Frequently asked questions
Cancel WeWork: The Right Way to Secure Your Refund
How to cancel your WeWork membership in singapore and recover your refund
Understanding WeWork and why cancellation matters
WeWork operates flexible workspace solutions across Singapore, offering private offices, coworking memberships, hot desks and on-demand meeting room bookings at premium locations such as 30 Raffles Place and Suntec Tower 5. You commit to membership through monthly subscriptions or fixed-term contracts, typically spanning 12 months. When your business needs change or costs become unsustainable, you need a clear pathway to exit without losing money or facing unexpected penalties.
Cancelling a workspace membership involves more than a phone call. Your cancellation method, the terms you agreed to, and Singapore's consumer protection framework all determine whether you recover part or all of your fees. Yafee has helped thousands of members understand their rights and cancel cleanly. This guide walks you through your legal position, every cancellation method, and the refund scenarios you may encounter.
Why businesses cancel WeWork
Your project may have ended, your team relocated, or costs proved unsustainable. Some members discover that remote work suits their operations better than a physical space. Others face unexpected cash flow pressure or competitive alternatives. Your reason does not affect your right to cancel or your entitlement to a refund; the law protects you equally.
What cancellation entails in singapore
Cancellation means formally notifying WeWork that you will not renew your membership or wish to exit your current contract. Depending on your membership type and contract terms, you may face early termination fees, pro-rata refunds, or a clean exit with no penalty. Understanding these outcomes before you act ensures you navigate the process strategically.
WeWork pricing and membership options in singapore
Your membership type and price point directly affect your cancellation rights and refund entitlement.
| Plan type | Price (SGD) | Commitment | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Office (1 person) | S$760/month | 12 months | Solo professionals needing dedicated space |
| Private Office (3 persons) | S$3,610/month | 12 months | Small teams requiring privacy |
| Monthly coworking membership | S$374/month | Month-to-month | Freelancers and flexible workers |
| Hot Desk | S$499/month | Month-to-month | Workers seeking collaborative open space |
| All Access Pass | S$599/month | Month-to-month | Members using multiple WeWork locations |
| On-demand day pass | S$45-80/day | Per use | Occasional workspace users |
Prices exclude taxes and optional add-ons such as printing credits or dedicated desks. Your actual cost depends on your location, any promotional discounts you negotiated, and custom terms you agreed to. Always confirm current rates with WeWork support before calculating your refund entitlement.
Your consumer rights when cancelling WeWork
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you statutory rights when cancelling services, regardless of WeWork's standard terms.
Statutory cooling-off period and your legal position
If you purchased your WeWork membership online or at a distance (not in person at a WeWork office), the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act entitles you to a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of purchase. During this window, you may cancel and request a full refund without penalty, provided you have not materially used the service. This protection applies even if your contract states otherwise.
Your legal position: You have an unconditional right to cancel within 14 days of purchase if the sale occurred remotely. WeWork cannot lawfully charge you an early termination fee or require you to complete your contract during this period. If you cancel after 14 days, your cancellation rights depend on your contract terms and whether you have grounds under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act for unfair contract terms.
Unfair contract terms and early exit rights
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act also protects you against unfair contract terms. If WeWork's cancellation clause imposes a disproportionate financial penalty on you (such as charging the full 12-month fee if you cancel after 3 months), a court or the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore may deem this term unfair and unenforceable. Yafee recommends you review your contract before cancelling to identify any clause that may be challengeable.
Escalation to the competition and consumer commission of singapore
If WeWork refuses to honour your cooling-off period or enforces an unfair contract term, you may lodge a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). The CCCS investigates breaches of consumer protection law and can compel WeWork to refund you and pay damages. You do not need a lawyer to file a complaint, though Yafee recommends documenting all communication with WeWork before escalating.
How to cancel your WeWork membership
WeWork directs cancellation requests through its app support channels and member portal; no physical cancellation address in Singapore is publicly available.
