How to cancel Followvpn in singapore: your legal rights and step-by-step guide
What is Followvpn and why cancellation matters
Followvpn is a subscription-based virtual private network service that encrypts your internet traffic and masks your IP address. You access the service through a mobile app or web interface, paying a recurring fee-typically monthly or annually-to maintain your connection. Many users in Singapore subscribe to VPN services for privacy protection, security on public WiFi networks, or to access content with geographical restrictions.
You may decide to cancel Followvpn for several legitimate reasons: the service delivers slower speeds than expected, you're not using it regularly enough to justify the cost, or you've found an alternative VPN provider that better suits your needs. Whatever your reason, understanding your legal rights and the cancellation process protects you from unwanted charges and ensures a clean break from the service.
Common reasons users cancel Followvpn
You might cancel because the connection speed falls below your requirements, because the app drains your device battery faster than anticipated, or because it conflicts with other applications. Some users cancel after a free trial expires and decide the subscription cost no longer aligns with their budget. Others discover that Followvpn's server locations don't meet their specific needs, or they've switched to a competitor offering better features at a lower price.
Why you need to act with documentation
Followvpn operates with limited publicly available documentation. There is no official Help Centre, published Terms of Service, or verified cancellation policy page readily accessible through standard online searches. This absence of transparency means you must be proactive: gather your order confirmation email and payment receipt now, document every cancellation request, and ensure you receive written confirmation that your subscription has ended. Yafee recommends taking screenshots of all communications before you initiate cancellation, so you have evidence if billing disputes arise later.
Your consumer rights in singapore
Singapore law grants you explicit protections when cancelling subscription services, and you must understand these rights before proceeding.
Key protections under the consumer protection (Fair trading) act
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes that Followvpn cannot hide cancellation procedures in vague or obscure language, cannot charge you after you've formally requested cancellation, and cannot misrepresent the terms or costs of the service. The Act also prohibits unfair contract terms-meaning Followvpn cannot impose unreasonable penalties or lock-in periods that prevent you from cancelling.
You have the explicit right to demand transparency about refund policies, billing practices, and service termination timelines. If Followvpn refuses to cancel your subscription or continues charging you after you've submitted a cancellation request, you have legal grounds to escalate a formal complaint and recover any wrongfully charged fees.
Your legal position
You are entitled to: cancel your subscription at any time, receive written confirmation of cancellation, have all billing stop immediately upon cancellation (or at the end of your current billing cycle), and dispute any charges that occur after you've formally requested cancellation. The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act places the burden on Followvpn to prove that your cancellation was not received and processed.
Escalation routes if Followvpn refuses to respond
If Followvpn ignores your cancellation request, disputes your right to cancel, or continues billing you after cancellation, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE investigates complaints about unfair trading practices and can apply pressure on Followvpn to comply with cancellation requests or issue refunds.
Your payment provider-whether your credit card issuer, bank, or app store account-can also block future charges or initiate a chargeback if Followvpn persists in billing you after formal cancellation. Yafee advises documenting every communication attempt, including dates, times, method of contact, and the content of your request, so you have evidence when you escalate to CASE or your bank.
How to cancel Followvpn: the main methods available
Your cancellation method depends on how you originally subscribed to Followvpn-whether through an app store, a direct payment arrangement, or a third-party billing platform.
Cancellation method 1: through the apple app store
If you subscribed to Followvpn via the Apple App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you can cancel directly through your App Store account settings. This method typically stops billing within one to two billing cycles and provides immediate on-screen confirmation.
- Open the Apple App Store on your iOS device or Mac.
- On iPhone or iPad: tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- On Mac: open the App Store from your Applications folder, then click your account name at the top left.
- Navigate to "Subscriptions" (you may need to select "Account" first, then "Subscriptions").
- Locate Followvpn in your list of active subscriptions.
- Tap or click on Followvpn to open its details screen.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription".
- Confirm your cancellation choice when prompted.
