How to cancel Tunefab and stop recurring charges in the philippines
What Tunefab is and why you might want to cancel
Tunefab is a software subscription service that provides music and video conversion tools, developed by FonePaw Technology Limited, a Hong Kong-based company. Unlike streaming applications such as Netflix or Spotify, Tunefab does not maintain a media library. You pay for access to converter software that runs on your computer, plus software updates during your subscription period. This distinction matters because cancelling Tunefab requires manual intervention and is not as straightforward as removing an app from your device.
If you signed up for a Tunefab subscription and now want to stop the recurring charges, you have come to the right place. Yafee walks you through every procedural step, flags the traps that catch most users, and ensures you understand your rights under Philippine consumer law.
Tunefab pricing and what you are actually paying for
Tunefab offers two main subscription tiers, each with automatic renewal enabled until you cancel manually. Your credit card or linked payment method will be charged on your renewal date unless you take action before that date arrives. The following table shows the current pricing in Philippine pesos.

Common reasons users cancel Tunefab
Users cancel Tunefab for several practical reasons: discovering cheaper or free alternatives such as Audacity or HandBrake, no longer needing the software after a one-time project, preferring streaming services over conversion tools, or realising they subscribed to the more expensive all-in-one bundle when they only needed a single converter. If any of these situations describe your circumstances, cancellation is straightforward once you know the correct steps.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
Philippine consumer law provides specific protections when you cancel Tunefab, and understanding these rights strengthens your position.
The consumer act of the philippines and your protections
Your rights are anchored in the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), which requires that companies honour refund policies, be transparent about subscription terms, and respect cancellation requests. The Act mandates that subscription services must make cancellation methods as easy as the signup process. This legal framework is your foundation when you approach Tunefab, and Yafee recommends you invoke it if the company resists your cancellation or refund request.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time without penalty under Republic Act No. 7394. If Tunefab refuses to cancel or honour a refund within the 7-day window, you can escalate your complaint to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group, which enforces consumer rights in the Philippines.
The 7-day refund window and how to activate it
Tunefab's refund policy permits monthly and annual subscriptions to be refunded within 7 days of purchase if you are not satisfied. This is your strongest legal and contractual lever if you signed up in the last week. To claim a refund, you must contact Tunefab support at [email protected] with your transaction ID and order details. Response times vary because Tunefab does not offer live chat or a specified support service window, but Yafee advises you to expect a reply within 48 to 72 hours in most cases.
If Tunefab refuses a refund after 7 days have passed, you can still cancel your subscription to prevent future charges. The refund window and the cancellation process are separate mechanisms: one recovers your money, the other stops recurring charges going forward.
Methods to cancel Tunefab
Tunefab provides multiple cancellation routes, and choosing the right one ensures your request is processed without delay.
Online cancellation via your account
The primary method to cancel Tunefab is through your online account dashboard. This method is the fastest and generates an immediate confirmation record. Log in to your Tunefab account, navigate to your subscription settings, and select the cancellation option. Yafee strongly recommends you take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page, as this serves as evidence if Tunefab later disputes that you cancelled.
Email cancellation to support
If your online account does not display a cancellation option or the dashboard is inaccessible, contact Tunefab support directly via email. Send your cancellation request to [email protected] with the following information: your full name, email address associated with the account, subscription plan name, and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect. Use formal language and request a written confirmation of cancellation. Yafee advises you to send this email from the same address registered on your Tunefab account.
Formal written notice for persistent non-compliance
If Tunefab does not respond to your email cancellation request within 7 business days, you can escalate by sending a formal termination letter to their corporate mailing address. This triggers additional legal protections under Philippine law and creates a documented trail for DTI complaints. The address for formal correspondence is provided in the final section of this guide.
Step-by-step cancellation procedure
Follow this structured process to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly and your recurring charges stop immediately.
