Frequently asked questions
Cancel Loop: Your Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Loop subscription in south africa: the complete legal guide
What is Loop and why cancellation matters
Loop is a South African company that operates two distinct services: a zone-based 5G mobile data device service and delivery management software for logistics teams. Understanding which Loop product you subscribe to is your first step toward cancelling with confidence and protecting your consumer rights under South African law.
The two Loop products explained
Loop's mobile data service provides zone-based connectivity through a device you either use free or purchase outright. Monthly plans range from R475 to R675, depending on data allowance and zone access. Alternatively, Loop's delivery management platform helps logistics businesses plan routes, dispatch drivers, and track proof of delivery, with the Startup plan beginning at R1,750 per month.
If you subscribed via the App Store or Google Play, you are using the mobile data service. If you signed up directly at Loop.co.za or through Loop's website, you likely use the delivery software platform. This distinction matters because each service has different cancellation procedures and notice periods governed by South African consumer law.
Common reasons customers cancel Loop
You may be cancelling because your business no longer requires delivery management software, your mobile data needs have changed, or you have found a more cost-effective alternative. Whatever your reason, Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations with clarity and without hidden charges.
Your consumer rights in south africa when cancelling Loop
South African consumer law grants you specific protections when you decide to cancel a subscription service, and Loop must comply with these statutory rights.
Protection under the consumer protection act
The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 is the primary legislation governing distance contracts (including online subscriptions) in South Africa. Under this Act, you have the right to cancel most distance contracts within 14 calendar days of purchase, provided you have not yet received or materially used the service. This cooling-off period is automatic and does not require Loop's permission.
However, Loop's standard terms state that once a subscription period has commenced, all fees are non-refundable. This clause may conflict with your statutory cooling-off rights depending on the service type and whether you have actually used the service. If Loop refuses your refund within the 14-day window and you have evidence you did not materially use the service, you can lodge a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC) or your provincial consumer protection authority.
Your legal position: You are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 regardless of what Loop's terms say. If Loop refuses to honour your 14-day cancellation right, the NCC has the power to investigate and compel a refund. Keep records of your purchase date, payment confirmation, email address, and any communication with Loop support.
Refund rights for in-app purchases
If you purchased your Loop subscription through the App Store or Google Play, you are protected by Apple's or Google's refund policy in addition to South African consumer law. Both platforms allow refunds within 48 hours of purchase for most apps and subscriptions. After 48 hours, you must contact Loop directly, but the app store's policy provides your first line of appeal and often supersedes Loop's own terms.
Loop pricing and plan structures for 2024-2025
Loop's pricing varies significantly depending on whether you choose a device-based data plan or delivery management software. Understanding your current plan helps you calculate any outstanding charges and plan your cancellation timeline.
Current Loop pricing in south african rands

| Loop Unlizones (free device) | R675 | Monthly | 10 GB data; Open + 1 unlimited zone; device returned on cancellation |

| Startup (delivery software) | R1,750 | Monthly | Up to 50 deliveries per day; basic analytics; email support |
Why you should (and should not) cancel Loop
Before you proceed with cancellation, assess whether your reasons align with Loop's service limitations or whether a plan change might solve your problem at lower cost.
Reasons to cancel Loop
- You have found a competitor with better pricing or coverage in your service area.
- Your business no longer operates in Loop's supported zones or regions.
- You are consolidating subscriptions to reduce monthly expenses.
- Loop's data allowance no longer meets your usage patterns.
- You experience persistent technical issues or poor customer service.
- You are downsizing operations and no longer need the delivery management features.
Reasons you might reconsider cancellation
- You are charged a cancellation fee or early termination penalty under your contract.
- You have a long-term contract locked at a promotional rate that will not be available if you restart later.
- Switching costs (new device, setup fees, or onboarding time) exceed your monthly savings.
- Loop offers a temporary discount or plan downgrade that addresses your primary concern.
How to cancel Loop: step-by-step procedures
Your cancellation method depends on which Loop service you use and how you subscribed. Yafee recommends following the procedure specific to your platform to ensure your request is processed without delay.
