How to cancel Kilo Health in south africa: your step-by-step guide to stopping payments
What Kilo Health is and why you might want to cancel
Kilo Health is a subscription-based digital wellness platform operated by UAB "Kilo grupe" that delivers personalised nutrition plans, weight-management programmes and fitness coaching through mobile apps and web accounts. The service combines structured meal guidance, exercise routines and progress tracking to support your health goals.
You may decide to cancel for legitimate reasons: your fitness objectives have shifted, the programme no longer suits your lifestyle, subscription costs have become unaffordable, or you prefer an alternative approach. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to walk you through each cancellation step so you exit the service with confidence and avoid unexpected charges.
How billing works with Kilo Health
Kilo Health operates two distinct billing pathways depending on where you subscribed. If you purchased through Apple's App Store or Google Play, those platforms manage your subscription and handle auto-renewal through your device settings. If you subscribed directly on Kilo Health's website, the company itself processes billing and renews according to their terms. This distinction is critical because cancellation steps differ significantly between the two routes.
Why identifying your purchase method matters
Many South African consumers struggle to cancel because they cannot recall whether they subscribed via an app store or the web. This confusion extends the cancellation process and risks unwanted charges. At Yafee, we have found that pinpointing your purchase method in the first two minutes makes the entire cancellation process smoother and faster.

Finding your actual subscription cost
Kilo Health does not publish standard South African Rand pricing on their public website. To discover what you pay each month, open the app or log into your web account, navigate to your account settings or billing section, and review your subscription details. Check your bank statement for the most recent transaction to confirm the exact amount charged. If your bill appears in USD or another foreign currency, your bank applies an exchange rate on top of the base subscription cost.
How to request pricing information from Kilo Health
Contact Kilo Health through the in-app support chat or email support to request current ZAR pricing for your subscription tier. Keep a record or screenshot of any response, as this documentation helps if you later need to dispute a charge. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your subscription terms and the last charge before you cancel, so you have written proof of the price you were paying and the date of the most recent debit.
Your consumer rights in south africa
South African consumer protection law grants you specific legal rights that apply to digital subscription services, including Kilo Health.
The 14-day cooling-off period explained
Under the Consumer Protection Act No. 68 of 2008, you hold the legal right to cancel an online purchase and receive a full refund within 14 calendar days of the date you complete your purchase. This cooling-off period applies to subscription services purchased directly through Kilo Health's website. You do not need to provide a reason for cancellation within this window; your right to withdraw is automatic and protected by law.
Your legal position: If you purchased directly from Kilo Health (not via app store) and cancel within 14 days of purchase, you are entitled to a refund minus only reasonable direct costs incurred by the supplier in performing the service up to the point of cancellation. If you cancel outside the 14-day window, the Consumer Protection Act still grants you cancellation rights, though refund eligibility depends on the terms of your specific subscription agreement.
Cancellation rights beyond the 14-day period
Once the 14-day cooling-off period expires, your right to cancel continues under the Consumer Protection Act, but refund terms shift. You remain entitled to cancel your subscription at any time, provided you give Kilo Health written notice. However, if no cancellation clause exists in your agreement, the company may be entitled to retain payment for the current billing period. Yafee advises reviewing your subscription terms to understand whether Kilo Health permits mid-cycle cancellation with pro-rata refunds.
When app store purchases are covered differently
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store or Google Play, those platforms' consumer protection policies apply alongside South African law. Apple and Google both permit cancellation within a similar 14-day window in many regions. However, their policies may differ from Kilo Health's direct billing terms. Always check the app store's cancellation policy for your specific device and account type.
How to cancel Kilo Health via the app

How to cancel Kilo Health via direct web account
If you subscribed directly through Kilo Health's website, you cancel through your account settings on their platform.
Locating your account settings
- Log into your Kilo Health account on the website.
- Visit the login page and enter your email and password.
- If you cannot access your account, click "Forgot password" and reset it via email.
- Navigate to your account or billing settings.
- Look for a menu option labelled "Account", "Settings", "Profile" or "Billing".
- This is typically accessible from the top right corner or a sidebar menu.
- Find your active subscription.
- Your current plan and next billing date should be visible.
- Note the subscription start date to calculate whether you fall within the 14-day cooling-off period.
Submitting your cancellation request
- Locate and click the "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription" button.
- Some services display a "Pause" or "Downgrade" option; these do not cancel your subscription.
- You must select the option that explicitly ends your subscription.