- Take a screenshot showing the cancellation confirmation message, including the date and effective cancellation date.
Cancellation method 2: through google play store
If you subscribed to Followvpn via Google Play Store on an Android device, you cancel through your Google Play account settings. This method stops billing at the end of your current billing period.
- Open Google Play Store on your Android device.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.
- Select "Manage my subscriptions" or navigate to "Subscriptions".
- Find Followvpn in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap on Followvpn to view subscription details.
- Select "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Review the cancellation terms and confirm your choice.
- Screenshot the confirmation page showing your cancellation has been processed and note the cancellation effective date.
Cancellation method 3: direct cancellation with Followvpn
If you subscribed directly through Followvpn's website or provided payment details directly to Followvpn, you may need to contact their support team to cancel. Since Followvpn does not publish a dedicated cancellation contact page, Yafee recommends using these approaches in order:
- Check the Followvpn website's footer section for a "Contact Us" link or email address.
- Send a formal cancellation email to the support address, including:
- Your full name as it appears on the account.
- The email address associated with your Followvpn account.
- Your payment method (last four digits of credit card or PayPal account reference).
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Followvpn subscription, effective today."
- A request for written confirmation of cancellation.
- Send the email from the same email address you used to register your account.
- Keep a copy of your cancellation email and await a response within 5 to 7 business days.
- If Followvpn does not respond within one week, escalate by requesting a chargeback through your bank or payment provider.

Understanding refunds and post-cancellation billing
After you submit your cancellation request, you must verify that billing genuinely stops and understand what refund entitlements you may have.
What happens to your money after cancellation
If you cancel mid-billing cycle, most VPN subscriptions do not offer refunds for the unused portion of that cycle. Yafee advises checking the specific terms Followvpn presented when you signed up, but generally, your subscription will expire at the end of the current billing period, and no further charges will occur. If you subscribed to an annual plan and cancel early, some providers offer a pro-rata refund; however, Followvpn's lack of transparent cancellation terms means you may need to request this refund explicitly in writing.
If Followvpn charges you after cancellation
Monitor your bank account or credit card for at least one full billing cycle after cancellation to confirm that Followvpn stops charging. If you see a charge appear after you've cancelled, take these steps immediately:
- Log into your bank or credit card account online.
- Locate the disputed charge from Followvpn.
- Initiate a chargeback or dispute through your bank's mobile app or online portal.
- Provide your bank with:
- Your cancellation email or screenshot of your cancellation request.
- The confirmation message from the app store (if you cancelled through Apple or Google).
- A statement that you did not authorise this charge and requested cancellation.
- Your bank will reverse the charge and investigate Followvpn's billing practices.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the correct process, but a few common errors can delay your cancellation or leave you exposed to continued billing.
Mistake 1: deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Simply removing the Followvpn app from your device does not cancel your subscription. Yafee emphasises that app deletion and subscription cancellation are separate actions. You must explicitly cancel the subscription through the app store or contact Followvpn directly, even if you've already deleted the app. If you delete the app without cancelling, Followvpn will continue charging you until the billing cycle ends or you manually cancel.
Mistake 2: failing to document your cancellation request
If you cancel through the app store, take a screenshot immediately showing the confirmation message, the date, and the effective cancellation date. If you email Followvpn, keep a copy of your sent email and any response. If Followvpn disputes your cancellation later or continues billing, you will need this evidence to escalate to CASE or your bank. Yafee recommends saving these documents in a dedicated folder on your computer or phone for at least three months after cancellation.
Mistake 3: cancelling during a promotional period without understanding the terms
If you subscribed to Followvpn using a promotional discount or free trial offer, check whether cancellation triggers any clawback of the discount or early termination penalties. Some VPN services apply these charges; others do not. Contact Followvpn in writing before you cancel if you received a promotional offer, asking explicitly: "Will cancellation incur any charges or clawbacks related to the promotional offer I received?"
