How to cancel Glowfun in singapore: your legal rights and step-by-step process
What is Glowfun and why cancellation matters
Glowfun is a digital wellness platform offering guided light therapy sessions and relaxation content through mobile apps and web access. You pay a recurring subscription fee to unlock premium features and downloadable sessions for personal use at home. The service operates on auto-renewal by default, meaning charges continue until you actively cancel.
If Glowfun no longer aligns with your wellness routine, budget, or health needs, you have the legal right to cancel without penalty. Your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed-Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Glowfun's web platform. Yafee specialises in helping consumers understand their rights and execute cancellations correctly, ensuring you avoid surprise charges and billing disputes. This guide walks you through your options and protects your position under Singapore consumer law.
How glowfun's billing structure works
Glowfun operates tiered subscription plans with automatic renewal at the end of each billing cycle. When you purchase through the App Store or Google Play, the platform operator (Apple or Google) handles payment processing on Glowfun's behalf. If you subscribe directly via Glowfun's website, the company collects payment itself. Your subscription remains active until cancellation, and charges recur unless you cancel before the renewal date.
Pricing and plan features vary by platform and region. Check your confirmation email or app settings to identify your current plan and renewal date. Knowing this information accelerates your cancellation and helps you claim any eligible refund.
When you should cancel Glowfun
Cancel Glowfun if the subscription no longer delivers value, if you have identified a better alternative, or if you are experiencing billing issues. Cancelling stops future charges immediately-your access ends at the close of your current billing period. Acting before your renewal date is critical: if charges post after you decide to cancel, you may need to dispute them with your bank or the payment processor.
Yafee recommends reviewing your subscription at least 14 days before renewal. This buffer protects you if your cancellation request takes time to process. Early action also maximises your options for refunds under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when purchasing digital services like Glowfun. The law grants you specific rights over subscription cancellation and refunds.
Your legal position regarding cancellation
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the unconditional right to cancel a subscription service without penalty. The law does not require reason or justification. You retain this right regardless of whether Glowfun was purchased directly or through a third-party platform (App Store, Google Play).
The key principle is that auto-renewal clauses must be transparent and cancellation must be as easy as subscription. If you subscribed with one click, cancellation should require similarly simple action. If Glowfun makes cancellation deliberately complicated or slow, that may breach fair trading principles.
Glowfun must honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe-typically within 5-10 business days. Your subscription should not renew after you submit cancellation. If it does, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or payment processor, and you can escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) if Glowfun refuses to refund.
Refund entitlements and timeframes
Singapore consumer law entitles you to a refund if you cancel within certain conditions. If you cancel before your billing cycle end date, you are not owed a refund for the current period-you simply retain access until that date expires. However, if you are charged after submitting a valid cancellation request, you have grounds to demand your money back.
Refund timeframes depend on your payment method. Bank transfers and credit card reversals typically complete within 5-10 business days. App Store and Google Play refunds may take longer-Apple usually processes within 5 business days, Google Play within 3-5 business days. Track your refund status in your payment app's transaction history.
If Glowfun or the payment platform refuses your refund claim, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE can mediate disputes and escalate unresolved complaints to the Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) or other regulators.
Your cancellation route depends on where you subscribed: iOS (Apple App Store), Android (Google Play Store), or Glowfun's web platform. Each platform has distinct steps and refund policies. Follow the procedure for your purchase method to ensure your cancellation is processed and recorded correctly.
Cancel Glowfun on iOS through apple app store
Apple manages all iOS subscriptions centrally via your device settings. You cancel through your Apple ID account rather than within the Glowfun app itself. This ensures Apple records your cancellation and stops auto-renewal at the system level.
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll to the top of the Settings menu and tap the Apple ID banner (your name and profile photo).
- Tap Subscriptions (or Media and Purchases, then Subscriptions if you have an older iOS version).
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID account.
- Find Glowfun in the list and tap it.
- The service may appear as "Glow" or "Glowfun"-both names refer to the same service.
- If you do not see Glowfun listed, it may already be cancelled. Confirm the status date.
