Frequently asked questions
Cancel Arccos: The Right Way to Manage Your Subscription
How to cancel your Arccos subscription in south africa and understand your rights
What Arccos is and why you might want to cancel
Arccos is a golf performance tracking system that uses intelligent sensors embedded in your club heads to measure shot data, distances, and swing mechanics, feeding real-time insights into a mobile app called Arccos Caddie. The hardware (sensors and optional wearables) carries a one-time purchase cost, which typically includes your first year of membership. Once that included period expires, you pay an annual subscription to access the app's full analytics, coaching recommendations, and performance benchmarking features.
Your subscription renews automatically each year, usually charged in US dollars to your payment method. If the cost no longer justifies the value, you've reduced your golf frequency, or you've switched to an alternative tracking method, cancellation is straightforward once you know the correct procedure. This guide walks you through every cancellation route available to South African users, what happens after cancellation, and the consumer protections that apply to your account. Yafee has helped thousands of golfers navigate this process smoothly and reclaim control over their subscription spending.
The financial impact of not cancelling
Your subscription renews automatically at the end of your current period. If you do not cancel before renewal, you will be billed again, typically in USD. Currency fluctuations and conversion fees mean your South African bank statement often shows a higher charge than the advertised price. Preventing unwanted renewal charges before your billing date stops unexpected debits and gives you immediate control over your golf tech spending.
Your consumer rights under south african law
As a South African consumer, specific legal protections apply to digital services and subscriptions, strengthening your position if cancellation proves difficult.
Consumer protection act and the cooling-off period
The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) grants you the right to cancel distance contracts (including online subscriptions and software services) within 14 calendar days of purchase, provided you notify the seller in writing. This cooling-off period applies regardless of whether you have already used the service. The National Consumer Commission (NCC) enforces this right and acts as your escalation body if Arccos refuses to honour a valid cancellation.
For ongoing subscriptions beyond the initial 14-day window, you retain the right to cancel at any time, subject to the terms you agreed to at purchase. However, the service provider must make cancellation as simple as the original purchase. If Arccos forces you through unnecessary steps to cancel that were not required to sign up, this breaches the consumer fairness principle embedded in the CPA.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Arccos subscription in writing at any point after your initial 14-day cooling-off period. If Arccos refuses, continues billing after cancellation, or fails to acknowledge your request within a reasonable timeframe (typically 10 business days), escalate to the National Consumer Commission. Document all cancellation requests, confirmations, and billing statements. Yafee recommends keeping digital copies of every communication.
Billing transparency and refund entitlements
You have the right to know exactly what you are being charged, whether in South African Rand or with a transparent USD-to-ZAR conversion displayed clearly. Arccos charges in USD, so your bank statement may reflect a different amount than the advertised subscription price. Request a ZAR breakdown before renewal and track your next billing date in your account settings.
Refunds are not automatic upon cancellation, but you may pursue one if you cancel within 30 days of a new subscription period beginning or if Arccos fails to deliver the service as advertised. If the service was unavailable for a material portion of your billing period, that strengthens your refund claim.
How to cancel your Arccos subscription
Three main routes allow you to cancel your Arccos membership; the web dashboard is fastest and creates the strongest documented record.
Cancel through the Arccos web dashboard (fastest method)
Signing in to your account online and cancelling through the dashboard creates an immediate, timestamped cancellation record and typically triggers an instant confirmation email.
- Visit the Arccos website and sign in using your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link and follow the reset email instructions before proceeding.
- Navigate to your account settings, usually labelled "Account" or "Settings" in the top right corner or menu.
- Look for a "Billing", "Subscription", or "Membership" tab within account settings.
- Locate your active subscription and select the option to manage, edit, or cancel your membership.
- Arccos may ask you to confirm your email address or re-enter your password for security purposes.
- Review the cancellation confirmation screen, which typically displays your current billing period end date and confirmation that no further charges will occur after that date.
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation for your records.
- Click "Confirm Cancellation" or "Cancel Membership" (exact label varies).
