How to cancel Keeps and stop unwanted hair loss treatment charges

What Keeps is and why cancellation matters

Keeps is a telehealth subscription service that delivers prescription treatments for male pattern hair loss directly to your home on a recurring billing cycle. You complete a clinical intake online, receive physician approval, and automatically receive multi-month supplies shipped every three months with a billing charge tied to each shipment. The service markets itself as a cost-effective alternative to traditional dermatology by eliminating in-person office visits, but the subscription model creates financial exposure if you delay cancellation. At Yafee, we have documented numerous consumer complaints about unexpected charges appearing after failed or delayed cancellation attempts, which underscores why understanding your exact cancellation window and preferred method directly impacts your wallet.

Keeps bills in quarterly cycles rather than monthly intervals. A single billing event charges you for three months of treatment plus a $5 shipping fee, meaning one missed cancellation deadline can result in $35 to $50 or more in an unexpected charge. If your next refill is due within 24 hours, calling customer support immediately at (833) 745-3377 is your fastest protection against a charge posting to your account. Waiting for email or chat responses could result in a charge you will then need to dispute with your financial institution. Consequently, you should treat any cancellation decision as time-sensitive.

Why Keeps cancellation is time-sensitive

The quarterly billing schedule creates a narrow window for action. Once a shipment processes, disputing the charge through your bank takes additional time and effort. Proactive cancellation before your billing date eliminates this friction entirely.

What this guide covers

You will learn the exact steps to cancel Keeps across all available channels, how to verify your cancellation took effect, what refund options exist under United States consumer law, common mistakes that extend your subscription unintentionally, and the documentation strategy that protects you if a charge appears after cancellation. By the end, you will have a clear action plan and a verification checklist.

Understanding Keeps pricing and billing cycles

Keeps operates on a predictable quarterly billing model, but the total cost depends on your selected treatment plan and whether you qualify for promotional pricing.

Each billing cycle occurs automatically every 90 days unless you cancel before the charge posts. You do not receive a reminder notice before the charge occurs, which is why proactive monitoring of your account and billing dates is essential. Yafee recommends marking your next refill date on your calendar or setting a phone reminder two weeks before the due date.

Your legal rights and the cancellation framework

Your ability to cancel Keeps and dispute charges rests on several U.S. consumer protection laws that establish your rights as a subscription customer.

The restore online shoppers confidence act and your cancellation rights

The Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), codified at 16 C.F.R. Part 325, requires that any merchant operating a negative-option feature (automatic recurring billing) must obtain your clear and affirmative consent before the first charge posts. Furthermore, you have the unconditional right to cancel your subscription easily and at any time using the same medium Keeps used to enroll you. If Keeps enrolled you online, you must be able to cancel online. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces ROSCA and investigates complaints when merchants violate these protections.

Your legal position

Under ROSCA, Keeps is legally required to provide you with a simple, online cancellation mechanism that mirrors your enrollment method. The company must not require you to call, mail a letter, or jump through unnecessary hoops. If you attempt to cancel online and the company refuses to process your cancellation, or if the cancellation fails and a charge appears afterward, you have grounds to dispute the charge and file a complaint with the FTC. You can also recover unauthorized charges through your credit card issuer's dispute process, which typically grants you a provisional credit while the investigation proceeds.

The fair credit billing act and charge disputes

The Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), 15 U.S.C. § 1666, gives you the right to dispute any charge that appears on your credit card statement if you believe it is unauthorized or incorrect. You must file a dispute with your card issuer within 60 days of the statement closing date. Once you file a dispute, your card issuer must investigate and may grant you a provisional credit within two billing cycles. If Keeps charged you after you cancelled, this is a valid dispute ground.

How to cancel Keeps: step-by-step methods

You have multiple channels to cancel your Keeps subscription, but the speed and reliability of each method varies depending on your refill timeline.

Method 1: cancel online through your Keeps account

This is your fastest and most reliable cancellation route because it creates an immediate record of your request.

1. Log into your Keeps account at keeps.com using your email address and password.
   • If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the reset link sent to your email.
2. Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section (typically labeled "Account" or "My Subscription").
   • Look for a section labeled "Subscription Status," "Manage Subscription," or "Billing."
3. Locate the cancellation option, which should read "I'd like to cancel my subscription" or "Cancel my subscription."
   • Click this button to initiate the cancellation flow.
4. Keeps may ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation or offer a retention discount. You are not obligated to accept any offer.
   • Select "Cancel anyway" or "Confirm cancellation" to proceed.
5. Wait for a confirmation message on the screen and check your email for a cancellation confirmation from [email protected].
   • Save or forward this email to yourself or to a separate folder for your records.
6. Log back into your account 24 hours later to verify that your subscription status now reads "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
   • If the status has not changed, proceed to Method 2 (phone call) immediately.

