Frequently asked questions
Cancel Helm: The Right Way
How to cancel Helm subscription in the philippines without hidden charges
Understanding Helm and your cancellation rights
Helm is a subscription-based software platform designed for Filipino business owners and sales teams, offering exclusive leads, an AI-powered inbox, a lightweight customer relationship management tool, and intelligent lead routing capabilities. If you hold an active subscription in the Philippines, you are paying a recurring fee in Philippine pesos on either a monthly or annual cycle. This guide explains your legal right to cancel, the exact steps to follow, and how to protect yourself from unexpected charges after you withdraw.
What Helm offers and the subscription model
Helm bundles several features into a single plan: access to qualified sales leads, an AI-ready email inbox, a mini-CRM interface for tracking contacts, a simple website builder, and automated lead distribution. The service does not publish a detailed cancellation procedure on its public pages, which creates confusion for users in the Philippines who wish to exit. That opacity is precisely why you need a clear, legally grounded roadmap before you submit your cancellation request. Yafee has researched the available sources and the relevant Philippine consumer law to provide you with the exact procedure and safeguards you require.
Why you might decide to cancel Helm now
Several legitimate reasons may prompt you to cancel your subscription:
- You are not actively using the leads, inbox, or CRM features.
- You have switched to a competing platform such as Pipedrive, Monday.com, or HubSpot.
- The monthly cost is not delivering measurable return on investment for your business.
- You signed up during a promotional trial period and no longer require the service.
- Your business circumstances have changed or you have shifted to a different sales model.
If any of these situations describe your current position, cancelling before your next billing date will prevent unnecessary charges. Acting promptly ensures you retain control over your expenses.
Helm subscription pricing in the philippines
Helm offers two billing cycles, both denominated in Philippine pesos, with clear renewal dates.
| Plan type | Monthly cost | Annual cost | Savings vs. monthly | Renewal frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | ₱250.00 | Not available | None | Every 30 days |
| Annual subscription (recommended) | Not available | ₱2,750.00 | 25% discount | Every 12 months |
Both subscription tiers unlock identical core features: lead access, AI inbox, mini-CRM, lead routing, and limited team seats. The annual plan delivers a 25 percent saving compared to paying monthly, but requires a longer commitment. The monthly option provides greater flexibility if you decide to exit the service within a shorter timeframe. Choose the plan based on your confidence in the service and your cash flow requirements.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
As a consumer in the Philippines, your right to cancel is protected by Republic Act No. 7394, the Consumer Act of the Philippines, which establishes mandatory obligations for all subscription service providers operating in the country.
What the consumer act of the philippines requires from Helm
Republic Act No. 7394 mandates that Helm must:
- Disclose all subscription terms, pricing, and renewal conditions before you complete your first payment.
- Provide a clear, accessible mechanism for you to cancel or modify your subscription at any time.
- Process your cancellation request without unreasonable delay and without imposing additional fees.
- Cease all billing on your account immediately upon your cancellation request, not after one further billing cycle.
- Respond to any formal billing dispute within 15 days and provide a substantive explanation.
If Helm fails to honour any of these obligations, you hold the right to file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the primary consumer protection authority in the Philippines.
Your legal position if Helm refuses to cancel or continues charging
If you submit a cancellation request and Helm does not process it, or if charges continue to appear on your account after cancellation, you hold three enforcement options under Philippine law:
- File a complaint with the DTI Consumer Grievance Desk. The DTI accepts complaints via its website (dti.gov.ph), by telephone, or in person at any DTI office. Provide copies of your cancellation request, billing statements, and correspondence with Helm. The DTI will investigate and may order Helm to refund unauthorized charges.
- Request a chargeback or reversal from your payment provider. If you paid via credit card, debit card, GCash, or Maya, contact your bank or e-wallet provider and request a dispute. Explain that you cancelled the subscription but were charged in violation of your request. Provide your cancellation confirmation and the unauthorized charges as evidence. Most financial institutions will reverse the charge within 30 days.
