How to cancel BoomVPN in singapore: your complete step-by-step guide
What BoomVPN is and why cancellation matters
BoomVPN is a virtual private network service that encrypts your internet traffic, masks your IP address, and allows you to access content restricted to specific geographic regions. You can install and use BoomVPN across multiple devices via their dedicated applications or direct web subscription. If the service no longer aligns with your needs-whether due to cost, performance concerns, or evolving privacy requirements-you retain the right to cancel at any time. Yafee exists to guide you through your subscription cancellation options, ensuring you understand your legal position and the exact steps required to exit your BoomVPN contract without unnecessary complications.
How BoomVPN operates
BoomVPN functions by routing your internet traffic through encrypted servers operated by the company, which prevents your browsing activity from being visible to your internet service provider and masks your actual geographic location. The service operates under terms and conditions that specify data handling practices, subscription terms, and the cancellation procedure you must follow.
Common reasons for cancellation
You may decide to cancel BoomVPN for several legitimate reasons: you have located a more affordable alternative, experienced persistent connectivity problems, no longer require the service for your circumstances, or prefer features offered by a competing provider. Whatever your reason, you deserve a transparent and uncomplicated cancellation process-and Yafee has prepared this guide to ensure you navigate it successfully.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes your rights when purchasing subscription services, but understanding precisely what protections apply is essential before you proceed with cancellation.
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act covers
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the statutory right to receive truthful information about any service you purchase, and Singapore law protects you against unfair contract terms that operate against your interests as the weaker party. However, BoomVPN's subscription agreement includes a clause whereby users explicitly waive the standard cooling-off period-a consumer protection that would normally permit you to cancel within 14 days of purchase without incurring penalties. Singapore law permits this waiver provided BoomVPN clearly discloses it in the terms you accept; this arrangement shifts responsibility to you to cancel manually outside the initial cooling-off window.
Your legal position: You cannot invoke the 14-day cooling-off period for BoomVPN subscriptions if you have agreed to waive it. Consequently, you must cancel by following BoomVPN's standard cancellation procedure, which varies depending on your purchase channel.
When you should escalate to CASE
If BoomVPN refuses to process your valid cancellation request, continues charging you after you have cancelled, misrepresents their refund policy, or engages in deceptive conduct about service terms, you may escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE investigates breaches of consumer law and can compel companies to refund unauthorised charges or honour cancellation requests. Yafee recommends documenting all communications with BoomVPN-including screenshots of cancellation confirmations, account statements, and email correspondence-before filing a formal complaint with CASE. Retain these records for at least six months following your cancellation date.

How to cancel BoomVPN by purchase method
Your cancellation process depends entirely on which platform processed your subscription payment: the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or BoomVPN's website directly. Each channel handles cancellations through separate systems, and you must cancel through the correct platform to avoid continued billing.
Cancel a BoomVPN subscription via the apple app store
If you subscribed to BoomVPN through Apple's App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you must cancel directly within your Apple account. BoomVPN's customer support team cannot process App Store cancellations on your behalf, regardless of the request method you use.
- Open the App Store application on your iOS or macOS device.
- On iPhone or iPad, tap the profile icon (circular image) in the bottom-right corner.
- On Mac, click your account name in the top menu bar.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu that appears.
- You will see a complete list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Locate and tap "BoomVPN" in the displayed subscriptions list.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your cancellation request.
- Apple may ask for cancellation feedback-you can provide this or proceed without comment.
- Capture a screenshot of the confirmation screen or await Apple's cancellation confirmation email.
- Apple sends confirmation to the email address registered with your Apple ID.
Cancel via the google play store
If you subscribed to BoomVPN using Google Play (Android devices or web), you must initiate cancellation through your Google Play account settings. Google processes all cancellation requests for Play Store subscriptions, not BoomVPN directly.
- Visit play.google.com on your web browser or open Google Play on your Android device.
- On web: Log in with the Google account linked to your BoomVPN subscription.
- On Android: Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner of the Play Store app.
- Navigate to "Manage my subscriptions" or "Subscriptions" from the account menu.
- Select "BoomVPN" from your active subscriptions list.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.
- Google may display a retention offer-you can decline this and proceed with cancellation.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation or check your email for Google's cancellation notice.
- Google sends confirmation within 24 hours to your registered email address.
Cancel a direct BoomVPN website subscription
If you subscribed directly through BoomVPN's website (rather than an app store), you must log into your BoomVPN account and process cancellation through their account dashboard or contact their support team via their official channels.
- Visit the BoomVPN website and log into your account using your email and password.
- Locate the login button on the homepage or navigate to the account portal directly.
- Access your account settings or billing section (typically labelled "My Account," "Billing," or "Subscriptions").
- The exact location varies depending on BoomVPN's current website interface.
- Locate your active subscription and select the option to "Cancel Subscription," "Manage Subscription," or similar.
- BoomVPN may ask you to confirm cancellation or provide feedback.
- Confirm your cancellation request and retrieve your cancellation reference number (if provided).
- Save this reference number for your records and any future disputes.
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation page and await a confirmation email from BoomVPN support.
- If you do not receive confirmation within 48 hours, contact BoomVPN's support team to verify cancellation status.
