Frequently asked questions
Cancel Restoro: The Right Way
How to cancel Restoro and protect your refund rights in new zealand
What Restoro is and why new zealand users cancel
Restoro is a Windows repair and optimisation tool that scans your PC for system issues, then offers to fix or replace damaged files. The service operates on a one-time purchase model or annual subscription, with prices charged directly to your credit card in NZD or USD.
Most New Zealand users encounter Restoro through a free system scan, then face a prompt to purchase a licence to repair detected problems. If you've subscribed and no longer need the tool, or if you're concerned about unexpected renewal charges, New Zealand consumer law grants you clear cancellation rights and a path to refund.
At Yafee, we specialise in helping New Zealand consumers understand their contractual rights and navigate cancellation with confidence. This guide walks you through every legal step, your protections under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, and the practical process to cancel Restoro without delay.
How Restoro charges your payment method
Restoro does not process subscriptions through app stores or payment intermediaries. Instead, the company charges your credit card or payment method directly and manages your subscription through its own customer support channels. Consequently, you cannot cancel or manage your subscription within the app itself; you must contact Restoro's support team directly to stop future renewals and request a refund.
This direct-billing model means cancellation requests must be documented in writing to create a timestamped record. Email or a formal support ticket is your strongest evidence if a dispute arises.
Common reasons new zealand users cancel Restoro
- You have completed your system repairs and no longer need ongoing access
- You are concerned about recurring charges or unexpected subscription renewals
- You prefer a free or alternative PC repair solution that does not require a paid licence
- You purchased within the 14-day trial window and want a full refund
- The tool did not deliver the promised system improvements or caused instability
- You did not intend to purchase and wish to reverse the charge
Your consumer rights and new zealand legal protections
New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) establishes your legal rights when purchasing digital products and software services, including Restoro. Understanding these protections is essential before you cancel.
What the consumer guarantees act guarantees
Under the CGA, Restoro must guarantee that the software is of acceptable quality, fit for the stated purpose, and safe to use. If the tool fails to repair issues as promised, causes system instability, or does not function as advertised, you have the right to seek a refund or other remedy without delay.
Furthermore, if Restoro continues to charge your payment method after you request cancellation, or if the company charged you without clear consent, that practice may breach the CGA's transparency requirements. Transparent trading means the company must inform you of subscription terms, renewal dates, and cancellation procedures before you purchase.
The Commerce Commission is New Zealand's consumer protection authority and enforces the CGA. If Restoro refuses to honour your cancellation or refund request after you have provided written evidence, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission at www.comcom.govt.nz. The Commission investigates breaches and can compel refunds or issue formal enforcement action.
Your legal position: the 14-day cooling-off window
Restoro offers a 14-day trial period from the date of purchase. During this window, New Zealand consumer law generally supports your right to cancel and receive a full refund if you have not substantially used the service beyond the initial diagnostic scan.
If you cancel within 14 days, submit your refund request in writing and explicitly reference the trial period. This shifts the burden to Restoro to prove you did not qualify for the cooling-off protection. At Yafee, we advise all clients to document this timeline carefully; it is your strongest legal position.
If you cancel after 14 days but the software failed to perform as promised, you may still qualify for a refund under the CGA's "not fit for purpose" provision. You do not forfeit your rights simply because the trial period has ended.
Methods to cancel your Restoro subscription
Restoro does not allow in-app cancellation; you must initiate the process through one of three official channels. Each method works, but email or a support ticket creates the strongest documented record.
Primary cancellation channels
- Live chat on the Restoro website: Visit Restoro's homepage and use the live chat feature to request immediate cancellation. This is fast but leaves minimal written record unless you screenshot the conversation.
- Email support or formal support ticket: Open a ticket through Restoro's support portal and send a written cancellation request. This creates a timestamped record that is admissible if you later dispute a charge.
- Official contact form: Complete Restoro's online contact form to lodge a cancellation request and request written confirmation by email. This ensures the request is logged in the company's system.
Email or a support ticket is your safest option because it creates a timestamped record essential for any dispute. Yafee recommends always requesting written confirmation of cancellation, including the date your subscription ends and confirmation that no further charges will be processed.
Why documentation matters
A documented cancellation request protects you in two ways. First, it proves you notified Restoro of your intent to cancel, which is a contractual requirement. Second, if Restoro charges your card again after cancellation, your email creates evidence of the company's breach. When you escalate to the Commerce Commission or your payment provider (your bank), this record is essential.
Furthermore, payment card networks and banks are more likely to reverse fraudulent charges if you can demonstrate that you explicitly cancelled the subscription.
How to cancel Restoro in six clear steps
Follow these steps to cancel your Restoro subscription and initiate a refund request under New Zealand consumer law.
Step 1: gather your account and purchase information
- Locate your Restoro licence key or account email address. This information was sent to you when you purchased.
- Note the exact date of purchase and the amount charged (in NZD or USD).
- If you have a receipt email, save it to your device or print it. This proves the purchase date and will strengthen your 14-day cooling-off claim if applicable.