- You should receive an immediate on-screen confirmation and a confirmation email within minutes.
- Check your inbox (including spam/junk folders) for a cancellation confirmation email from Arccos.
- This email is your proof of cancellation and should include your cancellation date and the final billing date.
Cancel via email to Arccos support
Contacting Arccos support in writing via email creates a documented record and is particularly useful if web dashboard cancellation fails or if you prefer written correspondence.
- Compose a clear cancellation email to Arccos support (typically [email protected] or a support contact on their website).
- Include your full name, email address, and the email address associated with your Arccos account if different.
- State clearly: "I wish to cancel my Arccos subscription effective immediately" or "effective at the end of my current billing period."
- Include your current account email and any account username or membership ID if available.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation, including the date your cancellation was processed and your final billing date.
- This ensures Yafee's principle of documented consent applies to your cancellation.
- Send the email from the address associated with your Arccos account.
- Keep a copy in your sent folder and take a screenshot for your records.
- Expect a response within 5 to 10 business days.
- If you do not receive a response within 14 days, send a follow-up email or escalate (see escalation section below).
Cancel by contacting Arccos directly by phone or mail
Telephone or postal contact is slower but remains valid if email channels are unresponsive.
- Search the Arccos website for a customer service phone number or mailing address.
- Note the time zone (Arccos is typically US-based, so factor in time zone differences for phone contact).
- Call or write to the address provided, stating your cancellation request clearly and including all account details (email, name, account ID if available).
- If calling, request the name and email of the agent handling your cancellation and ask them to send a written confirmation.
- If using postal mail, send your cancellation letter via registered mail to create proof of delivery.
- Include your name, full account email, subscription details, and a clear statement: "I cancel my Arccos subscription effective immediately."
- Retain the registered mail receipt and a copy of your letter for your records.
What happens after you cancel
Understanding what occurs after cancellation prevents confusion about your access, billing, and data.
Access and data after cancellation
Upon cancellation, your access to premium analytics features ceases at the end of your current billing period (or immediately, depending on Arccos' policy). Your historical shot data typically remains in your account if you retain access to the free or basic app tier, but you will no longer receive performance recommendations, benchmarking features, or coaching insights. Before cancelling, download or screenshot any data you wish to preserve. Yafee recommends exporting your shot history in any format Arccos offers.
Refunds and final billing
Arccos does not typically offer refunds for unused months within a subscription period, as the subscription is non-refundable once the billing cycle has begun. However, if you cancel within 14 days of purchase (your cooling-off period under the CPA), you may be entitled to a full refund. Submit a refund request in writing and cite your cooling-off right if applicable. If Arccos continues to bill after your cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider to dispute the charge and lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission.
Confirmation of cancellation
Within 24 to 48 hours of cancellation, you should receive a confirmation email. This email will typically state your cancellation effective date and confirm no further charges will be applied. If you do not receive this email, log in to your account dashboard and verify your subscription status. Contact support immediately if your subscription still appears active.
Pricing and subscription terms
Understanding Arccos' pricing structure helps you determine cancellation timing and forecast final charges.
| Subscription tier | Annual cost (USD) | Approximate cost (ZAR)* | Features included | Billing cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arccos Caddie | USD 99.99 | ZAR 1,800-2,000 | Full analytics, AI coaching, performance benchmarking | Annual (auto-renews) |
| Included with hardware purchase | Included (Year 1) | Included | Full features for first year post-purchase | 12 months from purchase |
| Free tier (basic app) | Free | Free | Basic shot tracking, no coaching or benchmarking | Ongoing |
*ZAR conversion varies daily based on exchange rates. Check your bank statement or Arccos' USD invoice for your exact charge in South African Rand.
Common mistakes when cancelling Arccos
Cancellation is rarely complex, but these pitfalls can delay or complicate the process; awareness helps you avoid them entirely.
Delaying cancellation until after renewal
Many users intend to cancel but postpone the action, only to discover they have been charged for another year. Mark your renewal date in your calendar now and cancel at least one week before it arrives. If you are charged after cancellation, contact your payment provider or bank within 30 days to dispute the transaction as unauthorised.
