How to cancel Orivpn and stop recurring charges in the philippines
Understanding Orivpn and why you might want to leave
Orivpn is a paid virtual private network subscription service that charges you monthly or annually to access encrypted connections across 53 global server locations. The service operates on a recurring billing model, which means your payment method gets charged automatically on your renewal date unless you actively cancel before that date arrives. Understanding how the service works and what triggers your charges is the first step toward taking control of your subscription.
What Orivpn costs and what you receive
Orivpn offers four billing plans in Philippine peso, ranging from monthly to annual commitments. All paid tiers include the same core features: unlimited data downloads, access to servers in 53 countries, support for up to 10 simultaneous devices, a documented no-logs policy, permission for peer-to-peer and torrent activity, and connection speeds up to 10 Gbps. The pricing structure means you are not paying for upgraded features on longer plans; instead, you are choosing how frequently you want to renew.

The table above reveals a key insight: quarterly and semi-annual plans offer the lowest monthly cost at ₱125.00, while monthly and annual plans both cost ₱150.00 per month. If you signed up for a longer commitment expecting premium features or superior support, Orivpn does not tier its service offerings at higher price points.
Common reasons people cancel Orivpn
Users in the Philippines often cancel Orivpn because they discover faster competitor services, find cheaper alternatives, no longer require a VPN for their daily activities, or experience degraded server performance in their region. Others cancel after noticing unexpected recurring charges on their credit card or debit card statement that they did not authorize or understand.
Some customers purchase longer-term plans and subsequently realize they prefer a different service or no longer need the functionality. The decision to cancel is entirely within your control, and the process should never feel deliberately complicated or designed to trap you in unwanted payments. Yafee understands that subscription decisions change, and you deserve a straightforward cancellation pathway.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Orivpn in the philippines
The Philippines has established clear legal protections for consumers entering subscription agreements with companies like Orivpn.
The consumer act of the philippines protects your cancellation rights
The Republic Act No. 7394, also known as the Consumer Act of the Philippines, establishes your fundamental rights when dealing with subscription services. This law requires that all charges must be transparent, billing practices must be fair and honest, and companies cannot use deceptive contract terms to lock you into unwanted recurring payments against your interests.
Under this legislation, Orivpn must clearly disclose the total cost of your subscription upfront, specify the exact billing date before you pay, and provide straightforward cancellation instructions accessible within your account dashboard. If the company makes cancellation deliberately difficult, hides the cancel button, or fails to explain auto-renewal terms in plain language before charging you, you have grounds to dispute the charge and escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Complaints Division.
What this legal framework means for your cancellation
Your legal position is strong: you have the right to expect transparent cancellation instructions prominently displayed on Orivpn's website and within your account settings. You do not need to call a phone number, navigate through hidden menus, or contact customer support to cancel your subscription. The Consumer Act of the Philippines requires that cancellation be as straightforward as signup itself.
If Orivpn charges you after you submitted a cancellation request, you can request a full refund without penalty. If the company refuses to process your cancellation or continues billing after you cancelled, you have the right to file a formal complaint with the DTI Consumer Complaints Division, which handles disputes between consumers and businesses operating in the Philippines. Yafee has guided thousands of Philippine consumers through this escalation process when companies refused to honor cancellations.
How to cancel Orivpn before your next charge
Cancellation should be straightforward, and you have multiple paths to end your subscription depending on how you accessed the service.
Step 1: log into your Orivpn account on the web
Access the official Orivpn website using your web browser. Enter your email address and password to sign in to your account dashboard. If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot password" link and follow the reset instructions sent to your registered email address. Ensure you are logging in on a device with internet access so you can navigate to your account settings.
Step 2: navigate to account settings or subscription management
Once logged in, look for a menu option labeled "Account", "Settings", "Subscription", or "Billing". This section typically appears in the top navigation bar or within a dropdown menu next to your profile name. Click this option to access your subscription and payment information. You should see details about your current plan, your next billing date, and your payment method on file.
Step 3: locate the cancel subscription button
Within your account settings, find the option labeled "Cancel subscription", "End subscription", or "Unsubscribe". This button should be clearly visible in the subscription management section. Click it to initiate the cancellation process. Orivpn may ask you why you are leaving (this feedback is optional and does not affect your cancellation).
Step 4: confirm your cancellation request
A confirmation prompt will appear asking you to verify that you wish to cancel. Read the confirmation message carefully to understand the effective date of your cancellation and whether you lose access immediately or retain access until your paid period expires. Click "Confirm" or "Yes, cancel my subscription" to finalize the request. You should receive a confirmation email at your registered address within a few minutes.
