Frequently asked questions
Cancel Blaze Media: The Right Way
How to cancel Blaze Media in south africa and protect your rights
What is Blaze Media and why cancellation matters
Blaze Media is a subscription-based multimedia platform offering news, talk shows, and entertainment content through BlazeTV and BlazeTV+ bundles. You pay a monthly or annual fee to access premium video content via their website and mobile applications. Many South African subscribers choose to cancel because their viewing habits have changed, budget constraints arise, or they've found alternative services that better suit their needs.
At Yafee, we understand that cancelling a subscription involves more than simply stopping payment. South African consumer law grants you specific rights throughout this process, and Yafee's role is to guide you through each step with clarity and confidence. Whether you subscribed directly through Blaze Media's website or via Apple App Store or Google Play, your cancellation pathway and refund eligibility differ significantly depending on your purchase channel.
The subscription plans and their costs
Blaze Media offers two primary subscription tiers in South African Rand. The BlazeTV monthly pass costs R299.99 per month, while the annual pass costs R2,499.99 payable upfront. BlazeTV+ follows the same pricing structure. Your chosen plan affects when cancellation takes effect and whether you qualify for a pro-rata refund if you cancel mid-cycle.
Why your purchase source determines your next steps
You may have purchased your subscription directly from Blaze Media's website, through Apple App Store, or via Google Play. Each platform operates under different terms and consumer protections. Yafee recommends identifying your purchase source first, as this determines which cancellation method applies and what refund protections you can rely on.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South African consumer law provides you with statutory protections that supersede most terms and conditions a company publishes.
The consumer protection act and your 14-day cooling-off right
The South African Consumer Protection Act (CPA), section 17, grants you a 14-calendar-day cooling-off period from the date you conclude an online transaction. This cooling-off right applies to digital subscriptions purchased directly through Blaze Media's website. Importantly, you have the absolute right to cancel and receive a full refund within this window, regardless of whether you have consumed any of the content. The cooling-off period begins on the date you enter into the contract, not the date you first access the service.
Your legal position: If you purchased directly from Blaze Media's website and cancel within 14 calendar days, you hold a statutory right to a full refund under the CPA. Blaze Media cannot deny this refund based on their own terms and conditions.
What the CPA does not cover
The cooling-off right under the CPA applies only to transactions concluded directly with Blaze Media. If you purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play, the CPA's cooling-off period does not apply. Instead, you fall under the respective app store's refund policy. Apple typically allows refunds within 14 days of purchase for subscriptions in certain regions; Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of purchase for first-time subscriptions. These timeframes are often shorter than the CPA's 14 days, so speed matters if you purchased via an app store.
Escalation to the national consumer commission
If Blaze Media refuses your refund request and you believe you have a valid right under the CPA, you can escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC) at no cost. The NCC is South Africa's statutory consumer-protection authority and investigates disputes between consumers and businesses. Before contacting the NCC, gather all purchase receipts, transaction confirmation emails, bank statements showing the charge, and any cancellation request emails you sent to Blaze Media. These documents form the foundation of your complaint and significantly strengthen your case when the NCC reviews it.
How to cancel Blaze Media through their website
If you subscribed directly through Blaze Media's website, follow these steps to cancel and protect your cooling-off rights.
Step one: log into your account
Navigate to Blaze Media's website and click the login button. Enter the email address and password associated with your subscription account. If you cannot remember your password, click the "Forgot Password" link and follow the reset instructions Blaze Media emails to you. Verify that you have received and opened the password reset email before attempting to log in again.
Step two: locate your subscription management page
Once logged in, look for a menu option labelled "My Account," "Account Settings," "Billing," or "Subscription Management." This section typically appears in the main navigation menu or in a dropdown menu associated with your profile icon. Click this option to access your subscription details.
Step three: identify your active subscription
Your subscription management page displays your current subscription tier (BlazeTV or BlazeTV+), your payment frequency (monthly or annual), and the date of your next scheduled charge. Make a note of these details before proceeding with cancellation, as you will need to confirm them in your cancellation request.
Step four: initiate the cancellation request
Look for a "Cancel Subscription," "Stop Payment," or "Unsubscribe" button on your subscription management page. Click this button to begin the cancellation process. Blaze Media may present you with a brief survey asking why you are cancelling; you are not obligated to complete this survey, but doing so may help the company improve its service. Submit your cancellation request.
