Frequently asked questions
Cancel Cheerfun: The Right Way to Reclaim Your Funds
How to cancel Cheerfun and reclaim your ZAR in south africa
What Cheerfun is and why you might want to cancel
Cheerfun is a mobile app subscription service that delivers cheerleading fitness programmes and conditioning content to children and young adults in South Africa. The service operates through Apple App Store and Google Play, charging recurring subscription fees in South African Rands directly to your device account. The company operates under Jingcheng Zhiyuan Trade Co., Limited, registered in Hong Kong.
You may be cancelling because your child has lost interest in the content, you've found a more affordable alternative, or you're tightening your household budget. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process step by step, ensuring you avoid surprise charges and understand your refund entitlements under South African law.
How Cheerfun operates in south africa
Cheerfun delivers all content exclusively through mobile app stores rather than a standalone website. This critical distinction means your subscription, billing, and cancellation tie directly to your Apple ID (iOS users) or Google Play account (Android users), not to Cheerfun itself. The app store platform - not Cheerfun - processes your cancellation request and manages your billing cycle. Understanding this separation is essential because you cancel through your device account settings, not through a Cheerfun customer portal.
Why cancellation timing matters for your wallet
Cheerfun's subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel before your renewal date. A single missed cancellation deadline can result in an unwanted charge of R39.99 (monthly plan) or R199.99 (annual plan) to your payment method. Yafee has helped thousands of South African consumers avoid these automatic charges by acting quickly during free trial periods or within the first billing cycle.
Cheerfun subscription plans and pricing in south africa
Identifying your specific subscription plan is the first step toward cancelling the correct agreement and claiming the appropriate refund window.
Current Cheerfun plans and costs
| Plan name | Price (ZAR) | Billing cycle | What you get | Refund window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ad-free (one-time) | R9.99 | One-time purchase | Removes ads for one month | 14 days from purchase |
| Monthly subscription (Fitivity Premium) | R39.99 | Monthly, auto-renew | Full app features and premium content | Within billing period |
| Yearly subscription (Fitivity Premium) | R199.99 | Annual, auto-renew | Full app features for 12 months | Within first 48 hours or refund period |
| Lifetime premium | R5,999.99 | One-time purchase | Permanent access to all premium features | 14 days from purchase |
How your plan type affects your cancellation rights
Monthly subscriptions renew every 30 days, creating a tight window to cancel before the next charge processes. Annual plans defer renewal for 12 months but charge a larger upfront fee (R199.99). Lifetime purchases cannot be cancelled - they grant permanent access - but you can request a refund within 14 days of purchase if you change your mind. Identifying your plan prevents you from accidentally renewing a subscription you no longer want.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (Act 68 of 2008) and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) together establish your cancellation rights, especially when dealing with foreign companies like Cheerfun.
What the consumer protection act gives you
The Consumer Protection Act entitles you to cancel any distance contract - including app subscriptions - within 14 calendar days of purchase with no reason and at no cost. For subscriptions that renew automatically, you hold the right to cancel the recurring agreement at any time. Cheerfun must not charge you after you cancel, even if you initiated the cancellation mid-cycle. The National Consumer Commission (NCC) enforces this Act and acts as your escalation authority if Cheerfun refuses to honour your cancellation.
Your legal position: You have an absolute right to cancel Cheerfun within 14 days of purchase and receive a full refund. For ongoing subscriptions, you can cancel at any time and must receive a refund for any unused portion of your billing cycle. Cheerfun cannot impose penalties or hidden fees for cancellation.
How POPIA protects your payment information
The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) requires Cheerfun to securely store your payment details and delete them upon cancellation. When you cancel, you can request that Cheerfun remove your card details from their system. If Cheerfun continues to charge you after cancellation or refuses to delete your information, you can lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator.

What happens after you cancel Cheerfun
Cancelling Cheerfun triggers a series of events that you should monitor to ensure the process completes correctly.
Your access and charges post-cancellation
Once you cancel, your access to Cheerfun's premium features ends on your next renewal date. You will retain access until that date, then revert to the free (ad-supported) version if one exists. No further charges will appear on your account after the final renewal date passes. If a charge appears after your cancellation, contact Apple or Google Play immediately with your cancellation confirmation and request a chargeback.
