that you cannot cancel or require you to pay a penalty fee to cancel, those terms are likely unenforceable against you.
How to cancel Lilplay: three cancellation methods
You can cancel Lilplay through three distinct routes, depending on your subscription method and circumstances.
Method 1: cancel via direct customer support (recommended)
Contacting Lilplay customer support directly is the most transparent route and creates a documented record of your cancellation request. This method is particularly important if you are claiming a refund or disputing a charge.
- Locate Lilplay's customer support contact details (typically found on the Lilplay website, in your subscription confirmation email, or in the app settings under "Help" or "Contact Us").
- Send a written email or initiate a live chat, clearly stating: "I request the immediate cancellation of my Lilplay subscription effective [today's date or a future date]. Please confirm the cancellation date and confirm that no further charges will be applied."
- Include your account email address and the payment method on file (last four digits of your card or bank account).
- Request written confirmation from the support agent that includes:
- The exact date your cancellation takes effect
- Confirmation that future billing charges will cease
- Whether you retain access to content until the end of your current billing cycle
- Whether you are entitled to a refund (prorated or full)
- Save this confirmation email. If the company continues to charge you after this date, you have evidence of your cancellation request and can escalate to the Commerce Commission.
Method 2: cancel via apple app store (if subscribed through iOS)
If you signed up for Lilplay through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management interface, not through Lilplay directly. Apple processes all billing for App Store subscriptions and controls cancellation.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions."
- Locate "Lilplay" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap "Lilplay," then tap "Cancel Subscription" (or "Edit Subscription" if the first option does not appear).
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Confirm" when prompted.
- Apple will send you a cancellation confirmation email within minutes. Your subscription will end at the conclusion of your current billing period, and you will retain access until that date.
Method 3: cancel via google play (if subscribed through android)
If you subscribed to Lilplay through Google Play on an Android device, Google processes your billing and manages your subscription cancellation.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Subscriptions."
- Find and tap "Lilplay."
- Select "Cancel subscription" and confirm by following the on-screen prompts.
- Google will send you a cancellation confirmation email. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period.
Lilplay pricing and billing plans in new zealand
Lilplay does not publish transparent, publicly accessible pricing for New Zealand customers, which creates uncertainty and has led to complaint complaints.
| Plan type | Estimated cost (NZD) | Billing cycle | What you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial | $0 (converts to paid) | Varies (7-30 days) | Limited or full library access; automatic conversion to paid plan |
| Standard monthly | Varies (typically NZ$9-15) | Monthly | Full ebook library access; flexible cancellation |
| Annual plan | Varies (typically NZ$80-120) | Annual | Full ebook library access; discounted vs. monthly |
| Premium or tiered plan | Varies | Monthly or annual | Features unclear; not widely advertised for NZ |
Yafee advises you to check your bank or credit card statements immediately to confirm the exact amount charged and the billing frequency. This information is essential when you contact support to cancel and when you dispute any unauthorized charges.
What happens after you cancel Lilplay
Once you have submitted a cancellation request, several outcomes unfold depending on your subscription method and billing arrangement.
Access after cancellation
If you cancel mid-billing cycle, Lilplay typically allows you to retain access to the ebook library until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on 15 January and your billing cycle ends on 31 January, you retain access until 31 January. After that date, your account access ceases and you cannot download further content.
Refunds and billing cessation
Lilplay will not automatically refund the full cost of your current billing period when you cancel. However, if you cancel within the first 14 days of a free trial converting to a paid subscription, you may be entitled to a refund under the CGA (consumer protection rules on unsolicited supply). If you believe you were charged without informed consent, request a refund when you cancel and escalate to the Commerce Commission if the company refuses.
Future charges will cease on the date your subscription ends. If you are charged again after your cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card provider to dispute the charge and request a reversal. Simultaneously, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission.
Data and account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically delete your Lilplay account. Your account profile, reading history, and personal data remain stored on Lilplay's servers unless you request account deletion separately. If you wish to delete your account entirely, contact customer support and request "full account deletion" in addition to subscription cancellation.
Refunds and chargeback procedures
Your entitlement to a refund depends on the circumstances of your cancellation.
When you are entitled to a refund
You have the right to claim a refund if:
- You cancelled within 14 days of a free trial auto-converting to a paid subscription (unsolicited supply under the CGA).
- The service was faulty or did not function as described, and you cancelled within a reasonable timeframe.
- You were charged without your clear, informed consent (misleading conduct under the Fair Trading Act).
- The company charged you after you requested cancellation.
How to request a refund
When you contact customer support to cancel, explicitly request a refund and explain your reason. For example: "I request cancellation effective [date] and a full refund because I was not clearly informed that the free trial would convert to a paid subscription." Request that the agent provide written confirmation of the refund decision, including the refund amount and the date it will be processed.
