Frequently asked questions
Cancel Chordify: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Chordify in south africa: your step-by-step legal guide
What Chordify is and why you might cancel
Chordify is an interactive music learning platform that automatically extracts chords from songs, enabling you to master guitar, piano, ukulele and other instruments through chord diagrams and transposition features. The service operates on a freemium model: you access basic features at no cost, and a paid Premium subscription unlocks advanced learning tools and removes advertisements. If your learning goals have shifted, your budget no longer accommodates the monthly fee, or you've discovered a platform better suited to your needs, cancelling is straightforward and protected by South African consumer law. Yafee specialises in helping South African consumers navigate subscription cancellations without confusion or unexpected charges.
When cancelling makes sense
You might cancel Chordify if you've achieved your learning objectives, prefer alternative music education platforms, or simply want to reduce your monthly subscription expenses. The advantage is that Chordify permits flexible cancellation across web, Android and iOS platforms. Before you cancel, however, verify whether you qualify for a refund under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA). Yafee recommends this verification step to recover any money to which you are legally entitled.
Chordify pricing and subscription tiers in south africa
Your current subscription cost directly influences whether cancellation suits your situation or whether downgrading to the free tier might serve you better.
Current subscription costs in south african rand
Chordify offers several payment options priced in South African Rand (ZAR). The table below shows the pricing structure you will encounter on the app or website.
| Plan | Price (ZAR) | Billing cycle | Cost per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Premium (standard) | R109.99 | Monthly | R109.99 |
| Monthly Premium (premium tier) | R149.99 | Monthly | R149.99 |
| Annual Premium (best value) | R679.99 | Annual | R56.67 |
| Annual Premium (premium tier) | R919.99 | Annual | R76.67 |
| Black Friday promotion (seasonal) | R529.99 | Annual | R44.17 |
| Free tier | R0.00 | No charge | R0.00 |
Why your billing cycle matters to refund eligibility
If you pay monthly, Chordify charges your account approximately the same date each month. Annual billing requires a larger upfront payment but significantly reduces your per-month cost. This distinction is critical: Chordify honours a 14-day money-back guarantee specifically for annual subscriptions, a detail that determines your refund rights. Yafee advises you to identify your billing date immediately so you can time your cancellation request strategically and maximise your refund eligibility under South African consumer law.
Your consumer rights in south africa
The Consumer Protection Act (No. 68 of 2008) explicitly protects your right to cancel recurring digital subscriptions and claim refunds under defined circumstances.
The consumer protection act and your cooling-off period
Under the Consumer Protection Act, you possess the legal right to cancel a continuous service agreement within a reasonable timeframe after concluding the contract. For digital subscriptions entered into online, the cooling-off period is 14 calendar days from the date you conclude the agreement. This means your cancellation must be submitted within 14 days of your purchase confirmation date. Yafee strongly recommends you retain your purchase confirmation email as proof of the contract date, as this evidence supports any refund claim should disputes arise with Chordify.
If Chordify refuses your cancellation or refund request, you may escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC), South Africa's official consumer protection authority established under the CPA. The NCC has statutory power to investigate complaints and compel businesses to honour consumer rights. You will require your subscription details, payment proof, dated cancellation request records and your purchase confirmation email to support your claim.
Your legal position
You hold these specific rights under South African law: the right to cancel a continuous subscription within 14 calendar days of concluding the agreement; the right to receive a full refund if you cancel within this cooling-off period (provided the service has not been substantially consumed); and the right to submit a complaint to the National Consumer Commission at [email protected] if the provider refuses to honour these rights. Yafee emphasises that these rights apply regardless of the provider's stated cancellation policy on their website or app.
How to cancel Chordify: your step-by-step procedure
Chordify offers cancellation via email only; no phone support channel is available.
Step 1: gather your account details and purchase proof
Before you submit your cancellation request, collect the following information:
- Your email address registered with Chordify
- Your purchase confirmation email (forwarded to you when you subscribed)
- Your subscription start date (visible in your confirmation email)
- Your current billing date or renewal date (visible in your Chordify account settings)
- Your payment method details (last four digits of card, or PayPal email if applicable)
Having this information to hand enables you to submit a clear, documented cancellation request and establishes your legal position should any dispute arise.
Step 2: open your email client and compose your cancellation message
Draft an email addressed to Chordify's support team. Include the following elements to ensure your request is processed correctly:
- State the purpose clearly in the subject line: "Request to cancel Chordify subscription"
- Address the email to: [email protected]
- In the body, include:
- Your registered email address
- Your full name
- Your subscription start date
- A statement that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately or your preferred cancellation date
- If you purchased within 14 days, state: "I am exercising my cooling-off right under the Consumer Protection Act of South Africa and request a full refund to my original payment method"
- A request for written confirmation of cancellation and refund details
A sample email structure is provided below for your guidance:
Subject: Request to cancel Chordify subscription
Dear Chordify Support,
I request the immediate cancellation of my Chordify Premium subscription registered under the email address [your email]. My subscription commenced on [date]. I am exercising my consumer right under the Consumer Protection Act of South Africa to cancel this continuous service agreement within 14 calendar days of purchase and request a full refund to [payment method].