Refund timelines for south african accounts
Apple and Google Play process refunds within 3 to 10 business days for South African accounts. The refunded amount will appear as a credit to your original payment method (debit card, credit card, or mobile wallet). If you do not see the refund within 10 business days, contact your bank to confirm the transaction was received, then escalate to Apple or Google Play support with evidence of your cancellation request.
Reclaiming your payment details
After cancellation, your payment card details remain stored in your Apple ID or Google Play account for future purchases. If you wish to delete this information entirely, you must remove it from your account settings. Navigate to your account settings, select "Payment methods," and delete the card linked to Cheerfun. This step prevents Cheerfun (or other apps) from charging your card in future without fresh authorisation.
Common mistakes when cancelling Cheerfun
Most cancellation failures stem from avoidable errors - the good news is that awareness prevents them entirely.
Mistake 1: deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Removing Cheerfun from your device does not cancel your subscription. The recurring charge will continue until you explicitly cancel through your app store account. Always cancel first through your Apple ID or Google Play settings, then delete the app.
Mistake 2: missing the 14-day refund window
You have only 14 days from purchase to claim a full refund under South African consumer law. If you cancel after this window closes, you lose the right to a refund for that billing cycle. Mark your renewal date on your calendar and act at least three days before it arrives.
Mistake 3: not keeping cancellation confirmation
Screenshot or save the confirmation message Apple or Google Play sends when you cancel. If a dispute arises, this evidence proves you acted within the legal window and strengthens your refund claim. Many disputes resolve quickly when you produce written proof of timely cancellation.
Mistake 4: confusing Cheerfun with fitivity
Cheerfun operates under the "Fitivity Premium" label in some app store regions. If you cannot find "Cheerfun" in your subscriptions list, search for "Fitivity" instead. Cancelling the wrong subscription leaves Cheerfun's charges active.
How to claim a refund for Cheerfun charges
If Cheerfun charged you without consent or you missed the cancellation window, South African law offers refund pathways.
Refund eligibility under consumer law
You qualify for a refund if you cancelled within 14 days of purchase, if Cheerfun charged you after you cancelled, or if you can prove you did not authorise the subscription. The Consumer Protection Act places the burden on Cheerfun to prove you consented to the charge. If Cheerfun cannot produce evidence of your informed consent, you win the refund dispute.
Step-by-step refund process through apple or google play
- Log into your Apple ID or Google Play account and navigate to your Purchase History.
- Locate the Cheerfun charge you want refunded.
- Select "Report a Problem" or "Request a refund" (wording varies by platform).
- Choose your reason: "Accidental purchase," "Subscription not used," or "Did not authorize charge."
- Provide a brief explanation (50 words maximum) stating why you deserve the refund.
- Submit and await the refund decision (typically 3 to 10 business days).
Escalating if the app store denies your refund
If Apple or Google Play rejects your refund request, contact the National Consumer Commission (NCC) in South Africa. File a formal complaint with the NCC, attaching your cancellation confirmation, screenshots of the unauthorised charge, and the app store's denial letter. The NCC can compel Cheerfun to refund you and may levy penalties against the company for non-compliance.
Pricing comparison and why you might reconsider
Before you cancel, compare Cheerfun's cost to similar fitness and cheerleading apps available in South Africa.
| App or service | Monthly cost (ZAR) | Annual cost (ZAR) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheerfun (Fitivity Premium) | R39.99 | R199.99 | Cheerleading conditioning and fitness |
| FitOn | Free tier available; Premium R49.99 | R499.99 | Dance, fitness, and wellness classes |
| Peloton Digital | R60.00 | R600.00 | Cycling, running, and strength training |
| YouTube Premium (fitness content) | Free with ads; Premium R149.99 | Included in Premium | Free and paid fitness channels |
Cheerfun's monthly cost of R39.99 is competitive for specialised cheerleading content. However, if your child prefers broader fitness or dance options, alternatives like FitOn or YouTube fitness channels may offer better value. Review your child's actual usage before cancelling - many families discover they prefer a different app, not app subscriptions entirely.
