How to cancel Impulse Brain Training and stop weekly charges in the philippines
What Impulse Brain Training is and why it charges automatically
Impulse Brain Training is a subscription-based brain training app available through its website, the App Store, and Google Play. The service delivers memory, attention, logic, and problem-solving exercises on a recurring billing cycle in Philippine pesos (PHP). You are charged automatically each week or year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date. This guide explains your cancellation options under Philippine consumer law and how to execute each one without triggering unwanted charges.
How the auto-renewal model works
When you sign up for Impulse Brain Training, you enrol in an automatic payment cycle. The company converts free trial periods into paid subscriptions without requiring a second confirmation step. Many users discover charges on their bank statements weeks after the trial ends because the cancellation deadline is not prominent during signup. The terms of service state that renewal happens automatically, but knowing the rule does not stop the charge from appearing in your account.
Your payment location determines where you cancel. If you registered via the Impulse Brain Training website, you cancel on that website. If you subscribed through Apple's App Store, you cancel in your App Store billing settings. If you used Google Play, you manage the subscription in Google Play's account section. Canceling in the wrong location leaves your subscription active and your payment method vulnerable to recurring charges.
Pricing for philippine subscribers
Impulse Brain Training offers multiple payment tiers. The weekly plan at ₱519.00 generates the most cancellation requests because charges accumulate rapidly. Annual plans cost ₱1,550.00 per year and represent a lower per-week cost. Premium one-time offers range from ₱359.00 to ₱1,490.00. All recurring plans auto-renew unless actively cancelled.

Your rights under philippine consumer law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects your right to cancel subscriptions and to receive clear billing information. Your legal position is straightforward: you have the right to terminate any subscription service, and the company must process that cancellation without penalty or delay once you submit it through an authorised channel.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees you
Under Republic Act No. 7394, companies offering subscription services in the Philippines must display cancellation terms clearly at signup and honour cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe. You have the right to receive itemised billing statements, to understand the auto-renewal terms before enroling, and to cancel without serving an additional notice period beyond the stated billing cycle.
If Impulse Brain Training continues charging you after you submit a valid cancellation request, that constitutes a violation of your consumer rights. The company cannot impose hidden fees, require you to call an unlisted phone number, or demand a reason for cancellation. Furthermore, if you cancel and the company still charges you, you are entitled to file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), which enforces consumer protection law in the Philippines.
Your legal position
You own the unambiguous right to cancel Impulse Brain Training at any time. The company must process your cancellation within 2 to 5 business days of your request. If you are charged after submitting a cancellation, you can demand a full refund for unauthorised charges and escalate to the DTI if the company refuses. You do not owe an explanation, and no cancellation fee applies under Philippine law.
Where you can cancel Impulse Brain Training
Impulse Brain Training operates three subscription channels, each with its own cancellation mechanism. Identifying which channel you used is the critical first step before proceeding.
Cancellation via the Impulse Brain Training website
If you registered directly on the Impulse Brain Training website and linked your payment method there, you must cancel through that same website account portal. Website-based cancellations typically process within 24 to 48 hours, and you receive a confirmation email once the subscription is terminated.
- Log in to your Impulse Brain Training account using your email address and password.
- Navigate to the account settings or billing section (usually found in the menu under "My Account" or "Subscription").
- Select your active subscription plan and locate the "Cancel Subscription" or "End Membership" button.
- Review the cancellation summary to confirm the effective date (typically the end of your current billing period).
- Click the confirmation button to finalise the cancellation.
- Check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation message within 2 hours.
- Retain this email as proof of cancellation for your records and as evidence if a dispute arises.
Cancellation through the apple app store
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you manage and cancel the subscription in your App Store settings, not within the Impulse Brain Training app itself. Apple processes cancellations immediately once you confirm, and your subscription ends at the close of the current billing cycle.
- Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the account icon (profile picture) in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Find Impulse Brain Training in your list of active subscriptions.
- Tap "Impulse Brain Training" and then select "Manage Subscription".
- Tap the "Cancel Subscription" button at the bottom of the screen.
- Confirm your cancellation by selecting "Confirm" when prompted.
- Apple displays a "Confirmed" status once cancellation is complete.
- Your subscription remains active until the current billing period ends, after which it will not renew.
Cancellation through google play
If you subscribed via Google Play on an Android device, you cancel the subscription within Google Play's account settings. Google processes cancellations within minutes, and your app access continues until the end of your paid period.
- Open Google Play on your Android device or visit play.google.com on a web browser.
- Tap or click on the account icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" from the menu.
- Tap or click "Subscriptions".
- Find Impulse Brain Training and tap or click on it.
- Select "Cancel subscription".
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the reason for cancellation (optional).
- Tap or click "Cancel subscription" again to finalise.
- Google Play displays a confirmation message; your subscription ends at the close of the current billing cycle.
Timeline and what happens after you cancel
Understanding the cancellation timeline prevents confusion and protects you from unexpected charges after you believe the subscription is finished.
Immediate steps after submitting your cancellation
Once you cancel, your subscription status changes to "Active until [end date]" across all platforms. You retain full access to Impulse Brain Training exercises until the final day of your paid period. No charge occurs on the renewal date because the subscription is flagged for termination in the system.
Confirmation arrives within 2 hours via email if you cancelled through the website, or instantly if you cancelled through the App Store or Google Play. Check your email inbox and spam folder for this confirmation. If 4 hours pass without confirmation, log back into your account to verify the cancellation status manually.
