Lune Media presents itself as a streaming-style media service offering films, shows, and exclusive content across connected devices such as Roku and Apple TV. However, Philippine consumers who attempt to cancel frequently encounter an opaque process, minimal public guidance on cancellation procedures, and unclear refund terms. If you signed up expecting straightforward cancellation options and instead discovered a lack of transparency about subscription terms, you are not alone.
The core issue is that Lune Media does not prominently publish its cancellation pathway, refund eligibility, or subscription terms on its public-facing pages. This silence itself triggers your consumer protection rights under Philippine law, as you will see below.
Understanding your subscription charges
Based on publicly available data, Lune Media operates a recurring annual subscription model. The only verified pricing available shows THE TRANSFORMATION plan at $79.00 USD annually. Critically, the service does not publish separate Philippine pricing or confirm local billing support, which means you may be charged in foreign currency with additional conversion fees applied by your bank.
When your receipt shows a charge from Lune Media in USD or under a foreign merchant code, you are dealing with an international transaction. This affects both your cancellation rights and your dispute options under Philippine law.
When cancellation becomes urgent
You should cancel immediately if the service does not deliver the content you expected, if you no longer use the platform, or if you discover charges you did not authorize. Delays in cancellation mean continued monthly or annual debits from your account, which can compound your losses if the service remains inaccessible or underperforming.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
Philippine law explicitly protects your rights as a digital subscription consumer, and Yafee recommends that you understand these protections before proceeding with cancellation.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) mandates that a merchant disclose all material contract terms before you pay. Material terms include the billing frequency, total annual cost, cancellation method, and refund eligibility. If Lune Media failed to clearly display how you can cancel before you completed your purchase, that constitutes a breach of your statutory rights.
The law further provides that you may cancel any subscription service without penalty if the merchant does not offer a simple, publicly visible cancellation process. Additionally, you hold the right to receive a full or partial refund if the service does not perform as advertised or if you cancel within a reasonable trial period (typically 14 days from purchase).
Your legal position when Lune Media refuses to cooperate
Your legal standing is strong. If Lune Media ignores your cancellation request, denies a refund you believe you deserve, or continues to charge you after you have requested cessation, you have clear grounds to escalate. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group is the official Philippine authority that investigates merchant violations and can compel Lune Media to respond. You do not need a lawyer, and filing a DTI complaint is free. Document every communication: emails, support tickets, dates, and Lune Media's responses. This evidence becomes your strongest asset if you must escalate.
What to do if Lune Media ignores your cancellation
Take these steps in sequence if the company does not respond within 7 business days:
- File a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group online at www.dti.gov.ph or visit your nearest DTI regional office.
- Include your account number, subscription dates, all communication attempts, and the total amount charged.
- Attach copies of emails, receipts, and screenshots as evidence.
- Simultaneously, dispute the charge with your bank or payment processor (credit card issuer, PayPal, GCash, or similar).
- Cite unauthorized continued billing after cancellation request.
- Your bank can reverse charges while the DTI investigates.
- Contact Lune Media a final time via email (if obtainable) stating that you have filed a DTI complaint and will pursue a chargeback if the company does not confirm cancellation and issue a refund within 5 business days.
Lune Media does not publish a clear, user-facing cancellation dashboard, but you have multiple pathways to terminate your subscription. Yafee advises you to follow these methods in order of likelihood of success.
Cancel through your Lune Media account settings
Begin by logging into your Lune Media account and navigating to your billing or subscription section.
- Visit the Lune Media website and log in with your registered email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and complete the reset process before proceeding.
- Navigate to your account settings or profile menu, typically located in the top-right corner of the page.
- Look for labels such as "Account," "Settings," "Profile," or "My Subscription."
- Select "Billing," "Subscription," or "Manage Plan" from the menu options.
- If no such option appears, proceed to the next method.
- Locate the button or link labeled "Cancel Subscription," "End Membership," or "Downgrade Plan."
- Click it and confirm your cancellation when prompted.
- A confirmation message or email should appear immediately.
- Save or screenshot this confirmation for your records.
- Check your email (including spam and promotions folders) for a cancellation confirmation from Lune Media within 24 hours.
- This email must state the cancellation effective date and any refund details.
Cancel via email to customer support
If no in-app cancellation option exists, send a formal cancellation request to Lune Media's customer support email address.
- Open a new email from your registered email address (the one linked to your Lune Media account).
- Do not use a different email, as the company may reject your request.
- Compose an email with the subject line: "Request to cancel Lune Media subscription - [Your Full Name]."
- Include your full name, registered email, and account number (if known).
- State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Lune Media subscription, effective today."
- Include the date you wish the cancellation to take effect.
