How to cancel Motion and reclaim control of your subscription in singapore
What Motion is and why you might cancel
Motion is a productivity application that combines artificial intelligence with calendar and task management to automate your work scheduling. The platform synchronises with your existing calendars, intelligently reschedules your tasks around your availability, and creates protected focus time-all without manual intervention. You access Motion through its web application or iOS and Android mobile apps, making it available across your devices.
Motion operates on a subscription basis with flexible monthly and annual billing options in Singapore Dollars (SGD). The service typically includes a free trial period, allowing you to evaluate the platform before your paid subscription activates. However, if Motion does not align with your productivity workflow, costs more than you anticipated, or delivers functionality below your expectations, you retain the right to cancel at any time.
Whether you are trialling the service or an established subscriber, understanding your cancellation rights and the legal protections available to you in Singapore ensures you make informed decisions about your subscription. Yafee provides clarity on these rights and walks you through each cancellation method step by step.
When cancellation makes sense
You should consider cancelling Motion if the service fails to deliver its promised features, if you discover duplicate functionality in other tools you already use, or if the monthly cost no longer fits your budget. Early cancellation during a free trial prevents any charges from being applied to your account. If you have already been charged and the service underperforms, your cancellation grounds strengthen your case for a potential refund through consumer protection channels.
Key features you are withdrawing from
Motion's core capabilities include AI-assisted task scheduling that learns your work patterns, multi-calendar synchronisation across platforms, automated task rescheduling when your schedule changes, and intelligent focus-time protection. If these features no longer serve your needs, cancelling frees you from ongoing subscription costs. Your task data and project history remain accessible after cancellation unless you explicitly request permanent deletion.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes your legal foundation when subscribing to services like Motion.
What the law requires from Motion
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act prohibits suppliers from engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct when advertising or delivering services. Motion must clearly disclose its refund policy, billing cycles, and cancellation procedures upfront. The company cannot bury these terms in obscure locations or use language designed to confuse you. If Motion breaches these obligations, you have grounds to lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or escalate to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).
Furthermore, if Motion fails to deliver the service as described in its marketing materials, charges you without consent, or deliberately makes cancellation difficult, these actions constitute unfair trading practices. Yafee advises documenting all your cancellation attempts, screenshots of billing issues, and correspondence with Motion's support team, as this evidence strengthens your position if you need to involve consumer authorities.
Your legal position on refunds and cancellation
A critical distinction exists between cancelling your subscription and obtaining a refund. Cancellation terminates your future payment obligations and access to Motion; a refund recovers money already paid. While Motion's terms may state that purchases are non-refundable, Singapore law does not allow companies to strip away all consumer protections through one-sided terms.
If you cancel during a free trial before any charge is applied, your account simply closes with no financial impact. If you have already been charged and Motion failed to deliver the promised service, you possess grounds to request a refund through consumer protection channels. The Consumers Association of Singapore can investigate whether Motion's conduct was misleading, inadequate, or unfair, and pressure the company to remedy the situation. In contrast, if you simply change your mind after receiving a working service, refund prospects are weaker-though cancellation itself remains your absolute right.
Methods to cancel Motion in singapore
Your cancellation path depends on whether you subscribed directly through Motion's website or via an app store platform.

Pricing displayed on the App Store and Google Play may vary slightly from Motion's website due to platform fees and currency conversion. Check the exact amount in your app store's subscription settings before confirming cancellation, as this figure determines your potential refund entitlement if disputes arise.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel, the reason, and which billing platform processed your payment.
Refund scenarios under consumer law
If you cancel during Motion's free trial and no payment has been charged, refund entitlements do not apply because no transaction occurred. However, if Motion incorrectly charged you during the trial period, you possess grounds to request a full refund through your app store or payment provider.
If you cancel within 14 days of your first paid charge and Motion failed to deliver features as described, you may be entitled to a refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Similarly, if Motion's service was systematically unavailable, corrupted, or misleading in its advertising, the Consumers Association of Singapore can compel a refund. Conversely, if you received a functioning service and simply changed your mind, refund prospects depend on Motion's discretionary policy rather than legal entitlement.
What happens to your data after cancellation
Once you cancel Motion, your access to the application terminates immediately or at your next billing date, depending on the cancellation method. Your task data, project history, and calendar integrations remain stored in Motion's systems for a limited period (typically 30-90 days) before permanent deletion. If you need to export your data, do so before cancelling by downloading reports or screenshots from your account. Yafee recommends requesting a formal data export from Motion's support team in writing, as this creates a documented record of your data handling instructions.
Cancellation confirmation and billing stoppage
After you submit a cancellation request, Motion should send a confirmation email within 24-48 hours specifying your cancellation date and final billing date. Verify that your payment method no longer shows Motion in its subscription list. Check your bank or credit card statement for the first billing cycle after your cancellation date to confirm charges have ceased. If Motion continues charging you after your confirmed cancellation date, immediately dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider and lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Motion
Cancellation can feel straightforward, yet several missteps weaken your position if disputes arise-staying informed protects your rights and finances.
Relying on account deletion instead of subscription cancellation
Deleting your Motion account does not automatically cancel your subscription. Many users believe closing their account stops charges, but Motion may continue billing you if the underlying subscription remains active. Always complete the subscription cancellation process in your account settings or through your app store before deleting your account. Yafee advises confirming cancellation via email confirmation rather than assuming deletion equals cancellation.
Cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed via Google Play, attempting to cancel through Motion's website will not work-your subscription is linked to Google's system, not Motion's. Conversely, if you signed up directly on Motion's website, cancelling through the App Store will fail because these are separate accounts. Cross-check your subscription source in your account settings or payment history before proceeding with cancellation.
Missing the free trial cancellation window
Motion's free trial period typically expires after 14 days, at which point your card is charged automatically. If you cancel one day after your trial ends, your first monthly payment has already processed, and refund entitlements are weaker. Set a calendar reminder to cancel before your trial expires if you are unsure about committing.
Failing to document your cancellation attempts
If you contact Motion's support team to cancel and receive no response, having written proof of your request strengthens your position if you escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore. Take screenshots of your cancellation request emails, save confirmation messages, and note timestamps. This evidence demonstrates that you acted in good faith and that Motion failed to fulfil your lawful cancellation request.
After cancellation: next steps and dispute resolution
Once your cancellation is complete, several administrative and potential recovery steps remain within your control.
Verify cancellation and monitor your billing
Within 48 hours of cancellation, confirm that your subscription no longer appears in your app store's subscription management area. Check your bank or credit card statement for the next billing cycle to ensure Motion has stopped charging you. If you see unexpected charges after your cancellation date, take a screenshot and gather your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Request a refund if Motion breached its obligations
If Motion failed to deliver its advertised features, charged you without consent, or made cancellation unreasonably difficult, you have grounds to request a refund. Contact Motion's support team in writing with your refund request, citing specific failures. Provide your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of technical issues, and any correspondence proving your cancellation attempt.
If Motion rejects your refund request, escalate to your payment provider or app store for a chargeback or refund investigation. Both Apple and Google evaluate subscription disputes and may reverse charges if Motion's conduct was unfair or misleading.
Escalate to the consumers association of singapore
If Motion refuses to respond, denies your refund, or continues billing you after cancellation, lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE investigates breaches of the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and can compel refunds, compensation, or corrective action. Furthermore, if Motion's practices affect multiple consumers, CASE may initiate enforcement action against the company with the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).
To lodge a complaint with CASE, visit their website (typically case.org.sg), fill out their online complaint form, and attach your evidence: cancellation confirmations, billing statements, communication records, and screenshots. CASE operates at no cost to consumers and handles the investigation directly.