After your final billing period ends
On the day after your subscription ends, Impulse Brain Training removes your account access. You cannot launch the app or log into your account. Any saved progress or game data may be retained by the company (review the privacy policy for details), but you lose active membership features. The app remains installed on your device; you can delete it or reinstall it later if you wish to resubscribe.
Refund eligibility
Philippine consumer law and most app platform policies permit refunds within 14 days of an unauthorised charge. If you cancel and discover an unexpected charge from Impulse Brain Training after your cancellation date, you are entitled to request a refund. Contact the payment platform (Apple, Google, or your bank) directly to dispute the charge. Provide them with your cancellation confirmation email as proof that you terminated the subscription before the charge occurred.
Common mistakes that prevent successful cancellation
Cancelling is straightforward once you know the process, but small errors can leave your subscription active. Here are the mistakes that most often trap users into continued billing.
Cancelling in the wrong location
The single most common error is cancelling in the app itself rather than in the platform billing settings. Tapping "Cancel" inside the Impulse Brain Training app does not disconnect your subscription; it simply logs you out. The subscription remains active and continues to charge your payment method. Always cancel through the website account portal, the App Store, or Google Play-never through the app's menu.
Missing the 24-hour cancellation deadline
Impulse Brain Training processes cancellations that are submitted at least 24 hours before the renewal date. If you submit your cancellation within 24 hours of renewal, the system may not deactivate the subscription in time, and you will be charged. Check your next billing date in your account settings and submit cancellation at least one full day before that date arrives.
Failing to confirm the cancellation request
Some cancellation pages display a confirmation screen asking you to verify your decision. If you close this screen without clicking the final "Confirm" button, the cancellation does not process. Always wait for the "Cancellation confirmed" message or check your email for the confirmation before assuming the subscription is terminated.
Not deleting saved payment methods after cancellation
Cancelling the subscription does not automatically remove your credit card, debit card, or mobile wallet from Impulse Brain Training's system. If you reactivate the app or log back into your account, you could accidentally resubscribe using the stored payment method. After cancellation, return to your account settings and delete the payment method to prevent accidental re-enrollment.
How to verify your cancellation is complete
Verification protects you by confirming the subscription is genuinely terminated and prevents future billing disputes.
Check your subscription status in real time
Log back into your account 30 minutes after cancellation. Navigate to the subscription or billing section and confirm that your subscription now displays "Cancelled" or "Inactive" rather than "Active". If it still shows as "Active", repeat the cancellation process or contact the payment platform's support team.
Monitor your payment method
Review your credit card or bank statement 7 days after your final billing date. No charge for Impulse Brain Training should appear. If a charge does appear after your confirmed cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
What to do if Impulse Brain Training continues charging you
If you submitted a valid cancellation request and Impulse Brain Training continues charging you, invoke your consumer protection rights under the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
Request a refund from the payment processor
Contact Apple, Google, or your bank within 14 days of the unauthorised charge. Explain that you cancelled your subscription and include the cancellation confirmation email. The payment processor can reverse the charge without involving Impulse Brain Training directly. Apple and Google typically approve refund claims within 5 to 10 business days.
File a complaint with the department of trade and industry
If the payment processor denies your refund or the company ignores your cancellation, escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). You can file a complaint online at the DTI website or visit a local DTI office in your region. Provide your cancellation confirmation, proof of the unauthorised charge, and correspondence with the company. The DTI investigates violations of the Consumer Act of the Philippines and can compel refunds and penalty fees against the company.

- Monitor your payment method for 7 days after your final billing date to confirm no charge appears.
- If an unauthorised charge appears, contact your bank or payment app within 14 days to dispute it.
- If the company refuses a refund, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry.
Impulse Brain Training does not list a dedicated customer service phone number or physical mailing address on its primary website. In the Philippines, you can reach the company through the following channels if you encounter cancellation issues.
Primary contact method
Visit the Impulse Brain Training website and look for a "Contact Us" or "Support" link in the footer. Email your cancellation issue with your account email address, the date you submitted your cancellation request, and a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation (if available). Request a response within 5 business days.
Escalation to the department of trade and industry
If Impulse Brain Training does not respond within 7 days or denies your refund despite a valid cancellation, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Visit the DTI website (dti.gov.ph) to access the online complaint system or visit a local DTI office in your region. Provide your cancellation confirmation, proof of the disputed charge, and all correspondence with the company. The DTI investigates violations of the Consumer Act of the Philippines and has the authority to compel refunds and impose fines on the company.
Dispute with your payment provider
Simultaneously, contact your bank, credit card issuer, or digital payment service (GCash, PayMaya, etc.) to dispute the unauthorised charge. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and explain that you cancelled the subscription before the charge appeared. Payment providers in the Philippines typically reverse unauthorised charges within 10 to 15 business days once they review your evidence.
Cancelling Impulse Brain Training is a legal right that you hold under Philippine consumer law. Yafee has guided thousands of subscribers through this process, ensuring they cancel securely and recover unauthorised charges when companies fail to honour cancellations. Follow the steps above, retain your confirmation, and escalate to the DTI if the company refuses to cease billing. You own the power to terminate any subscription at any time, and Yafee stands ready to help you exercise that right with confidence and legal backing.