Method 2: cancel by phone (recommended if refill is within 24 hours)

If your next refill is scheduled within the next 24 hours, calling Keeps customer support is the fastest way to prevent an unwanted charge from posting.

1. Call Keeps customer support at (833) 745-3377.
   • This number is available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
2. When a representative answers, state clearly: "I would like to cancel my subscription effective immediately."
   • Do not waiver or allow the representative to offer discounts unless you genuinely want to stay.
3. Ask the representative for a cancellation confirmation number and the exact date and time of cancellation.
   • Write down this information immediately.
4. Request that the representative email you a written cancellation confirmation to the email address associated with your account.
   • If the representative refuses, ask to speak with a supervisor.
5. Verify your subscription status in your online account within 1 hour of the call.
   • The system should reflect your cancellation immediately or within a few hours.

Method 3: cancel via chat or email (slower, use only if time permits)

You can also submit a cancellation request through Keeps' chat feature on their website or via email, but these methods are less reliable for time-sensitive situations.

1. Visit keeps.com and locate the chat icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
   • Alternatively, email [email protected] with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request."
2. State your full name, account email address, and request: "Please cancel my Keeps subscription effective immediately."
   • Do not provide unnecessary details; clarity and brevity reduce the chance of miscommunication.
3. Include a request for a written confirmation and a cancellation confirmation number.
   • Ask them to confirm the exact date your cancellation takes effect.
4. Wait for a response within 24 to 48 hours.
   • If you do not receive a response within 48 hours and your refill date is approaching, call (833) 745-3377 immediately.
5. Save all email correspondence and chat transcripts in a separate folder or print them for your records.
   • These documents protect you if a dispute later arises.

Method 4: cancel by certified mail (slowest, but creates a paper trail)

If you prefer a formal written record, you may cancel by sending a certified letter to Keeps' mailing address. However, this method is slow and should only be used if other methods fail.

1. Address a letter to Keeps' customer support mailing address:
   • Keeps Subscription Cancellation Request, [Keeps corporate address - confirm via keeps.com or contact support for current address].
2. Include the following information in your letter:
   • Your full name and account email address.
   • A clear statement: "I request that my Keeps subscription be cancelled effective immediately."
   • The date you are sending the letter.
   • A request for written confirmation of cancellation.
3. Send the letter via certified mail with return receipt requested.
   • This creates proof that Keeps received your cancellation request on a specific date.
4. Allow 5 to 7 business days for the letter to arrive plus an additional 2 to 3 business days for Keeps to process it.
   • If a charge posts before Keeps processes your letter, dispute it immediately with your credit card issuer.
5. Monitor your account and credit card statement for confirmation that your cancellation processed.
   • If a charge appears after your certified letter date, you have strong proof of cancellation intent.

Refunds and credit after cancellation

Your refund eligibility depends on whether Keeps charged you before or after your cancellation request posted to their system.

If you cancel before the quarterly charge posts

You will not be charged and no refund is necessary. Your cancellation simply stops future billing. Yafee advises confirming your subscription status within 24 hours of cancellation to ensure the charge does not post while you wait for confirmation.

If Keeps charges you after you cancel

You have two dispute paths. First, contact Keeps directly at [email protected] or call (833) 745-3377 and provide your cancellation confirmation number. Keeps may issue a refund within 5 to 7 business days. If Keeps refuses or does not respond within 5 business days, contact your credit card issuer and file a dispute for unauthorized charge. Your card issuer will typically issue a provisional credit within two billing cycles while they investigate.

Unused medication or unopened shipments

Keeps does not accept returns of opened or partially used medication due to pharmacy regulations. However, if your shipment arrives after your cancellation and remains unopened, contact customer support to request a refund. Keep the package sealed and take a photograph of the sealed package with the delivery date visible. This evidence strengthens your refund request and any subsequent dispute.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Cancellation can be straightforward if you know the pitfalls. The following mistakes trap customers into paying longer than intended.

Mistake 1: relying on chat or email without follow-up

Email and chat requests are easy to lose in support queues or marked as resolved without actually processing your cancellation. Always verify your subscription status in your online account within 24 hours. If the status has not changed to "Cancelled," escalate to a phone call immediately. Do not assume silence means approval.