Cancel Loop mobile data service (App store or google play)
- Open the App Store (Apple) or Google Play Store on your device.
- On iPhone: tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- On Android: tap the menu icon (three lines) and select "Subscriptions".
- Find and select the Loop subscription.
- Apple: navigate to "Subscriptions" and locate "Loop".
- Google: scroll to "Active subscriptions" and tap "Loop".
- Select "Cancel subscription" or "Unsubscribe".
- Confirm that you want to cancel when the platform prompts you.
- Note the cancellation date provided by the app store.
- Contact Loop support at your earliest convenience to arrange device return (if you are using a free-loaned device).
- Email: [email protected] or use the contact form on Loop.co.za.
- Include your subscription number and cancellation date from the app store.
- Request prepaid courier pickup or clarification on drop-off locations.
- Return the device within the agreed timeframe to avoid incurring additional charges.
- Obtain proof of return (courier tracking number or receipt).
- Keep this evidence for your records and potential refund disputes.
Cancel Loop delivery management software (direct account)
- Log in to your Loop account at loop.co.za using your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, select "Forgot password?" and follow the reset process.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription dashboard.
- Look for "Billing", "Subscription", "Plan", or "Account Settings".
- The exact label depends on Loop's current interface.
- Select "Cancel subscription" or "Downgrade plan".
- If you see a downgrade option, review whether a lower-cost plan (e.g., Free or Startup) meets your needs before full cancellation.
- Confirm your reason for cancellation (Loop may offer a retention discount or alternative at this stage).
- Review any retention offers carefully-savings often apply only to the first billing cycle.
- Confirm your cancellation and note the effective date.
- Loop should email a confirmation within 24 hours. If you do not receive one, contact support immediately.
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation date and any outstanding refunds.
- Email [email protected] and include your request in the subject line: "Cancellation Confirmation Required".
Cancel Loop via direct customer support (alternative method)
- Locate Loop's customer service contact details.
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: check loop.co.za for the current support number.
- Use the contact form on Loop's website if neither email nor phone is readily available.
- Compose your cancellation request email with the following information:
- Full name and email address registered to the account.
- Subscription plan name and account number (if you have it).
- Reason for cancellation (optional, but useful for obtaining a retention offer).
- Requested cancellation effective date (ideally end of your current billing cycle).
- Request for written confirmation and any refund calculation.
- Send your email and retain a copy for your records.
- Take a screenshot of the sent email and the exact timestamp.
- Allow Loop 3-5 business days to respond.
- If you receive no response within 5 days, escalate to the National Consumer Commission.
- Review Loop's response and confirm the cancellation date and any refund amount.
- If Loop disputes your refund claim, request the specific contractual clause that authorizes the refusal.
- Monitor your bank account or payment method for the cancellation to take effect and any refund to process.
- Refunds typically take 5-10 business days to appear, depending on your bank.
Refund eligibility and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel relative to your billing cycle and how much of the service you have used. Yafee advises understanding these rules before you cancel to avoid disappointment.
When Loop must refund your money
- Within 14 days of your initial purchase and before you have materially used the service (statutory cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008).
- If you cancel mid-cycle and your contract explicitly permits pro-rata refunds.
- If Loop fails to deliver the service or breaches its contractual obligations.
- If you cancel within the cooling-off period and have not accessed the delivery software dashboard or used more than a nominal amount of data.
When Loop will not refund your money
- After the 14-day cooling-off period, unless you have a specific refund clause in your contract.
- If you have used a substantial portion of your data allowance or accessed all features of the delivery software.
- If you cancel mid-cycle and your contract stipulates non-refundable fees after the service period begins.
- If you owe Loop money (e.g., device damage charges or outstanding late fees).
What happens to your Loop device after cancellation
If you subscribed to Loop's mobile data service using a free-loaned device, you must return it within the specified timeframe (typically 14-30 days). Loop will usually arrange courier pickup at no cost, or you can drop it at a designated location. If you purchased the device outright, it remains your property and you retain ownership after cancellation. If you fail to return a loaned device, Loop may charge you for the device cost (typically R800-R1,500 depending on the model).
