Frequently asked questions
Cancel Vibrant: The Right Way to Manage Your Subscription
How to cancel Vibrant and reclaim control of your wellness budget
What Vibrant is and when cancellation makes sense
Vibrant is a subscription-based health and wellness service operating across South Africa, delivering personalised nutrition guidance, fitness coaching and lifestyle support. If you've committed to meal plans, expert advice or ongoing wellness programmes, you're investing in your health-but sometimes the service no longer aligns with your needs, results or financial capacity.
This guide exists to help you cancel Vibrant with confidence and legal clarity. Yafee understands that walking away from a subscription can feel complicated, especially when you're unsure whether you'll lose access immediately, face additional charges or miss refund windows. We've structured this resource to remove that uncertainty and put you back in control of your spending and data.
Reasons to cancel Vibrant
You might be ready to cancel if the personalised coaching isn't delivering measurable results, if the meal templates no longer suit your lifestyle changes, if your budget has tightened or if you've found an alternative wellness provider that serves you better. There is no shame in that decision-your money and your time deserve to be invested in services that genuinely deliver.
What this guide covers
Yafee walks you through every step of the cancellation process, explains what happens to your access and data after you leave, clarifies your refund rights under South African consumer law, and flags the common mistakes that trap subscribers into unwanted charges. We've helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations, and this guide brings that expertise directly to you.
Your consumer rights as a Vibrant subscriber in south africa
Before you cancel, understand the protections South African law gives you as a consumer.
Key protections under the consumer protection act
The Consumer Protection Act (CPA), administered by the National Consumer Commission (NCC), is your legal shield. Under this legislation, Vibrant must deliver services that are of good quality, fit for purpose and as described when you signed up. If they fail-if the coaching is absent, meal plans are generic rather than personalised, or the app stops functioning-you have grounds to request a refund or cancellation without penalty.
You also have the right to clear, upfront disclosure of all subscription terms: price, billing frequency, cancellation procedure and data handling. If Vibrant buried this information or made cancellation deliberately difficult, that breaches the CPA, and you should document every instance.
Your remedies if cancellation goes wrong
Your legal position: If Vibrant refuses to cancel, continues charging after cancellation or ignores refund requests, you can escalate to the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC is South Africa's official consumer protection authority and has power to force refunds, impose penalties and hold Vibrant accountable.
Keep all evidence: email confirmations, bank statements showing charges and screenshots of your account. These documents are essential if you need to file a formal NCC complaint. Furthermore, your bank or payment provider can reverse fraudulent charges within 30 to 90 days, depending on your card issuer. Contact your bank immediately if Vibrant charges you after cancellation, providing proof of your cancellation request.
How to cancel Vibrant step by step
Cancellation routes vary depending on whether you subscribed directly through Vibrant's platform or via a third-party payment processor.
If you subscribed directly through vibrant's app or website
This is the most straightforward cancellation route. Follow these steps:
- Log in to your Vibrant account using your email and password
- If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page
- Check your email (including spam folder) for the password reset link
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section
- Look for "My Subscription", "Billing" or "Account" in the main menu
- If you cannot locate it, check the help or FAQ section for navigation guidance
- Select your active subscription plan and click "Cancel Subscription"
- Vibrant may present a retention offer (discount, pause option or free trial extension)
- You are under no obligation to accept-proceed with cancellation
- Confirm your cancellation and select your reason for leaving
- Providing honest feedback helps Vibrant improve, but is not mandatory
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation via email
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page as proof
- Note the date and time of cancellation
- Save the confirmation email when it arrives
- Check your bank or payment app within 3 to 5 business days to confirm no further charges appear
- If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately
- Report the charge as fraudulent and provide your cancellation confirmation
If you subscribed through a third-party payment platform
If you used a payment aggregator or third-party service to subscribe to Vibrant, you may need to cancel through that platform instead. Follow these steps:
- Identify which payment platform processed your Vibrant subscription
- Check your bank statement or email receipts for the merchant name
- Common payment processors include Stripe, PayFast and other South African gateways
- Log in to that payment platform's website or app with your account credentials
- Find the subscription or recurring payment section
- Look for "Subscriptions", "Recurring Payments" or "Manage Billing"
- Identify the Vibrant charge in your active subscriptions list
- Select Vibrant's subscription and click "Cancel" or "Stop Recurring Payment"
- Confirm the cancellation and save the confirmation reference number
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page
- Request written confirmation via email
- Contact Vibrant's support team directly to notify them of your cancellation
- Email vibrantdirect.co.za with your account details and cancellation proof
- Request written acknowledgment that your account is marked for cancellation
If you cannot cancel online
If the online cancellation tools are unavailable or you encounter errors, contact Vibrant's customer support directly:
- Email Vibrant at the address listed on vibrantdirect.co.za with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request"
- Include your full name, email address associated with your account and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation within 5 business days
- If Vibrant does not respond within 10 business days, escalate to the National Consumer Commission (NCC) with a copy of your email and proof of non-response
Refund policy and what you're entitled to
Yafee advises that your refund entitlement depends on your subscription terms and the timing of your cancellation request.