Step five: confirm and document the cancellation
Blaze Media should display a confirmation message indicating that your cancellation request has been received. The message typically specifies the date your subscription will terminate and any refund you may be entitled to. Screenshot this confirmation page and save it to your device. Additionally, request a cancellation confirmation email from Blaze Media by checking your email inbox within 24 hours. If no email arrives, log back into your account and check whether your subscription status now shows as "Cancelled" or "Active Until [date]."
How to cancel through apple app store
If you subscribed to Blaze Media via Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple, not directly through Blaze Media's website.
Step one: open the app store app on your device
On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, launch the App Store application. Tap or click your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen to access your account menu.
Step two: navigate to your subscriptions
Select "Subscriptions" from the account menu. You will see a list of all active and recently cancelled subscriptions associated with your Apple ID. Find "Blaze Media," "BlazeTV," or "BlazeTV+" in this list and tap to open the subscription details.
Step three: select cancel subscription
On the subscription detail page, tap "Cancel Subscription." Apple will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may display reasons why you are cancelling. You are not required to provide feedback; you may proceed directly to the cancellation confirmation.
Step four: confirm and check your status
Apple displays a confirmation that your subscription is now cancelled. The confirmation specifies the date on which your access will end. Screenshot this screen. Apple typically sends a confirmation email to your registered email address within minutes. Your subscription will remain active until the specified end date; you will not lose access mid-cycle if you cancel before your next billing date.
How to cancel through google play
If you subscribed to Blaze Media via Google Play, you must initiate cancellation through the Google Play app or website, not through Blaze Media directly.
Step one: open google play on your android device or web browser
On an Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store app. At the bottom of the screen, tap "Account." On a web browser, visit play.google.com and click your profile icon in the top right, then select "Manage your Google Account."
Step two: navigate to subscriptions
In the Account section, select "Subscriptions" or "Manage Subscriptions." You will see a list of all subscriptions linked to your Google Play account. Find "Blaze Media," "BlazeTV," or "BlazeTV+" and tap to open the subscription details page.
Step three: cancel the subscription
On the subscription detail page, select "Cancel Subscription." Google Play will display cancellation options; confirm that you wish to cancel and proceed. Google Play will provide a confirmation screen specifying the exact date your access ends. Google Play subscriptions typically remain active until the end of the current billing cycle if you cancel before the next billing date.
Step four: verify cancellation via email
Google sends a confirmation email to your registered Gmail address. Verify that this email has arrived within 24 hours. If you do not receive a confirmation email, log back into the Google Play app and check whether the subscription status has changed to "Cancelled" or displays an end date.
Timeline for refunds and access termination
Understanding what happens after you cancel is crucial to managing your expectations and protecting your rights.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel your Blaze Media subscription within 14 calendar days of purchase through their website, you qualify for a full refund under the CPA. You should initiate the cancellation as soon as possible and keep your cancellation confirmation. Blaze Media is legally required to process your refund within a reasonable timeframe. In practice, full refunds typically appear in your bank account within 5 to 10 business days after Blaze Media processes your request. If your refund does not appear within 10 business days, contact your bank and provide them with your cancellation confirmation and Blaze Media's transaction reference number.
Partial refunds after the cooling-off period
If you cancel after 14 calendar days but before your current subscription period ends, you may not be entitled to a refund under the CPA. However, you remain entitled to full access to the service until the end of your paid period. Some companies offer pro-rata refunds for the unused portion of an annual subscription as a goodwill gesture, but this is discretionary and not a legal requirement. Contact Blaze Media to request a partial refund and provide your cancellation date and the end date of your current subscription period.
Access after cancellation
Your access to Blaze Media content terminates on the date specified in your cancellation confirmation. If you cancelled a monthly subscription, your access typically ends on the date of your next scheduled payment. If you cancelled an annual subscription, your access typically remains active until the anniversary of your original purchase date. You will receive a final access reminder email several days before your subscription expires.
Pricing table for reference
| Plan | Monthly cost (ZAR) | Annual cost (ZAR) | Cancellation period |
|---|---|---|---|
| BlazeTV | R299.99 | R2,499.99 | 14 days (CPA cooling-off) |
| BlazeTV+ | R299.99 | R2,499.99 | 14 days (CPA cooling-off) |
| Via Apple App Store | Variable | Variable | 14 days (Apple policy) |
| Via Google Play | Variable | Variable | 48 hours (Google policy) |
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay your refund or cost you extra charges.