- Request a written confirmation of cancellation and any applicable refund details.
- Research Lune Media's contact email on its website or in your account area.
- Send your cancellation email and retain a copy in a dedicated folder for your records.
- Note the date and time you sent it.
- Wait for a response within 5 business days.
- If you do not receive a reply, escalate via the DTI complaint route outlined above.
Cancel through your payment method
If direct contact with Lune Media fails, you can revoke payment authorization at the source.
- Log into your credit card account, bank portal, or digital wallet (GCash, PayPal, etc.).
- Navigate to "Recurring Payments," "Subscriptions," or "Payment Authorizations."
- Locate the Lune Media charge in your transaction history.
- Note the exact merchant name and transaction ID.
- Select "Cancel recurring payment" or "Revoke authorization" for that merchant.
- Confirm the action when prompted.
- You will receive a confirmation from your payment provider.
- Save this confirmation as proof of cancellation.
- Send a follow-up email to Lune Media confirming you have revoked payment authorization and requesting written acknowledgment.
- This creates a clear paper trail if disputes arise later.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Your refund entitlement depends on when you cancel and what Philippine law allows under the specific circumstances of your purchase. Yafee strongly recommends that you understand your refund window before submitting your cancellation.
When you qualify for a full refund
You are entitled to a full refund if any of the following apply:
- You cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase (statutory cooling-off period under Republic Act No. 7394).
- Lune Media did not disclose its cancellation policy before you paid.
- The service did not deliver the content or features as described or advertised.
- Your account was charged without your authorization.
- The service was inaccessible or non-functional for more than 7 consecutive days.
When you may receive a partial refund
A partial refund may be appropriate if you cancel after the 14-day window but Lune Media has failed to provide service for a substantial portion of your billing period. If you paid annually and the service was unavailable for two months, you could reasonably request a pro-rata refund for the downtime.
Processing timeline
Refunds must be processed within 14 days of your cancellation request, in accordance with the Consumer Act of the Philippines. If Lune Media fails to issue a refund within this timeframe, you may file a chargeback claim with your bank or escalate to the DTI. Document the cancellation date, your refund request date, and any response from Lune Media.
Pricing structure and subscription plans
Understanding what you are paying for clarifies whether cancellation is the right choice. The table below summarizes Lune Media's known subscription offering.

Note: Lune Media does not publish monthly billing options, and no Philippine-specific pricing is confirmed. Conversion rates and foreign transaction fees vary by your payment provider, so your actual PHP charge may exceed the approximate amount shown.
Many Philippine consumers take missteps that delay their cancellation or weaken their position. You can avoid these pitfalls with care and method.
Mistake 1: assuming silence means cancellation
Do not assume your subscription has ended because you stopped using the service or did not receive a renewal email. Inactivity is not cancellation. You must receive explicit written confirmation from Lune Media stating the cancellation effective date. Until you have that confirmation, the company may continue to charge you.
Mistake 2: cancelling via a single email and forgetting to follow up
A single email to customer support can be ignored, misfiled, or lost in spam. Send your initial cancellation email, then send a follow-up email after 5 business days if you have not received a response. Include your previous email in the thread and state clearly that this is a follow-up to your cancellation request. This creates an undeniable record of repeated attempts.
Mistake 3: failing to document all communication
Save every email, screenshot, transaction record, and confirmation message. If you must escalate to the DTI or dispute the charge with your bank, this evidence becomes your strongest tool. Screenshots of your account, receipt emails, and support responses all matter. Create a folder on your phone or computer dedicated to your Lune Media correspondence.
Mistake 4: ignoring the 14-day refund window
The moment you notice an unexpected charge or decide the service is not right for you, begin your cancellation immediately. Waiting weeks or months to cancel weakens your refund claim. The Consumer Act of the Philippines gives you a 14-day cooling-off period from purchase-after that, refunds become discretionary and harder to obtain.
Mistake 5: not disputing the charge with your bank
If Lune Media continues to charge you after you have requested cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider at once. Do not wait for the DTI process to conclude. Your bank can reverse unauthorized recurring charges while your formal complaint proceeds. This dual approach protects you faster.
After cancellation: what to expect
Once your cancellation takes effect, you should experience a clean break from Lune Media. Take these precautions to ensure the company does not attempt to rebill you.
Confirming your cancellation is complete
Within 48 hours of submitting your cancellation, verify that your access to Lune Media has ended. Log in with your account details and confirm you receive an error message or are redirected to a login screen with no active account. If you retain access after the stated cancellation date, email Lune Media again and reference your cancellation confirmation number.
