How to cancel Templado and stop recurring charges on your account

What Templado is and why you need to act now

Templado is a subscription-based home services platform focused on tempered glass shower door maintenance and repairs, operating in the Philippines through email support routed via Tempello. If you enrolled from a Philippine address, you likely pay monthly through credit card, GCash, or Maya, with charges recurring on the same date each month. The service promises scheduled maintenance visits and emergency repair support, but many subscribers report confusion about what exactly they are paying for and where to send cancellation requests.

The critical issue: Templado does not maintain a dedicated Philippines office or local phone line. Your only verified contact point is [email protected], which means written communication and clear documentation become your strongest tools for a successful cancellation. At Yafee, we have guided thousands of Philippine consumers through this exact scenario, and we know that delays in cancellation often result in unexpected charges stacking up month after month.

This guide gives you the legal framework, step-by-step cancellation instructions, and your consumer rights under Philippine law. By the time you finish reading, you will have a concrete plan to cancel Templado without losing money or getting trapped in billing loops.

Why cancellation matters now

Recurring subscriptions are designed to continue until you actively stop them. If you no longer use Templado's maintenance service or have switched to a competitor, each month that passes without cancellation is a charge you cannot recover. The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) gives you the right to cancel any subscription, but you must follow the correct procedure and keep records of your cancellation request. Yafee recommends acting within 14 days of deciding to cancel, because the longer you wait, the more charges accumulate on your account.

Service structure and billing setup

Templado operates a monthly recurring model. Your charges appear on your bank statement or digital wallet (GCash, Maya) under the merchant name "Tempello" or a variant. The standard rate verified for Philippine accounts is ₱22 per month on the ZedevLand Elite plan, though some subscribers report higher amounts depending on add-ons or emergency service usage. Billing cycles reset on the same calendar day each month, so if you were charged on the 15th, the next charge will fall on the 15th of the following month unless you cancel before that date.

Your pricing and what you are currently paying

Confirm your exact plan and monthly outlay before you submit a cancellation request.

Log into your account, or check your most recent email invoice from [email protected]. Your invoice will list the exact plan name and amount charged. If you cannot find your invoice, email support with your registered phone number and billing address, and request a statement covering the last 12 months. Yafee advises keeping this invoice handy when you submit your cancellation, because it proves what you are canceling and helps support process your request faster.

Should you cancel Templado? factors to consider

Before you cancel, assess whether stopping the service is the right choice for your home.

Reasons to keep your subscription

If your shower enclosure is new or still under Templado's warranty, the maintenance plan may prevent costly repairs down the line. Scheduled maintenance visits can extend the life of tempered glass by catching small issues early. If you live in a high-humidity area (common in many Philippine regions), regular professional cleaning and inspection is worth the ₱22 monthly cost. Emergency support can also be valuable if you cannot quickly find a local glass repair technician.

Reasons to cancel Templado

You may want to cancel if you rarely use the service, or if scheduled visits are not happening as promised. If Templado raised your monthly fee without notice, or if you have switched to a competitor offering better rates or more responsive support, cancellation is justified. Many subscribers cancel because the lack of local phone support makes it frustrating to reschedule missed appointments. At Yafee, we have also seen customers cancel after discovering that "maintenance" visits are mostly superficial, adding little real value. If you simply do not need shower door maintenance anymore, there is no reason to continue paying.

How to cancel Templado step by step

Follow this exact procedure to cancel your subscription and stop all future charges.

Step one: gather your account information

Before you contact support, collect the following documents in one folder or email draft:

• Your email address registered with Templado (the one that receives invoices)
• Your most recent invoice number and date (found in Templado emails)
• Your billing phone number or GCash/Maya account linked to the subscription
• The exact monthly amount charged (e.g., ₱22)
• A screenshot of your last charge on your bank statement or digital wallet

This information speeds up support's ability to locate your account and confirm your subscription status. Do not contact support without these details, because support will ask for them anyway, and you will waste time going back and forth.