Step 2: decide your primary cancellation channel
- If you require immediate cancellation, use live chat (fastest response, but screenshot the conversation for your records).
- If you prioritise documentation, send an email to Restoro's support address or open a formal support ticket on their portal (creates a timestamped record).
- In accordance with Yafee's best practice, we recommend email or a support ticket because it produces a written trail that courts and enforcement bodies recognise.
Step 3: draft and send your cancellation request
- In your email or support message, state clearly: "I request cancellation of my Restoro subscription effective immediately."
- Include your licence key or account email, the purchase date, and the amount charged.
- If you are within 14 days of purchase, write: "I am requesting a full refund under the 14-day cooling-off period recognised by New Zealand consumer law."
- If you are beyond 14 days but the software did not perform as promised, write: "The software did not repair system issues as advertised. I request a refund under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, section [3, 4, or 5] on grounds of not fit for purpose."
- Request written confirmation of the cancellation date and confirmation that no further charges will be processed.
- Send the message and retain the email confirmation number, timestamp, and any automated response.
Step 4: wait for restoro's response and escalate if necessary
- Restoro's support team typically responds within 24-48 hours.
- If Restoro confirms cancellation in writing, ask them to confirm the effective date and refund processing time (usually 5-10 business days).
- If Restoro does not respond or denies your cancellation, send a second message referencing your original request and stating: "If I do not receive a response within 5 business days, I will escalate this complaint to the Commerce Commission."
- Yafee advises all New Zealand consumers to keep copies of every message and response for your records.
Step 5: monitor your payment method and bank account
- Check your credit card or bank statement 5-10 business days after cancellation confirmation to verify that Restoro has stopped charging you.
- If a refund was promised, confirm it has been credited to your account.
- If Restoro continues to charge your card after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback or dispute.
Step 6: escalate to the commerce commission if Restoro refuses
- If Restoro refuses to cancel or process a refund, gather all documentation: your cancellation email, purchase receipt, bank statements showing the charges, and Restoro's responses (or lack thereof).
- Visit the Commerce Commission website (www.comcom.govt.nz) and lodge a formal complaint under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
- The Commission will investigate and contact Restoro on your behalf. In most cases, companies comply rather than face formal enforcement.
- Alternatively, contact your bank's dispute resolution team and request a chargeback if Restoro charged you without authorisation or after you cancelled.
Understanding restoro's pricing and refund terms
The following table outlines Restoro's pricing structure for New Zealand users and the refund terms that apply under the Consumer Guarantees Act.
| Licence type | Cost (NZD approx.) | Billing cycle | Refund window | Refund eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-time purchase (perpetual licence) | $49-79 | One-off charge | 14 days | Full refund if within trial period and minimal use |
| Annual subscription | $89-129 | Charged annually | 14 days | Full refund if within trial period; pro-rata refund after 14 days if not fit for purpose |
| Lifetime licence (rare promotion) | $149-199 | One-off charge | 14 days | Full refund if within trial period; partial refund if software malfunction proven |
| Monthly subscription (if available) | $10-15 | Charged monthly | 14 days | Full refund if within trial period; cancel anytime thereafter |
All prices are approximate and may vary. Restoro's prices are typically charged in USD, so the NZD equivalent depends on the exchange rate at the time of purchase. Yafee always recommends checking your bank statement to confirm the exact amount charged in your local currency.
What to do after you cancel Restoro
Once you have successfully cancelled and received a refund (if eligible), take these steps to secure your system and avoid similar situations.
Verify that cancellation took effect
- Wait 5-10 business days, then review your bank statement to confirm no further charges from Restoro have been processed.
- If a refund was promised, confirm it has been credited to your account.
- If your refund does not appear within 10 business days, contact Restoro's support again with your cancellation reference and ask for the refund status.
Uninstall Restoro and remove associated files
- Open the Windows Control Panel and select "Programs and Features" or "Add/Remove Programs".
- Search for "Restoro" in the list and select "Uninstall".
- Follow the on-screen prompts to remove the software completely.
- Restart your computer to ensure all associated processes are terminated.
- Restoro may have installed browser extensions or helper tools; check your browser settings and remove any Restoro-related add-ons.
Consider alternative PC repair solutions
- Windows includes built-in repair tools: System File Checker (sfc /scannow), Disk Check (chkdsk), and Windows Reset. These are free and often sufficient for common issues.
- If you need third-party support, research reviews and consumer feedback before purchasing. Yafee recommends comparing options on independent review sites rather than relying on in-app trials.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Restoro
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the correct process, but a few common missteps can delay your refund or weaken your legal position.
Mistake 1: relying on in-app cancellation or ignoring the software
Restoro does not permit in-app cancellation. Simply deleting the software does not cancel your subscription; your credit card will continue to be charged. You must contact Restoro's support team in writing to stop future charges.
Mistake 2: cancelling without documentation
If you use live chat, screenshot the entire conversation immediately. Better still, follow up with a written email summarising the chat and requesting confirmation. Yafee advises all clients that email creates a legal record; chat logs can be deleted or disputed.