Confusing account deletion with subscription cancellation
Deleting your Arccos account may not automatically cancel your subscription. Proceed with the specific cancellation steps outlined above first, then consider account deletion only if you wish to remove all personal data. Verify your subscription status one final time before closing the account entirely.
Failing to keep cancellation confirmation
Arccos' email confirmations sometimes land in spam folders or are accidentally deleted. Save all cancellation confirmations immediately, take screenshots, and retain them for at least 12 months. If a dispute arises, this documentation is your strongest defence against unexpected charges.
Not checking your bank statement after cancellation
Monitor your bank statement for 45 days after cancellation to confirm no further Arccos charges appear. If a charge does appear post-cancellation, contact Arccos support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email and request a refund. Escalate to your payment provider or the National Consumer Commission if Arccos does not refund within 14 days.
If Arccos refuses to cancel your subscription
You have clear escalation routes if Arccos does not honour a valid cancellation request or continues billing after you have cancelled.
Step one: formal written demand
Send a registered letter or formal email to Arccos support that states: "I formally demand cancellation of my subscription effective immediately, in accordance with my rights under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008. If you do not confirm cancellation within 10 business days, I will escalate this matter to the National Consumer Commission." Include copies of all previous cancellation requests and account details. Keep the registered mail receipt or email delivery proof.
Step two: escalate to the national consumer commission
If Arccos does not respond within 10 business days or refuses to cancel, lodge a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC investigates breaches of the Consumer Protection Act and can compel Arccos to honour your cancellation and refund any charges applied after your valid cancellation request. Yafee recommends providing the NCC with all documentary evidence: cancellation emails, confirmation screenshots, billing statements, and copies of your correspondence with Arccos support.
Step three: dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider
If Arccos continues to charge you after cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider (credit card, debit card, or PayPal) within 30 days of the unauthorised charge. Request a chargeback or reversal, citing that you cancelled the subscription and the charge was unauthorised. Your bank will investigate and typically reverses the charge within 30 days if you provide evidence of cancellation.
When to keep your Arccos subscription
Cancellation is not always the right choice; consider these scenarios where retention may benefit your golf improvement and data continuity.
You use your clubs frequently and track improvement
If you play weekly or more often and rely on Arccos insights to analyse your swing patterns and course performance, the subscription delivers measurable value. The coaching recommendations and benchmarking data provide accountability and structured improvement pathways that justify the annual cost.
You are within your hardware warranty period
Arccos sensors often function best when paired with the active subscription, and the warranty may require your subscription to remain active. Verify the terms before cancelling, as discontinuing the subscription might void hardware claims.
You plan to resume regular golf soon
If your current golf frequency is temporary (off-season, injury recovery, or travel), keeping the subscription preserves your data continuity and historical performance records. Reactivating an old account is simpler than rebuilding from scratch after a gap.
Cancellation checklist and contact details
Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is complete and documented; include Arccos' primary contact addresses for any required correspondence.
Before you cancel
- Check your current billing date and subscription renewal date in your account settings.
- Download or screenshot any shot data, performance reports, or insights you wish to retain.
- Note your account email address and any membership ID for reference.

Final summary and next steps
Cancelling your Arccos subscription in South Africa is straightforward when you follow the documented procedures outlined above. You retain the legal right to cancel at any time under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, and Arccos must honour your request within a reasonable timeframe. The web dashboard method is fastest and creates the strongest cancellation record; email or formal written requests serve as valid alternatives if dashboard cancellation fails.
Before you cancel, download your shot data, verify your renewal date, and decide whether retention aligns with your golf goals. Monitor your bank statement for 45 days after cancellation to confirm no unauthorised charges appear. If Arccos refuses to cancel or continues billing, escalate to the National Consumer Commission and dispute the charge with your bank.

Your rights as a consumer are protected by law, and you should never feel pressured to maintain a subscription that no longer serves you.