When you're entitled to a refund
Under the Consumer Protection Act, you have the right to a refund in the following circumstances:
- You cancel before your next billing date and have not yet been charged for the upcoming period
- Vibrant failed to deliver services as described (non-performance or misrepresentation)
- You cancel within 14 days of your initial subscription purchase (cooling-off period), provided the service has not yet been substantially used
- Vibrant charges you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request
Refund timeframes
Once you've cancelled, Vibrant should process any entitled refund within 14 to 30 business days. This timeframe allows for payment processing and bank clearing times. If your refund does not appear within 30 days, contact your bank and ask for a chargeback reference number. Yafee recommends keeping a record of your original payment date and your bank account details for reference.
What if Vibrant refuses to refund you
If Vibrant denies your refund claim and you believe you're entitled to one, request a written explanation of their decision. If their explanation does not satisfy you, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC can compel Vibrant to refund you and may impose administrative penalties if they find Vibrant acted unlawfully.
What happens to your data and access after cancellation
Cancellation does not automatically erase your personal data from Vibrant's systems.
Your data after cancellation
Once you cancel, Vibrant must respect your data privacy rights under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). You have the right to request deletion of your personal data, although Vibrant may retain certain records for legal or tax purposes. Request data deletion in writing within 14 days of your cancellation:
- Email Vibrant at vibrantdirect.co.za with the subject "Data Deletion Request"
- Ask for written confirmation that your data has been deleted or anonymised
- Request clarity on any data they retain and the legal reason for retention
Loss of access to content and services
Once your subscription ends, you will lose access to personalised coaching, meal plans, fitness programmes and any app features tied to your subscription. Download or save any recipes, workout logs or progress notes you wish to keep before your cancellation takes effect. Vibrant may provide a limited window (typically 7 to 14 days) to retrieve your data after cancellation.
Common mistakes that trap you into unwanted charges
Cancellation failures rarely happen by accident-they usually result from overlooked steps or misleading confirmation messages. Here's how to avoid them:
Mistake one: pausing instead of cancelling
Many subscription services offer a "pause" option that temporarily halts charges but keeps your subscription active. If you select pause instead of cancel, you will be automatically re-billed when the pause period ends. Always explicitly select "cancel subscription" and request permanent termination, not temporary suspension.
Mistake two: not capturing written proof of cancellation
If you cancel by phone or chat and do not receive written confirmation, you have no evidence if Vibrant later disputes your cancellation or continues charging. Always insist on written confirmation-via email or account screenshot-and save it indefinitely. This is your only protection against fraudulent post-cancellation charges.
Mistake three: assuming cancellation happens on the same day you request it
Most subscription services process cancellations on your next billing date, not immediately. If you cancel on the 20th of the month but your billing date is the 25th, you will be charged one final time on the 25th. Request cancellation to take effect on or before your next billing date to avoid this.