Common mistakes customers make when cancelling Loop
Cancellation is straightforward once you know the rules, but avoidable errors can delay your exit and cost you money. Yafee has identified the most frequent mistakes so you can sidestep them.
Failing to cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period
The moment you pass day 14 from purchase, your statutory right to cancel expires. After that date, you can only cancel by invoking specific contractual clauses or by disputing Loop's refusal with the National Consumer Commission. If you are unsure whether you fall within the window, contact Loop immediately with your purchase date and request written confirmation of your remaining cooling-off days.
Cancelling through the wrong channel
Cancelling via email is legally valid, but Loop may claim they never received it. Always use registered email, take screenshots, and request read receipts. Avoid cancelling through social media or third-party messaging apps-these create no auditable record. If Loop's website has an automated cancellation tool, use it in addition to emailing support, as this creates a digital timestamp.
Returning a device late or without proof
Loop reserves the right to charge you for a device that is not returned within 30 days of cancellation. Always obtain a courier tracking number or drop-off receipt and email it to Loop. Do not assume the courier will notify Loop automatically.
Not requesting written confirmation of your cancellation date
A verbal or chat-based cancellation is legally valid, but Loop may dispute the date if a billing dispute arises later. Always request a follow-up email confirming your effective cancellation date and any refund amount. This protects you if Loop continues to charge you after your cancellation should take effect.
Timeline and billing: what happens before and after cancellation
Understanding when charges stop and refunds arrive helps you plan your cancellation strategically and avoid unexpected billing surprises.
Pre-cancellation (before you cancel)
- Check your billing date: your subscription renews on the same day each month. If your renewal is in 3 days, you may choose to cancel immediately or wait until after the renewal to minimize charges.
- Calculate pro-rata usage: if you have used the service for 10 days of a 30-day cycle and your plan costs R475, you may owe R158 (10 days) and could receive a refund of R317 (20 days unused), depending on Loop's refund clause.
- Review your contract: check whether your agreement permits pro-rata refunds or treats the entire billing cycle as non-refundable once it begins.
Day of cancellation (timing)
- If you cancel before your renewal date, your service typically stops at the end of the current billing cycle (no mid-cycle termination charge).
- If you cancel after your renewal date, you are usually committed to the full cycle and cannot receive a refund unless you fall within the 14-day cooling-off window.
- Some providers, like Loop, may stop your service immediately upon cancellation, especially for delivery software. Request clarification from support.
Post-cancellation (after you cancel)
- Days 1-3: Loop sends a cancellation confirmation email (if you cancelled online) or acknowledges your email request.
- Days 4-7: your service is deactivated. For mobile data, you will no longer have connectivity. For delivery software, your account login will be disabled.
- Days 8-30: any refund processes through your bank. Refund timelines vary (5-10 business days depending on your bank).
- Days 30+: if you have not received your refund and you are entitled to one, escalate to your bank or the National Consumer Commission.
Traps and disputes: what Loop might argue
If Loop refuses your cancellation or refund request, understanding their common arguments helps you respond with legal precision and escalate appropriately.
Loop claims you have no refund right because the billing cycle has begun
This is a common dispute. Loop will cite its non-refundable fee clause, but the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 states that distance contracts can be cancelled within 14 days if you have not materially used the service. "Materially used" means you have engaged meaningfully with the product. Simply being charged does not constitute material use if you have not accessed the data or software. If Loop refuses to refund you within 14 days of purchase and you have not used the service, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (ncc.org.za).
Loop claims you owe them money for device damage or late fees
Loop may offset your refund against outstanding charges. Request an itemized invoice showing the damage claim or late fee. If the charge is excessive or unjustified (e.g., normal wear and tear being charged as damage), dispute it in writing and request a revised calculation. Do not pay the disputed amount; instead, ask Loop to confirm the net refund after deductions and provide written justification for each deduction.