Step two: compose your cancellation email

Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Cancellation request: [Your registered email]". Use the following template, customized with your details:

Subject: Cancellation request: [Your email address]

Body:

Dear Templado support team,

I am writing to formally request cancellation of my Templado subscription effective immediately. My account details are:

- Registered email: [your email]
- Account phone: [your phone number]
- Most recent invoice number: [invoice number]
- Monthly charge: ₱[amount]
- Requested cancellation date: [today's date]

Please confirm cancellation in writing within 48 hours. I request that no further charges be applied to my account after [today's date]. If a charge is processed after this date, I will dispute it with my payment provider.

Thank you,
[Your full name]

Do not soften your language or apologize. This is a formal cancellation request, and your tone should reflect that. Keep the email concise, factual, and professional. Yafee emphasizes that you must use the phrase "formal cancellation request" so support cannot claim they misunderstood your intent.

Step three: send the email and document delivery

Send your cancellation email to [email protected] from the same email address registered with Templado. Use your email provider's "read receipt" or "delivery confirmation" feature if available (Gmail, Outlook, etc.). Take a screenshot of the sent email showing the timestamp and recipient address. Do not rely on email alone; proceed to step four to create a paper trail.

Allow 48 hours for a response. If support does not reply, send a follow-up email with "Follow-up: Cancellation request [your email]" as the subject line. Attach your original cancellation email as evidence of your first request.

Step four: monitor your next billing cycle

Mark your calendar for the day before your next scheduled charge (e.g., if you are usually charged on the 15th, mark the 14th). Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from support. If you do not receive confirmation, email support again, citing your original request date and asking for written proof of cancellation.

On your next billing date, check your bank statement or digital wallet. If no charge appears, your cancellation succeeded. If a charge still posts, proceed to step five.

Step five: dispute the charge if cancellation fails

If Templado continues to charge you after your cancellation request, contact your bank or digital wallet provider immediately. For GCash users, open the GCash app, select "Dispute," and report the transaction as "unauthorized recurring charge after cancellation request." For Maya, use the "Report transaction" option in the app. For credit card users, call your card issuer and report the charge as recurring after cancellation.

When you dispute, provide your support email screenshot and the cancellation email you sent to [email protected]. Your bank or wallet provider will reverse the charge and may issue a provisional credit while they investigate. Most providers take 7-14 business days to resolve disputes in your favor.

Yafee recommends keeping all documentation (cancellation email, sent proof, dispute record, support responses) in one folder for at least one year. This evidence protects you if Templado attempts to charge you again.

Your legal position under philippine consumer law

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is the legal framework governing your cancellation rights and Templado's obligations.

Your consumer rights

Under the Consumer Act, you have the right to cancel any subscription service without penalty, provided you notify the company in writing. Templado cannot charge you after you cancel, and any charge posted after a valid cancellation request is illegal. If Templado refuses to cancel or continues billing, you may file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), which has the authority to investigate and impose penalties on the company.

Furthermore, if Templado takes longer than 30 days to process your cancellation, or if support fails to respond to your written request, this constitutes a breach of consumer protection standards. The DTI can order Templado to issue a full refund of all charges incurred after your cancellation date.

Your legal position if Templado refuses to cancel

If support does not respond, or claims your cancellation is invalid, you are protected. Here is what you can do:

• File a formal complaint with the DTI Consumer Affairs Group (CAG) online at dtipayong.gov.ph or visit a regional DTI office in person.
• Provide your cancellation email, proof of delivery, and documentation of unauthorized charges as evidence.
• The DTI will issue a cease and desist order to Templado, requiring the company to stop billing within 5 business days.
• Request compensation for all charges incurred after your cancellation date, plus any interest or penalties imposed by your bank.

In almost all cases, presenting a DTI complaint triggers immediate action from Templado's support team, because companies operating in the Philippines must comply with DTI orders or face fines up to ₱100,000 per violation.

What to expect after cancellation

Your subscription will end cleanly if you follow the steps above and receive written confirmation from support.

Timing and final charges

No charge should appear on your account after your cancellation date. If you cancel on the 10th and your billing date is the 15th, support must ensure no charge posts on the 15th. If a charge does post, you have the right to dispute it as an unauthorized transaction. In all cases, contact your bank or wallet provider within 60 days of the charge to qualify for dispute protection.

