How to cancel Adtranquility and reclaim your money in new zealand
What Adtranquility is and why you might want to leave
Adtranquility is a subscription service offering relaxation features and ad-control tools across apps and web platforms. You access the service through different storefronts-each with its own billing and cancellation process-which is why cancelling cleanly requires knowing which platform charged you first.
The service promises premium content and subscription management, but pricing and features vary by region and purchase method. If you've signed up and discovered it doesn't suit your needs, or you've been hit with unexpected renewal charges, Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers navigate cancellation without frustration. This guide walks you through every step.
The core features and what you're paying for
Adtranquility's main appeal is access to premium content, ad controls, and in-app subscription management. Your exact plan name and price depend on where you bought it and what region you're in. Before you cancel, it's worth knowing what you signed up for, as that determines where you cancel and whether you qualify for a refund under New Zealand law.
Why cancelling matters and acting fast
Auto-renewal charges continue every billing cycle unless you stop them. If you don't cancel, your money keeps flowing out without your active permission. Yafee recommends acting fast after you decide to leave, because the sooner you submit your cancellation request, the sooner you protect your account from the next charge.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
You have real legal protection when you cancel a subscription in New Zealand, and understanding these rights shifts the power back to you.
The consumer guarantees act and digital services
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, digital services must be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. If Adtranquility fails to deliver on what was promised, or you were charged without proper consent, you have grounds to request a refund or chargeback, regardless of Adtranquility's stated refund policy.
If you were charged without clear disclosure of auto-renewal terms at the point of purchase, the Fair Trading Act 1986 also allows you to challenge the charge. This means a hard "no refunds after 30 days" clause does not override your rights if the terms were not transparent when you signed up.
Your legal position
You must be able to cancel as easily as you signed up. If Adtranquility makes cancellation deliberately difficult, hidden, or impossible, or if you were enrolled without informed consent, document everything and escalate to the Commerce Commission if the company refuses to cooperate. The Commerce Commission enforces consumer protection law in New Zealand and will investigate complaints about unfair contract terms and misleading subscription practices.
How to cancel Adtranquility step by step
Your cancellation path depends on which platform billed you first. Yafee recommends identifying your purchase method immediately, then following the exact steps below for your platform.
Cancel a google play subscription
If you subscribed through Google Play (the most common route for app-based services in New Zealand), use this method.
- Open Google Play on any Android device or visit play.google.com from your web browser on desktop.
- Log in with the Google account linked to your Adtranquility subscription.
- Navigate to your account menu by clicking the profile icon in the top right corner.
- Tap or click "Payments and subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the submenu options.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
- Find and tap Adtranquility in the subscription list.
- Check the plan name and next billing date so you know exactly what you are cancelling.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Google may offer you a discount or retention incentive; ignore these unless you genuinely want to stay subscribed.
- Screenshot the confirmation page showing your final access date.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted and wait for a confirmation email from Google.
- Check your email (including spam folders) for the cancellation receipt within 24 hours.
Cancel an apple app store subscription
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store on iPhone, iPad, or Mac, follow these steps to cancel your Adtranquility subscription.
- Open the App Store app on your Apple device (or visit appleid.apple.com on desktop).
- On iPhone or iPad, tap the profile icon in the top right corner of the App Store home screen.
- On Mac, click your name in the top left corner of the App Store window.

- Confirm your cancellation by tapping "Confirm" when prompted.
- Apple will send you a confirmation email immediately.
- Screenshot your confirmation for your records.
Cancel a direct website subscription
If you signed up directly on Adtranquility's website (rather than through an app store), you must cancel through your account dashboard.
- Visit the Adtranquility website and log in with your email and password.
- Look for an "Account" or "Billing" section in the main navigation menu.
- Navigate to your subscription or billing settings.
- This section should display your current plan, renewal date, and billing amount.
- Look for a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" button.
- If you cannot find this option, contact Adtranquility support directly using the contact details in the section below.
- Click "Cancel Subscription" and follow any on-screen prompts or confirmation steps.
- Adtranquility may offer retention discounts or pause options; decline these unless you wish to continue.