Mistake 4: not checking for auto-renewal terms
Followvpn may have enrolled you in automatic renewal at the time of purchase. If you subscribed during a free trial, the service may auto-renew to a paid subscription unless you explicitly cancel before the trial expires. Always check your original subscription confirmation email for auto-renewal language, and if you're unsure about the terms, escalate your cancellation request with a statement that you do not consent to auto-renewal.
Timing and effective cancellation dates
Understanding when your cancellation takes effect prevents confusion about final charges and billing cycles.
Cancellation via app store
When you cancel through Apple App Store or Google Play, your subscription typically remains active until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on the 15th of a month but your subscription renews on the 20th, you retain access until the 20th, and no charge occurs on that date. The app store displays the exact cancellation effective date when you confirm cancellation, so take note of this date.
Cancellation via direct contact with Followvpn
If you email Followvpn to cancel, the effective cancellation date depends on when Followvpn processes your request. Aim to cancel at least seven days before your next billing date to ensure processing in time. If your next billing date is the 25th and you submit cancellation on the 20th, Followvpn may not process it in time, resulting in a final charge. Once you receive cancellation confirmation from Followvpn, note the effective date and verify that no charge appears on your next billing date.
Once you've successfully cancelled Followvpn, complete these actions to confirm the cancellation is final and protect yourself from future disputes.
Step 1: save all cancellation evidence
Screenshot or save the cancellation confirmation message, including the date received and the effective cancellation date. If you cancelled via email, save your sent email and any response from Followvpn. Store these files in a secure folder and back them up to cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, or iCloud). Yafee advises retaining this evidence for at least 12 months after cancellation, as billing disputes can emerge months later.
Step 2: monitor your next billing cycle
Watch your bank account, credit card statement, or app store billing page for at least one complete billing cycle after cancellation to confirm that no further charges occur. Set a phone reminder for your old billing date so you remember to check. If a charge appears, immediately contact your bank to dispute it and provide your cancellation evidence.
Step 3: unsubscribe from Followvpn communications
Check your email inbox for subscription confirmation emails from Followvpn. If Followvpn sends promotional emails after cancellation, you can unsubscribe by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email footer. This step does not affect your cancellation but reduces unwanted messages.
Step 4: delete your account if possible
Some VPN providers offer account deletion separately from subscription cancellation. If Followvpn provides an account deletion option, request it to fully remove your personal information from their systems. Yafee recommends contacting Followvpn support and asking: "Can I permanently delete my account and all associated personal data?" If they confirm deletion, request written confirmation and retain a copy for your records.
If Followvpn refuses to cancel
In rare cases, Followvpn may ignore your cancellation request or claim you are not entitled to cancel. You have legal remedies under Singapore law.
Escalation step 1: formal demand letter
Send Followvpn a formal written demand via email, stating your cancellation request clearly and providing a deadline. Use this language: "I formally request cancellation of my Followvpn subscription, effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation in writing within five business days. If you do not respond, I will escalate this matter to the Consumers Association of Singapore and initiate a chargeback through my bank." Keep a copy of this email.
Escalation step 2: complaint to consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Followvpn does not respond within five days, file a complaint with CASE. You can submit a complaint online at the CASE website (www.case.org.sg) or call their hotline. Provide CASE with your cancellation request evidence, screenshots, and copies of all communications with Followvpn. CASE will contact Followvpn and investigate your complaint. Yafee notes that CASE has authority to compel businesses to comply with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Escalation step 3: chargeback through your bank
If Followvpn continues to charge you after cancellation, contact your bank or credit card issuer and request a chargeback for unauthorised charges. Provide your bank with your cancellation evidence and a statement that you did not authorise post-cancellation charges. Your bank will reverse the charges and open an investigation into Followvpn's billing practices. The chargeback process typically takes 7 to 10 business days, and your bank may issue you a temporary credit while the investigation proceeds.