- Tap Cancel Subscription (or Edit Subscription, then Cancel).
- Apple may offer a retention discount or alternative plan. You can accept the offer or proceed with cancellation.
- Tap Continue to Cancellation if prompted.
- Confirm cancellation by following the on-screen prompts.
- You will receive an email confirmation from Apple within minutes. Save this email as proof of cancellation.
- Verify the cancellation status in your subscriptions list.
- The subscription should now show "Expires on [date]" or "Cancelled" status.
- You retain full access to Glowfun until that expiry date; no immediate account lockout occurs.
Critical note: If you see only "Edit Subscription" and no "Cancel" option, your plan may have already ended or been paused. Check the expiry date carefully to confirm its status.
Cancel Glowfun on android through google play store
Google Play handles Android subscriptions similarly to Apple, with centralised management through your device account settings. Cancelling via Google Play stops auto-renewal at the system level and records your cancellation officially.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select Payments and subscriptions from the menu.
- Tap Subscriptions to view all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
- Tap Glowfun (or Glow) in the list.
- The subscription details page opens, showing your plan, renewal date, and payment method.
- If Glowfun does not appear, your subscription may already be inactive. Check your email confirmation.
- Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Google Play may ask you to select a cancellation reason (optional)-you can skip this.
- Confirm your cancellation by following the on-screen prompts.
- Google Play will send you a confirmation email within minutes. Retain this as proof.
- Return to your subscriptions list to verify cancellation status.
- The subscription should now show "Cancelled" or "Expires on [date]" status.
- Your access continues until the expiry date shown.
Refund eligibility on Google Play: Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of purchase if you request them immediately. If you cancel after 48 hours, no refund applies unless you dispute the charge or contact CASE. Use the Payments and subscriptions menu to request a refund if eligible.
Cancel Glowfun via web platform (direct subscription)
If you subscribed directly on Glowfun's website rather than through an app store, you cancel through your account settings on Glowfun's platform. This method gives you direct communication with Glowfun's support team, which is useful if you need refund assistance.
- Visit the Glowfun website and log into your account.
- Use your registered email address and password.
- If you cannot access your account, use the Forgot Password option or contact Glowfun support before proceeding.
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Settings (exact label varies by platform design).
- This is usually accessible via a profile icon or menu in the top navigation bar.
- Locate your active subscription plan in the Subscription or Billing section.
- This section displays your plan name, renewal date, and payment method.
- Click Cancel Subscription or Manage Plan.
- A confirmation dialog appears, explaining what will happen when you cancel.
- Glowfun may present alternative options (downgrade to free tier, pause subscription) before full cancellation.
- Confirm cancellation and save your confirmation number if provided.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation message and save any confirmation email from Glowfun.
- These documents prove you cancelled and when.
- Verify your cancellation by logging back in and checking your subscription status.
- Your status should show "Cancelled" or "Expires on [date]".
- If the status still shows "Active", contact Glowfun support with your confirmation number.
Direct cancellation advantage: Yafee advises that when you cancel directly with Glowfun, you can ask about refunds in the same interaction. If you are within a refund window or have experienced technical issues, you have more opportunity to negotiate with the company directly.
What happens after you cancel Glowfun
Cancellation does not terminate your access immediately. You remain able to use Glowfun until the end of your current billing period. This is standard practice and protects you: you have already paid for that period, so you deserve continued access.
Access period after cancellation
After you submit your cancellation request, your Glowfun account remains fully functional until your billing cycle end date. You can continue downloading sessions, accessing premium content, and using all features you subscribed for. Your cancellation simply prevents renewal charges from posting after that date.
If you cancel mid-cycle-for example, on day 15 of a 30-day cycle-you retain access for the remaining 15 days. You do not receive a refund for those days unless you dispute the charge or Glowfun offers a courtesy refund.
Account closure and data removal
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically delete your account or personal data. Your profile, saved content preferences, and usage history remain on Glowfun's servers unless you request account deletion separately. If you wish to delete your account entirely, contact Glowfun support directly and request permanent data removal.