- Pursue a small claims case in your local court. If the amount is below ₱100,000, you may file a small claims case without requiring a lawyer. File at the Municipal Trial Court in your jurisdiction, requesting refund of all charges made after your cancellation date.
Yafee recommends documenting all communication with Helm in writing. Save email confirmations, screenshots of cancellation requests, and payment records. This documentation is essential if you need to escalate your dispute to the DTI or your bank.
How to cancel Helm subscription step by step
Helm does not publish a publicly visible cancellation process, which means your cancellation method depends on where you created your account and which payment method you used.
Step 1: locate your Helm account and login credentials
Before you submit a cancellation request, confirm that you have access to your Helm account:
- Retrieve the email address you used when you registered for Helm.
- Confirm that you can log into your Helm dashboard using your password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the Helm login page and follow the email reset instructions.
- Note the current renewal date of your subscription by reviewing your account settings or your most recent billing confirmation email.
Having this information ready will streamline your cancellation and allow you to verify the effective date when Helm processes your request.
Step 2: check your account settings for a cancellation or subscription management option
Log into your Helm account and navigate to the subscription or account settings section:
- Look for a menu labelled "Settings", "Account", "Subscription", or "Billing".
- Scan for an option to manage, modify, or cancel your subscription.
- If you locate a self-service cancellation button, click it and follow the prompts. Yafee advises that you confirm the cancellation immediately after submitting it and take a screenshot as proof.
- If no self-service cancellation option exists, proceed to Step 3.
Many modern software platforms provide a one-click cancellation button in their account settings. If Helm has implemented this feature, use it immediately and document the confirmation.
Step 3: contact Helm support via email to request cancellation
If you cannot find a self-service cancellation option, contact Helm's support team in writing:
- Locate the Helm support email address on their website or in your welcome email. If no email is visible, check the help or contact page.
- Draft a clear, professional cancellation email. Include your full name, account email address, account username (if applicable), and the date you created the account.
- State: "I hereby request the cancellation of my Helm subscription effective immediately. Please confirm receipt of this request and provide the date when my billing will cease."
- Send the email from the same email address linked to your Helm account to ensure verification.
- Save a copy of the sent email and the timestamp for your records.
- Allow Helm up to 5 business days to respond. If you do not receive a confirmation within that timeframe, proceed to Step 4.
Written communication creates a documented trail that protects you legally if you need to escalate your dispute to the DTI or file a chargeback.
Step 4: follow up if Helm does not respond within 5 business days
If Helm's support team does not reply to your cancellation email within 5 business days, send a follow-up message:
- Reference your original cancellation email by date and include its subject line.
- State: "I submitted a cancellation request on [date] and have not received a response. Please confirm receipt of my cancellation request and provide the effective cancellation date. If I do not receive a response within 48 hours, I will escalate this matter to the Department of Trade and Industry."
- Send this follow-up email to the same support address, copying any additional contact email addresses you find on their website or support pages.
- Document the date and time of this second email.
This follow-up demonstrates good faith and creates additional evidence that you attempted to cancel through proper channels before escalating to a consumer authority.
Step 5: verify that your subscription has been cancelled and charges have stopped
Once Helm confirms your cancellation, monitor your account closely:
- Log into your Helm account after the effective cancellation date to confirm that the subscription is no longer active.
- Review your bank statement, credit card statement, GCash transaction history, or Maya account for any charges appearing 5 to 10 days after the cancellation effective date.
- If a charge does appear, contact your payment provider immediately and request a chargeback based on the fact that you cancelled the subscription before the charge was processed.
- Save all screenshots, transaction records, and Helm's cancellation confirmation email.
Most payment processors process refunds within 7 to 14 days of your chargeback request. Do not wait passively; actively monitor your accounts to catch any unauthorized charges.
Refunds and pro-rata credits for Helm cancellation
Philippine consumer law does not automatically entitle you to a refund for unused months when you cancel a subscription, unless Helm's terms specifically promise one or the subscription service was marketed with an unconditional money-back guarantee.
When you may qualify for a refund or credit
You may be entitled to a pro-rata refund or service credit in the following situations:
- You cancel within a statutory cooling-off period (if Helm's terms mention one, typically 7 days for online purchases in the Philippines).