Step 5: check your confirmation email and account status
Navigate to your email inbox and look for a cancellation confirmation message from Orivpn. This email should include your cancellation date, any remaining access period, and your next billing date (which should be removed or marked as cancelled). Return to your account settings and verify that your subscription status now reads "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If the status still shows as active 2 hours after cancellation, contact Orivpn support with a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation email.
Alternative: cancel via Orivpn mobile app
If you subscribed through the Orivpn mobile app (iOS or Android), you can also cancel within the app itself. Open the app, navigate to "Settings" or "Account", locate "Manage subscription" or "Billing", and select "Cancel subscription". Follow the same confirmation steps outlined above. The cancellation will apply to your account across all platforms.
Alternative: cancel a subscription purchased through the apple app store
If you purchased Orivpn through the Apple App Store (iPhone or iPad), you must cancel the subscription through Apple, not through Orivpn directly. Open the Settings app on your device, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions", find Orivpn in the list, tap it, and select "Cancel Subscription". Apple will process the cancellation and send you a confirmation. This method applies even if Orivpn offered you a discount for subscribing through the App Store.
Alternative: cancel a subscription purchased through google play
If you purchased Orivpn through Google Play (Android), open the Google Play app, navigate to "Account" (tap your profile icon), select "Manage subscriptions", find Orivpn, tap it, and select "Cancel subscription". Follow Google's confirmation prompt. Google will process the cancellation and notify you by email. You cannot cancel a Google Play subscription through Orivpn's website if you used this payment method.
Understanding your refund rights after cancellation
Refund eligibility depends on when your subscription was purchased and your cancellation timing relative to your next billing date.
When you are eligible for a refund
If you cancel within a specific window (typically 7 to 30 days, depending on Orivpn's stated policy), you may be eligible for a full refund of your most recent subscription charge. If you cancel between 1 and 7 days after paying, contact Orivpn support immediately with your invoice number and request a refund. The company must evaluate your request in accordance with its published refund policy, which should be available on its website or in your account settings.
If you purchased your subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play and cancel within their respective refund windows (typically 14 to 48 hours), Apple or Google will process your refund directly to your original payment method. You do not need to contact Orivpn for these platform-based refunds.
When refunds are not automatic
If you cancel after your refund window has closed (for example, 60 days after purchasing an annual plan), you are unlikely to receive a refund for the remaining unused subscription time. Nevertheless, you remain entitled to use the service until your paid subscription period expires. If Orivpn charges you again after your cancellation date, you have the right to dispute that charge with your bank or payment provider and file a complaint with the DTI if the company refuses to reverse it.
Disputing unauthorized charges
If Orivpn continues to charge you after you submitted a cancellation request, contact your bank or credit card company immediately. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and request a refund for all charges after your cancellation date. Your bank can typically reverse charges within 60 to 90 days of the unauthorized transaction. Simultaneously, send Orivpn a written notice (email is acceptable) demanding a refund and citing the Consumer Act of the Philippines. Keep a copy of this email for your records.
What to do after cancellation
Cancellation is complete, but a few follow-up actions ensure you stay protected and informed.
Monitor your bank or card statement
Check your credit card, debit card, or bank statement 7 to 10 days after your confirmed cancellation date. Verify that no further charges from Orivpn appear. If a charge posts after your cancellation confirmation email, screenshoot the charge and your cancellation email, then contact Orivpn support to dispute it. Request a refund reference number and expected refund timeline. If the company does not respond within 7 business days, escalate to the DTI Consumer Complaints Division with both documents attached.
Delete the Orivpn app if you no longer need it
After cancellation, you may wish to remove the Orivpn app from your phone or computer to avoid accidentally reconnecting and paying again. Uninstalling the app also frees storage space on your device. Your cancellation is independent of whether the app remains installed, so this step is optional but often helpful for a clean transition.
Update your password records
If you used a unique password for your Orivpn account and you do not plan to use Orivpn again, you may delete that password from your password manager. Alternatively, you can keep a record in case you need to retrieve your cancellation confirmation email or dispute information later.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Most cancellations proceed smoothly, but a few missteps can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to continued charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling through support instead of your account dashboard
Never request cancellation via email or live chat as your sole cancellation method. While support staff are helpful, an email request creates ambiguity about whether your cancellation was processed. Always cancel directly through your account settings (Step 3 above), which generates an instant confirmation and updates your account status in real time. If support staff tell you that cancellation can only happen via email, that contradicts the Consumer Act of the Philippines. Request the cancellation through your account dashboard and email the confirmation to support as a backup record.