- Request a cancellation confirmation email or screenshot the final confirmation page.
- Keep this proof until you verify that no further charges appear on your account.
Cancel a credit card or PayPal subscription
If you subscribed but cannot find your account or access the cancellation option through Adtranquility, you can stop payment directly through your payment provider.
- Log in to your credit card provider's website or PayPal account.
- Search for "recurring payments," "subscriptions," or "billing agreements" in your account settings.
- Find Adtranquility in your list of recurring transactions.
- Note the billing amount, frequency, and next payment date.
- Select Adtranquility and choose "Cancel," "Revoke," or "Stop Payment."
- Different payment providers use different terminology; look for options to end the recurring agreement.
- Confirm the cancellation and request a confirmation number or email.
- Save this confirmation for your records.
- Monitor your bank or credit card statement for 2-3 billing cycles to ensure no further charges appear.
- If a charge does appear after you cancelled, you can dispute it with your bank as an unauthorised transaction.
Refund eligibility and what to expect
Refunds for Adtranquility subscriptions depend on your purchase method, how long you have used the service, and your grounds for cancellation.
When you qualify for a refund
You may be entitled to a refund in the following situations:
| Situation |
Refund likelihood |
| You cancelled within 14 days of purchase and have not used the service |
Very high |
| You were charged without clear disclosure of auto-renewal terms |
Very high |
| You subscribed more than 30 days ago and used the service regularly |
Low (unless service failed to deliver) |
| You cancelled within 14 days but accessed premium features |
Moderate (depends on usage) |
| The service is demonstrably not as described in the listing |
Very high |
How to request a refund
Contact Adtranquility support directly with your request. Yafee recommends sending your refund request in writing (email preferred) and including the following information: your account email, subscription plan name, purchase date, cancellation date, and the reason for your refund request. Reference the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 if the service failed to deliver on its promises.
If Adtranquility refuses your refund request, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or dispute the charge through your bank or payment provider. App Store and Google Play also have their own refund policies; you can request a refund directly through your account if Adtranquility refuses.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not end immediately-understanding your access timeline matters so you are not caught off guard.
Your access after cancellation
When you cancel, Adtranquility allows you to use the service until the end of your current billing period. For example, if your next billing date is 15 March 2025, you retain full access until 14 March 2025 at 23:59. After this date, your access terminates and you lose the ability to log in or use premium features.
What you need to do after cancellation
After you cancel, take these steps to protect yourself:
- Save any downloaded content or data you want to keep before your access expires.
- After cancellation, you may not be able to re-access or export your data.
- Monitor your bank or credit card statement for the next 3-5 billing cycles.
- Ensure no further charges appear after your cancellation date.
- If an unexpected charge appears, contact your bank or payment provider immediately and dispute it as unauthorised.
- Provide them with your cancellation confirmation as proof.
- Keep all cancellation confirmation emails and screenshots indefinitely.
- These are your proof if you need to escalate a dispute to the Commerce Commission or your bank's dispute team.
Common mistakes when cancelling Adtranquility
Cancellation is straightforward if you avoid these pitfalls-Yafee has identified the most common errors that lead to unexpected charges and frustration.
Mistake 1: cancelling the app instead of the subscription
Deleting the Adtranquility app from your device does not cancel your subscription. The app stores (Google Play and Apple App Store) process your subscription separately from the app installation. You must cancel the subscription in your account settings, not just uninstall the app.
Mistake 2: not checking your billing date before cancelling
If you cancel one day before your billing date, you may still be charged for the next month. Check your next billing date in your account settings and time your cancellation accordingly if you want to avoid the next charge. If you are charged after cancelling, request a refund immediately.
Mistake 3: ignoring retention offers
When you initiate cancellation, app stores and payment providers often show discounts or pause options designed to keep you subscribed. If you truly want to leave, ignore these offers and proceed with cancellation. Accepting a discount resets your billing cycle and delays your actual exit.
Mistake 4: not saving your cancellation confirmation
Screenshots and confirmation emails are your only proof that you cancelled. Without them, disputing an unexpected charge becomes much harder. Save your confirmation details immediately after cancelling, and keep them for at least 12 months.