Loop claims they never received your cancellation request
If you emailed your cancellation request and Loop denies receipt, provide proof: a screenshot of the sent email, email headers showing delivery, or a copy of your email from your sent folder. Most email services (Gmail, Outlook) provide read receipts if you request them. If Loop continues to deny receipt, escalate to the National Consumer Commission with your email evidence as an attachment.
After cancellation: next steps and protecting yourself
Once Loop confirms your cancellation, your responsibility shifts to monitoring your account and ensuring no unauthorized charges continue. Yafee recommends following these steps to finalize your exit cleanly.
Monitor your bank account for stray charges
For 60 days after your cancellation effective date, check your bank statement weekly for any Loop charges. If Loop charges you after your cancellation date, immediately dispute the charge with your bank as an unauthorized debit. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank will typically reverse the charge within 10 business days and initiate a chargeback against Loop.
Delete your Loop app and remove stored payment details
If you used the mobile data service, uninstall the Loop app from your device. If you have stored your credit card or payment details in Loop's online account, log in (if you can still access your account) and remove them. This prevents accidental re-subscription if Loop's system malfunctions or if you forget you cancelled.
Request Loop to delete your personal data (optional)
Under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), you have the right to request that Loop delete your personal information once your contract terminates. Email [email protected] with the subject line "Personal Data Deletion Request" and include your full name, email, and account number. Loop must respond within 30 days. This step is optional but advisable if you prefer not to remain in their database.
Keep your cancellation documentation indefinitely
- Cancellation confirmation email from Loop or app store receipt.
- Screenshots of your cancellation request and confirmation.
- Courier tracking number or device return receipt (if applicable).
- Bank statement showing the cancellation date and final charge.
- Bank statement or email confirmation of any refund received.
Store these files in a dedicated folder (digital or physical) for at least 3 years. If a dispute arises with your bank or the National Consumer Commission, these documents are your evidence.

Escalation: what to do if Loop refuses your cancellation or refund
If Loop ignores your cancellation request, denies your refund claim, or continues to charge you after your cancellation date, you have formal legal recourse in South Africa. Yafee recommends pursuing these channels systematically.
Step 1: send a formal demand letter to Loop
Compose a letter (email is acceptable) addressed to Loop's management and marked "Urgent: Cancellation and Refund Dispute". Include your full name, account number, the date you requested cancellation, the date Loop should have honoured your request, the amount in dispute, and the legal basis for your claim (Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, section 17, for example). Request that Loop respond within 10 business days with either a confirmation of cancellation or a detailed written explanation of why they believe they are not obligated to refund you. Keep a copy of this letter.
Step 2: file a complaint with the national consumer commission
If Loop does not respond or refuses to honour your claim within 10 days, lodge a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). You can file online at ncc.org.za or submit a paper complaint by post. The NCC investigates disputes free of charge and has the power to compel Loop to refund you, pay penalties, and correct unfair contract terms. Provide copies of all correspondence (your cancellation request, Loop's response or lack thereof, your formal demand letter, and any evidence of charges post-cancellation).
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank
If Loop continues to charge your account after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback or reversal. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and a copy of the unauthorized charge on your statement. Your bank will initiate a dispute on your behalf and typically reverse the charge within 10-15 business days. Loop will then receive a chargeback notice from your bank and must respond or lose the disputed amount.
Step 4: seek legal advice if the amount is significant
If the disputed amount exceeds R2,000 and Loop refuses to budge, consult a consumer law attorney. Many offer free initial consultations and can send a formal attorney's letter demanding refund within 7 days. Loop is far more likely to comply when threatened with legal action, and an attorney's involvement typically resolves disputes within days.

| Vodacom Red or MTN Prepaid | Traditional mobile data | R29-R499/month | Pay-as-you-go (no notice) | No refund (prepaid model) |
| Starlink (residential broadband) | Fixed wireless broadband | R1,099/month | 30 days written notice | Not applicable (not a distance contract) |
| Loop (delivery software) | Route planning and dispatch | R1,750/month | 30 days (check contract) | Yes (if within 14 days and service unused) |