- Helm has misrepresented the service, and it does not match the advertised features or functionality.
- You can demonstrate that Helm failed to provide the promised service during your subscription period, constituting a breach of contract.
- Helm's terms explicitly state that cancellation will trigger a pro-rata refund for unused time.
If any of these apply to your situation, include a refund request in your cancellation email. Write: "In addition to cancelling my subscription, I am requesting a pro-rata refund for unused service from [cancellation date] to [renewal date] in the amount of [calculated amount]. Please confirm whether you will process this refund."
How to calculate a pro-rata refund yourself
If you cancel partway through a billing cycle, you can calculate the amount you should receive:
- Multiply your monthly subscription cost by the number of days remaining until your renewal date.
- Divide by the total number of days in your billing month.
- Example: If you paid ₱250 for a 30-day month and cancel on day 20, you have 10 days remaining. Refund = (₱250 ÷ 30) × 10 = ₱83.33.
If Helm refuses to refund this pro-rata amount, file a complaint with the DTI asserting that the refusal violates the principle of fair dealing under Republic Act No. 7394. Yafee advises that you include your calculation in your DTI complaint to strengthen your case.
Common mistakes when cancelling Helm
Cancelling a subscription can feel daunting, but awareness of these pitfalls will help you avoid costly errors and ensure your cancellation is processed cleanly and irreversibly.
Mistake 1: assuming a self-service cancellation is automatically processed
Many users click a "cancel" button and assume the action is complete. Helm may require you to confirm your cancellation via an email link or additional step:
- Do not assume the process is finished until you receive an explicit confirmation email from Helm.
- Check your inbox and spam folder for a cancellation confirmation within 2 hours of initiating the cancellation.
- If no confirmation arrives, contact Helm support to verify that your cancellation was actually submitted.
Mistake 2: cancelling through your payment provider instead of the service provider
Some users block or cancel Helm payments directly through their bank or GCash app, believing this will cancel the subscription. This approach often backfires:
- Blocking a payment does not cancel your Helm account; it only prevents one charge from processing.
- Helm may interpret the failed payment as a technical error and retry the charge days or weeks later, or may suspend your account and hit you with late fees.
- Always cancel through Helm's own platform or by contacting Helm support directly. Only block payments at your bank if Helm refuses to cancel after you have submitted a formal request.
Mistake 3: not documenting your cancellation request
Screenshots and email receipts are your proof if a dispute arises:
- Take a screenshot of any cancellation confirmation page or confirmation email, including the date and timestamp.
- Save the subject line and full text of any cancellation email you send to Helm support.
- Store these documents in a folder or cloud service where you can retrieve them quickly if needed.
Mistake 4: ignoring the renewal date when calculating the effective cancellation date
Helm will continue to charge you until the end of your current billing period, even after you request cancellation:
- Your cancellation will typically take effect on your next renewal date, not immediately.
- If you are on an annual plan and cancel mid-year, you will likely not receive a refund for the unused portion unless Helm's terms explicitly state otherwise.
- Always ask Helm to confirm the exact date when your subscription will terminate and when billing will cease.
What to expect after you cancel Helm
Once your cancellation is confirmed, a series of actions will unfold over the coming days and weeks. Understanding this timeline will help you verify that everything has proceeded correctly and alert you to any irregularities.
Immediately after cancellation (day 0 to 2)
You will receive a cancellation confirmation email from Helm. This email should include:
- Your account username or email address.
- The effective date when your subscription ends (usually the next renewal date).
- A statement confirming that no further charges will be applied after that date.
- Instructions on how to retrieve any data from your Helm account before access is revoked.
If you do not receive this confirmation email, check your spam folder and contact Helm support immediately to request a written confirmation.
Near your renewal date (3 to 7 days before renewal)
Monitor your account to ensure no charge is attempted:
- Check your bank statement, credit card, GCash, or Maya account daily.
- If a charge appears, contact your payment provider's support line immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation.
- Request that your payment provider reverse the charge as unauthorized.