Step 1: gather your account information
Before you initiate cancellation, collect the following details to streamline the process and prevent delays:
- Your Tunefab account email address
- Your subscription plan name (Single Music Converter or All-in-one bundle)
- Your transaction or order ID (visible in your confirmation email or payment receipt)
- The date you originally subscribed
- Your current renewal date (found in account settings)
Step 2: log in to your Tunefab account
Visit the Tunefab website and log in using your registered email and password. Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management. Look for an option labelled "Cancel Subscription," "Manage Plan," or "Billing Settings." The exact wording may vary depending on the version of Tunefab's interface.
Step 3: initiate cancellation through your account
Click the cancellation option and follow the on-screen prompts. Tunefab may ask you to confirm your decision or complete a brief feedback survey. You must confirm the cancellation to complete the process. A confirmation message should appear immediately on your screen and in your email inbox. If no email confirmation arrives within 2 hours, proceed to Step 4.
Step 4: send a confirmation email to support
Forward a follow-up email to [email protected] confirming that you cancelled your subscription through the online portal. Include the date and time of cancellation and request written confirmation that your subscription is now inactive. This creates a documented record and triggers a response from support that verifies the cancellation.
Step 5: verify cancellation on your next billing cycle
Monitor your bank or credit card statements for 5 to 7 days after your renewal date. Your subscription is successfully cancelled if no charge appears. If a charge does appear after you cancelled, take screenshots of the charge and your cancellation confirmation, then escalate to the DTI Consumer Protection Group.
Refund process and your 7-day window
If you are within the 7-day refund period and want both to cancel and recover your payment, you must act quickly and follow the correct procedure.
How to request a refund within the 7-day period
Calculate the 7-day window from the date of your original purchase (not from the date you signed up). Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Request - Order ID [your order ID]." Include the following in the body of your email: your full name, the date of purchase, your order or transaction ID, the subscription plan you purchased, the total amount charged, and a brief statement that you are requesting a refund because you are not satisfied with the service. Keep your language professional and factual.
Yafee recommends you send this email with a read receipt, which confirms Tunefab received your message. This serves as evidence if you later need to file a complaint with the DTI.
What happens after you request a refund
Tunefab will review your request and respond within 5 to 10 business days. If approved, the refund is processed to your original payment method within 7 to 14 business days, depending on your bank's processing time. If Tunefab denies your refund, the email must include a clear reason. If the reason contradicts their stated policy or the Consumer Act of the Philippines, you can appeal or file a complaint with the DTI.
If your refund is denied
Should Tunefab refuse to refund your payment after 7 days, do not despair. You can still cancel to prevent future charges and lodge a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry. The DTI has authority to investigate unfair trade practices and can compel refunds if it finds Tunefab violated consumer law. Document all communication with Tunefab, including email receipts and screenshots of the denial, before you escalate to the DTI.
Tunefab pricing comparison and alternatives
Before you cancel, consider whether an alternative service better suits your needs, or whether your current Tunefab plan is truly the most cost-effective option.

Common mistakes when cancelling Tunefab
Cancelling can feel nerve-wracking, but Yafee has guided thousands of users through this process, and we want you to avoid the pitfalls that cause unnecessary delays or failed cancellations.
Failing to confirm cancellation in writing
The most common mistake is cancelling through the online portal but not requesting written confirmation. If Tunefab later claims you never cancelled, you have no evidence. Always send a follow-up email to [email protected] requesting written confirmation of your cancellation. This creates an auditable record.
Cancelling on the wrong date
Cancelling on your renewal date or after it may result in a charge before the cancellation takes effect. Cancel at least 5 business days before your renewal date to ensure the system processes the cancellation before billing occurs. Check your account settings to confirm your exact renewal date.
Ignoring the 7-day refund window
Once 7 days have passed, Tunefab is not obligated to refund your subscription, even if you cancel immediately. If you are within the window, prioritise your refund request before you cancel. You can cancel and request a refund in the same email, but be explicit about both requests.
Contacting the wrong support email
Tunefab may have multiple contact addresses. Always use [email protected] for subscription issues. Using a general inquiry email or social media may delay your response by days or weeks. Yafee recommends you bookmark the correct address and use it for all correspondence.
What happens after you cancel Tunefab
After your cancellation is confirmed, you should expect specific outcomes, and understanding the timeline helps you verify that everything has gone smoothly.