Refunds for prepaid or unused services

If you prepaid for an annual plan and you cancel mid-year, you are entitled to a pro-rata refund of unused months. For example, if you paid ₱240 for 12 months (₱20 per month) and cancel after 4 months, support must refund ₱160 (8 unused months). Request this refund explicitly in your cancellation email: "I request a pro-rata refund of unused service fees to my original payment method within 14 days."

Templado must process refunds within 14 days of your cancellation request. If a refund does not appear within 21 days, escalate to your bank or the DTI.

Data and account access

After cancellation, Templado should deactivate your account access. You will no longer be able to log in or schedule maintenance visits. If you can still access your account 30 days after cancellation, contact support and request full account deletion. Under the Consumer Act, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data within 30 days of cancellation.

Common mistakes to avoid when canceling

Cancellations go wrong most often because of avoidable errors, but you can protect yourself by knowing what to watch for.

Mistake one: calling support instead of emailing

Templado has no Philippine phone line. If you call a support number, you will either reach an automated message or a third-party contractor who cannot process cancellations. Always email [email protected]. Email creates a written record that protects you legally if a dispute arises. Phone calls leave no proof, and support can later claim they never received your cancellation request.

Mistake two: not specifying an effective cancellation date

Write "effective immediately" or give a specific date (e.g., "effective 12 January 2025"). Vague requests like "please cancel when you get a chance" give support wiggle room to delay. Specify the date in your email, and support will know exactly when to stop billing.

Mistake three: assuming silence means cancellation

If support does not reply to your cancellation email within 3 business days, send a follow-up. Do not assume your cancellation went through. Monitor your next billing date closely. If a charge posts after your cancellation request and support did not confirm receipt, you have evidence of negligence, which strengthens your DTI complaint.

Mistake four: not documenting charges after cancellation

If a charge appears after you cancel, screenshot it immediately. Note the transaction ID, amount, date, and time. Your payment provider will need this evidence to process a dispute. At Yafee, we have seen consumers lose disputes because they waited weeks to report unauthorized charges. Report it within 48 hours of discovery.

Refund eligibility and timeline

Understanding when and how you can claim a refund is critical to protecting your money.

Full refunds you can claim

You are entitled to a full refund of your most recent monthly charge if Templado cancelled your service but then charged you again after your cancellation date. You can also claim a refund if support failed to respond to your cancellation request within 14 days. In both cases, dispute the charge with your bank or wallet provider, citing Templado's failure to honor your cancellation.

Pro-rata refunds for prepaid plans

If you bought an annual prepay plan (₱240 for 12 months) and cancel after 3 months, calculate your unused balance: (12 months - 3 months used) ÷ 12 months × ₱240 = ₱180 refund. Request this explicitly in your cancellation email. Support must process it within 14 days. If they refuse, file a DTI complaint.

Refund timeline and payment method

Refunds should appear in your original payment method within 7-14 business days. If you paid via GCash, the credit will land in your GCash balance. If you used a credit card, the credit will appear on your next statement. If a refund does not arrive within 21 days of your cancellation, contact your bank or wallet provider and request a trace. Provide your cancellation email and the original transaction receipt as proof.

Practical checklist: before you cancel

Use this checklist to ensure you have everything you need before you send your cancellation email.

After cancellation: what to do next

Once your subscription ends, take these final steps to protect yourself from future issues.

Monitor your accounts for three billing cycles

Even though your subscription is cancelled, continue checking your bank statement or digital wallet for 3 months after the cancellation date. If an unexpected charge from "Tempello" appears, report it immediately as unauthorized. Most companies respect cancellations after the first cycle, but a few attempt to re-bill customers who are not paying attention.

Save your cancellation confirmation permanently

Store your cancellation email, support's confirmation reply, and your screenshot evidence in a dedicated folder or cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.). Keep this evidence for at least 12 months. If a future charge appears or Templado disputes your cancellation, this folder is your proof of legitimate cancellation.

Consider alternative shower maintenance providers

If you still need shower enclosure maintenance, research local glass repair shops in your area. Many offer one-time maintenance visits at lower cost than monthly subscriptions. Ask for recommendations from friends or check local Philippine directories for "glass repair + your city name."