Mistake 3: waiting too long after the 14-day window
Your strongest legal position is within 14 days. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to argue you did not substantially use the software. If you are unhappy with Restoro, request a refund within two weeks of purchase.
Mistake 4: not referencing the consumer guarantees act in your request
If you are beyond the 14-day window but the software failed to work, explicitly state in your cancellation email that you are invoking your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. This informs Restoro that you are aware of your legal position and are not simply asking for a favour.
Mistake 5: accepting a partial refund without checking your rights
If Restoro offers a partial or account-credit refund instead of a full bank refund, do not accept without considering your position. If you cancelled within 14 days or the software did not perform as promised, you are entitled to a full refund to your original payment method, not a credit toward future purchases.
Your refund and dispute resolution options
If Restoro refuses to cancel or refund you, you have three escalation routes under New Zealand consumer law.
Option 1: charge dispute through your bank
Contact your bank or credit card company and request a dispute or chargeback. You will need to provide:
- Your cancellation email or support ticket reference number
- Proof that Restoro continued to charge after you cancelled
- Your bank statement showing the disputed charges
- Any response (or non-response) from Restoro
Most banks will reverse unauthorised or disputed charges within 30 days. This is often faster than working with Restoro directly.
Option 2: formal complaint to the commerce commission
The Commerce Commission investigates breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act and unfair trading practices. To lodge a complaint:
- Visit www.comcom.govt.nz and select "Complaints".
- Provide your contact details, the name of the business (Restoro), and a clear summary of your complaint.
- Upload copies of your purchase receipt, cancellation email, bank statements, and all correspondence with Restoro.
- The Commission will contact Restoro and invite a response. Most companies comply rather than face formal investigation.
There is no fee to lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission. Yafee advises that formal complaints carry weight; companies take them seriously.
Option 3: dispute resolution through an alternative dispute resolution scheme
If Restoro is a member of an industry alternative dispute resolution (ADR) scheme, you may be able to lodge a formal complaint through that scheme. Check Restoro's website or contact the company directly to ask if they participate in an ADR scheme. If they do, this provides an independent review of your case at no cost.

| Situation | Recommended action | Timeline | Expected outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| You purchased within 14 days and want a refund | Cancel and request refund immediately | 1-3 days to request, 5-10 days for refund | Full refund to original payment method |
| The software did not repair issues as promised | Cancel and cite Consumer Guarantees Act | 1-3 days to request, up to 30 days for investigation | Full or partial refund, or replacement software |
| You are concerned about renewal charges | Cancel to stop future billing | 1 day to request, immediate effect | Cancellation effective; no further charges |
| You prefer a free alternative (Windows built-in tools) | Cancel and uninstall | 1 day | Full refund if within 14 days; cancellation only after 14 days |
| You are beyond 14 days and software works fine | Cancel anytime if unwanted; no refund expected | 1 day | Cancellation effective; no refund (unless on legal grounds) |
| Restoro has charged you without consent or after you cancelled | Dispute with bank and file Commerce Commission complaint | 30-60 days | Chargeback and potential enforcement action against Restoro |
Contact information and escalation addresses
Use the following details to contact Restoro or escalate your complaint if the company refuses to cancel or refund.
Restoro customer support channels
- Live chat: Available on the Restoro homepage (usually during business hours GMT/UTC).
- Email support: Support requests are typically handled through the Restoro website contact form. Requests are logged and assigned a ticket number.
- Mailing address: Restoro Ltd, Unit 1c, Brickfield Court, Cregneash, Isle of Man IM9 2QD, United Kingdom. (Note: Restoro's corporate office is in the Isle of Man, not New Zealand. Use email or chat for faster response.)
New zealand escalation authorities
- Commerce Commission (consumer complaints): www.comcom.govt.nz | Phone: 0800 943 600 | Email: [email protected]
- Your bank or credit card provider (chargeback disputes): Contact the customer service number on the back of your card or your bank's online portal.
When contacting these authorities, provide all documentation: purchase receipt, cancellation email, bank statements, and any correspondence from Restoro. Yafee recommends keeping copies of everything in a single folder or email thread for easy reference.
Final summary: protect your cancellation rights
Restoro is a legitimate software service, but cancellation and refunds require action on your part. New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 protects you if the software fails to perform as promised or if the company charges you without clear consent. Your strongest position is within 14 days of purchase; after that, your rights shift to "not fit for purpose" claims, which require more evidence.
Always cancel in writing via email or a formal support ticket. Never rely on deleting the app or ignoring renewal notices; that will not stop charges. Keep copies of every message, receipt, and bank statement. If Restoro refuses to cooperate, escalate to the Commerce Commission or your bank's dispute team without hesitation.
At Yafee, we have helped thousands of New Zealand consumers cancel software subscriptions, recover refunds, and protect their payment methods from unauthorised charges. Whether you cancel because you no longer need Restoro, or because the software failed to deliver, you have clear legal rights. Follow the steps in this guide, document everything, and your cancellation and refund will be processed quickly and fairly.