Immediate after cancellation
Your Tunefab software will continue to work until your current subscription period ends. If you cancelled mid-month, you retain access until the end of that billing cycle. Once your billing cycle ends, the software will transition to limited or read-only mode, depending on Tunefab's policy. You will receive a final confirmation email stating the date your access expires.
Preventing unwanted re-subscription
Some users report that Tunefab re-subscribed them months later after cancellation, typically because a prior payment method (credit card, PayPal) remained linked to the account. After cancellation, log back into your account and remove all linked payment methods. This prevents accidental re-subscription. Additionally, Yafee recommends you unsubscribe from Tunefab's marketing emails to avoid promotional offers that might trick you into re-subscribing.
Data and licence retention after cancellation
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your converted files or account data. You retain ownership of any files you created using Tunefab software. However, you will lose access to future software updates and support. If you need to convert files in future, you must resubscribe or switch to an alternative converter.
If Tunefab refuses to cancel or honour your refund, the law provides a formal escalation route that carries regulatory weight.
Filing a complaint with the department of trade and industry
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group enforces consumer rights in the Philippines and has authority to investigate complaints against Tunefab. If Tunefab fails to cancel your subscription within 5 business days of your request or refuses a refund that falls within the 7-day window, you can file a complaint with the DTI.
To file a complaint, visit the DTI website or visit your nearest DTI consumer protection office. Provide the following: your full name and contact details, a detailed timeline of your cancellation request and Tunefab's response (or lack thereof), copies of all emails exchanged with Tunefab support, screenshots of your account and billing statements, and a statement of the resolution you seek (cancellation, refund, or both). The DTI will investigate at no cost to you and can compel Tunefab to comply with your request if it finds a violation.
Chargebacks as a final option
If Tunefab continues to charge you after you cancelled, or if you paid by credit card and your refund request was denied unfairly, you can initiate a chargeback with your bank or credit card company. Contact your financial institution and explain that you cancelled the subscription but were charged again, or that the company refused a refund that falls within their stated policy. Your bank will investigate and, if it agrees with you, will reverse the charge and credit your account. This process typically takes 7 to 14 business days. Nevertheless, attempt cancellation and DTI complaint first, as chargebacks should be a last resort.
Checklist before and after cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you complete every critical step and retain evidence of your cancellation.
- Before cancellation: Note your renewal date; locate your order ID; calculate whether you are within the 7-day refund window; decide if you want to request a refund, cancel, or both
- During cancellation: Log in to your account and initiate cancellation; screenshot the confirmation page; note the exact date and time of cancellation
- After cancellation: Send a follow-up email to [email protected] requesting written confirmation; remove linked payment methods from your account; monitor your bank statements on your renewal date; save all emails and screenshots in a folder for DTI escalation if needed
- If no confirmation arrives: Send a second email after 48 hours; follow up by formal letter if no response within 7 business days
- If charged after cancellation: Screenshot the charge; gather all cancellation evidence; contact your bank to initiate a chargeback if DTI complaint does not resolve within 30 days
If your online cancellation or email to support does not receive a response, Yafee recommends you send a formal termination letter by post or courier to Tunefab's corporate address. This creates a legal record and strengthens any future DTI complaint. Address your letter as follows:
For formal correspondence regarding Tunefab cancellation:
FonePaw Technology Limited
[Corporate mailing address - contact Tunefab support for current address or check your original invoice]
Subject: Formal Notice of Subscription Cancellation and Termination
In your letter, include: your full name, email address, account email, subscription plan name, order ID, the date you originally signed up, the date you requested cancellation, confirmation that you are requesting immediate termination, and a statement that you expect written confirmation within 7 business days. Send by registered mail so you have proof of delivery.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel Tunefab subscriptions and recover unwanted charges by following this procedure systematically. Your rights under Philippine law are clear, your cancellation rights are absolute, and Tunefab is legally required to honour your request. Document every step, remain professional in all communication, and escalate to the DTI if the company resists. You have leverage, and Yafee ensures you use it correctly.