Checking for recurring charges
Monitor your credit card, bank account, or digital wallet for the next two billing cycles to confirm no further charges appear. Many subscriptions have a grace period of 30 days, so watch carefully for that window. If you see a charge after your cancellation date, immediately dispute it with your bank as unauthorized and file a supplementary DTI complaint.
Preserving your cancellation record
Keep all cancellation confirmations indefinitely. Save the email confirmation, screenshot the confirmation page, and store your cancellation number in a safe place. If Lune Media ever attempts to re-bill you or claims you never cancelled, you have proof to present to your bank or the DTI.
Getting help: escalation and support
If Lune Media does not respond, refuses to cancel, or continues to charge you, Yafee advises that you escalate through official Philippine consumer channels. You have clear recourse under law.
File a complaint with the department of trade and industry
The DTI Consumer Protection Group is the official government body responsible for enforcing the Consumer Act of the Philippines. You can file a complaint online at www.dti.gov.ph or visit your nearest DTI regional office in person. There is no fee, and you do not need a lawyer. Provide your account number, all communication attempts, dates, and the total amount charged. Attach copies of emails, receipts, and evidence of cancellation requests. The DTI will contact Lune Media and can compel the company to respond, issue a refund, or face penalties.
Dispute the charge with your payment provider
Simultaneously with your DTI complaint, contact your bank, credit card company, or digital payment provider (GCash, PayPal, etc.) and file a dispute. Explain that you requested cancellation but the company continued to charge you without authorization. Your payment provider can reverse the charge within days, far faster than the DTI process. This does not prevent you from pursuing the DTI complaint-both actions strengthen your position.
Consider formal demand letter (optional)
If the amount is substantial (over ₱5,000), you may choose to send a formal written demand letter to Lune Media, stating the amount owed, the date you requested cancellation, and a deadline for response (typically 5 business days). This letter, sent via email with read receipt, can be presented to the DTI or in small claims court if needed. Yafee recommends consulting a local lawyer for this step, though it is often unnecessary if you have already engaged the DTI.

Summary and action checklist
Cancelling Lune Media is straightforward once you know your rights and follow a clear process. Use this checklist to track your progress and protect yourself at every stage.
- Understand the law: You are protected by the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), which requires clear disclosure of cancellation terms and allows refunds within 14 days if the service does not perform as advertised.
- Collect your account details: Gather your registered email, account number (if visible), purchase date, and total amount paid.
- Attempt cancellation via account settings: Log into Lune Media and look for a Billing or Subscription section. If found, use the in-app cancellation option.
- Email customer support if needed: Send a formal cancellation email to Lune Media's support address with your full details and a clear cancellation request. Keep a copy.
- Follow up after 5 business days: If you have not received a response, send a follow-up email referencing your original request.
- Revoke payment authorization: Log into your credit card, bank, or digital wallet and cancel the recurring payment to Lune Media as a backup measure.
- Document everything: Save all emails, screenshots, and confirmation messages in a dedicated folder.
- Request a refund if eligible: If you cancel within 14 days or if the service was not as advertised, request a refund in writing.
- Monitor your account: Check for continued charges for 60 days after cancellation. Dispute any unauthorized post-cancellation charges with your bank immediately.
- Escalate to the DTI if needed: If Lune Media refuses to cancel or continues to charge you, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry Consumer Protection Group at www.dti.gov.ph.
- File a chargeback: Contact your payment provider and initiate a chargeback or dispute for any unauthorized charges.
- Preserve cancellation confirmation: Keep all cancellation confirmations indefinitely for your records.
Lune Media's primary address and contact channels are based on its Australian operations, as no dedicated Philippine office or support number is publicly confirmed. Use the following methods to reach the company:
- Email: Search your confirmation or receipt email for a reply address. Common support email addresses include [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected]. If none appear in your email history, check the Lune Media website footer or account settings.
- Website: Visit the Lune Media website and locate a "Contact Us" or "Support" page for the most current email or form submission option.
- Account settings: Log into your Lune Media account and check for a contact or support link, which may provide region-specific contact information.
- If physical address is required: Lune Media is registered in Australia. However, for Philippine consumer protection purposes, direct all formal complaints and demands to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) rather than attempting to mail documents to an overseas address. The DTI will contact Lune Media on your behalf.
Your consumer rights under Philippine law are not weakened by the fact that Lune Media operates overseas. The Consumer Act of the Philippines applies to any merchant that charges Philippine consumers, regardless of where the company is located. When you file a DTI complaint, the agency treats your case with the same authority it applies to domestic merchants. The combination of a documented cancellation request, a DTI complaint, and a bank chargeback creates a compelling case that protects your money and your rights. Act promptly, document everything, and do not hesitate to escalate. Yafee is here to guide you through every step.