Glowfun is subject to Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which gives you the right to request deletion of your personal data. The company must comply within 30 days unless there is a lawful reason to retain the data. Document your deletion request in writing and keep a copy for your records.
Refund process and timelines
Refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and the platform through which you purchased. Yafee advises that most cancellations do not trigger refunds, but exceptions exist.
When you are entitled to a refund
You are entitled to a refund if you cancel within 14 days of purchase under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act-provided you did not access substantial content before cancelling. This "cooling-off period" applies to digital subscriptions purchased directly from Glowfun's website.
If Glowfun was charged to your account twice in error, or if you were charged after submitting a valid cancellation request, you have grounds for a refund regardless of timing. Contact your payment provider immediately to dispute the duplicate charge.
If you cancel after the 14-day window, refunds are discretionary. Nevertheless, if you experienced technical faults, billing errors, or Glowfun violated transparency or cancellation ease requirements under the Consumer Protection Act, you can escalate to CASE and demand recompense.
Refund request process
To request a refund, contact Glowfun support directly with your subscription details, cancellation date, and reason for the refund request. Include proof of cancellation (email confirmation, screenshot) and payment proof (bank statement, receipt). Most companies respond within 5-10 business days.
If Glowfun denies your refund request unreasonably, escalate to your bank or payment provider. Your credit card issuer or Google Play / Apple can dispute the charge on your behalf. This process, called a "chargeback," reverses the payment to your account while the dispute is investigated.
If your bank declines to help, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at 1800-6-22626 or visit www.case.org.sg. CASE can mediate the dispute and escalate unresolved complaints to regulators.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Glowfun
Cancelling Glowfun is simple once you know the correct steps, but small errors can delay the process or leave you exposed to unwanted charges. The good news is that these mistakes are entirely preventable if you follow the guidance below.
Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Many users delete the Glowfun app from their phone, believing this stops charges. It does not. Deleting the app removes the software from your device but leaves your subscription active and auto-renewal enabled. Your card will still be charged at the next renewal date.
You must cancel the subscription through your App Store or Google Play account settings, or via Glowfun's website. Deletion of the app is separate and optional-do it after cancellation if you wish.
Cancelling too close to the renewal date
If you cancel within 24 hours of your renewal date, your request may not process in time. Some platforms take up to 24-48 hours to register cancellation across all systems. If your renewal date arrives before the cancellation is recorded, you will be charged.
Yafee recommends cancelling at least 5-7 days before your renewal date to provide a safety margin. Check your confirmation email for the exact renewal date, and mark your calendar to cancel in advance.
Losing your cancellation confirmation
If you do not retain proof of your cancellation request, and you are later charged, you have no evidence to support a refund dispute. Apple, Google Play, and Glowfun all send confirmation emails. Save these immediately. Screenshot the confirmation on your device as well.
Store all cancellation documents in a folder on your computer or cloud drive (Google Drive, OneDrive). If a dispute arises, you can produce the proof within minutes.
Not checking refund eligibility before cancelling
If you fall within the 14-day cooling-off period and want a refund, request it explicitly when you cancel. Do not simply cancel and assume a refund will follow automatically. Glowfun will not refund unless you ask and your request falls within policy or legal timelines.
Yafee advises reviewing your subscription start date before cancelling. If you subscribed fewer than 14 days ago and have not accessed substantial content, state your refund request clearly in writing to Glowfun support.
Glowfun subscription pricing and plan options
Understanding Glowfun's pricing structure helps you assess whether cancellation is the right choice or if a plan downgrade is more suitable. Glowfun offers tiered plans; pricing varies by region and platform.
| Plan type |
Price (SGD) |
Billing cycle |
Key features |
| Free tier |
$0 |
N/A |
Limited sessions, ad-supported, basic content |
| Premium monthly |
$12.99-15.99 |
Monthly |
Unlimited sessions, offline downloads, ad-free |
| Premium annual |
$99-119 |
Annual |
Unlimited sessions, offline downloads, ad-free, discounted vs. monthly |
| Family plan |
$24.99-29.99 |
Monthly |

Prices and plan names are subject to change. Check the Glowfun app or website for your region's current pricing. If your monthly cost feels excessive but you value the service, consider downgrading to the free tier or annual plan (which offers savings if you pay upfront).