Mistake 2: assuming the cancellation took effect immediately
Many users believe that cancellation means they lose access instantly. In most cases, you retain access until your paid period ends. If you cancelled a quarterly plan on day 45 of your 90-day subscription, you keep access until day 90, then access stops automatically. Check your cancellation confirmation email to confirm your actual access end date. Do not panic if you see "access until [date]" in your confirmation; this is normal and expected.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation email
Archive your cancellation confirmation email in a dedicated folder or take a screenshot. This document proves you cancelled on a specific date and protects you if Orivpn charges you again or disputes your cancellation. Forward the confirmation to your personal email address for redundancy. Without this proof, you have limited recourse if a disputed charge arises.
Mistake 4: cancelling via the app but not verifying in your web account
If you cancelled through the mobile app, log into your Orivpn account on the web to double-check that your subscription status reflects "Cancelled". App cancellations can sometimes fail to sync with the main account database. Verify across both platforms to ensure your cancellation took effect globally.
Mistake 5: ignoring refund window timelines
If Orivpn or the payment platform offers a refund window (for example, 14 days for App Store purchases), submit your refund request before that window closes. After the deadline passes, refunds become discretionary and much harder to obtain. Mark your calendar with refund deadlines and act proactively if you want your money back.

Orivpn's monthly cost (₱150.00) sits at the lower end of the market, making it competitive on price. Its 53 server locations are fewer than competitors like Surfshark (100+) and ExpressVPN (90+), but sufficient for most users. The 10-device simultaneous connection limit is higher than NordVPN (6) and ExpressVPN (5), but lower than Surfshark's unlimited connections. Yafee recommends comparing your specific use case (streaming, gaming, P2P activities) against the services available before you cancel.
If you decide to keep Orivpn
If you are cancelling by mistake or reconsidering, you have options to continue or modify your subscription.
Reactivate a cancelled subscription
Within a limited window (typically 30 days) after cancellation, you can reactivate your Orivpn account by logging back in and selecting "Reactivate subscription". You may be offered a discount or incentive to return. If more than 30 days have passed, you will need to purchase a new subscription, and you will not receive credit for any unused time from your previous subscription.
Downgrade your plan
If you are cancelling because your current plan is too expensive, contact Orivpn support and ask to downgrade from annual to monthly, or from quarterly to monthly. The company may allow you to switch to a lower-cost plan without cancelling entirely. This avoids the risk of being without a VPN and may preserve any loyalty discount you have accrued.
Filing a complaint with the DTI if Orivpn refuses to cancel
If Orivpn continues charging you after you cancelled, or if the company refuses to process your cancellation request, you have recourse through the Philippine regulatory system.
How to file a complaint with the department of trade and industry
The DTI Consumer Complaints Division investigates disputes between consumers and businesses. Visit the DTI website (dti.gov.ph) and select "File a complaint" or "Consumer complaint". Provide the following information:
- Your full name, address, and contact number
- Orivpn's business name and website
- Your account email and subscription dates
- Screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and unauthorized charges
- A clear description of what happened and what refund or action you are requesting
- Copies of all relevant emails and bank statements
The DTI will contact Orivpn and demand a response within 15 business days. If the company fails to respond or refuses to resolve your complaint, the DTI can escalate the matter and impose penalties. This process is free and available to all Philippine residents.

How to reach Orivpn
Orivpn provides customer support through email and live chat on its website. Send a support request to the email address listed in the "Contact us" or "Help" section, or use the live chat feature in your account dashboard. Include your cancellation confirmation screenshot, your account email, and your specific request: "I cancelled my subscription on [date], but my account still shows as active. Please process my cancellation immediately and confirm in writing."
Expect a response within 24 to 48 business hours. If Orivpn does not respond within 48 hours or refuses to cancel, send a follow-up email citing the Consumer Act of the Philippines and threatening to escalate to the DTI. Most companies respond quickly to this reference.
Final summary and next steps
Cancelling Orivpn is a straightforward process when you follow the steps outlined above. You have the right under the Consumer Act of the Philippines to cancel your subscription without penalty, and the company must honor your request within a reasonable timeframe. Log into your account, navigate to subscription settings, click cancel, confirm, and save your confirmation email. Monitor your bank statement for 7 to 10 days to ensure no further charges post. If Orivpn continues billing you after cancellation, contact your bank to dispute the charge and file a complaint with the DTI if the company refuses to refund you.