After the renewal date (1 to 14 days after cancellation takes effect)
Confirm that your Helm account has been deactivated and that your payment method has been removed:
- Attempt to log into your Helm account. You should either be unable to log in or see a message indicating that your subscription is no longer active.
- Verify that no additional charges have posted to your payment method in the 7 days following the effective cancellation date.
- If you see unauthorized charges, file a chargeback with your bank or e-wallet provider immediately.
Escalation: what to do if charges continue after cancellation
If Helm continues to charge you after you have submitted a cancellation request and received a confirmation, you have entered a dispute scenario that requires escalation. Yafee recommends the following sequence of actions, all grounded in the Consumer Act of the Philippines and your right to fair dealing in consumer transactions.
Step 1: contact Helm support in writing about the unauthorized charges
Send an urgent email to Helm support:
- Reference your original cancellation confirmation by date.
- List each unauthorized charge that has appeared after the effective cancellation date, including the amount, date, and transaction reference number.
- State: "These charges were processed in violation of my confirmed cancellation request. You are in breach of Republic Act No. 7394 of the Philippines. You must immediately refund all charges made after [effective cancellation date]. I request a full refund within 7 days."
- Send this email to Helm support and copy any additional contact addresses you have found.
- Save the email and timestamp.
Step 2: file a formal complaint with the DTI consumer grievance desk
If Helm does not respond or does not refund the charges within 7 days, escalate to the DTI:
- Visit the DTI website at dti.gov.ph and locate the Consumer Grievance Desk section.
- Download the complaint form or file your complaint online through their portal.
- Include copies of: your cancellation request email, Helm's cancellation confirmation, your billing statements showing the unauthorized charges, and Helm's response (or lack thereof) to your refund demand.
- Write a clear narrative explaining that you cancelled your subscription but Helm continued to charge you in violation of the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
- Submit the complaint and retain the DTI reference number for your records.
- The DTI will investigate and may order Helm to refund your charges within 30 days.
Step 3: request a chargeback from your bank or payment provider
Simultaneously with your DTI complaint, dispute the charges with your financial institution:
- Contact your bank, credit card issuer, GCash, or Maya customer service.
- Explain that you cancelled a subscription and were charged in violation of your cancellation request.
- Provide copies of your cancellation confirmation and the billing statements showing the disputed charges.
- Request a dispute or chargeback for the unauthorized amounts.
- Your bank will typically resolve the dispute within 30 to 45 days and will credit your account if it finds in your favour.
Filing both a DTI complaint and a chargeback simultaneously gives you two independent paths to recover the unauthorized charges. Most companies will refund you quickly once they see that both the government and your bank are involved.
Helm cancellation address and support contact information
If you cannot locate Helm's support email or contact information, use the following approach:
- Log into your Helm account and look for a "Help", "Support", or "Contact us" link in the footer or main menu.
- Check your welcome email or most recent billing email for a support contact address.
- If Helm's website does not display contact information, file your DTI complaint referencing the lack of accessible contact information as an additional violation of the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
Yafee strongly recommends that you send all cancellation and dispute communications via email so that you retain a time-stamped record. Avoid phone calls or live chat unless absolutely necessary, and follow any conversation with an email summarizing what was discussed.
Summary and next steps
Cancelling your Helm subscription is your legal right under the Consumer Act of the Philippines. The process requires you to either use a self-service cancellation button in your account settings or contact Helm support in writing. You must document every step, verify that charges have ceased after the effective cancellation date, and escalate to the DTI if Helm refuses to cancel or continues charging.
The key procedural steps are:
| Step | Action | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Locate your account | Confirm you can log in and locate your renewal date. | Immediate |
| 2. Check for self-service cancellation | Look for a cancellation button in account settings. | 5 minutes |
| 3. Email Helm support if needed | Submit a clear cancellation request by email. | Within 24 hours |
| 4. Wait for confirmation | Allow Helm 5 business days to respond. | 5 business days |
| 5. Monitor your account and billing | Verify no charges occur after the effective date. | Ongoing until confirmed |
| Escalate if needed | File a DTI complaint and chargeback if charges continue. | Within 7 days of unauthorized charge |