Your refund entitlements and timeline
Refunds for BoomVPN subscriptions depend on your subscription tier, purchase channel, and how much of your paid subscription period remains unused. Understanding these conditions prevents disappointment when processing your cancellation.
Refund eligibility criteria
BoomVPN offers refunds only under specific circumstances. Monthly subscriptions purchased directly through BoomVPN's website may be eligible for a full refund if you request cancellation within seven days of purchase; after seven days, no refund is available unless you can demonstrate a service failure. Annual subscriptions qualify for pro-rated refunds if more than 60 days of your subscription period remain-meaning BoomVPN calculates a daily rate and refunds you for the unused portion. Subscriptions purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play Store follow each platform's refund policies, not BoomVPN's policies, and those platforms offer refunds only in limited circumstances (typically within 48 hours of purchase or for billing errors).
Processing refunds after cancellation
Once you cancel successfully, the timing of any refund depends on your purchase channel and whether you qualify. If you purchased via App Store or Play Store, any eligible refund is processed by Apple or Google, not BoomVPN-these companies typically issue refunds within 5 to 10 business days to your original payment method. If you purchased directly from BoomVPN, you should contact their support team within 30 days of cancellation to request a pro-rated refund if eligible; they process manual refunds within 10 to 15 business days. Your cancellation confirmation does not automatically trigger a refund-you must explicitly request one if you believe you are eligible.
What happens after your BoomVPN cancellation
Cancellation does not happen instantly; understanding the transition period prevents unexpected service interruptions and ensures you know when to expect confirmation.
Access after cancellation
When you cancel BoomVPN, your access typically ceases at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. If you pay monthly and cancel on the 15th of the month, you retain VPN access until the last day of that month. If you hold an annual subscription and cancel mid-year, you continue accessing BoomVPN until your annual renewal date (or sooner if you negotiated a pro-rated cancellation). Yafee advises checking your cancellation confirmation email to confirm your exact access end date.
Removing BoomVPN from your devices
After your access expires, BoomVPN applications remain installed on your devices but will no longer function without an active subscription. Uninstall the app from each device to free up storage space and prevent any failed connection attempts:
- On iPhone or iPad: Press and hold the BoomVPN app icon, select "Remove App," then confirm "Delete App."
- On Android: Open Settings, navigate to "Apps," find BoomVPN, and tap "Uninstall."
- On Mac: Open Finder, locate Applications, right-click BoomVPN, and select "Move to Bin."
- On Windows: Open Settings, go to "Apps," search for BoomVPN, and click "Uninstall."
Preventing accidental re-billing
After cancellation, verify that no future charges appear on your bank statement or payment method. Monitor your statements for 30 days post-cancellation; if BoomVPN or your payment processor charges you after your confirmed cancellation, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Yafee recommends setting a reminder to review your payment method statement one month after cancellation to catch any unauthorized charges.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Most users complete their BoomVPN cancellation without incident, but certain preventable errors can delay cancellation or result in unwanted charges. Awareness protects you from these pitfalls.
Cancelling through the wrong channel
The single most frequent error is attempting to cancel through an incorrect platform. If you subscribed via the App Store but contact BoomVPN's website support requesting cancellation, BoomVPN cannot process your request-they do not have authority over App Store subscriptions. Verify exactly where you purchased your subscription (check your payment method statement or original confirmation email), then cancel exclusively through that channel. Contact your payment provider's customer support if you are unsure of your original purchase method.
Confusing cancellation with uninstalling the app
Deleting the BoomVPN application from your device does not cancel your subscription or stop future charges. You must explicitly request cancellation through your account settings or the app store, not merely uninstall the software. Many users discover unexpected charges months after uninstalling because they assumed deletion equals cancellation.
Failing to document confirmation
Always capture evidence of your cancellation-whether a screenshot, confirmation number, or email. If a dispute arises, you need proof that you cancelled. Without documentation, BoomVPN or your payment processor may claim you never submitted a cancellation request. Retain all evidence for a minimum of six months.
When to escalate your cancellation dispute
Most cancellations complete smoothly, but occasionally you may encounter resistance or unauthorized charges. Yafee outlines the escalation pathway if BoomVPN fails to honour your legitimate cancellation.
If BoomVPN refuses to cancel
Contact BoomVPN's support team via their official channels (email or in-app support) and clearly state: "I request cancellation of my account [account email or subscription reference]." Provide this request in writing (email is preferable for documentation). Allow BoomVPN five business days to respond. If they refuse without legitimate cause or do not respond, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) with your cancellation request email, their refusal, and any relevant account statements.
If charges continue after cancellation
Contact your bank or payment processor immediately to dispute the charge, citing your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Most banks reverse unauthorized charges within 30 days if you dispute them promptly. Simultaneously, send BoomVPN written notice (via email) stating: "I cancelled my subscription on [date] via [platform]. I have received a charge dated [date] after my cancellation. This is unauthorized and must be refunded within 14 days." Keep this email for your CASE complaint if needed.
Filing a complaint with CASE
If BoomVPN refuses to refund unauthorized charges or honour your cancellation after 14 days, you may file a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore. Yafee recommends preparing: (1) a copy of your cancellation confirmation; (2) email correspondence with BoomVPN support; (3) screenshots of unauthorized charges on your statement; and (4) a chronological summary of all actions you have taken. CASE investigates and can mandate refunds or service restoration. Filing is free and requires no legal representation.