Subscription details: [payment details]
Please confirm cancellation in writing, including the refund timeline and reference number.
Yours faithfully, [Your name]
Step 3: send your cancellation email and create a backup record
Send your email to [email protected] from the email address registered with your Chordify account. Immediately after sending:
- Take a screenshot of the sent email (showing the timestamp and recipient address)
- Save a copy of your email draft to your device or cloud storage
- Note the exact date and time you sent the cancellation request in a personal record
- Retain this documentation for at least 30 days as proof of your cancellation attempt
This backup record is essential if Chordify later disputes receiving your request or delays your cancellation.
Step 4: monitor your email for chordify's response and payment confirmation
Chordify support typically responds within 3 to 5 business days. You should receive:
- A confirmation email acknowledging your cancellation request
- Details of your refund (if applicable), including the amount and estimated processing time
- A reference number or ticket ID for tracking purposes
Refunds to credit or debit cards typically process within 5 to 10 business days; PayPal refunds may take 3 to 5 business days. Check your bank statement or PayPal account for the refund credit. If you do not receive a response from Chordify within 7 business days, Yafee advises you to follow up with a second email marked "FOLLOW-UP: Cancellation Request" and reference your original email date.
Step 5: verify your cancellation and access restoration
After receiving Chordify's confirmation email, verify that:
- Your Premium features are no longer accessible in the app or web version
- No further charges appear on your bank statement or PayPal account after the cancellation confirmation date
- Your refund has credited to your original payment method within the promised timeframe
If you wish to continue using Chordify at no cost, you retain access to the free tier with basic features. Your chord library and learning history remain accessible unless you request full account deletion.
Cancelling via different platforms: web, iOS and android
Chordify does not offer in-app cancellation; all cancellations must be initiated via email to [email protected], regardless of the platform on which you subscribed.
Cancelling from the Chordify website
If you subscribed via the web version (chordify.net):
- Log in to your Chordify account on the website
- Navigate to your account settings (usually accessible from a profile icon or menu in the top-right corner)
- Locate the "Subscription" or "Billing" section
- Review your active subscription tier and renewal date
- Note this information and proceed to email [email protected] using the procedure outlined in Step 2 above
Cancelling an iOS or android subscription
If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, cancellation involves two steps:
- Cancel your subscription through the app store (this stops future charges)
- iOS: Open Settings, tap your Apple ID, select Subscriptions, find Chordify, and tap Cancel Subscription
- Android: Open Google Play Store, tap your profile, select Payments and Subscriptions, find Chordify, and tap Cancel Subscription
- Email Chordify support at [email protected] to request a refund if you cancelled within 14 days of purchase
Cancelling through the app store immediately halts future billing. However, to claim a refund under the Consumer Protection Act, you must separately notify Chordify in writing via email with your proof of purchase.
Refunds and your money-back guarantee
Refund eligibility depends on your subscription type and the date you initiated cancellation.
Annual subscriptions and the 14-day money-back guarantee
Chordify honours a 14-day money-back guarantee for all annual Premium subscriptions. If you cancel your annual plan within 14 calendar days of your purchase date, you are entitled to a full refund to your original payment method. This guarantee aligns with and is reinforced by your cooling-off right under the Consumer Protection Act. Yafee recommends you submit your cancellation request immediately upon deciding to cancel if you fall within this 14-day window.
Monthly subscriptions and refund policy
Monthly subscriptions are more restrictive. Chordify typically does not issue refunds for monthly plans except in cases of billing errors or service failure. However, the Consumer Protection Act may entitle you to a refund if you cancel within 14 days of concluding the contract, regardless of the billing cycle. If you subscribed to a monthly plan within the past 14 calendar days, include your cooling-off claim in your cancellation email to [email protected].
Refund timeline and processing
Once Chordify approves your refund, the credit typically appears in your account within the following timeframes:
- Credit or debit card: 5 to 10 business days
- PayPal: 3 to 5 business days
- Other payment methods: up to 30 days (contact support for specifics)
If your refund does not appear within these timeframes, send a follow-up email to [email protected] with your refund reference number and original cancellation date. Yafee advises you to retain all communication from Chordify as evidence should you need to escalate a refund dispute to the National Consumer Commission.
What happens after you cancel: access, data and re-subscription
Cancellation is final; understanding what changes after you submit your request prevents confusion and regret.