Step 1: gather your membership and contract details
Before initiating cancellation, collect the following documents:
- Your membership number and plan name (e.g. Private Office, Hot Desk)
- Your membership agreement or contract, including the start date and commitment period
- Any email confirmations of your membership purchase or renewal
- A record of all payments you have made to date
- Details of any promotional discount or custom terms you negotiated
Having these materials ready ensures you can cite your specific contract terms when requesting cancellation and makes it harder for WeWork to dispute your refund claim.
Step 2: submit your cancellation request via the WeWork app
- Open the WeWork app and log in with your credentials.
- Navigate to your account settings or member dashboard.
- Select the option to manage your membership or account preferences.
- Look for a "Cancel membership" or "End contract" button.
- Select your membership location and plan type.
- Provide your cancellation reason (WeWork may request this for feedback, but your reason does not affect your cancellation right).
- Review the cancellation summary, including any outstanding fees or refund amount.
- Confirm your cancellation request.
- Save or screenshot the confirmation number and cancellation submission date for your records.
Step 3: request written confirmation of your cancellation
Immediately after submitting your request via the app, send an email to WeWork support requesting written confirmation of your cancellation. Include your membership number, the date you submitted your cancellation request via the app, and your intended exit date. Request that WeWork confirm in writing:
- The effective cancellation date of your membership
- Any outstanding fees or charges remaining on your account
- The refund amount you are entitled to receive and the timeline for payment
- Whether you will incur any early termination or break fees
This written record protects you if a dispute arises. If WeWork fails to respond within 7 business days, escalate to the CCCS as detailed below.
Step 4: calculate your expected refund
Your refund depends on your membership type, contract length, and how much of your commitment you have already fulfilled. If you purchased within 14 days and are invoking your cooling-off right, you are entitled to a full refund minus any services you materially used (such as office access or event attendance). If you are cancelling after 14 days, your refund is calculated as follows:
- Subtract any early termination fee stated in your contract (if applicable and legally enforceable)
- Pro-rate your monthly charge for the final partial month if you cancel mid-month
- Deduct any outstanding invoices or unused credit
- Refund the balance to your original payment method
Request itemized details from WeWork before confirming your cancellation.
Step 5: confirm your final exit date and payment method
WeWork typically processes cancellations at the end of your current billing cycle unless you invoke your cooling-off right or negotiate an earlier exit. Confirm with WeWork support that your cancellation is effective on your preferred date and that your refund will be processed to your original payment method or bank account. Request an estimated timeline for refund processing, which usually takes 5 to 10 business days.
Refund entitlement and payment timelines
Your refund depends on when you cancel and what fees apply to your membership type.
Full refund (within 14-day cooling-off period)
If you cancel within 14 days of purchasing your membership, you are entitled to a full refund minus any services you used. WeWork must process your refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. If WeWork disputes that you materially used the service, request an itemized statement of your access logs and facility bookings; if these are minimal, argue that you did not materially benefit and claim your full refund.
Pro-rata refund (after 14 days, month-to-month plans)
If you hold a month-to-month membership (Hot Desk, coworking, All Access) and cancel after 14 days, you are entitled to a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of the current month, minus any early termination fee your contract specifies. For example, if you pay S$499 per month for Hot Desk and cancel on the 20th of a 30-day month, you forfeit 20 days (S$332) and receive approximately S$167 back. No early termination fee applies to month-to-month plans unless your contract explicitly states otherwise.
Early termination fee (fixed-term contracts)
If you hold a fixed-term contract (typically 12 months for Private Office), WeWork may charge an early termination fee if you cancel before the contract expires. Your contract should specify this fee; it may be a flat amount, a percentage of remaining fees, or the full remaining balance. However, if the fee is disproportionately high or the contract term was not clearly disclosed at purchase, it may be challengeable as an unfair contract term under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Yafee advises you to review your contract before accepting any early termination fee and to escalate to the CCCS if the fee seems unreasonable.