- Screenshot the confirmation page or download the confirmation email.
- This proof of cancellation is critical if a charge appears after your cancellation date.
- Save the email or screenshot to a secure folder on your computer or phone.
Contacting support if the online option is unavailable
If you cannot locate a self-service cancellation option on your account page, contact Kilo Health support directly. Use the in-app support chat or email support with your account details and a clear request to cancel. Request written confirmation of your cancellation and keep a copy of all correspondence. Yafee recommends sending your cancellation request by email rather than chat so you have a time-stamped written record.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel relative to your purchase date and your subscription billing cycle.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel a direct web subscription within 14 calendar days of purchase, South African consumer law entitles you to a full refund. Kilo Health may deduct only reasonable direct costs for services already provided to you. In practice, this means you receive a refund within 5 to 10 business days if you cancel immediately after purchase. If you used the service for several days before cancelling, Kilo Health may calculate a pro-rata deduction based on the number of days of access you had.
Refunds after the 14-day period
If you cancel outside the 14-day window, your refund depends on Kilo Health's terms and your local consumer protection rights. South African law does not guarantee a refund for cancellations beyond the cooling-off period unless your subscription agreement explicitly permits pro-rata refunds or monthly cancellation with refunds. Check your original purchase confirmation email or subscription terms for any refund clause. If the terms are unclear, contact Kilo Health support and ask in writing whether you are entitled to any refund. Yafee recommends requesting a written response so you have documentation of their policy.
When refunds appear in your bank account
App store refunds (Apple and Google) typically appear within 5 to 10 business days. Direct web refunds from Kilo Health may take 7 to 14 business days, depending on your bank. If 14 business days pass and no refund has appeared, contact Kilo Health with your cancellation confirmation and request a status update. If Kilo Health does not respond or refuses a refund you believe you are entitled to under the Consumer Protection Act, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission or seek alternative dispute resolution.
What happens after you cancel your Kilo Health subscription
Cancellation ends your recurring payments, but your access and data require clarification depending on your app store or Kilo Health's specific policy.
Access to your account after cancellation
Once your cancellation is processed, Kilo Health typically removes your access to premium features. You may lose access to personalised meal plans, coaching support and progress analytics. Some services retain basic account functionality or allow you to download your data before access is fully revoked. Log into your account after cancellation to check which features remain available and whether you can export or download your fitness history, meal plans or personal health data.
Uninstalling the app
Cancellation does not automatically remove the Kilo Health app from your device. You may uninstall the app manually if you no longer wish to see it. On iOS, press and hold the app icon, select "Remove App", then confirm. On Android, press and hold the app icon, select "Uninstall", then confirm. If you think you might return to Kilo Health in the future, you may keep the app installed for convenience.
Preventing accidental reinstatement
After cancelling, do not click links in reminder emails that appear to "reactivate" or "restore" your subscription unless you genuinely wish to restart. These links can trigger a new subscription charge. Delete promotional emails from Kilo Health or move them to a spam folder to avoid accidental clicks.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward when you follow the correct steps, but several traps can delay your exit or leave you paying longer than expected.
Confusing pausing with cancelling
Many health apps offer a "pause" or "freeze" option that temporarily suspends your subscription without cancelling it. Pausing does not stop your auto-renewal; instead, it typically resumes charges after the pause period ends. If you have no intention of returning to Kilo Health, always select "Cancel" not "Pause".
Cancelling the app without cancelling the subscription
Deleting the Kilo Health app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your billing continues even if the app is no longer installed. You must cancel through your app store or web account, not by uninstalling the app. Yafee has seen this mistake cost consumers months of unwanted charges.
Missing the 14-day cooling-off deadline
If you purchase on a Monday, your 14-day window closes two weeks later on Sunday. Calendar the cancellation date immediately after purchase so you do not miss this critical deadline. If you realize too late that you wanted to cancel within the window, contact Kilo Health immediately and explain your situation; the company may process a courtesy refund even if the window has technically passed.
Failing to verify cancellation
Do not assume cancellation is complete just because you clicked "Confirm" on the website. Always screenshot the confirmation screen or email, and check your bank statement one week after the stated cancellation date to confirm no charge appeared. If an unexpected charge occurs, you have proof of cancellation to show to Kilo Health and your bank.