Mistake four: not checking your bank statement after cancellation
Even if Vibrant confirms cancellation, a billing error or system glitch can cause charges to continue. Yafee strongly advises reviewing your bank or payment app for 60 days after cancellation to catch any unauthorised charges. If you spot a post-cancellation charge, report it to your bank as fraud immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
Pricing and subscription tiers at Vibrant
Understanding Vibrant's pricing structure helps you calculate your total financial exposure and assess whether early cancellation triggers a penalty.
| Subscription tier | Monthly cost (ZAR) | What's included | Contract term | Early exit fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vibrant Lite | R299 | Basic nutrition guidance, weekly meal templates | Month to month | None |
| Vibrant Pro | R599 | Personalised coaching, meal plans, fitness tracking | Month to month or 3-month prepaid | None (monthly); proportional refund (3-month) |
| Vibrant Premium | R899 | 1-on-1 coaching, custom meal plans, priority support, lifestyle assessments | Month to month or 6-month prepaid | None (monthly); proportional refund (6-month) |
| Annual prepaid bundle (any tier) | Up to 20% discount | Same services as selected tier | 12 months locked in | Proportional refund for unused months |
| Trial period | R0 for 7 days | Full access to chosen tier | 7 days | Auto-converts to paid subscription unless cancelled before day 7 |
Early exit and prepaid refunds
If you've prepaid for 3, 6 or 12 months and cancel early, Vibrant should refund you for the unused portion on a pro-rata basis. For example, if you prepaid R1,800 for 6 months (R300 per month) and cancel after 2 months, you are entitled to a refund of R1,200 for the 4 remaining months. Request this refund in writing and follow up if it does not appear within 30 days.
Cancellation address and contact information for Vibrant
To cancel Vibrant, you have two primary contact channels:
| Contact method | Details | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Online self-service | Log in to your Vibrant account and select "Cancel Subscription" from Account Settings | Fastest cancellation; immediate confirmation |
| Email support | [email protected] - subject: "Subscription Cancellation Request" | Complex cases; record of request; disputes |
| Physical address (primary) | Vibrant Direct, South Africa (as listed on vibrantdirect.co.za) | Formal written notice (as last resort) |
Yafee recommends using online self-service or email, as both create an immediate digital record of your cancellation request. Keep all confirmations, reference numbers and correspondence for your records.
Escalation: what to do if Vibrant ignores your cancellation
If Vibrant does not cancel your subscription or continues charging you after you've requested cancellation, escalate your complaint formally.
Step one: give Vibrant 10 business days to respond
Send a written cancellation request via email (not chat or phone) to [email protected]. Include your account number, full name and the date of your request. Ask for a response within 5 business days. If Vibrant does not respond or refuses to cancel, proceed to step two.
Step two: file a complaint with the national consumer commission
The National Consumer Commission (NCC) is South Africa's official consumer protection authority. You can file a complaint online at nccsa.org.za or by post. Include:
- Your cancellation request emails and Vibrant's responses (or lack thereof)
- Bank statements showing all charges from Vibrant
- Screenshots of your account showing subscription status
- Proof of any refund requests you've made
The NCC will investigate your complaint and can compel Vibrant to refund you, cancel without penalty and pay compensation for non-compliance. Yafee has assisted thousands of consumers in escalating to the NCC, and the process typically results in a favourable outcome for the consumer within 60 to 90 days.
Step three: dispute the charge with your bank
If Vibrant continues charging you after cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider and request a chargeback or reversal. Provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence of fraud. Your bank can reverse charges within 90 days of the transaction. This action does not prevent you from also escalating to the NCC.
Summary and your next steps
Cancelling Vibrant is straightforward if you follow the correct procedure. Log in to your account, select "Cancel Subscription", capture written proof and verify within 60 days that no further charges appear. If Vibrant refuses or continues charging, escalate to the National Consumer Commission-your legal rights under the Consumer Protection Act are strong, and the NCC will enforce them.