Your access immediately after cancellation
Upon confirmation of your cancellation, Chordify removes your Premium features and reverts your account to free tier access. You lose immediate access to:
- Advanced transposition and audio manipulation tools
- Ad-free playback
- High-quality audio streaming
- Offline download capability (depending on your plan tier)
Your chord library, learning history and saved songs remain intact and accessible under the free tier, provided you do not delete your account.
Data retention and account deletion
By default, Chordify retains your account data indefinitely after cancellation. If you wish to permanently delete your account and all associated data, send a separate request to [email protected] stating: "I request permanent deletion of my Chordify account and all personal data held on my profile." Under South African consumer law and international privacy standards, Chordify must honour account deletion requests within 30 days. Yafee recommends you allow 10 business days for processing and follow up if deletion is not confirmed within this period.
Re-subscribing to Chordify
You may re-subscribe to Chordify at any time after cancellation by logging back into your account or downloading the app. If you previously received a promotional discount, you may no longer qualify for the same offer upon re-subscription; contact [email protected] to enquire about loyalty or return-customer discounts.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward when you follow the documented procedure, but small oversights can cause delays or disputes. Stay calm and avoid these pitfalls.
Deleting the app without notifying support
Uninstalling Chordify from your device does not cancel your subscription or halt billing. Your subscription remains active and Chordify will continue charging your payment method until you formally request cancellation via email. You must send a written cancellation request to [email protected] regardless of whether you have deleted the app.
Failing to keep your cancellation proof
If you do not retain a screenshot or copy of your sent cancellation email, you cannot prove to Chordify or the National Consumer Commission that you requested cancellation on a specific date. This evidence is crucial if Chordify claims not to have received your request or if billing disputes arise. Always save your sent email and take a screenshot showing the timestamp and recipient address.
Submitting your request after 14 days if seeking a refund
Your cooling-off right under the Consumer Protection Act expires 14 calendar days after your purchase date. If you submit a cancellation request on day 15 or later, Chordify is not legally obliged to refund your payment, particularly for monthly plans. Calculate your 14-day window immediately and submit your cancellation request well before this deadline expires.
Using an outdated email address
If your cancellation email is sent from an email address not registered with your Chordify account, support may not link your request to your subscription. Always send your cancellation email from the email address you used to create your Chordify account. If your registered email address has changed, contact support first to update it, then submit your cancellation.
Insufficient subscription details in your email
If you do not provide your registered email, subscription start date or payment details, Chordify support may delay processing your request while they locate your account. Include all relevant information in your cancellation email to enable swift processing.
What to do if Chordify refuses to cancel or refund
If Chordify does not respond to your cancellation request within 7 business days, or if they refuse to honour your cancellation or refund claim, you have legal recourse under South African consumer law.
Step 1: send a formal demand letter
Send a follow-up email to [email protected] with the subject line "FORMAL NOTICE: Refund and Cancellation Demand under the Consumer Protection Act." In this email, state:
- Your original cancellation request date
- That you are exercising your cooling-off right under the Consumer Protection Act (if within 14 days)
- The amount you are claiming as a refund
- A deadline for Chordify to respond (e.g., 7 business days from the date of this email)
- That you will escalate the complaint to the National Consumer Commission if they do not comply
Step 2: escalate to the national consumer commission
If Chordify does not respond or refuses to cancel within 7 days of your formal demand, lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). You may submit your complaint online, by email or by post:
- Online: www.thencc.org.za (Complaints Portal)
- Email: [email protected]
- Post: National Consumer Commission, 6 Braampark Drive, Braampark, Johannesburg 2013, South Africa
In your NCC complaint, attach:
- Copies of your cancellation emails and Chordify's responses (if any)
- Your purchase confirmation email and proof of payment
- Screenshots of your account showing the subscription date and amount charged
- Your formal demand letter to [email protected]
The NCC investigates complaints at no cost to you and has authority to compel Chordify to issue refunds and cease unfair billing practices. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers escalate complaints to the NCC and recover funds denied by service providers.
Comparison: cancel versus downgrade
Before you cancel entirely, consider whether downgrading to Chordify's free tier suits your needs.
| Feature | Premium subscription | Free tier | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per month | R56 to R150 | R0.00 | Free tier saves money immediately |
| Chord extraction from songs | Yes, advanced | Yes, basic | Both tiers extract chords; Premium offers refinements |
| Ad-free playback | Yes | No (ads present) | Premium if you dislike advertisements |
| Offline download | Yes | No | Cancel only if you don't need offline access |
| Learning tools and transposition | Full access | Limited | Premium suits serious learners; free suits casual use |
To downgrade instead of cancelling, log into your Chordify account and navigate to Account Settings, then Subscription. Select "Downgrade to Free" if this option is available. Downgrades typically take effect immediately and do not trigger a refund, but they halt future charges. If you do not require offline download capability and can tolerate advertisements, downgrading to free is a cost-effective alternative to full cancellation.