Before you cancel: should you keep Glowfun instead
Cancellation is the right choice if Glowfun no longer serves your needs. However, before cancelling, consider whether a plan adjustment might be more cost-effective or whether a temporary pause is available.
Reasons to keep your Glowfun subscription
Keep Glowfun if you use it regularly and it improves your wellness routine. The annual plan typically costs 20-25 per cent less than paying monthly; if you are on a monthly plan and use the service, switching to annual at renewal saves money. Some users benefit from the offline download feature when travelling.
If you find the service valuable but cost is the issue, contact Glowfun support and ask about promotional discounts or loyalty offers. Many platforms offer reduced rates to long-term subscribers considering cancellation. Yafee has seen cases where users negotiated shorter contracts or discounted rates simply by asking.
Alternative options before full cancellation
Many platforms allow you to pause rather than cancel. Check Glowfun's Account Settings to see if a pause option exists. This temporarily suspends charges while keeping your data and preferences intact. If you re-subscribe within 30-90 days, you often receive a discount.
Downgrading to the free tier is another option. You lose premium features and see ads, but you retain the core app and some sessions. This is useful if you wish to keep Glowfun in your routine but cannot justify the cost right now.
Escalation and dispute resolution if Glowfun refuses to cancel
In rare cases, Glowfun may fail to process your cancellation request, continue charging after you cancel, or refuse to refund. Singapore's consumer framework provides clear escalation routes. Yafee advises that your case is stronger if you follow these steps methodically.
Step 1: document everything and send a formal request
If Glowfun does not cancel within 5 business days of your request, send a formal cancellation and refund request in writing. Email Glowfun's support team with the subject line "Formal Cancellation Request and Refund Demand". Include your account details, subscription start date, cancellation request date, and confirmation number if you have one. Request a written response within 7 days.
Keep a copy of every email you send. Do not rely on phone calls unless you follow up in writing.
Step 2: dispute the charge with your bank or payment processor
If Glowfun continues to charge you after a valid cancellation request, contact your bank or payment provider immediately. Dispute the charge in your banking app or by calling the bank directly. Provide your cancellation proof and request a refund or chargeback.
Your bank will investigate on your behalf and often reverse the charge within 10-15 business days while the dispute is pending. This does not affect your credit score unless the dispute is ruled against you (which is rare if you have cancellation proof).
Step 3: escalate to the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Glowfun refuses your refund claim and your bank cannot help, contact CASE. CASE is Singapore's independent consumer advocacy body. They can mediate disputes with merchants and, if necessary, escalate complaints to regulators such as the Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA).
Contact CASE at 1800-6-22626 (Monday to Friday, 9am-5.30pm) or visit www.case.org.sg. Provide CASE with copies of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, and bank dispute details. CASE can push Glowfun to honour your cancellation or refund your money.

Summary: key takeaways on cancelling Glowfun
Cancelling Glowfun is straightforward if you follow the correct steps for your platform. You have a legal right under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act to cancel without penalty at any time. Your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed: iOS (Apple App Store), Android (Google Play), or Glowfun's website. In all cases, you must cancel through the platform's settings, not by deleting the app.
Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing cycle after cancellation; you do not lose access immediately. Refunds are not automatic unless you fall within the 14-day cooling-off period or Glowfun breached transparency or cancellation rules. If Glowfun refuses your cancellation or refund request, escalate to your bank, then to CASE if necessary.
Act at least 5-7 days before your renewal date to provide a safety margin, and retain all cancellation confirmations. If your cancellation fails or you are charged after cancelling, dispute the charge with your bank immediately. Yafee recommends reviewing your subscription at least quarterly to ensure it still delivers value and that you are not being overcharged.