Payment timeline and follow-up
WeWork must process refunds within 14 days of your cancellation becoming effective. If your refund does not appear within this window, send a follow-up email to support with your membership number and cancellation confirmation number, requesting immediate payment. If WeWork fails to refund you within 21 days of cancellation, you may lodge a complaint with the CCCS citing breach of the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling correctly the first time saves you weeks of disputes and lost money. Many members stumble because they do not document their steps or misunderstand their cancellation date.
Failing to invoke your 14-day cooling-off right
If you purchased your membership within the last 14 days, explicitly state that you are cancelling under your statutory cooling-off right. Do not simply request cancellation without mentioning this period; WeWork may process your cancellation under standard contract terms and impose a fee. Use the phrase "I am cancelling this membership under my statutory 14-day cooling-off right under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act" in your written communication.
Cancelling verbally or over the phone without written confirmation
WeWork may claim you never submitted a cancellation request if you only cancelled verbally. Always submit your cancellation via the app or email, then follow up with written confirmation. Verbal cancellations leave no audit trail and make it impossible to prove you cancelled on a specific date if a dispute arises.
Not calculating your refund entitlement before cancelling
Some members accept a refund figure without verifying whether it is correct. Always obtain an itemized breakdown from WeWork showing your total paid, any fees deducted, and your net refund. If the figure does not match your calculation, dispute it with support before accepting the payment.
Missing your cancellation effective date
WeWork may process cancellation at the end of your billing cycle, meaning you may continue paying for weeks after you request cancellation. Confirm your effective exit date before submitting your request. If you want an immediate exit, negotiate a pro-rata refund for the remainder of your billing period.
Forgetting to update your payment method on file
Ensure WeWork has your current bank account or payment card details so your refund reaches you without delay. If your payment method has expired, update it before cancelling to avoid refund processing delays.
What happens after your membership expires
Your cancellation does not end instantly; you have rights and responsibilities during the wind-down period.
Access to your WeWork space during the notice period
You retain full access to your assigned office or desk until your effective cancellation date. WeWork cannot lock you out before this date unless you breach your membership agreement (such as non-payment). If WeWork denies you access before your cancellation date, contact support immediately and escalate to the CCCS if necessary.
Clearing your personal items and office setup
Before your cancellation becomes effective, remove all personal items, documents and equipment from your office. WeWork is not liable for items left behind after your membership expires. Some locations offer a short grace period (typically 48 hours) to collect your belongings; check your cancellation confirmation for details.
Updating your business address and mail forwarding
If you used your WeWork address for business mail or regulatory registrations, update your address with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), your bank, and your landlord before your membership expires. Failure to do so may result in missed invoices, tax notices or legal documents.
Retrieving your membership data and records
Request a copy of your member profile, booking history and any community event records from WeWork before cancelling. You may need these for tax purposes, accounting records or future workspace decisions. WeWork should provide this data within 7 business days of your request.

When to escalate to the competition and consumer commission of singapore
If WeWork refuses to honour your cooling-off right, denies you a refund you are entitled to, or charges an excessive early termination fee, escalate to the CCCS.
Filing a complaint with the CCCS
Contact the CCCS through its website (www.cccs.gov.sg) or visit their office at 101 Cecil Street, Singapore 069533. Provide the following information in your complaint:
- Your membership number and the dates of your membership
- Copies of your contract, cancellation request and all WeWork correspondence
- A detailed explanation of what went wrong (e.g. WeWork refused to honour your cooling-off right, charged an unjustified early termination fee)
- The refund amount you are owed and the basis for your claim
- Proof that you attempted to resolve the matter with WeWork (e.g. email chains with support)
The CCCS will investigate and may order WeWork to refund you and pay damages. Most complaints are resolved within 3 to 6 months. Yafee advises keeping all documentation organized so you can respond quickly to CCCS requests for information.