Assuming your cancellation is final without confirmation
Many consumers click "Cancel" and assume the subscription has ended. In reality, Blaze Media may still charge you on your next billing date if you did not receive an explicit confirmation. Always wait for and screenshot a cancellation confirmation page or email before relying on the cancellation being complete. Yafee advises checking your account settings 24 hours after cancellation to verify that your subscription status shows as "Cancelled" or displays a termination date.
Failing to cancel before your next billing date
Your next charge occurs on your scheduled billing date unless you cancel before that date. If you cancel one day after being charged, you will not receive a refund for that charge unless the cancellation falls within your 14-day cooling-off period. Mark your next billing date on your calendar and cancel at least two days before to avoid an unwanted charge.
Confusing app store refunds with website refunds
Apple and Google impose refund deadlines that differ from the CPA's 14-day cooling-off period. If you purchased via Apple App Store, you typically have 14 days; if you purchased via Google Play, you typically have 48 hours. After these windows close, neither platform will issue a refund, even if you request one immediately. Yafee recommends cancelling through the app store within these shorter timeframes if you purchased via an app.
Not saving your cancellation confirmation
If a dispute arises between you and Blaze Media, your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot is your strongest evidence. Without this documentation, the NCC will have difficulty investigating your complaint. Save all cancellation-related emails and screenshots to a dedicated folder on your device or cloud storage.
After your Blaze Media subscription ends
Your subscription has been cancelled, but your relationship with the company does not end immediately.
Verify that you are no longer being charged
Check your bank statement or credit card bill on your next expected billing date. If a charge for Blaze Media appears, contact your bank immediately and dispute the charge as unauthorised. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation. You may also file a complaint with the NCC if Blaze Media continues to charge you after your cancellation was confirmed.
Delete the app if desired
If you wish to remove Blaze Media from your device, uninstall the app through your device's app store or settings. This action does not affect your subscription status; it simply removes the application from your phone or tablet. Your cancellation remains in effect regardless of whether the app is installed on your device.
Monitor for reactivation attempts
Some companies send promotional emails or automatically reactivate subscriptions after a cancellation cooling-off period expires. If you receive a promotional email from Blaze Media after cancellation, do not click links or open attachments from unknown senders. If your subscription reactivates without your consent, contact Blaze Media immediately and request a refund for all charges incurred after your original cancellation date.
Comparison of cancellation methods
| Cancellation method | Processing time | Refund window | Applicable law |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blaze Media website | Immediate | 14 calendar days (CPA) | Consumer Protection Act |
| Apple App Store | Immediate | 14 days (Apple policy) | Apple terms |
| Google Play | Immediate | 48 hours (Google policy) | Google terms |
| Email to Blaze Media support | 1-2 business days | 14 calendar days (CPA) | Consumer Protection Act |
| National Consumer Commission complaint | Up to 30 days | 14 calendar days (CPA) | Consumer Protection Act (enforceable) |
What to do if Blaze Media refuses your refund
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers recover refunds when companies wrongfully deny their rights under South African law.
Step one: send a formal refund request
If Blaze Media denies your refund claim, send them a written request via email or registered post. Your message should state your full name, subscription account email address, the date you purchased the subscription, the date you cancelled, and the amount of the refund you are claiming. Reference the Consumer Protection Act, section 17, and state that you are exercising your statutory cooling-off right. Request a response within 7 business days.
Step two: contact the national consumer commission
If Blaze Media does not respond or refuses your refund claim after 7 business days, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission. Visit the NCC website at www.ncc.org.za and complete their online complaint form. Attach copies of your purchase receipt, cancellation confirmation, and all correspondence with Blaze Media. The NCC investigates complaints at no cost to you and can compel Blaze Media to issue a refund if they find in your favour.
Step three: escalate to your bank if necessary
If the NCC investigation takes longer than you can wait and you paid by debit or credit card, contact your bank and request a "chargeback" or "reversal" of the transaction. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation and explain that you are entitled to a refund under South African law. Your bank can reverse the charge while the NCC investigation proceeds in the background.