Mistake 2: cancelling too close to your refill date

Keeps processes refills automatically, and their system may not update in real-time. If your refill is within 24 hours, call (833) 745-3377 rather than relying on online channels. A live representative can see your account in their system and prevent the charge from processing before it hits your card.

Mistake 3: not documenting your cancellation

Always save confirmation emails, write down confirmation numbers, and note the date and time of your cancellation request. If a dispute later arises, you will need this evidence to prove you cancelled on time. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your online account showing the "Cancelled" status as well.

Mistake 4: ignoring an unauthorized charge

If Keeps charges you after cancellation, do not ignore the charge or assume it will reverse. File a dispute with your credit card issuer within 60 days of the charge appearing on your statement. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to recover the money. Additionally, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov if Keeps refuses to honor your cancellation.

Mistake 5: accepting a retention offer you do not want

Keeps may offer a discount or trial period to convince you to stay. You are under no obligation to accept this offer. If you have decided to cancel, state this clearly and do not let retention messaging sway your decision. A discount today can lead to higher charges tomorrow if you forget to cancel again.

What to do after you cancel Keeps

Cancellation does not end your responsibility; verification and monitoring ensure no surprise charges appear.

Immediately after cancellation

Check your account status in your Keeps profile within 1 hour of cancellation. The status should read "Cancelled," "Inactive," or "Subscription Ended." If it still shows "Active," your cancellation did not process. Contact support again immediately by phone.

Over the following 7 days

Monitor your email for order shipment notifications from Keeps. If you receive a shipment notification after your cancellation, contact support and provide your cancellation confirmation number. Request an immediate refund or return label.

Monitor your credit card statement

Check your credit card or bank statement for 30 to 60 days after cancellation. Keeps should not appear on any future statements. If you see a charge labeled "Keeps," "DrKp," or any Keeps-related merchant name, dispute it immediately with your card issuer. Time is critical; you have 60 days from the statement closing date to file a dispute.

Keep cancellation documentation in a folder

Maintain a digital folder containing all cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots of your account status, confirmation numbers, and the date and time of your cancellation request. Store this for at least one year. If a disputed charge arises, this documentation will be your first line of evidence.

Pricing comparison and refund options

Understanding what you would pay versus what you may recover helps you decide whether to pursue a refund dispute.

Your cancellation verification checklist

Use this checklist before you consider your Keeps cancellation complete.

• You have logged into your Keeps account and confirmed the subscription status reads "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
• You have received a written cancellation confirmation email from [email protected] containing a confirmation number and cancellation date.
• You have saved or printed this confirmation email and stored it in a dedicated folder.
• You have written down your cancellation confirmation number, the date, and the time of your cancellation request.
• You have taken a screenshot of your online account showing the "Cancelled" status.
• Your refill date has passed without a charge appearing on your credit card statement.
• You have monitored your email for 7 days and received no shipment notification from Keeps.
• You have checked your credit card or bank statement for any Keeps-related charge within 60 days of cancellation.
• If a charge appeared, you have filed a dispute with your card issuer within 60 days of the charge date.

When to escalate: FTC complaints and disputes

If Keeps refuses to honor your cancellation or rejects your refund request, escalation through federal channels is your next step.

File a complaint with the federal trade commission

The FTC enforces ROSCA and has authority to investigate merchant violations. Visit reportfraud.ftc.gov and file a complaint describing your cancellation attempt, the date you cancelled, your confirmation number (if applicable), and the unauthorized charge that appeared. Include copies of all cancellation confirmation emails and evidence of the unauthorized charge. The FTC does not resolve individual disputes, but it uses complaints to identify patterns of violation and may pursue enforcement action against Keeps.

File a dispute with your credit card issuer

Contact your credit card company by phone or through their online portal and dispute any unauthorized Keeps charge. Provide the date of the charge, your cancellation confirmation number, and copies of your cancellation email. Your issuer will investigate and typically issue a provisional credit within two billing cycles. If Keeps contests the chargeback, the issuer will notify you and may ask for additional documentation.

Contact your state attorney general

If Keeps refuses to refund and you live in a state with strong consumer protection laws (such as California, New York, or Florida), file a complaint with your state attorney general's consumer protection division. Many state AGs have dedicated divisions that handle subscription service disputes and can pressure merchants to refund customers.