If Lilplay refuses your refund claim, escalate by submitting a complaint to the Commerce Commission. You can lodge a complaint online at beehive.govt.nz or by post. Include a copy of your cancellation request email and any refusal correspondence from Lilplay.
Chargeback via your bank or credit card
If Lilplay does not process a refund within 20 business days of your cancellation request, or if the company continues to charge you after cancellation, contact your bank or credit card provider and request a chargeback (a dispute reversal of the charge). Your bank will investigate the dispute and, if it finds in your favour, will reverse the charge and credit your account.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription can feel straightforward, but several missteps can delay your cancellation or leave you exposed to further charges.
Mistake 1: assuming deletion equals cancellation
Deleting the Lilplay app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The app deletion is a local action on your device; Lilplay's servers continue to process your billing as normal. You must follow one of the three methods outlined above to actually cancel your subscription.
Mistake 2: failing to request written confirmation
If you cancel via live chat or phone without requesting written confirmation, you have no documentary evidence of your cancellation request. If the company denies processing your cancellation or continues to charge you, you will struggle to prove you requested cancellation. Always request and save an email confirmation.
Mistake 3: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through those platforms, not through Lilplay customer support alone. Many users contact Lilplay support expecting the cancellation to take effect, only to discover that Apple or Google continues to charge them because the subscription was never cancelled in the app store system.
Mistake 4: ignoring your bank statement after cancellation
Monitor your bank or credit card statements for at least two billing cycles after cancellation to confirm that charges have ceased. If you spot a charge after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute it. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for the date you expect the last charge.
Comparing Lilplay with alternative ebook services
If you are cancelling Lilplay because you prefer an alternative service, you may wish to compare Lilplay with competing New Zealand ebook platforms.
| Service name | Typical monthly cost (NZD) | Library size | Cancellation ease |
|---|---|---|---|
| Libby (free via library) | Free | Extensive (via NZ libraries) | N/A (no subscription) |
| Scribd | NZ$16-20 | Very large (ebooks + audiobooks) | Easy (web or app cancellation) |
| Kindle Unlimited | NZ$13-16 | Large (Amazon catalog) | Easy (via Amazon account) |
| Apple Books | Variable (per purchase) | Very large | N/A (pay-per-item) |
Escalation: what to do if Lilplay refuses to cancel
If Lilplay fails to process your cancellation request within 20 business days, or if the company disputes your right to cancel, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's consumer protection regulator.
Filing a complaint with the commerce commission
The Commerce Commission investigates breaches of the Fair Trading Act 1986 and enforces the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. If you believe Lilplay has breached either Act-for example, by refusing to cancel, continuing to charge after cancellation, or failing to disclose trial-to-paid conversion-you can lodge a formal complaint.
Visit beehive.govt.nz and select "Report a consumer complaint." Provide the following:
- Your name, email, and contact telephone number.
- The date you requested cancellation and the method you used (email, phone, live chat).
- Copies of all cancellation request emails and any responses from Lilplay.
- Your bank or credit card statements showing the charges you dispute.
- A clear explanation of why you believe Lilplay has breached consumer law (e.g., "continued charging after I requested cancellation" or "failed to disclose trial conversion").
The Commission will investigate at no cost to you. If it finds that Lilplay has breached the law, it can issue enforcement notices, require the company to refund you, or pursue court action.

Use this checklist to ensure you have completed all necessary steps and protected your consumer rights.

Contact details for Lilplay cancellation and support
When you contact Lilplay, use the following address or look for support details in your subscription confirmation email or within the app settings under "Help" or "Support."
Lilplay customer support
If a direct email or phone number is not clearly listed on the Lilplay website, you may need to initiate contact through the app or web platform's "Contact Us" form. Document the date and method of your cancellation request for your records.
Alternatively, if Lilplay fails to respond or refuses to cancel, you can escalate directly to the Commerce Commission at beehive.govt.nz. The Commission handles consumer complaints free of charge and has the authority to compel Lilplay to refund your money and honour your cancellation request.
Final summary and next steps
Cancelling your Lilplay subscription is your right under New Zealand law. Whether you subscribed through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or directly, you can cancel immediately and at no penalty. In most cases, you retain access to content until the end of your current billing period, after which your account access ceases and future charges stop.
If Lilplay charges you without informed consent, fails to clearly disclose trial-to-paid conversion, or refuses to process your cancellation within 20 business days, you have grounds to claim a refund and escalate to the Commerce Commission. Document every step: save your cancellation emails, monitor your bank statements, and keep records of all company correspondence.
